Dog In The Park

Simple straightforward menu. Clean surrounding area. Live music playing from a nearby stand. I deducted one star because the worker did not give his full attention because he was paying attention to his phone. Also, we ordered the Seattle hotdog, which comes with cream cheese but had to search for it in the dog and in my tastebuds. I ended up going back to add condiments. Either way it really was delicious. The wiener had a nice bite to it (it wasn’t a soft wiener like many other hotdogs). The bun was perfectly soft. The temperature of the dog was hot-off-the-grill warm because they grill the dog right when you order it. There were lots of condiments to choose from at no extra cost. At the time we went they had sauerkraut, different kinds of mustard, different varieties of hot sauce, ketchup, and mayonnaise. They also may have had chipotle sauce and sour cream if I remember correctly. There are chairs and small aluminum tables that fit a couple of people at each table located on the left side of the stand. We sat on the one wooden larger table bench nearest to the park grass facing the front of the stand. The one seagull we saw did not disturb us eating. It’s a clean area. You may want to not that we did see one man who looked unkept in appearance but he did not bother us. It’s a safe surrounding area with just a couple of steps away from the space needle. There are also more places to eat in a food court close by (opposite end of the hot dog stand) called Armory (hopefully that’s the correct spelling/name). There are also more stands/stores nearby kind of like a farmers market feel. We didn’t see restroom signs. Ended up going to the Armory Food court to use their restroom.

It was tasty but a bit difficult to eat. The bun started to fall apart after my first bite. Needless to say, it got quite messy. They cut the dog in half, so that makes it even more "hard to handle." But, the flavor was good, and I had to experience this Seattle dog with the cream cheese that everyone was talking about. It was also a nice area to sit and enjoy the sunny day we had.

Delicious, traditional hot dogs. Great service & affordable. By far the best hot dog I've had in years.

I've been to Chicago. Tried Chicago Hot dogs and this spot in Downtown Seattle blows past them in style and grace. The potatoes, cream cheese, cabbage, peppers are everything in a hot dog! Totally worth the visit. No other place in the country like it.

The staff was super friendly and the service was pretty quick! I got the Seattle dog (cream cheese, grilled veggies over a grilled dog). They even toast the bun! They go a little light on the cream cheese as a base line, so if I were to order again I'd add extra. They have a few other kinds of dogs as well that looked really good, so I may have to come back and try the others. A really nice, affordable lunch option if passing by Westlake Center.
