Dog In the Park

had been really excited to try a seattle dog for a while and finally got it here this was an incredible hot dog i have to say probably the best hot dog i've ever had starting with the buns, these were toasted perfectly the outside had a perfect brown toasted look that felt just hard enough, but the inside was unbelievably soft - these were some really high quality buns was really impressed with how well these tasted moving to the sausage itself, one thing that was quite surprising was the overall size of the meat it was too long to fit in the bun on both ends - which I appreciated as it was clear they weren't trying to skimp you on the portion of meat. This was cut in half - which I also liked as it made eating it easier The level of grilling on this was perfect - there were char marks on either side providing clear flavor but definitely not burned. It had a definite 'grill' flavor but also remained quite juicy and enjoyable to eat The vegetables (mostly onions) were really good as well. I know there was a lot of oil put on them, but these were also grilled to a really good level and were super crunchy with the oil imparting a lot of flavor Lastly, the cream cheese was fantastic. The one food-based gripe I have with this was I wish there was more cream cheese spread on both buns, as I couldn't taste it that often, but when I could taste it - it really brought everything together, acting like a perfect sauce. I love this combination of cream cheese + onions + the hot dog I will say that this was a little expensive - coming in at about 10 dollars with tax For a meal that's really not going to fill you up much, that's a lot Given that it is a hot dog, the portion size was relatively good, however This would get a lot higher of a score if it was a) filling enough or b) economical enough to get two of them Overall, an incredibly flavorful hot dog - only missing a slight amount in price and portion size, but considering that this is street food, I couldn't expect anything better in terms of flavor 8.75/10

I had the Seattle dog, and it was weird. I'm glad I tried it once but I wouldn't again. Also, the "fresh" lemonade was a bottle of sparkling ice lemonade which was misleading, and also a bummer.

Delicious hot dogs with very friendly service. I love the Seattle dog with the cream cheese and the yummy stir fry toppings. The meat itself is also yummy. Nice to sit outside and enjoy the skyline scenery and trees.

Simple straightforward menu. Clean surrounding area. Live music playing from a nearby stand. I deducted one star because the worker did not give his full attention because he was paying attention to his phone. Also, we ordered the Seattle hotdog, which comes with cream cheese but had to search for it in the dog and in my tastebuds. I ended up going back to add condiments. Either way it really was delicious. The wiener had a nice bite to it (it wasn’t a soft wiener like many other hotdogs). The bun was perfectly soft. The temperature of the dog was hot-off-the-grill warm because they grill the dog right when you order it. There were lots of condiments to choose from at no extra cost. At the time we went they had sauerkraut, different kinds of mustard, different varieties of hot sauce, ketchup, and mayonnaise. They also may have had chipotle sauce and sour cream if I remember correctly. There are chairs and small aluminum tables that fit a couple of people at each table located on the left side of the stand. We sat on the one wooden larger table bench nearest to the park grass facing the front of the stand. The one seagull we saw did not disturb us eating. It’s a clean area. You may want to not that we did see one man who looked unkept in appearance but he did not bother us. It’s a safe surrounding area with just a couple of steps away from the space needle. There are also more places to eat in a food court close by (opposite end of the hot dog stand) called Armory (hopefully that’s the correct spelling/name). There are also more stands/stores nearby kind of like a farmers market feel. We didn’t see restroom signs. Ended up going to the Armory Food court to use their restroom.

Stopped to get a dog while waiting for our turn to go up in the space needle. I got the Seattle dog and it was very good. A couple good options as well as vegetarian options.

Super nice service. 3min wait time. All their dogs are high quality. The buns are nice and toasty. The toppings are fresh. Absolute killer dogs. I recommend the Seattle Dog!

It was tasty but a bit difficult to eat. The bun started to fall apart after my first bite. Needless to say, it got quite messy. They cut the dog in half, so that makes it even more "hard to handle." But, the flavor was good, and I had to experience this Seattle dog with the cream cheese that everyone was talking about. It was also a nice area to sit and enjoy the sunny day we had.

