I would give Happy Dog 5 stars if the place was spruced up a bit. I love their food and variety, but the inside just doesn't do it for me. There isn't enough seating when it is super packed and I think they would do a heck of a lot better with it in a bigger space. I was offered to get seated quickly in the basement, so I went down there and immediately turned around to go back up the steps due to the dungeon like feel.
That being said, the tots are great, the wieners with all the topping options are spectacular, and the price is definitely right. I will go back the next time I am craving a hot dog and some greasy food but if I go on a weekend, I will be sure to eat a snack before coming and be ready to fight with a fellow waiting patron for a table that is getting ready to leave!
