We checked out Whiskey Dogg a few nights ago since we were in the mood to try something new. Overall, we liked it quite a bit.
The atmosphere is very hipster cool - this place would fit right in in Ohio City or Tremont. But here it is in North Olmstead.....I know right?? Nice to have something a bit younger and unique out in the West burbs.
The menu is just big enough (not 8 billion options like at Happy Dog). Not that 8 billion options is bad, it's just sometimes nice to have a short list of items to pick from and that's that.
I tried the slaw dog - cole slaw, jalapeƱos, beer cheese sauce. Sean had the Seoul Dog which has cream cheese, kimchi and some other stuff on it. I would say we both liked our dogs but weren't amazed by them. On mine, the cheese sauce didn't seem to go that well with the other toppings although the toppings on their own were quite tasty. Sean liked the flavor of the Seoul dog but found it very creamy which he said got old after awhile.
Other good stuff: The buns are more substantial to the usual hot dog buns which is nice. The fries were quite tasty also. They have Mickey's hand grenades for $3! Took Sean back to his college days throwing the empty bottles at passing trains. They had quite an interesting list of whiskey cocktails that I'm excited to try sometime.
Service was a bit slow but nothing terrible. We were definitely pleased with the experience for the most part and will be back to try more of the menu.
