I'll drag my drunk butt over to neighbors from across town at 3 in the morning for their dogs!
OMG!
Sometimes on the weekends my cravings are so bad, my boyfriend and I will stay up in bed and talk about unleashing our inner fat kid and getting one.
We always stop ourselves though, but that just shows you how addicting and delicious they are.
Cream cheese+good quality dog+generous toppings+ the company of belligerent people= a good time
YUMMY. I was drunk when I had the Swiss Cheese Hot dog but it was SPLENDID. I remember seeing the huuuuge spread of cream cheese on my hot dog and I was like 'oh my god, my stomach is going to hate me tomorrow morning' and then I took a bite... and then ahhhhhhh pure joy!!!
They are seriously generous with their cream cheese and the hot dog was SO juicy and well... that's all I can really remember.
I do not condone mixing alcohol and driving a motor vehicle.
(Hot dogs are still good though.)
SIMPLY THE BEST HOT DOG STAND/CART/TRUCK IN SEATTLE!!

Swear to God, Allah, Yahweh, Buddah, Whoever... these are the BEST hot dogs in the world (quite possibly the universe). I first stumbled upon this holy hot dog stand a few years back, when I was coming home from the gym at 2 in the morning, wanting instant food, and the Subway across the street was closed. After first tasting the precious meat and cream cheese combo these genius Mexicans offered me, I was hooked. Every workout after was completed with a few thousand calories to get me back to where I started. Nowadays, I've given up on the gym, but I still go out of the way for this particular street meat. Muy delicioso!!!
Seriously the best hot dog I have ever had. I totally could feel myself getting fatter as I ate it but you know what... I was ok with that for one night...
I chose to have the New York Steak Dog with Mozzarella Cheese and Onions! OH MY GOD!
It was soooooo good and I was just in town for 2 nights and the Las Vegas Hot Dog Stand looking truck sold me.
The guy was hilarious and was a good pitchman and for 3 MASSIVE hot dogs i think we paid $12? For me it was well worth it. I couldnt even finish mine so it was lunch the next day.
Well worth it. Go get yours!
Best Hot Dog I've ever had. A good end to a weird night spent at strangers with the wife. Who would have thought that cream cheese on a hot dog would be tasty?
I love that they use flat screens for the menu. I bet the people that own this cart make a killing. I'm wondering if it ever travels or if it just stays right there in front of Strangers?
A must try after a few drinks if you pass by it.

If you are craving your seattle hot dog vendors, and you are
1. not drunk
2. not in downtown seattle
3. at fred meyers
oh yes my seattle friends, there is one in greenwood avenue's fred meyer. The very fred meyer's that does the torch light parade's when I was a child, the very fred meyers that probably was the first to exist in seattle, washington and the very fred meyer's that we have grown to love in our neighborhood. Well I will stop reminiscing now, and tell you how lovely it was to find the bare essentials I needed for the july fourth weekend and find that I could get my coffee, and hot dog too!!!
Not only was the hot dog tasty with all the fixing's of cream cheese, and condiments. THE GUY ACTUALLY DOES IT FOR YOU, AND HE WAS SO DARN NICE!! it was great, I got the hot link with cream cheese, ketchup and brown mustard! I know boring, but damn good!!! So next time you're ever in the greenwood area, and craving that nice aroma of that unhealthy dog... DO IT, JUST DO IT!! GET A HOT DOG TO GO :)
My brother, cousin and I came here one night after drinking at the Garage up Broadway. As far as I can remember, the hot dogs were superb. Mouth watering toppings and combinations that were so fitting that deciding on one is, and was, difficult. These guys are legit. They obviously know their craft and their set up is by far superior to any street food truck, stand or cart I've seen. They have an LCD screen menu, that is quality.
The hot dogs do not disappoint, they are hearty and delicious. They are exactly how I like them, full with tasty condiments. Though, I should have taken the warning, "careful it's hot", when I got mine because I burned my tongue and wasn't completely able to appreciate the taste. I suggest you learn from me and listen.
On top of everything, these guys were kind, engaging and friendly. So down with this place. The line eventually gets long but that's what happens when drunkards start oohing and aahing while inhaling on these delicious dogs in the middle of the sidewalk.
For what it is, this place easily deserves 5 stars.
Drunk O meter dogs........
Here is how to tell how drunk you are.
Order the Steak and Cream Cheese hot dog.
