Billy’s Gourmet Hot Dogs

Can hotdogs be art? They sure can if they are made with love and an artistic flair. Especially when the restaurant is in a really cool art district of a very creative city like Denver. We really enjoyed the meal at Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs. My wife really enjoyed the Denmark Dog and I had the Smothered Italian Sausage sandwich with hot peppers. The sausage was quite meaty and tasty, loaded with grilled onions and red peppers. Super Yummy!! We added the " Frings " meaning French Fries and Onion Rings. The fries were just perfect, .. crispy and fully cooked and tender inside. The Onion Rings were the star of the show. Cut about a half an inch wide and battered and fried very crispy! The atmosphere is relaxing, we chose a seat outside on the patio where we were served with a friendly smile. Since we came from Houston Texas heat, the evening air in downtown Denver is amazing! Quite and romanticly lit with rope lights, .. it felt magical to be in the heart of the Rino District and still be quite and private. Overall the experience is worth considering a second visit, you should definitely give it a try!!. They somehow figured out how to make the hot dog an upscale experience.

The fries....I will try to speak on something other than The Blue Cheese, Gaelic, and Pesto fries that were amazing. Okay okay. There was a hotdog. It was a great hotdog and it paired so well with the garlic, blue cheese.....ahem. The hot dog was really good. They had a diverse selection of styles as well as Alt and Angus options for the dog itself. The toppings on mine were extremely fresh. THE FRIES THO. Shoestring fries, perfectly crispy, serveded with real minced garlic (not garlic salt! ), a blue cheese that was the perfect choice (not so strong like MayTag ) and a pesto that could have came from your Noni's kitchen. Great music playing, staff was extremely nice (i couldn't remember where I parked but using landmarks and his phone we were able to sleuth it out) and you know how some people smile with their whole face? The young woman working, she smiled with her whole soul! A drink, the fries and the styled hot dog was $19 Great place and highly recommended!

I really enjoyed the hot dogs from here! I tried the Coney Dog and the New York Dog. I feel like the pricing is reasonable and I would order them again. The cheese sticks didn't have any cheese in half of them though...so that was a little disappointing.

We used to live down near Billy’s and I remember visiting Billy‘s but now I remember why we never really went back.. hot dogs are not great. I would definitely not call them “gourmet”. Don’t get me wrong, they have some interesting toppings/choices but that doesn’t mean they’re good and certainly does not make them gourmet. My husband got one that looked like it was full of cheese-wiz. I got the Seattle dog and nothing was fresh about the cabbage, and the BBQ sauce wasn’t chilled as described in the menu and it was pretty much disgusting. Way too much bun..not a lot of dog in general. I tried my daughter‘s hotdog, which was just a plain hot dog to try to give Billy’s the benefit of doubt, but even that didn’t taste good. There were two servers working, one was really nice, the other was not very nice at all. I don’t think we’ll ever be coming back here again.

We were walking by and decided to stop in for a quick bite. Wife grabbed a corn dog, and I had the Billy dog, their take on the classic Chicago dog. My Billy dog was fantastic, I nearly ordered a second.

My family of 4 loved this place. We had the chicken mango jalapeño (delicious), corn dog (kid favorite), smothered Italian (thumbs up, and the taco dog (fantastic). The garlic cheese fries were so good covered with just the right amount of garlic. The buffalo wings and onion rings were good too. The staff were friendly and helpful when we ordered. Definitely a great 1st experience and we can’t wait to come back and try more things on the menu.

The ambience at this restaurant gives off the ambience as a small family-owned business. I'm from Detroit and back home we have a restaurant called Coney Island where the cuisine specializes in red chili entrees like chili cheese fries and chili cheese hot dogs. Billy's seems to be a replica of that only they offer squeeze cheese with their toppings. They had different items on the menu & everything tasted well and it's worth visiting again

In search of a true Chicago dog? I wasn't, but I stumbled upon Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs while out for a walk, and it was the best kind of surprise! This is the real deal! They don't skimp on anything – the perfect dog, the right toppings, all served up with friendly service. A must-try for any hot dog lover!

great place for a chicago dog friendly service we love it you need to stop by and try it out ask for jen she will take care of you

