Dog On It Gourmet Hot Dogs

If you’re looking for a truly authentic hotdog place, this is it. Great food.Hard to find a parking spot.Walk up window. Limited outdoor seating.

Positives: Great Quality Dogs and Charming AmbianceAreas For Growth: Other Ingredient Quality, Meal Price, and Brand AwarenessThis place has the makings of a hole in the wall spot I would be proud to show to visitors. Unlike others, I think Dog On It is actually easy enough to find; there is a cheerful, striped awning and a couple of tables with stools. There is no inside beyond the kitchen.A two for one meal deal on Groupon $11 instead of $23) brought us here for a mid-week lunch. We ordered ahead and were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrived to pick up at the 18 minute mark and our meals were ready for us. The only drinks available were a bottle of water, Coke, and Diet Coke. A meal is a drink, fries, and the hotdog. Oddly, I think the hot dogs are worth their price, but the combos are really not a deal. I would buy my drink elsewhere.I ordered the Mac Dog and my partner ordered the Philly Dog. The Macaroni and Cheese on the Mac Dog was tasty and they allowed me to substitute the Bacon I'm just not a fan) for Grilled Onions. We both loved the hotdogs and thought they were incredible quality for what is essentially street food. Our biggest issue was the buns. They were smaller than the actual fixings really required and their spongy consistency did not really hold up to the eating process. They were too soft and weak. These are the same hot dog buns you would buy on a trip to Walmart.The fries had great seasonings/salt, but something about them makes that seasoning just fall off. They have the potential to be great if that is fixed. Overall would return and love the character it brings to The Grove neighborhood.

Fresh and flavorful. The skin on the dog made a popping sound when bitten. As it should be!

The fires were hard and fried to many times. The hot dog had ok flavor but the fritos were moist. The cheese and chili reminded me of canned cooking.

They just do whatever, open whenever, and make whatever, regardless of what you order. It’s always blamed on “management” but I’ve only ever seen the same two people working over the last year. If you don’t care and just want some after bar food, it’s good enough, but they couldn’t care less, and you’re really better off just going home and slamming a piece of bread. It will taste the same as whatever they think they’re making.
