Cycle Dogs

"If you thought french fries were the best plant-based drinking food around, this spot in Ballard will make you reconsider. They serve vegan burgers, chick'n sandwiches, and Field Roast hot dogs that are actually tasty, like a breakfast-inspired version with hash browns, meatless chorizo, grilled onions, and chipotle aioli. Get some crinkle fries, too, and you're set." - Aimee Rizzo

"Under Seattle law, we have to include a vegan hot dog spot on this list. The Field Roast plant-based dogs here don’t give your teeth the resistance that’s the signature of a top-notch beef dog, but they have a genuine beef-y, almost smokey taste. Cycle Dogs puts these in perfectly toasted buns and gets elaborate with the toppings, like the elote dog, which is loaded with corn and cilantro. Gluten-free options are available too." - Harry Cheadle, Eater Staff

"For instance, Cycle Dogs — the longtime vegan hot dog stand — has opened a new restaurant in Ballard." - Sabra Boyd

"It sold food from local purveyors, such as Salmonberry Goods, and hosted food trucks, including vegan sensation Cycle Dogs, which is still parked out front even as it plans its first fixed location in Ballard." - Gabe Guarente

"Vegan favorite Cycle Dogs has plans to open its first full-fledged restaurant in Ballard this April, and it’s looking for some help. Recently, the popular food truck launched a Kickstarter campaign to cover some final costs for the new venture. Cycle Dogs has already secured a location in the former No Bones Beach Bones space, but it’s still looking to complete renovation work in the dining area and patio." - Gabe Guarente
