Had to try their classic hot dog with the chili! Staff was super friendly and offered to pour chili on the dog until I said “when” and it was delicious! I’ll have the give the other ones a try in the future

It was a while since I've been here so I stopped bye. There's no crowd which is awesome. The dog tasted the same. But the bread was a little stale. Food reserved quickly and the

I don't agree with the other review. I think it's more likely some of the customers are rude rather than the people taking time out of their day to prepare snacks and meals for people. I like the vegan dogs and onions. I like to read the political stuff on the walls. I pile my vegan dog with diced onions and ketchup. I'm kind of afraid of mustard. I don't know why people want to fill up their body with the innards of other animals.Animal cells start to decay inside people when they eat them over time there is decayed cells inside your bowels. The vegan dog is tasty it doesn't seem the same as a juicy New Yorker or Kielbasa though. Impossible Sausage gets more plump and juicy and I like the vegan casing. Remember you are basically eating the intestinal lining of animals that only grazing on some plant. I think the vegan dogs should be cheaper to see what happens to customer preferences. I think Top Dog should go all vegan. There is hypocrisy in the progressive values of the owners and workers. The workers in the meat industry are being exploited. I should write a letter to the business. Because I have enjoyed going to Top Dog for a long time. Don't change anything else but provide plant based food because eating animals is abuse not food and not healthy. There are other vegan dogs out there that Top Dog should sell. I can't afford the other eating options and I can't afford to cook my own vegan dogs rights.

Buns are the highlight. Service is lacking (rude). And there are no vegan or vegetarian options due to cross contamination on the grill. It would be so easy to have a second set of tongs, and 8 inches of dedicated grill space for the veggie dogs. But I guess it's not a priority.

The food is not sanitary the worker touched some trash and then the food with his glove then touched a chair and the open sign with the same glove. Highly not recommend and he burnt the hotdog when it was finally ready after awhile.

Went to this location after trying the other one and the service here was much better. The woman helping was quick easy and very friendly. Food was cooked pretty quick and we were able to get free water before heading out. It does get busy, so expect to stand outside to wait. There are trees, so it shouldn't get too hot.

Got me through my years of high school. Great food and service at both locations. Anyone open that late deserves love

Love the frankfurters, kielbasas and hot links! Get them to go and cook them up later.I love them alone, without a bun.

Great food a little expensive and horrible customer services me and my friend went there are were treated horribly and also were refused to get our food due to the cashier having a bad day and annoyed by the students paying money for their paycheck

My best friend and I were cruising past a bunch of great options, and I'm not really sure what made us stop here, but we are very happy we did! AMAZING! we had to buy a second round because it was so good! Definitely recommend stopping by and trying more than one menu option! You will be happy you did!Vegetarian options: The Weenie (Veggie):Wheat protein, bell peppers, fennel, eggplant and fresh garlic.
