In Georgia, Willie’s Wee-Nee Wagon is known as one of the best hot dog joints you’ll find across the Peach State! Located in Brunswick, this longtime roadside favorite has the kind of old-school feel that makes it stand out the second you pull up. The business began in 1975 as a small hot dog cart on Norwich Street before growing into its well-known spot on Altama Avenue, right across from the College of Coastal Georgia. Today, you still order inside, pick up your food from the front window, and settle in around the screened-in picnic area for a true local experience.

The menu goes way beyond hot dogs, with famous pork chop sandwiches, fresh burgers, slaw dogs, chili cheese fries, onion rings, and sweet tea that keeps people coming back year after year. The pork chop sandwich has become one of Willie’s biggest claims to fame, often ordered with mustard, grilled onions, relish, tomatoes, and a side of hot peppers. The chili has plenty of flavor, the slaw is chopped fine with a nice crunch, and the service keeps the line moving without losing that friendly Southern feel. Whether you stop in for lunch, a quick bite, or a full plate of Brunswick comfort food, Willie’s Wee-Nee Wagon feels like the kind of classic Georgia place people remember long after they leave.
