Brucedog

After watching the below video on the local news, I enjoyed the story and wanted to give Brucedog a try. One of the things I appreciate about Tucson is how sprawling the city is. Brucedog is located in a location of Tucson I have never been at before. Being close to the mountains is scenic. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with a paucity of signage.There were two young women working upon their opening at 1100 who were friendly. The place appeared to be clean. Their offerings are unique and worthy of giving them a try. https://www.kgun9.com/news/community-inspired-journalism/westside-news/the-brucedog-lives-on-at-this-westside-brick-and-mortar-restaurant

The hot dogs were tasty and different.The only thing I would change is the size of the hot dogs because all were the same size even though one was jumbo and the other regular.

Brucedog has been in this location for awhile now. Husband and I decided to give the place a try.There is no sign out front, other than a small sign on the sidewalk, so we weren't sure where it was. Walking in, the place is bright, appears to be clean and lots of seating. They had just opened.The menu is on an electronic billboard that changes too quickly to be able to read everything. We were getting frustrated with it, when a nice young man pointed to some laminated menus on the counter. We decided to get the Polish dog, sans Hummus (on a hot dog?) and fake bacon. I ordered the food and took a bag of Fritos off the clip to add to the lunch. The young woman told me I couldn't have them as they were for kids. Couldn't she just charge me for them? She said no. She told me that I could have any of the other chips. I said "the ones I cannot reach?". They were behind a plastic shield. She said she would get them for me. The nice young man came over and told me what flavors there were. I asked for ice tea for husband and regular water for me. The woman said that they only had bottled water. I asked for a cup for water and she said all they had was tap water. I ended up buying overpriced Fuji water.The food showed up after 10 minutes. The polish dog was delicious. The cold zucchini bits on top were a nice addition. I asked husband what he thought and he said "Meh". I liked the dog but not the hassle to get it.As I've written this, I'm wondering why I'm giving them 3 stars. They've been open long enough to work out the issues. Food is good but the business model needs works.I might go back and get take out. But that's about it.

I used to go to Bruce dog when he had his infamous cart! This brought back so many tasty memories. They have a larger menu now and different spice levels for the chili. The hot dogs were delicious. We got tater tots, but they weren't that crispy and felt like they were frozen rather than fresh. The service is a little slow and they forgot one of our hot dogs and it was a to go order so we didn't notice until it was too late. They have lots of seating which is nice!

We used to go to Bruce's original cart (aka his van in the Brake Masters parking lot) late at night back in college 8-10 years ago. Going to Bruce's was an experience we had about once a week, and one of the things I always missed most about Tucson. There's no other dog like a Bruce dog. All my friends and I were so sad when he closed down, and were so happy when he opened up again. Even tho he's passed, his legacy lives on. The dog is just as good as it always was, and the chili is just as mouthwatering. I'm so grateful my favorite hot dog is back. We will continue making special trips to Tucson just for Brucedog.

10/10 this place is amazing the signature Brucedog is so delicious definitely a new combo of toppings for a hot dog for me but it's amazingly delicious I got the medium spicy version and it had a nice slight kick very refreshing and satisfying at the same time! The service here is also amazing very relaxed vibes and a cute spot I will definitely come in again!!!

Love the dogs the nachos are spicy but good the beans on the dogs are perfect the ice cream was delicious and the owners were so nice and polite we will be back!

The best chili dogs ever! RIP to Bruce the owner. Got to meet him once and he was such a nice guy. I'm glad they stayed open.

Meh. They're hot dogs - nothing to get excited about, and it's really difficult to screw up a Vienna sausage on a roll. Oh, and they are absurdly expensive. I went in the place at Tucson Estates and ordered 2 hot dogs with mustard relish and chopped onions to go. Simple. It cost $13 and change. Never again. I could have gotten a lunch of dynamite fried chicken and a doughnut next door, or a nice chinese lunch another door down, or a large mexican lunch further down for that price or less. But 13+ bucks for two mediocre ordinary hot dogs?The place looked clean (it was all brand new), and the service friendly, maybe overly so.

They are okay. The buns are plain and are too generic.Service was slow. I do like the fact they use Vienna beef hot dogs. They are tops. It is too bad that Wild Dogs in Benson had an arson fire a few years back. They were (IMHO) the best hot dog in the state. Rated one of the best in the United States.
