Secret Sausage

VERY TASTY. Two friendly guys ran the small trailer for outdoor dispensing. Very reasonable pricing, well prepared and presented on fresh rolls. This is a very simple limited menu; I recall only 3 or 4 items, all dogs of various forms. Would gladly enjoy their food again.One suggestions which kept this from a 5 Star...offering kraut and onions would be a big add and make this a 5 Star [for what they offer].

Secret Sausage is sold at Thunderbird Tavern in Ballard. They make some of the best dogs in town! Stop by for a bite, they lay on the cream cheese onto the deliciously spicy hot link. The firlander sauce is nice and spicy, yet slightly acidic to balance it all together. One of the best dogs in the area!

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!

Delicious! I had the big polish with cream cheese. The bun was fluffy and had a nice toasted exterior and the sausage was juicy and has a little bit of spice to it. It's pretty filling for lunch. I would definitely come back to try out other stuff on the menu.

One fellow yelper wrote "This isn't your standard hot dog stand", and that pretty much sums it up! I recently attended a private party that was catered by Secret Sausage. When I first rolled up, I was like oh they have a hot dog stand vendor.Well after the first sausage dog my mind was blown. The bread roll isn't your normal off the shelf, they cut open each. Cream cheese was in the house which is always welcome. Then he topped it with some homemade vinegar based coleslaw was dang tasty. However the pièce de résistance was the homemade green pepper sauce. Oh my lawd, total package deal!I just might have to start foodie stalking these guys!

I was really impressed with the Secret Sausage dog. It's a hotlink with cream cheese, I got the slaw tossed on too. The bun was warmed up, but I think more critically, the bun wasn't cut all the way to the end. This means the cream cheese, mustard, and slaw didn't come rolling out the back of the bun. *Mind Blown* I never thought of that. The slaw was really good, it is pickled. It's a great flavor that wasn't sour kraut but surprisingly good. I'll definitely be stopping by when I see them around again!

I was pleasantly surprised to see this stand outside my office today. Most of the food trucks we get will leave me standing in line for 20 minutes, but these guys served me immediately. I suppose that's what you expect from a hot dog stand, but it was still nice.Anyway, the sausage was plump and juicy; cream cheese added to hot dogs is a fantastic idea, and the pepper sauce was just hot enough. I thought the price was pretty good compared to food stands, but not so cheap as to being a bargain.

It's no secret- these guys have THE BEST hotdogs in Seattle! Surely Secret Sausage is the epitome of a sensual symphony of savory delight- If ever there was one in the hotdog world! Several different options with hotdogs and polish sausage- my absolute favorites are the Seattle Dog and the Midnight Sophie. Whichever you choose- don't forget to ask for some of their homemade slaw to top that beautiful dog! I first found Secret Sausage outside the Owl and Thistle in Pioneer Square. Then outside the Clink after a game. It was an elusive Seattle street food treat- and in a lot of ways still is. They've expanded in recent years so sometimes you can find them at Microsoft campuses on occasion too. But I'll let you in on a little secret... they have a deal with the Thunderbird Tavern in Ballard. So if you're craving a Seattle Dog on a random Tuesday at 8:30pm for example... high tail it to the Thunderbird and get you one! Especially on a warm Summer evening: a Seattle dog with extra slaw, a glass of your favorite cold drink and a spot on the back patio - doesn't that sound so good right now?! Another favorite with Secret Sausage is The Firlander Sauce. While I personally am not a big fan of hot sauce, this spicy condiment has been a staple in our family for several years now. I've been told it makes a good gourmet hotdog over-the-top good! Ha! So if you're a hot sauce fan- it's a must try. Locally owned small business with a commitment to quality. Every hotdog I've ever had from them (ahem, and there have been a few over the years,) has been consistently good. Seriously, the best!

The hot dogs tasted fine, but nothing particularly special. Their "own" cream cheese is just Philadelphia cream cheese. The bun on the Secret Dog was fine - cold and chewy. Maybe I'm not a slawdog afficionado but the soggy bun which tasted like it was floating in water and the decent frank wasn't anything special. If these are the "best" hot dogs in Seattle there's a lot of room for improvement out here.

This guy is awesome! Super nice, very accommodating serving classic dogs! He worked our fundraiser serving all ages and the public. Highly recommend it and love their spicy special sauce. Yummy!
