    I love their tofu dogs. I was shocked and brought it back to the counter the first time, thinking it was a regular dog. It's a vegetarian treat!*short bus shortie (1/2 dog) shown below.

    They serve premium hot dogs made with 85% beef and 15% pork that are topped with house-made condiments and held together by Slow Dough pretzel buns. Plenty of local brews are on tap. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Classic dogs, sandwiches, milkshakes and a variety of local craft brews are up for grabs. It's family friendly, open until 11 p.m. and the owners are known for supporting the local community.

    I love the collard greens. If anything sounds good to you it will be. One of my favorites is the chili cheese dog, with regular meat chili, and the tofu dog. 🌭

    Not your regular Hot Dog, fresh buttery bun, tasty warm sausages and multiple toppings... local beer on tap plus great service.

    All the dogs are awesome, tho we really like the old zapata. Don't miss the fish & chips if you're not in a good dog mood.

    These weenie masters up the ante on a traditional chili dog with a thick and chunky beef and chorizo chili that has a saucy sweet heat and tactfully greasy finish. Read more

    It's hard to go wrong. It depends on your favorite flavors and/or mood to which dog you choose. They are all truly unique and excellent. I recently had the Curryous Frank--very pleased with my choice.

    Don't be afraid to order outside of your comfort zone. Cucumber dog was top notch.

    Everything is amazing. You can't choose a bad hot dog, side, or local craft brew. Try the first one that strikes your fancy. Then, come back and try everything else!

    Homemade condiments are all good. Wings are spicy and flavorful. Picnic dog was great! Try the lavender lemonade 😋

    One of my favorite new restaurants in Houston! Picnic dog, ol' Zapata, corny dogs and their housemade chips are some personal favorites.

    If you want something other than a hot dog, try the Pork&Pear Roll or the Chicky Chicky Parm Parm!

    Their veggie dog is awesome. This is the only place I have found that has a veggie dog worth eating.

    Great spot for vegetarians to hit some tofu dogs. Try their daily dog for something outside the norm.

    Try the Cajeta & Caphin milkshake. Absolutely delicious! And you can't go wrong with any of their hot dogs.

    I've got the Sloppy Slaw Dog, it's good, but I still prefer the dogs from Sammy's Wild Game Grill. It's fries and chips are much better though.

    Sorry to be a dick, but this place doesn't even begin to touch the hot dog places in Chicago. They lean too heavily on the dressing and skip a quality sausage. Cool vibe though.

    Hard to make a vegan dog as buns are not - but they have tofu dogs available to substitute in any dog.

    Entertaining to watch old and young hipsters. Fries are better than the actual hot dogs.

    I think I just like my hot dogs classic, this place was just not my jam. Too much going on. I didn't finish it and definitely didn't think it was worth the money.