If it tastes like you are kissing Jesus, You should call the police and have them throw you in rehab right away.
If it tastes like a rats rectum; well then, its three days later, you are sobar and you are eating one of these nasty sandwich dogs, because you remember them tasting so good, last friday night, after drinking half the booze in the city.
I dont think the cart should go away. I may still get a hot dog or two there in the future but only to test how drunk I am.
Okay, I don't eat meat. Even for the couple years where I did, I didn't like hot dogs. Who knows what is going on in that hot dog stand, but their vegi-dogs are INCREDIBLE. I walk up and they start my order without even exchanging a word. Vegi-dog, mozzerella and bbq sauce. That's all you need, seriously.
I brought one for my co-worker, and she wouldn't believe me that I didn't trick her with a real hot dog. It took about 4 people to convince her that it was truly vegetarian.
These guys are awesome. They're super friendly, amazingly patient and make the BEST hot dogs (meatless, at least) that I could ever imagine. I think it's pretty obvious that I might have a problem when they wave to me passing on the street, though. Whoops.
Hot dogs and cream cheese, who would've guessed that man could figure out an even more effective/delicious way to die of high cholesterol.
Trust me, this isn't one of those drunk-taste-bud inspired raves (I hate those). This cardiac unfriendly concoction is the real McCoy.
Besides, how many funny jokes can you and your friends derive from talking about hot dogs full of cream cheese? The entertainment value alone is well worth the two buck price.
I am not the clubbing/partying type so if you catch me in Capitol Hill late at night, it's because of these hot dogs.
The cream cheese and jalepenos on the hot dog.... *drooool* perfect when it's chilly and raining lightly. Makes you so warm inside = ) !
I am so glad somebody has reminded me where this place is! One night, while drinking *heavily* at Barca, I decided to walk a friend home. I am wondering the streets trying to find her place and I stumble upon this hot dog place. Since it's nearly 2 AM and I know there is no food in my apt, I decide a hot dog is the best idea ever. I may have started drinking early in the night, but I remember being thrown off by the offering of cream cheese on my dog. I refuse that but accept several other toppings - onions and ketchup mostly. Now I end up sitting down outside of a QFC while my friend went in for fried chicken - instead of the most delicious hot dog ever - and I sat down on the stairs...
Now this is where the fun begins. I bite into my hot dog and in a moment of a drunken bliss I forget that any other food on earth exists. I'm sure part of this is due to alcohol consumption, but I've eaten a lot of hot dogs in my day, and OMG this was fabulous. I believe the word I used to describe my hot dog eating experience for the next day or two was "orgasmic."
I'm so happy to have found a hot dog stand review here on yelp because many a times I've wandered Cap Hill drunk looking for the stand but not been able to find it. However, now it's pinpointed and without a doubt I will drunkenly be here again soon!
I lust for this hot dog-mobile even when it is not 2am on Friday. Also, I have had one of these while not drunk, and they are still good! I get the NY dog every time, and it is phenomenal every time! They whip it up quick, and everything tastes pretty good considering they are serving it out of some weird van kitchen. I think they are like 4 bucks a dog, but the satisfaction these bring me make it easy to give them a $5 and tell them to keep the change.
Warning: you could be setting yourself up for quite a mess if walk eating while drunk
Bad Bad!!!!! Okay so usually I am tanked when I eat street food and my palate isn't exactly discerning, but coming out of neighbors at 4 am you know what a good sausage in your mouth is supposed to taste like. I didn't know kerosene was a topping at this hot dog stand but the one I got was doused in it. I took two bites, the second one was because I was so shocked by the first bite that I had to have another to prove to myself I was tasting gas. Thank God a friendly homeless man was walking by begging for money. I feel that giving the poor food is the way to go, even if it might light their beard on fire, gotta look clean shaved for that interview on Monday. Worth the 2 block walk up to the stand by the comet, no gas dogs there.
2 am, Capitol hill, July 3rd. I walk a half a mile in my red high heel shoes for one of these babies. I stand in a 20 minute line to wait. I make some friends in line, and take we some pictures while waiting. I fight off some hungry dudes that try to cut in line, and then distract me by asking me to take my picture with them. I wait a little longer. Finally I get my Veggie dog that i overload with mass amounts of cream cheese, onions, relish, mustard, and yes ketchup. Was it worth it? Hell yeah.
