Now that summer is unofficially here, it has us thinking about all of our favorite go-to summer foods! What pairs perfectly with warm weather and a pool day?! A hotdog, of course! We’ve gathered some of the best places to get your hotdog fix in town!
WILD ABOUT HARRY’S
Since 1996, Harry has been serving his mother’s recipe of frozen custard & hot dogs — so this is a true Dallas staple located in North Oak Lawn! The checkered floor and bright colors will definetely have you feeling nostalgic with their tropical diner theme. The Dallas, with mustard, relish, onions and cheese, is a must, but beyond it, there are 10 options and you can upgrade any to a jumbo dog, veggie dog or polish sausage.
ANGRY DOG
Angry Dog is an OG Deep Ellum dive bar and has been open since 1990 on Commerce Street. Their hot dog has made the Best Of list from Dallas Observer and D Magazine! They’re known for their “Angry Dog”, piled high with chili, grilled onions & cheese, but they also serve local fave Luscher’s! You can always expect sports games on their 9 tvs so pull up a chair and order one of their hot dogs while you’re at it!
COLD BEER COMPANY
Cold Beer Company’s vintage vibe rests in Deep Ellum and offers $2 off hot dogs every Wednesday! Their “Big Ass Hot Dog” is a 1/2 pound all beef dog on a poppyseed bun. You can add chili and hatch queso... or order the “Expo Dog,” which is essentially the Big Ass Hot Dog plus mac-and-cheese, bacon and peppers!
DOG HAUS BIERGARTEN
This craft-casual gourmet hot dogs chain has locations in Arlington, Richardson and in Dos Equis Pavilion with Lake Highlands on the way and is proud to offer 100% all natural, vegetarian-fed, hormone and antibiotic-free meat. In total, they have 8 Haus dogs to choose from and all Dog Haus dogs, sausages and burgers are served on grilled King's Hawaiian rolls. They also have a corn dog made with root beer batter!
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS
CORNDOG WITH NO NAME
In Dallas, we deeply fry our dogs and eat ‘em as corndogs! “CornDog With No Name” is a mother/daughter team of fried food connoisseurs that started this pop-up restaurant and special event food concept together. They serve their franks hand-dipped in a corn flour-based batter on a wooden stick and then deep-fried in hot oil. Make sure to top off your entree with a sweet funnel cake! Curbside & delivery are coming soon so stay tuned!
TJ’S DAWG HOUSE
You can find the TJ’s Dawg House truck located outside the Lowe’s Home Improvement Store in Richardson. TJ brings all the flavor and tastes of a Chicago dog to Texas. You can find classic staple Chicago dogs all the way up to more adventurous hot dogs. They have chairs and umbrellas for you to enjoy your dog during patio weather season.
THE BEST HOT DOG
The Best Hot Dog also hails from outside a Lowe’s Home Improvement Store! You will find their stand out front of the Lowe’s in West Dallas. It might appear to look like your average hotdog stand, but is so much more! Their selections include American style, German, New York, Chicago and Tex Mex. Undecided? You can choose your hot dog style and they will give you the best sausages and condiments for your choice!
HUNKY'S OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGERS
When you think of Hunky’s, you might first think of a hamburger, but the hotdog is an underrated menu item at this classic, old fashioned diner with locations at Oak Lawn and Bishop Arts. Choose from a Hunky Cheesy Dog, Corny Dog, Hunky Chili Dog or a traditional Hunky Dog! Wash it down with a famous Hunky’s shake to complete your diner experience!
