Comet Dogs

★★★★★ 4.5 (40)

"This hot dog stand literally changed my life... and here's how:So myself and two guys from work ended up at King Cobra one night and were standing outside so the two of them could have a smoke. We had had multiple beers and collectively close to a full bottle of Jameson consumed between the three of us, so we were a bit... "Loose." Some even more drunk bimbo-ish woman comes stumbling by toting a hot dog. The following dialogue took place:Me: "HEY! Is that an AWESOME HOT DOG?!!!"Her::" YOU'RE an AWESOME HOT DOG!!"Me: "I'll AWESOME HOT DOG IN YOU'RE EYE!" (i'm aware of the mispelling of "your." but this is an accurate description of the conversation, and in my verbal drunkenness I used the incorrect version of the word. don't question it)I'm not even sure what I meant by that, but the alcohol had completely removed any verbal filter I would normally have (and my sober verbal filter is faulty at best). She proceeded to get drunkenly angry and kick over the sand-filled cigarette/ash tray pot thingy outside of king cobra spilling sand and cigarettes all over the sidewalk.It was then we realized getting one of these hot dogs was a fantastic idea. And where my life got changed is when the man serving the hot dogs asked me:"Would you like cream cheese on that?"I was in such disbelief. As a man who loves cream cheese on most things, I had never thought of this combo. And it was so good (as far as I can remember) I have not had a hot dog without cream cheese since (well, except chili dogs).Thank you sidewalk cream cheese AWESOME HOT DOG Man!"

Korn Dog

★★★★★ 4.5 (46)

"No complaints here! This is a small pickup spot in CapHill. Very unassuming and seems to be locally owned! The menu is very detailed and there's many different Korean corn dogs to choose from.I got the Potato Mozza, which was perfectly crispy and had plenty of potato! The mozzarella did it's cheese pull and we were on our merry way. The perfect mid-day snack while shopping in the area. I would love to come back and try their Tteokbokki or Sodduk :)"

Nola Hot Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.3 (9)

"This is a very nice little hot dog spot in the plaza. They have a covered area where you can peacefully find all the fixins, which is a plus. However it would be great if they had even one little table to sit at. I say this because the item I ordered, although DELICIOUS, was difficult to eat without everything sliding off. I would have loved the option to eat it with a fork.They have two very large speakers that play music you can hear a block away (literally). It's cool but they are placed right under where you order so you have to yell. I had the Louisiana Hot Link. It's only a little zesty, but good. Only complaint was that it was hard to eat as the onions kept sliding off. But delicious!"

Five Guys

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (155) • $$

"To me five guys is a get what ya pay for kind a place to me it's not cheap and it's not expensive considering the higher levels of legitimacy etc... Today I got a bacon cheeseburger as the base before condiments it was quite good and the staff where friendly. Mostly just a get what ya pay for quality type place. The burgers are quite huge (likely and possibly hard to fit ones mouth around not nessisaraly in a bad way) thus I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this chain in general is a favorite amongst Pro football linemen with quite large apatite's like old world workaholic lifestyle lumberjacks with high calorie intake and burning kind of thing etc...."

Dirty Dog

★★★★☆ 4 (21) • $

"$6 for a dog packed with fixin's... need I say more? Passed by a handful of times over the course of the week before I finally bit the bullet. Best decision ever. It checks all the boxes, especially if you're hungry. First time trying cream cheese on my hot dog, and let me tell you, it makes all the difference. I got the spicy dog with cream cheese, onions, and jalapeños. Great flavor -- the sausage tastes just like my favorite brand Evergood from the Bay Area. (If it is the same, he knows what's good!) Friendly and cheery vendor, really makes an effort to chat while he preps your order. Sometimes he'll get so invested in the convo that small mistakes arise or you'll need to repeat your preferences, but I personally don't mind. Support small!"

Ranch Drive-In

★★★★☆ 3.5 (374)

"Updating my review from 5 years ago... and there's nothing I would really change. The food is the same; prices have gone way up, but what hasn't? They even use the same non-Heinz ketchup (Sysco?) Crinkle cut fries are my Kryptonite and Ranch always make them perfect & crispy. I dearly love this place because it hasn't changed and isn't trying to be something it's not (looking at you Stack 51 across the street ). It's also a rite of passage for many Bothell teenagers to work here! What a great first job!Food: 2.5 starsOverall: 4 stars"

"Went day after grand opening. As expected there are still some kinks to work out but the staff is extremely professional, nice and enthusiastic. Happy to have a good burger spot in WS."

