Nothing brings back childhood memories like hotdogs n tater tots. My husband has been bringing up happy dog to me for over a year now after he had it for the first time. As an adult I've somewhat turned my back on hot dogs, just because I'm still not certain what kind of meat they actually are, regardless. I recently was told they offer vegan hot dogs, and many have told me of their incredible tots. Finally while in the neighborhood I said we can grab lunch at happy dog. As a first timer I played it safe to really just focus on the vegan dog and tots. First of all the vegan dog is incredible and my 7 year old loved her original hot dog! The tots are perfection. Perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside. After our first visit as a family we returned a couple weeks later to dabble a little more.
My daughter this round tried the burger with cheese and ketchup, as a 7 year old palette is very limited. She loved it. I had the vegan dog with onion, pico de gallo, and the chipotle ketchup. It was magnificent!! The hubs had loaded his dog with more than I can even list.
Basically the long and short of it is if you don't love what your eating you can blame yourself since you hand select all your toppings on the dogs and as many sauces as you want for the tots. Definitely a fun and unique spot. Not to mention a pretty expansive beer menu. We will absolutely be coming back to try new concoctions!