Consistently good Seattle dogs and the cream cheese topping that they use really enhances the flavor! It’s located right by the entrance of the Pop Culture Museum.

Get the Seattle Dog, you won't be disappointed! Popped over here for a quick bite before an appointment. I'm not a huge hotdog fan, but every once in a while have a wicked craving. I remember when Dog in the Park first opened, and the owner was always so kind and welcoming. The guy working yesterday was equally pleasant, and made everyone's orders fresh with a smile. Best hotdog I've had in a long time!

We stopped here while out and about in Seattle. The hotdog stand worker maybe owner was very friendly and patient. He had one large order before us and others behind us so was quite busy without any help. There's a few options but we ordered a hot dog with grilled onions and mustard. The hot dog was longer than the bun which was good but the bun appears to be a hoagie bun. Strange. Plus the he put too much seasoning salt on the onions making the dogs very salty. Onions don't need seasoning salt. Just a random happening but there were tons of security guards hanging around the stand. Perhaps they were on break but it was a lot and honestly I didn't feel secure.

It was ok. The hotdogs were made fresh right next to a small park. It low-key felt a little dirty. Police cars were parked on the street and several paid, loud, security guards were congregated in the area... not sure if that was a good or bad thing- prob the latter. The alleyway next to the stand smelled though. Since they do make everything fresh, there is a 10ish min wait. We got the food to go and ate at our hotel. The hotdogs are split, and the bun is nicely toasted on the griddle. It's about 9 bucks for a hotdog. My kid wanted to try their Seattle dog bc it's something he's seen on YouTube and this was the closest spot on yelp that had one. We also got a Chicago dog.

I was wandering around the city, a little hungover from the night before, and was looking for something light. I ordered the Seattle dog to try something different for a change. It was pretty good, I was surprised. Cream cheese on a hotdog? It works. Overall I was pleased, though I would've liked my veggies cooked down a little more.

Tasty hot dogs, there are so many reasons to think cream cheese and a hot dog is not supposed to work, but it does here. In fact, I ate three hot dogs here and enjoyed each of them. Good char, very pleasant taste, good spice, all for the leisure of eating in a park with the toppings of your choice. The owner is a sweet guy as well. He gets it. Go visit the Space Needle, hop on the Monorail, and enjoy a fun lunch here.

The wife and I were visiting the space needle and were a bit hungry. We saw the dog in the park stand and were curious to see what hot dogs were like in Seattle. Coming from LA we are used to overpriced dirty dogs (bacon wrapped). We were skeptical to try the Seattle dog which said it had cream cheese. After one bite I was happy I took a chance. The combination of cream cheese along with the caramelized onions was amazing! Service was good especially being a little pop up spot across from the space needle. It was even more convenient being across from a stand selling Arnold palmers. Overall the Seattle dog was a great choice and I definitely would try it again if we come back to visit Seattle.

Came out of the space needle and was a little hungry, so we decided to give it a go. We ordered the Seattle do and wow it was delicious. By the time we left Seattle I Eder up coming back 3 times for this dog. These hot dog stands are all over Seattle by the way. It was a lightly toasted bun with cream cheese, the hot dog and sautéed veggies. Super delicious. If your on the run and want a quick bite give them a go

Cream cheese in a hot dog?! Sounds strange... but I guess don't knock it 'til you try it! We came across Dog in the Park while walking around Westlake and it sounded like something worth trying so we fell for the tourist trap. We ordered the Seattle dog, which is their hot dog filled with cream cheese and caramelized vegetables. There wasn't much of an even distribution of cream cheese and vegetables with every bite - there was a lack of cream cheese in general. Despite this, the hot dog was pretty good! Service was alright, our hot dog was made quickly. Not sure if it's worth the $8, but it was definitely worth a try!

Me and husband got a plain dog and a cheesesteak and omfg. SO GOOD. The cheesesteak has so much flavor and the hot dog itself is juicy Super stoner approved

Nice little Asian couple run this stand we had the Seattle dog because my wife read about it and it sounded good. They put cream cheese on the dog with grilled onions and bells. The dog has that crunch the bun was fresh could have used a little more cream cheese for my liking but it was tasty and delicious . We searched all over and this was the only vendor where it said it would be!! Very frustrating not sure if Yelp or the vendors should be updating their post. The park gets crowded but we where able to grab a table since it was just the two of us.