Big Dog's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (41) • $

"My wife and just got back from Lake Stevens' farmers market where Big dogs food truck was at so after we wandered around and checked out the venders displays we decided to give them a try. In all honesty this isn't my first big dog meal but it has been a while and I can't remember what I had then but I do remember it was a good meal then and that was consistent with tonight's order. So my wife ordered the "Wilson" , and I ordered the "Seadog". The hotdogs that you get are a beef dog nice snap when you take a bite it's not a speciality wiener but it is a good foundation, their buns are a hoggy roll while not a traditional hotdog bun I think this allows them to be generous with the add ons. Check out their menu to see what's available I think you'll appreciate the quality ingredients they use my Sea dog was delicious my wife has not eaten her dog so I can't give any info on the "Wilson" uh also just a side note it's time to come up with a new name for that item Russell Wilson isn't on the team anymore. So to sum it up wait time to order wasn't bad and the time to get our order wasn't bad either so if you happen to come across Big Dogs at an event I think you'll be happy getting a " Big Dog ""

Scoops & Bites

★★★★☆ 4.3 (52) • $

"Great ice cream! I actually received a complimentary scoop for checking-in but did not realize it until after I had already purchased a scoop! Therefore, I had to have two scoops while driving back to the hotel following my Seattle adventure. The Mint Chocolate Chip and Bremerton Blue ice cream attacked my taste buds in a positive way.The staff were very accommodating, professional and extremely pleasant to chat with. Should I visit the area again, I will visit for sure. Delicious flavors that will satisfy any palate.Highly recommend."

Mochinut - Bothell

★★★★☆ 4.1 (42)

"Fantastic location of mochinut. I love mochinut and the quality the uphold no matter what location they have.I will say, I have rated mochinut before in the past as a 4 star. It was nothing about the food that made in 4 starts but the last location I went to. The staff was understaff and were relatively rude. But not here. At this location, the staff was so nice and accommodating for everything we wanted to eat or drink.Also, this location had a crazy set of donuts and they were a big reason for the 5 star rating. I went with the pocky matcha, ube wafer, and blackberry churro donutsAll were 10/10 donuts and were so good. I came back two more times during my time in Washington.Lovely location of mochinut and if you've never had mochinut. This is a great location of their business to go to!"

Chicago Pastrami

★★★★☆ 3.9 (245)

"I've been coming here since 2016 and really enjoy the hot pastrami sandwiches. I stopped in recently to grab lunch and went for the classic Chicago Pastrami sandwich, along with some fries and onion rings to share. The sandwich was delicious, loaded with tasty pastrami. Fries were cooked perfectly and nicely seasoned. The onion rings were crispy and light. Everything hit the spot. I always enjoy the atmosphere, fun decor, and service is always fast and friendly."

Happy Lemon - Edmonds

★★★★☆ 3.6 (195) • $

"I first saw the Happy Lemon bubble waffle in action on YouTube in a video by a duo based in Honolulu. It looked good, but I was uncertain of whether it would be as good in person as it looked on TV. So, I looked up Happy Lemon to see if they had any locations closer to me and found this Edmonds location a few miles from the house. After running 21.84 miles over the past 7 days, I decided to celebrate by trying out the bubble waffle.Arriving around 6:00 p.m. today, Monday 14 August 2023, I placed my order for an original bubble waffle and Tiramisu salted cheese (abbreviated SC on my receipt) at 6:04 p.m. and the workers were on filling it. By 6:12 p.m. I was out the door with my waffle and dipping sauce in hand.The bubbles of the waffle were partially filled with the waffle and partially filled with air. It was light and fluffy and a sweet flavor. The Tiramisu salted cheese was more of a rich flavor, which paired well with the sweetness of the waffle. I found it to be a nice sweet treat for a hot summer evening."

