Daddy’s Dogs (Printer's Alley)

A little late getting this posted, but headed here this past Sunday after the CMA fest. Food was great, but our order was not correct. Ordered a big daddy and two lone wolfs with just ketchup...got everything.in the lone wolfs. Did not make a fuss as the line behind us was already 20 deep and did not want to add the stress to the girl working (only one there).

Daddy’s dogs have by far the best hot dogs in the country. I have had some good hot dogs in my time. But this place did not only meet my expectations. It exceeded them. The experience was modern and fun. Get laid back and relaxing. The Carolina dog absolutely blew my mind. And the Cuban was amazing as well. Yes I got two! I had to get the experience. I had a mullet and relaxed for an hour or so just enjoying the atmosphere. I will be back at this place regularly.

A hole in the wall place with food you don't want to miss. Located in Printer's Alley you will find a hot dog shop selling some usual and unusual concoctions! Fairly priced for good sized portions. Wife got the chili cheese dog and I got the Georgia dog. The chili cheese dog has the usual, while my Georgia dog had half of a large peach cut up with jalapenos, cream cheese, and Daddy Dog's "secret sauce." The Georgia dog had that perfect combo of sweet (peach) and spicy (jalapeno). Large size hot dog, unlike the normal grocery sized ones you often see. No seating as this is pretty much a food stand. So, you will have to find a wall to lean against or walk around. Gave 4 on service and atmosphere due to not really having either since it is not a normal sit down restaurant.

I had an experience with Daddy's dogs when they were at the Yeehaw brewery on 6th street. I'm not sure how often they are there, but it was great. I had the Big Daddy and my son had the Chili dog. We're from Chicago so we've had plenty of dogs in our day. These were a nice change of pace from the standard Chicago style dog that everyone does. The big daddy had a bunch of nice crunchy bacon and the cream cheese was a nice twist. My son loved the chili dog. I've never been to this location on printers alley, but if you're at Yeehaw when you're there, give it a try.

First time in Nashville and visiting printers Alley. Was looking for some thing for a quick bite to eat and saw this place. If you were looking for a late night snack, then this is your place to get. The hotdogs are a little greasy, but plentiful and lots of choices for toppings so this would be your great after the bars food to have. I had the bacon barbecue with mustard and cheese. The service was quick and fast and we were able to get it to go boxes and the prices were not that bad. It’s not a place that I would go normally during a regular hour but after barhopping this is your place to be.

Cold dog with cold cheese and a stale bun… looks and sounds better than it is…was amazing a few years ago, but they gave in to tourism.

Cool spot in the heart of Printers Alley. Open late-night to grab quick bites after a night out in the bars/pubs. You order at the window & even with a packed crowd all ordering, you get your food damn quick! We ordered during a peak-time (around 2a on a Saturday) & got our dogs in less than 10min. The food was hot, fresh & delicious.

Love the tongue-in-cheek vibe of this place. Really fun names and descriptions for the menus items. On top of that, the quality is fantastic. It’s not often you can find a place that serves genuinely great hotdogs. They do get really messy though. Grab napkins, and find a place to sit down to eat these.

Pay attention to the hours; this might be one of the first non-alcoholic places I've seen that OPENS at 9PM on some nights. (We 100% stood around in front of an empty booth for 20 minutes, assuming someone took a bathroom break, before learning to read.) There is no interior. There is no door. It's simply a window that opens up into the walking-only Printer's Alley. This isn't a place you'd park your car to go to; this is a place you stop into if you're already walking in the area and decide you want a hot dog, right then and there. And for that, when it's actually open, it succeeds. We ordered and had a hot dog within a minute. Even the group of six ahead of us had their food within a few minutes. It looks like Daddy's Dogs always has the hot dogs rolling, and the single cashier/cook behind the window just pops it into a tray with the bun and adds your toppings, and you're good to go. The beef in the hot dog is GOOD. It's not too spiced, but it's very soft and delicious. The bread they use is way too pillowy and thick. The bread-to-hot-dog ratio is off, but if you've been drinking, the extra bread maybe isn't the worst thing in the world. Their "Chicago Dog" is more like an "inspired by Chicago dog". A Chicago dog has a very specific set-up, and theirs is missing some of it (and the pepper size and pickle size is very lacking). If you can still see the hot dog through the pepper and pickle on a Chicago dog, it's not quite right. Still, it was hot, fresh, delicious, cheap, fast, and RIGHT THERE. It'd be impossible for it be any more convenient.