Omg!! What can I say "try the Seattle Dig"! Just go out of the box and do it. It's awesome

Great stop for a good hotdog! I had the Chicago dog and added jalapeño to it. Hit the spot on the walk back from the market. There is some outdoor seating nearby in the park with security walking around however you'll still have the occasional homeless or druggie pass through so be on guard.

Seattle Dog Why have I not put cream cheese on a hot dog sooner!!?! Oh that's right, it sounds F-ing odd but is oh so delicious!! The peppers and onions were sautéed nicely, good crunch and flavor. I hate mushy veggies so this is key to me. The sauce topped on the dog and the cream cheese came together nicely. Flavorful spin on an American staple. #ThisFeedsMySoul #CynBites #ALilBitOfCyn #MyFoodieLife

I'm sort of struggling with this one, because they serve a righteous dog, but it's tough to get past the overwhelming smell of urine. But, that's sort of the smell of Westlake Park. That being said, the dog itself was really quite good! It was a Labor Day afternoon in Downtown Seattle, and things seemed to be winding down, so I thought I missed out on the opportunity to try the iconic Seattle Dog, but they were just putting one of the umbrellas away. Yay! I can get one and find a less smelly place to sit. The dog was cooked perfectly, with just enough caramelized veggies to add flavor and texture. The cream cheese added so much to the flavor and texture of the whole package. So, in conclusion, I loved the dog, but the atmosphere left something to be desired.

Got turned away at 11am saying they won't be open for 15 minutes even though all signs say they are open at 10. The employee was kind of nice about it but it's strange that no one has changed the hours to reflect. That difference in time was too long for me because I was taking a bus transfer to an appointment. Even stranger to turn people away because a food truck feet away was serving more elaborate food! I recommend being so close to major bus transfers that the hours be updated to reflect so people don't risk missing a bus. Especially with it being so cold and limited seating outdoors (though I don't really suggest sticking around because the area can get bad with homeless for months before the next sweep). (Side note that even though I didn't get to try it they have a vegetarian and a spicy vegetarian dog if you do t eat meat).

Most Seattle food video blogs mention Dog in the Park, and it made sense to get a Seattle dog in Seattle, as one would get deep-dish in Chicago, lobstah in Maine, cheesesteak in Philly, extra tall cans of tea in Arizona, or bath salts in Florida. I got the Seattle dog... with cream cheese and grilled veggies??? Yup, and it worked. The hot dog was snappy, the bun sweet, the cream cheese was a nice surprise and, even though I hate bell peppers, the veggies had been grilled until they were mercifully just a flavorless pile of texture.

Amazing hotdog. Highly recommend this. This is a high quality all beef hotdog and they cook to order right quick best thing I had today

This is a great spot for Hot Dogs. The staff are all so nice and the hot dogs are amazing. Definitely would recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be back again for hot dogs next time I'm in Seattle again.

This is definitely a 5 out of 5 Seattle dog compared to the other one we've had. Granted we've only had one other (and at the Space Needle for the full Seattle experience), but it wasn't memorable - however I'm glad we tried this one because we really enjoyed it!! It was nice to just stroll through there and grab a dog to walk and eat. We went in the morning and it was nice and bright in the brisk air. The guy making our Seattle dog was super friendly and we enjoyed our talk with him. He seasoned the veggies perfectly and recommended we try the Seattle dog as is before playing around the condiments. He was right - we didn't need to add anything else with all the flavors that was already in the Seattle dog itself. You'd think ceam cheese is such a unique flavor to add in there but it works soooo well!