Mochinut - Edmonds

★★★★☆ 3.8 (49)

"Mochinut and Happy Lemon are one and the same, located in a busy strip mall at the intersection of 220th and Highway 99. I have had a craving for mochinuts for weeks but each time I've stopped by the store was ridiculously busy so I passed--this intensifying my craving over time! Pro tip: if you want to avoid crowds, don't come here after work or on the weekends or even around lunchtime! I stopped by on my way home on a Monday at 2pm. There were thankfully only 2 people ahead of me in line. I noticed that they don't have a sign to indicate what kind of mochinuts they have for the day, but they do post them on social media. It isn't until you get to the front of the line that you see the display right by the cash register. A friendly worker took my order. I chose 1. Ube Snow (ube with coconut flakes) 2. Dirty Matcha (I think this was a mix of matcha powder topped with dark cocoa powder) and 3. Nutella Almond. I also got a half and half chungchun hotdog on a stick. Devoured the hotdog because it was past my lunchtime and enjoyed the gooeyness of the mozzarella half--I don't know how they do it but it was gooey AND not hellishly hot. The temperature was perfect. I also like that they don't overdo it on the sugar coating like other places seem to do. Got home and split each mochinut to share so other family could try. I loved the flavor of each one but the Nutella and Ube Snow were tied for number one. I'm not a fan of matcha unless it's in a drink or an ice cream, so the powder (along with the cocoa powder) wasn't my fav, but it was still tasty. I've been trying to replicate the recipe for mochinuts at home but so far haven't had much luck. The mouthfeel of these donuts is so satisfying. One recommendation I have for the business is that they could post the flavors closer to the beginning of the line so you know what you want to order in advance. Also, I wish they had a dedicated line and mor organization for order pick ups. It gets so busy that no matter what, there is no advantage to ordering ahead of time because you have to wait in line to pick up. Lastly, I didn't get bubble tea this time but the Happy Lemon portion of the business serves it (it's not separate from Mochinut--same cash register). Their bubble tea is good but I have other favorite spots for bubble tea."

The Woodshed Espresso

★★★★★ 4.6 (43) • $

"We were out enjoying drive on a sunny February afternoon. We had an amazing lunch earlier on our drive and thought a coffee would be good. We stopped at the Woodshed. We were greeted warmly and placed our orders. A latte and Dirty ChaiYUM. We both enjoyed our drinks. Totally forgot to take pics but they were smooth, flavorful and satisfying"

Mochinut - Southcenter

★★★★☆ 3.6 (124)

"Located in the south center food court. They have a self ordering kiosk which moves fast. Got the Korean hot dog - half and half with sugar and mustard. Pretty good!"

Matt's Famous Chili Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (249) • $

"Really friendly service, and of course you have to try the chili dog here. It's got almost a cafeteria style to it that brings back nostalgia, but at a high quality twist. I ended up getting the chili + slaw - both chili and slaw have that cafeteria quality, where the chili is more a stew of ground meat with a mild amount of spice, and the slaw is your standard fare. The dog itself had a perfect bite and natural casing, although the size could be bigger. Steamed buns, also reminded me of old school style. To top it off, I also got a chocolate shake which was deliciously malty."

Build A Brat

Shorty's

★★★★☆ 3.9 (676)

"In the 7.5 years since I left my last review, things have changed at Shorty's. First of all, they moved. Just a block away, but to a slightly more spacious and less weirdly laid out venue. Second of all, pinball prices dropped. They run about 75 cents a game, with some machines offering quantity discounts (e.g., 5 games for the price of 4). Third, the food and drink are much better, with a variety of dogs being the staple, any of which can be had with veggie dogs. My girlfriend preferred the Chicago Style; I'm partial to the Spicy Pepper. Small selection of draft beers, but an ample supply of mixed drinks, many much cheaper than surrounding venues. I've been to Shorty's more times this year than I have in the past decade. Sure it's a dive bar still, but it's a comfier hang than before, with better food and cheaper pinball."

The Salty Shack

★★★★☆ 4 (46)

