Uhhhhhh I have been a lifelong hater of hot dogs. So of course when I requested to go to Happy Dog after Edgewater Live, my hot dog loving sister obliged. I just really needed to finally try a place I've heard so much about! Well, let me list the why's of giving them four stars:
1) Price. So cheap! $6 hot dogs and $3 tator tots or fries with whatever toppings.
2) Location. Hole in the wall places are just my favorite. Sketchier the better.
3) "Meat" variety. They are so vegetarian friendly! I'm a meat eater, but I do appreciate when restaurants care to cater to as many people as possible.
4) Topping variety. When there are so many delicious toppings I always have to take a breather and remind myself that piling on everything could be disastrous.
5) Topping quality. Every single topping was prepared and tasted great. I absolutely loved my marinated crimini mushrooms, "everything bagel" cream cheese, and top secret fry sauce.
However, reasons why I didn't give them five stars:
1) I still don't really like hot dogs.
2) The bartender/server never asked us to sign our receipt. Pretty sure she was drunk as well (based off of additional comments/behaviors/overall confusing conversation). We had to ask them after our meal to dig up the receipt so we could sign it.
3) No live music! But that's my fault, I need to figure out their schedule for music.