I wanted to LOVE my Seattle dog, but I think it's just a personal preference that I didn't enjoy as much as I wanted to. The Seattle dog is a hot dog, with cream cheese, caramelized veggies like onions and peppers, on a toasted bun. I would've liked it more if there was a lot more cream cheese. I barely tasted cream cheese in mine :( I'm not big on the veggies that were put on top, but like I said, it's more of a personal preference and not their fault. I'm sure there's something else that I would've enjoyed more if I get another chance. These hot dogs are served from a small outdoor shop on the side of a building, plenty of outdoor seating. Service is very friendly from the gentleman who was both taking orders and making the dogs. Food's made fresh in front of you. I still think it's a must try in the area if you're a tourist.

Dogs were good. Plentiful but not sure if $7 worth. We ordered strawberry lemonade and kiwi lemonade. Out of kiwi "flavor". Probably a good thing. The strawberry did not resemble strawberry and the whole drink reminded me of fruit punch in the big containers at the store. I'd stick to bottled pop or water.

Fantastic downtown hotdog place at Westlake. Friendly service and fresh food makes this a great place to eat! Grab a hotdog and walk around the city or take a seat in the area. Any selection is a great option so you can not go wrong with any choice.

The only bad thing about the Seattle hotdog was that he burned my sausage. He was frying the sausage and setting up two umbrellas outside.

We went to the Westlake Mall location for a quick lunch, and this place did not disappoint! The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and efficiently took our orders while still cooking the last order perfectly (multi-tasking at its best). My wife and I both ordered the "Seattle dogs" which came with cream cheese (instead of the typical mustard/ketchup) and included grilled onions and green peppers as toppings. We also went for the spicy options and agreed that the jalapeno peppers were a nice complement to the cream cheese. Our little one went for a plain dog and loved it. While known for their Seattle dog, the stand also serves a few other variations of hot dogs that I have not seen elsewhere (Mediterranean Dogs, anyone?) as well as a Philly Cheesesteak option. All in all, a great experience trying out our first Seattle dog after a day of shopping.

Stopped by for a hotdog and it was actually really good! I loved the bread they use and the mayo they add. Quality was good and portion was perfect. I would definitely stop here for a snack!

The employee taking the order was very rude. Every time someone complains about their hotdog he would give them a cold stare and mad dog them, he would eventually he would start speaking Vietnamese about the customers in the area especially against the black security officer there saying things like "its always the blacks" and some other racist things. He would also start talking about how poor someone is and start shaming them with his coworker. The food was half warm and half cold we also found pieces of hair in the hotdog as well the employee would also do math in his head to add up your total half of the time adding lore than what u have ordered.

Damn good Chicago dog y'all (do not miss the pic). They said it would be five minutes to make it, and there was a long line, but they made it just in time. Super nice guys too. I asked for some veggies after I'd already paid, and they're like, sure Chicago with veggies no problem, here you go. And they have all the condiments in the world there! Lots of great seating all around the area there, plenty of shaded ones with tables too. They do not skimp. Everything, including the dog, is huge. And delish. OK my wickedly awesome Yelpian friends, until next time, peace out, rock on, party on and don't stop

The first thing we did after checking into our hotel and dropping off our bags was take our exhausted selves to go on a mission for a Seattle Dog. We left our hotel in Pioneer Square, Where the Seattle Dog was founded by a local bagel man, and walked a few blocks to Dog In The Park. A Seattle Dog if you're wondering consists of cream cheese spread on top, along the side of sauteed onions and or veggies. Sounds delicious, right? Well it definitely was. Dog In The Park is such a nice little hot dog stand. The guy working was super nice, asked us where we were traveling from and gave us some safety tips which was super sweet of him to even care. He made our delicious Seattle Dogs and we grabbed some chips and soda to go with it. They have such a big menu for such a small place. All of the different types of hot dogs they offer. They have beef, turkey, kosher.. etc. They have them in different styles. You can obviously get your Seattle Dog but also a Chicago Dog or a Mediterranean Dog. They also have a Philly Cheesesteak that looked amazing. Shockingly they have a handful of vegetarian options that are veggie or tofu based. You can also get a combo for $6. Small hot dog, chips and soda. They have a small seating area with picnic tables if you don't want to take it to go, you have a little place to sit and enjoy your food. I really enjoyed stopping here. I think we chose the right place to grab our first Seattle Dog and sit on a picnic table under a umbrella on a rainy day in Seattle.