Great vibe, really friendly staff, got the 24 hour dog, vegan dog, and jalapeño poppers. the dawg was to die for, vegan dog reported as "10/10" from the fiancé, and Jalep popps were delicious Will be back to try their beef and breakfast

As we walked in we were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for food. Hopefully that usually means the food will be hot and delicious. The place wasn't even that busy. I ordered the New York hotdog that was very underwhelming and my hotdog was hard to bite and chew. It didn't taste hot and fresh. The actually hot dog was very tiny. We only spent about $17 dollars on 2 hot dogs and a waters, so I'm glad everything was relatively cheap. The tables outside were dirty and the menus inside looked like they had been overused and not cleaned in a while. Probably won't be coming back to try anything new.

Amazing fun place with the biggest baddas hot dog ever. Awesome views and the fries cut fresh right there I dint know Friday can be so good Giddy up

I've been searching for the best hot dog in Denver and had to check this place out! Small little hot dog shop with a nice outdoor patio area- I enjoyed the atmosphere! Quick counter service and they will bring your food to you. We tried 3 different dogs- the Coney Dog, the Texas Tommy, and the Bronco Billy. The Bronco Billy was definitely the favorite. I really enjoyed the combination of flavors with the cheese and bbq sauce, and the added touch of jalapeño was delicious. We also grabbed the half and half fries and those were a great side for our meals. Definitely enjoyed the flavors. Would love to see more non-cheese options!

Food truck came on job site. High prices! $9 for a "Billy Dog" hot dog w/ + $7 for fries. I opted for Chilli cheese fries. They were $11 for a child size/side portion. The fries were ok, but so are Sonic's at $5 for a large.

Food was good, hot dogs are tiny. Service was decent. Very casual atmosphere. Won't be back

Staff was very welcoming, great suggestions and knowledge of the menu. Food was great and they even brought out water for some dogs sitting on the patio! Pretty enjoyable time

Sooooo just be careful buying food from these guys at concerts. Some nice people, but for one OVERLY priced hot dog at $14 ...I would expect for a drink and chips to go with it. Ohhh no. No no no. That's just the hot dog. Adding an SNACK sized bag of chips and a Water racks on another $15 to that meal alone! Never will I EVER Buy a hot dog, plus a snack bag of chips and water for $29 PLUS tip?!?! Turned out to be $34 total?!? Don't even talk to me about tipping culture now. But $15 for a water and chips?!? Ohhh and guess what this man did when I was paying... didn't even tell me how much it cost and the FlIPPED the damn iPad over so I Can't even see the price. He knew what he was doing...: he knew. Save your money people. Not worth it.

Great service and a mighty tasty glizzy I got the Bronco Dog, and even as a Raider fan I really enjoyed it Girlfriend enjoyed the bratwurst a lot

My brother in Christ, I ask .. what is this sad a$$ $12 bacon wrapped glizzy? I've had better from a corner grill at 2 am on colfax. This was so sad I actually cried when I opened my box. "Gourmet" .. but it's low key funny. It was good but I'm mad I spent $12 on this lmao

What's not to love? Billy's has delicious hot dogs, with super creative menu options. They also have amazing milkshakes and fries. A friend and I were in town wasting time before our flight back to Philadelphia and were in need of a snack. We had found a cool beer garden online and while on the way there saw the sign for Billy's and could not resist. The meal was relatively inexpensive -- two hotdogs, a milkshake, fries, and two bottles of water for less than $40 with tip. While I'm not a local, I'd definitely go back and recommend friends in Denver check it out.

This is where hot dogs go when they want a hot dog! You're greeted with a delightful recognizable hot dog stand aroma when you step in. The menu offers a wide variety of unique hot dog creations, each bursting with flavor. I enjoyed their signature Billy's Special Dog, topped with a mouthwatering blend of caramelized onions, tangy pickles, and their special house sauce. Or for something with a little more kick, try their "Hot and Spicy" dog - it packs a punch. They do have a selection of vegan and vegetarian hot dog options. Don't forget your fries, nachos, and ice cream! The service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance. It's an excellent spot for a quick lunch or a very casual dinner. Parking can be difficult. You just have to find a spot.

Usually get these dogs at Avs games and wanted to stop in to the actual restaurant to check it out and Derick and Vanessa did not disappoint! Fast and very friendly service with great suggestions! Food was great! I can't wait to come back!

