Tubby Dog is a very special place in Calgary. I have been dropping in here regularly since it opened in 2005 and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's a must-go every time I come back to visit the city.
Some of the options sound really weird but are actually surprisingly tasty. Take a risk and try the PB&J dog some time! My personal favourite alternative topping would have to be potato chips. I love having that extra crunch on my hot-dog. However, I almost always go with the sumo when I go here. It is a hot-dog (I go with the meatless dog) topped with seaweed, ginger, wasabi, and Japanese mayo. Deeeeelicious!
The last time I went here I was surprised to find out that they now have taco Tuesdays and burger Wednesdays. The veggie tacos are fantastic! They also now take credit cards for payment and offer delivery services. I don't know if I would ever get it delivered. Half the fun of Tubby Dog is the atmosphere, however I'm sure this will be helpful for many other people.
Speaking of the atmosphere? It's awesome. Picture a grungy (in a good way) 50s diner with arcade games lining the walls. What's better to follow your hot-dog than a game of pinball??