I admit, I have a bit of an obsession. I used to feel guilty about it, but alleviated that when I started eating the figure friendly veggie dogs. ha.
Hahaha, what the hell? This is the #4 best restaurant according to yelp? AWESOME.
Anyway, I've gotten these a few times. I know I really like them when I get them, and I know I really like to tell everyone around me how good it is when I get one. Unfortunately, sober, I too, have no idea what they taste like... Nor do I consider going there if I don't have a few rounds of drinks in me. The other day I woke up with ketchup all over me, eventually remembering I got a hot dog from these dudes. It was all over my jeans and shoes, and in my jacket pockets. Whoever started this shing-ding is a freakin' genius and must now be a billionaire.
The best/worst thing I have ever put in my mouth...
Cheap, satisfying, sinful, a secret shame/pleasure...
I always regret it in the morning...
Yet find myself back in the same position many, many nights.
Wait, what are we talking about again?
jk.
I want to pretend that these hot dog stands are gross and unhealthy and a waste of money and I would never ever patronize them because I'm classy and above it... but please.. we all know the truth... today I was fantasizing about a cream cheese dog fo' breakfast. I'm so ashamed!!!!!!!
Wow! I had read about this place, and wanted to try it out for a while, but it's not always there. If it's a busy night at the clubs they will be there though.
This is the stand that is basically a covered pickup truck with black lights. This is not those umbrella carts. Those guys are alright, but they can't compete with this truck stand.
I don't club, and I don't drink, so you can be sure that my review isn't swayed by fond drunk memories, but this is THE best place for a hot dog in Seattle. Each of the 8 or so styles of hot dogs they offer features an entire sandwich worth of toppings ON TOP OF the hot dog. New York style is a cheesesteak on top of a hot dog in a bun, for example. I got the Louisiana style which is chorizo and capicola with mozzarella, cream cheese, jalapenos, and onions. I don't know why it's called Louisiana style, but I know it was heaven on bread.
And here's the best part: it's cheaper than any of the other hot dog stands out in Capitol Hill. Cheaper and better? Sounds like a deal to me.
These guys are fast, friendly and have combinations that you don't normally see on a street cart. They obviously take pride in what they are doing, because they not only exceed expectations with service and product, but they also create an atmosphere....on the street! They have black light, strobe lights, and music right there in the cart. I have nothing bad to say besides the occasional douchebag that is in front of, or behind me in line.
I must say that I also had a late night encounter with this hot dog stand and must say it's as unique as everyone says. The menu is lit up and looks somewhat digital after a long night. :) The combinations are unique and all make your mouth drool. I had one with sauerkraut, Texas brisket 'chili', and jalapenos... yum! Very friendly guys running the cart too. It's also a great way to chat it up with others on the street in line for the dogs as well.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??
you people on yelp will review any goddamn thing, won't you?
i typed in "hot dog stand" as a joke, but fuckinaye. seriously?
anyway, this place is ridiculous. there was more than one occasion where i actually contemplated going here while sober.
while SOBER.
WHILE SOBER. let that sink in. while most hog dog stands are content to take $6-7 out of your plastered, liquor-soaked hands in exchange for a pithy excuse of manufactured meat with grilled onions, ketchup, mustard, and cream cheese [if you're lucky], these dudes down by neighbors will rock your goddamn WORLD.
they put fucking chorizo, some sort of weird beef, and i think even chicken on top of your fucking hot dog. for about $5-6. are you kidding me? i can never remember the menu for the life of me, due to binge drinking on the weekends, but i'm pretty sure its the same thing with a variation of meat piled on top.
the two guys that work the stand are pretty boss, too. they're all smiles and always ask "what can i get for you tonight, my friend?". none of that, "you're too drunk and i'm going to be condescending to you because you have a drinking problem, which probably stems from your various girl problems" bullshit.
yeah. i still can't believe i tried going there sober, though.
In front on Neighbors? Really? I always look for this stand in front on the Comet Tavern. Now I know where it is when it's NOT in front of the Comet Tavern! YAY!
This is the best part of being drunk on Pike street at 2am. It is not a complete night if I don't have a hotdog with cream cheese and a mound of caramelized onions. It is a truly poetic experience.
These 5 stars mean this cart is indeed the real deal. While I was by no means drunk, I caught all kinds of drama and intoxication during the 25 min. wait for these bad boys. I was highly impressed by the quality of their buns, too.
