Just want to Thank you for the nice response on the DIP DOG STAND..In 2007 it will be around for 50 years. THe batter is a secret so we can’t give that out. But we dont use pancake batter so don’t try that one.. IT is a unique batter we have and they are made fresh daily and so is our onion rings….. If anyone is every by Marion or Chilhowie Virginia we would love for you to stop in and see us we are on HWY 11 West of Marion.. The phone number is 276-783-2698. Thank again for you kind remarks about the DIPDOG that is why we are still in business for 50 years is for all the nice people we serve.. God bless you all… Grant and Pam Hall owners of the DIPDOG STAND…