I love eating. And I love trying new foods. So naturally, when we booked a trip to Seattle, I looked up what the popular foods were in the city. There was something called a Seattle-style hot dog, that's topped with cream cheese and sauteed onions. It sounded strange and I was kind of iffy about trying it but I'm glad I did. In fact, it might have been the best hot dog I've ever eaten. The actual dog is not your typical supermarket 8-pack or NYC dirty water dog. Instead, it's meaty, and has a nice snap to it. It's almost more like a sausage, then it is a hot dog. I'm also glad that we were unable to make it to my first choice Seattle dog spot (because they only had late hours and I don't stay up past 9 pm anymore), because it led us to Dog in the Park. On a Monday at around 5 and there were a few people waiting for their order. There was a couple who tried to order the Philly Cheesesteak, but the guy said they were sold out, so they just left. Starting to think that the Philly Cheesesteak is where it's at. If I ever find myself in Seattle again, I'll be sure to get another Seattle Dog (and the Philly)!

Not going to lie, I thought this place was sketchy because if it's location but man I was wrong. I also thought that putting cream cheese on a hotdog was nasty, again... WRONG! Go get a hotdog and get the Seattle Dog, SO GOOD! There's seating all around and a small park with tables a few feet away.

Worst service ever, the employee was rude, mocking me while I ask for cremecheese on the other side of the bun. I did not know that he would handle this so unprofessional when asked to please add.creme cheese as he said he did on one side of the bun. Look at the nasty Seattle dog . He had the nerve to ask us for $1 each for chreme cheese on the other side. We did pay for it . We will never be there when he is there. I asked if the manager was there. He laughed and said he would be here tomorrow with a smile ans talking over us!I'm sorry this has been the worst Seattle dog I have ever had! Don't visit if he's there I wish I had taken a pic of the

So this spot has several food trucks and I love food truck food so I decided I wanted to try the SEATTLE DOG. What's that anyway? It's a dog with cooked veggies and instead of Mayo it's cream cheese. It was good!

Delicious and perfect park food. Very fast service, I had seen another review saying their food was cool and almost didn't go here but I was really dying for a hotdog. Glad I came hot and delicious .

This place is great. Fantastic cheesesteak. Dogs are good. They're always here too so it's reliable for lunch. This place was here when I was a kid. Seattle native here. If you come to Westlake come to dog in the park! Not bad price. $11 for cheesesteak and a 20oz pop.

This place is a quintessential Seattle dog place. Jumped over here just off the plane to grab a bite to eat to start our weekend vacay! Dog in the Park didn't disappoint. My BF is fromChicago so he couldn't pass up the Chicago dog, but me, I went classic and ordered the Seattle Dog. The Chicago dog was just okay. Don't get your hopes up.... lean into the classic local Seattle dog. Bun was crispy and dog was perfectly cooked, with a pile of grilled onions and bell peppers on top. The surprise was a nice dollop of cream cheese layered right in with the rest of the ingredients. I needed to add some traditional mustard to give it a little more oomph, and the flavor explosion was beyond amazing. What a great start! Dog in the Park is a must stop for a quick bite in the

One of the best hot dogs I have had in a very long time. They are big and very tasty. I tried a regular dog. They even gave me some Jalapeños. Highly recommended

Hot dog cart in the city. Happy to have this option while so many restaurants are closed due to Covid. My Big Problem was one of the workers was smoking a cigarette at the side of the cart, flung the stub of the cigarette on the ground and then proceeded to chop veggies without washing his hands and not wearing a mask or gloves. Get your act together! We're all trying to stay healthy! The Chicago Dog...not really a Chicago dog. No sport peppers, no celery salt, tiny cherry tomatoes.

Finally got yo try this place, went with the Seattle Dog. Whatever you do when you visit here make sure to get the caramelized veggies on your dog. I knew from my hair dresser and cousin that was the way to go! When I went yesterday there was one guy working pumping out orders and collecting payment like a pro. The bun was nicely toasted, good char on the dog just a light swipe of the cream cheese topped with the grilled veggies. I added some delicious horseradish mustard that was tempting me. They have a few picnic tables out front for you to sit in. I don't often order a hotdog but really enjoyed my lunch!

