A very good deal as they sell high quality hot dogs at a very affordable price. The staff is extremely friendly and the decoration is like a museum! A must-go place for a Berkeley student.

Top Dog is the reason I came to Berkeley! It always brightens my day after a hard exam or is the perfect addition to an afternoon out with friends. My favorite dogs are garlic frankfurter and bratwurst.

I'm not sure if we just caught them on a bad day, but our experience with the customer service felt a bit off. We were trying to be respectful of the space and order properly, but the communication felt passive-aggressive. The staff seemed focused on their tasks, but the way they pointed to signs instead of explaining things verbally came across as a bit unfriendly and made the experience less pleasant for us.

I used to eat here regularly for years until they fired a guy for having a political opinion. That was incredibly wrong to do and crossed a line with me. I've never spent another dime in there since then. And to think: the ORIGINAL owner really DID stand for free speech and freedom. Berkeley's just a joke, now, and so is Top Dog.
Going there for years. Best sausages, best hot dogs, best self-serve condiments in the extended Bay Area. Great service, politically and socially good humored. A must go to place.Parking: Next to a small paid parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids love the warm atmosphere and the self-help station.Wheelchair accessibility: It is a direct access from me side- walk with possibility to order from there.

The legendary Top Dog! A great affordable eat in Berkeley and always open late night. This place is a Berkeley and Bay Area classic. If there is heavy traffic on 80 west I might just make a detour to top dog every time. You must try top dog while in town if you never have. Especially all the glizzy lovers out there! This place has been around as long as I can remember. You will not be disappointed.
