If you ask Hungarians what a Hungarian Hot Dog is, they will tell you that there is no such a thing. Packo, of Hungarian origin, invented it and went down in history for this tasty innovation. His hot dogs, homemade buns, and special sauce are so famous that even celebrities come to Packo's just to try them. In keeping with tradition, they then leave a signed bun to be placed on the wall among other exciting souvenirs. Packo's is a family business that had its modest beginnings in 1932. Today, it boasts five locations in Toledo.

The original Packo's is a large, bustling family restaurant where servers glide about the room with full trays, people chat and laugh, and nobody feels embarrassed by the sauce stains on their faces.

Order a juicy smoked hot dog on a house bun, smothered with Tony Packo's famous sauce, and topped with a bit of chili and shredded cheese.