Soo good and tons of options, great beer & soda selection too and the staff was very sweet!

Hits the spot! As a connoisseur of Chicago dogs, Billy's gets it nearly perfect. No ketchup, mustard, neon green relish, onions, tomatoes, pickle, poppy seed bun...all check. Bonus with Vienna Beef dogs. Only miss was not steaming the buns. 9 out of 10. I thought the fries were perfect, skin on, perfect fry and corse salt seasoned - 10 out of 10. My wife had the Denmark dog on a GF bun. She said the gluten free bun was nice and airy. 8 out of 10 (high praise from her). Atmosphere and location are 10 out of 10. Misters on patio. Decent beer selection - 12.

The workers were amazingly kind. Chill people. Will be back! Thank you, Derek, Cynthia, Eileen!!!

Came here for the first stop of a food tour and tried the spicy polish sausage. I normally don't go for dogs with sauerkraut but I enjoyed this one. I'm a mustard fan so the spicy brown mustard on it was good. I would try this place again for a future visit.

Love the quality food! Always consistent and delicious! Just like a Chicago dog! The customer services is excellent!

Absolutely delicious and amazing staff! I came in on a Monday night to grab a bite after bar hopping and what a great stop! Their hotdogs were absolutely delicious crispy and packed with flavor. We also had a order of fries which were Homemade!! My absolute favorite (similar to five guys) . I would absolutely recommend.

My elk dog was super good, a little zip to it and the sauerkraut made it extra yummy. I opted for a side of mozzarella sticks, those were alright. My favorite kind of mozz sticks are the ones wrapped in wonton, it's been so long and several states away since I've had them that way (can't be that hard to find/make?!). The staff was super duper nice. I was bummed they didn't honor the Yelp check-in -- wish we had more of these @Yelp! Since there are so few check-in offers it's even suckier when the staff won't honor them but it's probably not their fault, but those decision-makers above their pay grade. They do have some brews to choose from and an ample amount of seating both inside and outside. Try something new at Billy's!

Delicious Chicago style hotdogs. The service is fast and friendly. Has veg options. We love coming here

Great food, needs warmer when received. Great flavors. Add on fee is perplexing, plus delivery plus tip, plus prices going up. But its good. I order extras and eat them on next day or two. Have to heat dog separately. Then insert dog back inside, and nuke nmbun for 10 sec to get fresh soft roll. Their italian beef is authentic messy chicago neighborhoods food. ​

From Chicago so I love a good dog. These hold up to the standard. Always end up trying a few and all of them have been great. It feels like a little hole in the wall but the patio is a great people watching spot. They do sell beer here! The staff always recommends what to order and the food comes out quick. We usually stop here before going to an event where we will be drinking

Always tasty, hot and delicious. Never a bad experience. Been coming in for over a dozen years

Caught the food truck outside Home Depot! They were so friendly and quick! The dogs were amazing!! Will definitely be on the look out for them again!

Would I come out of my way to eat here? No. Would I come here to eat on my way home from drinking in the area? YES! Or if you are a corn dog lover, this is the spot to get a quick and cheap corn dog! The breading was crisp and flavorful. I know a good corn dog. I ordered the basic Billy Fries - light salt. The staff was friendly and service was quick. The inside was cleaner than I expected. I was shocked and impressed by the quality and quantity of outdoor seating. I recommend checking in on Yelp when arriving... there is a special surprise :)

Wow wow wow great selection good prices good customer service love it will be back again

The hot dogs were delicious and we got the garlic pesto blue cheese fries, very good stuff. Will definitely be coming back. The staff was incredibly nice and fast service.

I don't know if I caught them at a bad time but this is was disappointing.(Thursday 5/8 @6:00pm) Walking into a fully empty restaurant and we felt like an inconvenience to the man behind the counter. We ordered the Bronco Billy, the Sonoran, the slaw dog, and sweet potato fries. The presentation on all the hotdogs fine but the sweet potato fries were so burnt they were almost fully black. I might have gone back if the hotdogs tasted good, or like anything at all. Fully flavorless. We went up and ordered two bottles of beer to enjoy with our hotdogs and in return he slammed two beer bottles down on our table with fervor. After which, he decided now was the perfect time to sweep directly under our feet. Practically ushering us out of the already empty building. Didn't mean to bother you? The worst hot dog I've ever had and maybe the worst dining experience. Needless to say we won't be returning and I would recommend heading to Costco for a better hotdog.

