I like a hotdog every now and then. I’m pretty simple with the condiments, yellow mustard, dill pickle slices and chili (sauce in Ohio). Where is a good place to get a hotdog that IS NOT a chain restaurant?

Jacob's Java in Marietta Georgia. Chicago Dogs, Chilli Dogs (Chicago Chilli), or anyway you want it. Also Polish dogs. Also, also, Italian beef sandwich.
He also has smoothies (non dairy) and obviously coffee.
I love the ones I make at home.
OM all beef bun-length cooked in my toaster oven.
Paired with a fresh potato hot dog bun.
Garnished with yellow mustard and relish (sweet or dill).
Every now and then I will substitute cole slaw for the relish.
Yum!

There's a hole-in-the-wall shop called Hot Dog Hut in Jax Beach that has just about every kind of hotdog to choose from. On the beach side of A1A. Simple and good. 
I remember a place in downtown Birmingham that was a literal hole in the wall. Cannot remember the name. Doubt it is even there anymore.
As long as it's "all beef" I don't really care where it's from.
Bang for a buck, literally, is the hot dog combo at Sams. $1.50!

Gus's....... Still there. Still the same.
Never been there, but I see that the little shop first opened in 1947 by a Greek immigrant. I absolutely love venerable mom-and-pop shops. Even better if it is from an immigrant who has embraced the American Dream. Love it!
been about 26 years for me since I went. I remember it being great. Found it completely by accident.
Chris’s Hotdogs
Also, to keep it on topic, Chris's Hotdogs on Dexter Avenue in Montgomery. Sitting at the foot of Goat Hill, it's been an institution for lawmakers for decades.
Quite a few of Birmingham's historical landmark restaurants were started by Greeks, particularly barbecue. It's a fascinating study.

Great story from 2024, and (I thought) a good fit for this thread!
Is this really good? I actually drive by this place about once a month.

I have never stopped there. I would but it’s out of the way to anywhere we go. So you run rt. 2 from Barboursville, to Point Plesant W.V.? My son and neighbors have and said it pretty good.
