Rally's Chili Dog
What I Got: Rally’s Chili Dog $1.29
Our next stop on our fast food chili dog tour is at Rally’s (Checker’s). The Rally’s Chili Dog is a standard hot dog topped with chili, ketchup, mustard and red onion.
As with any chili dog, what you are primarily reviewing is the chili and Rally’s chili that they place on top of their chili dogs is top notch when compared against the other fast food competitors. It’s meaty, thick and has a nice little kick to it. Then, you get a nice little sweet flavor added in with the ketchup, which is something that you usually don’t see on most fast food chili dogs (or any chili dogs for that matter).
After the chili taste, you get a nice mix of a crunchy red onions and a meaty hot dog. The bun can get soggy from the chili, but that is because the chili soaks it. And if you like to soak bread in chili to make it soggy before you take a bite, then this is a great mix.
Would I Buy It Again? Yes, I definitely would. It’s cheap, the chili is tasty and the hot dog is meaty. Plus, for a price that relatively low, it won’t hurt your wallet too much either. As you can see in the picture above, this chili dog isn’t going to win any beauty prizes, but I would stack its taste up against any other fast food competitor.

Looks like a definite buy for only $1.29. I’ll have to check out the Checkers version…prob the same right? Great week of dogs my friends.
Yeah, I would assume the Checkers version is the exact same. I’ve never been to a Checkers so I can’t confirm, but I think the only difference in Rally’s/Checkers is the name.
From my experience of living near both places, the name is the only difference.
I think that Carl’s Jr. and Hardees are the same way.
We are having a snowstorm this week [12 inches plus, big for us] and one thing I love to do when we are snowed in is cook yummy foods.
You have inspired me with all the chili dog posts and we are going to have them for lunch tomorrow after we play in the snow.
Thank you.
I know you review fast food, but if you are making them at home what type of chili do you make or buy [in a can] to make your own? [if you do]
Thanks!
I know I’m a little late on responding to this, but I usually just use the store bought chili and leave it as-is. I’ve occasionally added a little extra chili powder to it, but I think I’ve only done that once or twice. Other than that, I always add mustard, onions and cheese on top of my dogs because I figure that those are the essential chili dog ingredients (I guess cheese isn’t, but mustard and onions are 100% necessary).
Rally’s is awesome. They also sell a chili dog with cheese, it’s the #12 combo. They are also now selling small bowls of their chili for $1.
Actually, I meant to say ”Checkers is awesome” since that’s the one in my area, but since Rally’s is the same place, I guess it’s safe to assume they’re awesome as well.