I love Billy's. A lunch break staple. Big fan of the Denmark dog and French fries. Want to try every hot dog by the end of the summer

Amazing food and wonderful staff!! Can not recommend this place enough. Great place for a quick bite and good ambiance.

A decent hot dog spot in RiNo, it was pretty on par for what I expected. Do you need to go out of your way to come here? No. Is it a good to hit on the way home after a night out in the area? Yes. The outdoor seating was nice, and I liked the flavor of the hot dog. I ordered the Denmark dog - It came loaded with toppings. I wish the dog was a little bit bigger though, it was a pretty skinny one, so wasn't incredibly filling. For the price and location though, still thought it was a decent value, especially to crave a late night snack.

Always good and loved the happy hour prices!! The coney dog and Chicago dogs are always my favorite. The garlic pesto fries were also very tasty.

"made w/ love". Friendly service & a scrumptious dog with pico de gallo. Never a disappointment. Always plenty of items to choose from with clean tables.

The BEST Chicago Style hot dog around. They have it down to the very last ingredient. A MUST try

Always great. I feel like part of the family here since I'm always coming to get an elk or buffalo.

Great tasting buns and good variety of hot dogs; have tried six and have all been excellent; on our last stop we also tried the fish and chips and they were awesome as well; highly recommend trying half rings/half fries or chili cheese fries

Excellent service, perfect beer selection and the best dogs in Denver. Our group had billy dogs and 24 hour dogs. Both excellent.

These were the best hot dogs i've had in years for real i can never find the hot dogs with the snap to them. good mac and cheese and wings that are actually good with enough sauce. I'm coming back here and you should come here it's awesome

Stopped back at BGHDs with MDW, daughter, and my sweet 3yo GD, to get the little chicken nugget (her nickname) her first hotdog. For the last 6 months she has been saying " I want to get a hotdog with grandad), music to this old Nathan's World Hotdog Eating champ's ears. My advise to anyone ordering a hotdog, especially at a hotdog mecca like Billy's, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT order a veggie, vegan, aka in edible tubular waste of calories. But no, as usual MDW, and daughter diregarded my advise, and plea not to do so. So my daughter eat hers (if hungry, people will eat anything), anyhow some people will. MDW after the first bite, eats the roll and was begging bites of my Chicago dog, ( I also had a Danish dog ( not a favorite). My grandaughter eats ketchup with pretty much everything, so her first hotdog was no exception (in time, i hope to change that) but she did love her first hotdog. We also ordered 3 cheese fries which very very tasty. I have a few hotdog places that I frequent in Denver, and Billy's is certainly one of my favorite spots.

Gone here a few times and would be happy to go back again. Service is awesome and the hot dogs are loaded and delicious. I still have plenty left to try on the menu but am keen to try them all! Dine-in is currently available. There's both seating inside and outside. Go on a sunny day in your lunch break. Grab a local beer with a hot dog and enjoy.

Great service, delicious food. But there is no tip option on the credit card machine to tip the lovely employees. I implore ownership to get on this asap. They deserve great tips.

We ordered a Coney Dog and a Elk Bratwurst. Both were outstanding and priced well. Also the Fries were fresh cut and yummy. Strawberry Milkshake was one of the best I have had in a long time Cashier's name was Samantha and she was sooo sweet. She had some great recommendations. Great service and Food A++++. 5 Star experience.

unbelievable hotdogs. I keep coming back with everyone who comes viskt bc tbh they are unreal. The

Billy's always knocks it out the park. I came all the way from Georgia to eat here. And you have the best guy in town, Hector. Hot dogs and Hector are terrific!

Obsessed love it will be back. Taco dog and Tijuana dogs are electric reg dog is very good too

Amazing hotdogs, really nice staff, would recommend. I had the Kobe and bratwurst ones *chefs kiss* Thank you so much, hit the spot

A real nice place for a good hotdog, inside or outside on the back porch. Kind service, good people, always a smile and not too expensive,Lots of choices..