No joke. Seriously.
A great finish to your evening on Broadway--bomb loaded hot dogs for less than $5 (give 'em a nice tip)! Good quick food, nice guys, and you can get rid of those extra dollars floating in your pockets from the club while regaining the calories your lost from your active night. Not something to eat every time you're around the area, but try it at least once (even if you have a late night craving and need to drive there)!
The only way to go at this spot is ask for a hotdog Spicy! Thats it...nothing else...they know what you want and will give you an amazing hotdog with cream cheese, and a few different kinds of salsa...it is an amazing combination of all kinds of goodness.
Now all I am looking for is the LA bacondog, which is cardiac arrest in a bun, but worth every dripping drenching calorie.
For now, this is my spot after my 80's night craziness at Neighbours.
Not going to lie, hot dog stands after club nights are non existent in San Jose. Seattle has filled this void for me.
You have to make sure you get out of the club early if you're trying to get some hot dogs, or else the line will get filled up. The New York is a fave, but the rest of the dogs are bomb as well. If I find myself around the area at night, the hot dog stand gets hit up quick.
This place rocks! I plan my bi-monthly outings to where I end my night eating a New York (Hot Dog topped with philly cheesesteak, mozzarella...) or Louisiana (Hot Dog topped with cream cheese, jalapenos, chopped up chorizos, grilled onions...) hot dog. The hotdogs come piping hot and overloaded with amazing combinations of toppings you won't find at other hot dog carts.
The only downside is that they are only open on the weekends starting at around 11:30pm. I guess that might also be a good thing cause my cholesterol will be through the roof if they were opened everyday! I bet they'd make even more money if they had a keg on the side and sold hot dog and beer combos!
This place is amazing. Stumble out of a bar into the dark night, with your friends in tow, and suddenly you see a beacon of light down the street...you walk closer and realize this glowing light is accompanied by the mouthwatering scent of...HOT DOGS!!
Yum! These guys sure know what they're doing. Cash payments, quick service, and can't beat the flair they've got ready to dress up your hot dog just off the grill; cream cheese for your toasted bun, grilled onions, and all sorts of condiments ready to go. Convenient and delicious, and no driving necessary.
This review is in honor of my two friends (you know who you are!)
Honestly, I've frequented a fair share of hot dogs stands around the general Seattle area. Yes, they were all post-drinking experiences but it's still a valid review since most of these hot dogs are consumed after a night out. This is one of the best stands though... just the varieties (like the pico de gallo!). Plus, they really do slather a good hunk of that cream cheese so it's melting off of the dog while you eat it. It's so disgustingly good.
where else can you get a delicious hot dog w/ cream cheese, get into fights with trannies and make new BFF's with the gay boys?
these aren't any hot dogs, my friend. they're SAUSAGES. lol.
i love big meat. bwahahaha
i think about these hot dogs all the time. NYC doesn't come close! i don't know why one of the combos are called New York Style--- when there's no where in NY that has cream cheese on their dogs. it's a travesty, i tell you!
i want to marry it. the Hot Dog Stand, i mean.
What the hell. It's hot dogs. Get off the front page of yelp.
Okay, so I'll admit I was three sheets to the wind, but this was the best damn hot dog I have ever had, and I don't even like hot dogs (being drunk definitely lowered my inhibitions, but this time ignoring my better judgment was worth it).
is this the car/truck with the light up picture windows and neon lights =D near warroom and qfc?
..because if so, 4 stars! yum yum yum!
i can't remember what i had, the california maybe? but it was delicious with hot dog and cream cheese and a lot of random flavors! AND they don't rip you off like belltown does :D
yum!
the best god d*** wiener on capital hill! nothings better then exiting a bar like neighbors and finding a big hot dog covered in onions and ketchup. Yes these are the nights I go home alone!
BEST HOT DOGS EVAR!!!! Perfect for when you're drunk after a good night clubbing. I recommend the California dog, the New York dog, and the Hawaiian dog.
CAN I SAY 6 STARS. It could have been the 7 red bull and vodkas, but this was the BOMB. oh my G! Its so awesome. One of my best meals of the city. I had a dog with all the works...yummy.....bring some cash...you only need one...lots to eat. Even my gal liked it...hey get your own...no sharing :)
Street Meat at its finest
I don't know if it was the booze or my post-dance, middle of the night hunger but my spicy and cream cheese lathered hot dog was delicious.