"I've gotten delivery once and take out once. The photos are from my delivery experience. I got a chili cheese dog, jalapeño poppers, and chicken tender basket. Oh, and a vodka lemonade - you can get cocktails delivered via DoorDash! Everything was super good, especially the chili cheese dog. They were really generous with the chili (a full cup of it) and it was delicious. The lemonade is made from scratch and I really enjoyed that, as well - not too sweet.When we did takeout, we each got a sandwich, and we also got a Chicago dog, "chum bucket" w/ tots, and a handful of cocktails. I'd had kind of a bad week and was basically like, I don't even care, let's just get whatever we want even if it's an insane amount of stuff, haha. They do single serving craft cocktails for takeout in little cans, which is pretty cool. And they were SO GOOD (all with very clever nautical-themed names). I think our favorite was the "No Ship Sherlock" seasonal Moscow mule. The Chicago dog was amazing - based on this and my previous chili cheese dog, I can say without hesitation that their hotdogs are 100% 10/10. The "chum bucket" tots were also really good, and again came with a very generous full cup of chili. I hate to say it because everything else was so good, but the sandwiches were pretty disappointing for the price, we both thought. I had a tuna sandwich and my bf had a veggie sandwich. They used fresh, quality ingredients, but both sandwiches were kind of bland, and a lot smaller than we were expecting for $14 apiece. That's the only reason I dropped a star, but aside from that, they are 5 star all the way.So, we would not revisit the sandwiches, but hotdogs and cocktails HELL YES YES YES!! Anything involving the chili is also highly recommended. And although I didn't really go into detail about it, chicken tenders were good, too (there were more in there than what the photo shows) - crispy and well-seasoned, and more than what I was expecting."

Secret Sausage

"My "Go-To" Day Dog!SITREPMost of the time when I satisfy my "Seattle Dog" cravings, I'm up on Capitol Hill, clubbing at The Mercury or Neighbors, and grabbing something at 1am, 2am or later in the morning.What is wonderful about Secret Sausage is that they are available during DAYLIGHT HOURS (no shit!) and will satisfy that Seattle Dog craving for lunch!THE SETUPHelps to check their schedule to know where they are at:* Mostly on Weekends* Usually During the Lunch Hour or thereabouts* Often at Eagle Leather Anniversary* Will stake out Seahawk games, and cater other special events.THE MENU= Maybe I'm a traditionalist, or I just like to go for their "signature item", but I'm a BIG fan of their, yes, you guessed it: THE SECRET SAUSAGE - a HOT LINK on a bolillo roll with tasty very own cream cheese. And for $5, I couldn't ask for a better dog experience!= But for the vegetarians amongst us, there is the MEATLESS SECRET - a Field Roast Mexican Chipotle Vege-Sausage on bolillo roll with or without cream cheese (depending on whether you do dairy or not).They also do some basic polish sausages, may add their tangy slaw, and other condiments as your preference indicates. Sodas, Teas, Chips and other munchies available AS available in stock.THE LOWDOWNDam Great Dog Stand!"

Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog

★★★★★ 4.5 (599) • $

"If you're a hot dog or corndog fan and are looking to try something a little unique, Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog in Seattle is where it's at! Located in the International District, this restaurant offers a unique Korean-style hot dog experience that has been gaining popularity in the US over the last few years.Korean-style hot dogs are different from the traditional American hot dog in that they are coated in rice flour batter, which gives them a crispy texture when fried. The hot dogs are then topped with a variety of delicious and creative toppings, such as cheese, potato, and even squid ink.There are so many options to choose from at Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog, try not to be intimidated or overwelmed. Two popular menu items include the Classic Rice Dog and the Squid Ink Rice Dog. The Classic Rice Dog is a perfect starting point for those new to Korean-style hot dogs. It features a crispy hot dog coated in rice flour batter and topped with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Easy peasy! The Squid Ink Rice Dog, on the other hand, is for the more adventurous diner. This hot dog is coated in a black squid ink batter and topped with mozzarella cheese, diced potatoes, and seaweed flakes... a real winner if you ask me!Do me a favor and just throw fear and intimidation out the window when visiting Chung Chun. It can be fun to try new things, and you never know what you might end up loving. I mean, how bad can it be? It's just a hot dog!"

Pug Dogs

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Pop up gourmet hotdog stand at the corner of SR 2 and 3rd Street in Sultan. In the parking lot of the Curtson Distillery's production location.These are great hotdogs. Kind of a reminder of how the Seattle dog got created back in the day. Gourmet all the way, and absolutely delicious.They are pricier than other hotdogs, but they're also far better. Support this small business that's trying to provide great food and good service.Hours vary, so check the Pug Dogs Facebook page for current hours and days."

Absolut Hot Dog

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"Wow! We are visiting Seattle and have been searching for a good "Seattle style" hot dog and today the universe led us to Absolut Hot Dog in Pioneer Square! This is the best hot dog stand in Seattle! Delicious veggie options and perfectly grilled, delicious meat sausages. Huge portions and awesome prices! Ah- I want another one right now actually!"

