Split Top Dogs

I'm a huge hotdog fan, and always on the lookout for great hotdogs. Split top dogs are located at 68th & north May Ave. Open Monday through Friday from 11:00 to 3:00. They're a New York city style push cart hot dog stand with fantastic tasting hot dogs. I choose the Larry with sauerkraut and deli style mustard. The bun was the absolute best I've ever had. Warm, soft, & did not fall apart. An all round great tasting dog. That being said I didn't give Split top 5 stars because they were simply out of the average Joe, & Jane's price range. With the plain hotdog starting at $5.00 and three of the eight listed dogs were $10.00 each. The rest were $7 to $ 8 bucks each. Don't infer from the four star rating I gave that they aren't superior hotdogs. They were outstanding in every way, but taking the family out for lunch would turn into an expensive outing.

If you're from the East Coast (NYC or Philly, mainly) and miss some of the street food classics, then you are in luck. Heck, even if you've just been to the East Coast-and even if you haven't, SplitTopDogs is here to save you. Luke- the Owner, founder, and chef behind this hot dog cart in Westwood is here to bring us a taste that was near impossible to find in LA a few months agoThe steamed #hotdog that inspired this cart was great. It really was. The homemade chili was also great- Coney Island style! BUT the real star of the show is the Philly CheeseSteak. Luke uses bone-in primerib and ribeye and then shaves it razor thin to get the highest quality meat. Sizzled to perfection and lightly seasoned on his portable griddle. The Amoroso roll is truly a rare find and thing of beauty, but adds an undeniable element to this sandwich that takes it up a whole level. Grilled beside the meat, it's perfectly toasty and soft. The provolone is thrown on top of the meat while it's cooking so the #cheese is melted and you get some in each bite. I opted for no peppers and onions, so Luke recommended his homemade Giardiniera. This added some texture to the sandwich, and some understated heat that really played well versus the cheese- a true differentiator in the cheesesteak game. Made fresh in front of you, able to be eaten right there on the street or taken to go it's the perfect #lunchbreak meal if you go to UCLA or work nearby. But also, travel here just for this

Luke loves his dogs. He also serves an amazing cheese steak made from ribeye. He imports special buns from the east coast. Definitely come here!

As a born and raised Chicagoian, we were raised on Chi Dogs from the street vendors during their hey day. Same goes for the NY dogs from the still prevalent street vendors . Luke, the proprietor of The Splittopdog cart on Lindbrook in Westwood Village has his own spin on these iconic dogs and they are fantastic. Furthermore he has "Dangerdogs" , chili dogs and various specials like meatball parm, cheesesteaks and other daily specials. The man is a perfectionist and everything he sells is exceptional . If you are in or near The Village it be hooves one to give him a try.

best dogs in OKC area, love it when he shows up at scissortail park. You need to follow this guy for a great dog, the wiener is the best one in our city, got that crunch in the skin.

Tried Split Top Dogs out today - if you like hot dogs and you miss them done properly, this does not disappoint. Yes they have pushcart onion sauce, which is impossible to find in LA. Yes, there is celery salt for your Chicago dog. Buns are the best I have ever had, shipped in from the east coast. The guy who runs it loves his food and cares about authenticity. If you are in Westwood take my advice and enjoy your lunch on the sidewalk at Split Top. If you could, you'd thank me.