They have the seattle dog! Aka hotdog with cream cheese The sausages were so good! You cant really taste the cream cheese too much imo. They make the food on the spot so it's fresh. They caramelize the onions. So gooddddd They have a lot of toppings too. Try it!! You're in seattle, get a Seattle dog!!

We got the Seattle Dog and Philly Cheesesteak which were both amazing! Would definitely recommend!

Provender: hot dogs. Dear Seattelites, I don't get the cream cheese. Maybe if you're hung over . . . really, really hung over. They have other specialty hot dogs too. The hot dogs are good, but personally I would skip the cream cheese. Prices: the Seattle dog (the most popular dog) and a soda will run you about $8.50. Parking: I parked near Pike Place Market and walked here. People: fun for all. It's located in a (concrete) park, which is a great place to chill or bring the kiddies. There are lots of over-sized games and mini tables. Perks: it's located close to Pike Place Market, about a ten minute walk. It's also located in a nice park.

NO STARS. My husband and I got here at 7:15pm which yelp said they closed at 8:00pm and they would be open for another 45 more minutes. When we got here, the BOY at the counter was already packing up and said he was ALREADY CLOSED. It was 7:15!

Once in a while, we crave for a good hot dog. This is an excellent choice, given its Westlake Park location. The hot dogs are large and of good quality. The buns are fresh and grilled. The veggie, their strong suit, is well made. I would recommend that they make their own sauerkraut, instead of the one from a big jar.

Let's just say from affair having a hotdog sounded like a game winning touchdown at Qwest Field. It turned out more like a Mariners game and an epic failure of a loss of game, money & appetite. Dog in The Park was not the greatest dog I've ever eaten and the cleanliness of its condiment area was disgusting. OK, the dog wasn't one of those delicious Chicago style dogs nor even an a beef Costco dog. I'm almost sure after seeing it, that he's selling Ballpark Franks from the grocery store verse having an amazing gourmet style dogs. I'd pay the extra buck for something of quality. My other grip is these dogs were cold and needed a grilling which so I'm not sure if the correct temperature for serving was used. Ok, in order for you to understand the uncleanliness of the condiment area I included some photos. Everything is exposed to the eliminates. Jalapeños are an open can for anyone to reach into so people to spread there flu germs on or a bird to drop a gift into. The containers for mustard had caked on dirt and grim on them. And sitting next to the mustard jar was a hand sanitizing jar that looked like it needed sanitizing itself. Folks trust me on this matter it's GROSS so don't subject yourself to a meal here. I took two bites and tossed my dog to the trash. Not worth a trip to the ER room. In fact it's time to contact KING COUNTY FOOD INSPECTORS so I'm outa here.

I'm not a huge hot dog fan so I was excited to hear that they have hot links. I substituted a hot link in the Seattle dog option. I asked for no cream cheese but it still ended up on my bun, but they were very busy so it probably got missed. It was nice to take a seat in shade at the park to eat and avoid the heat.

This place is the littlest. We had to go back twice because it was amazing. Who knew that you could put cream cheese on a hot dog and it would be so delicious? Workers are friendly and with the size of these dogs, definitely worth the price. They even put extra cream cheese with no upcharge.

My sister has been stopping at Dog in the Park at downtown Seattle for years and now I know why. I got the Seattle Dog - it has cream cheese and caramelized veges. The buns are hoagie style and grilled to make them extra yummy and the dog is cut in half so it spreads out in the bun which is genius. Highly recommend!

Came upon this hot dog stand while we were visiting the space needle and headed to the monorail. We got a couple of the plain hot dogs with ketchup and mustard. They were awesome! Probably the best thing we ate all weekend while we were in town. I would definitely recommend stopping by and trying this place out and will definitely be going back on future trips to Seattle.

Totally worth the walk in the cold rain from the hotel to get a hot and spicy Louisiana style dog!

I am disappointed because 8$ hot dog sausage was cold. Would not be coming here again