Herfy’s Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (65) • $$

"My in laws live out in graham so we usually do a weekly drive down from Bellevue past Orting. We love to support local businesses in the pierce county area and decided to revisit Herfy's during phase 2. A lovely girl took my order (masks on). She informed me that they have run out of crinkle fries due to supply shortage. I ordered the fish and chips combo, a bacon burger and a Oreo milkshake. Total was around $35. She took my name and said she would bring it out to our car.We waited over 20+ minutes for our food. The serving size for fish and chips was great- couldn't even finish it. Burger has always been lack luster. The milkshakes are the best as is the fry sauce. Overall, I think we'd only eat here in a pinch but would purchase a milkshake in a heartbeat!"

The Frankfurter

★★★★☆ 3.8 (126)

"This location was a random spot we were passing by while exploring the Piers in Seattle! There was only one worker who was the chef and cashier; it was impressive how he was able to handle the stand by himself and hustling through orders! He was super friendly and knowledgeable about the city, since I told him we're here to visit ! The food was alright! The dogs got really cold quickly, but it was still delicious. I highly recommend getting their strawberry lemonade! It was super refreshing and tasty!"

Radnor's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (37)

"Open til 1AM on Friday and Saturday! Nice to have somewhere to go other than McDonald's or Dicks. The smash burger was exactly what it was supposed to be (add carmelized onion!). Don't usually like fries but decided to try theirs and they were excellent with Rad sauce for dipping. Would definitely get there fries again!Met and exceeded my expectations - definitely will be back. And the prices are great."

Bubba Flame Broiled Burger

★★★★★ 4.5 (67)

"Sometimes we go out of our way to drive the extra miles and minutes south just to get us a Bubba Burger. Something about them. The flame broiling? I'd say so. They're not fancy, crazy, over-the-top modern catastrophes. Just simple flavorful burgers with homemade chips. And the folks are always nice. Super popular."

Hot Dog Joes

★★★★★ 4.5 (30)

"SEATTLE DOGS! How did I not know about this before!? Cream Cheese in hot dogs is genius! It's even better with grilled onions topped on it. The bun was toasted, the sausage link had juicy flavor. This thins was delicious! Awesome food to eat after a night of drinking at the club. I'm definitely going to be making these back home for my friends. Seattle Dogs you rock!"

The Hot Dog Stand by Chop Suey

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"My boyfriend had the drunchies after going to Chop Suey.... the location of this stand was so convenient! He ordered the hot link, and oh my gosh, it was phenomenal! I wish I had ordered one for myself as well. It was spicy and hit the spot. SO GOOD. It was definitely better than the LA hot dog vendors that post themselves outside of Staples Center after Lakers games lol"

Dave's Dirty Dogs

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Postmates will deliver your street meat and Dirty Dogs did not disappoint! We tried the spicy dog, beef dog, and polish dog. All were perfectly cooked, but I'd say the spicy dog was the favorite and polish dog was the least favorite. We ordered different toppings on each and all were done correctly, with just the right amount. Delivery was fast and the dogs were packaged well. Will definitely order again next time the craving strikes."

"So I am usually not a big hot dog fan but I haven't had a good dog in months and I was hungry coming out of the hardware store so figure let's get a hotdog after my trip to Lowe's.Fast forward many bites the seasoning is crispy good the bun has been grilled there's plenty of condiments available and it was maybe four minutes and my dog was donezFreaking delicious dog oversized to the barn so it sticks out in the classic city method whatever it is but I'm definitely getting one of these again.I think the total cost is like $5.50 and these are easily foot-long dogs, Service was quick friendly and the end result is very delicious"

"Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite vegetarian item---FIELD ROAST! Oh M Gee---that sage apple goodness you prepared me Seattle Style gave me LIFE!

Monster Dogs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (56)

"Homie --You're drunk AF and need a carby, meaty sustenance after a night of shaking your ass and mixed drinks. So go here.Order their Spicy Beef Dog, Seattle style (aka w/ cream cheese). They butterfly the wiener, grill both sides, and then nestle it in between a beautifully soft bun.For toppings, I asked for horseradish and mustard. Fantastic, soul-satisfying stuff. Other things to know:- Find it outside of Neomos.- Don't take too longer to order.- A dog will set you back something born of $6.- They accept credit cards. You're welcome."
