Good Dog Houston

"Face it: For many kids, hot dogs are often at the top of their favorite foods list. Head to Good Dog Houston, where dogs can be as adventurous or as plain as they would like. Choose from the festive menu, which boasts sandwiches, chili dogs, Chi-town style hot dogs, corn dogs, and its intriguing Benedict Franklin, a hot dog topped with a fried egg, brown sugar ham, a mustard cheese sauce, and garlic aioli. Meanwhile, kids can enjoy “corny dogs,” sliders, mac and cheese, tenders, or a “plain good dog” with their choice of french fries or apple slices. Top off the experience with a milkshake or a scoop of Amy’s ice cream." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

"While not a strictly vegetarian restaurant, it’s long been an open secret that this Heights mainstay’s tofu dogs steal the spotlight. Grab a stool at this diner-esque spot’s counter when the hankering for a chili dog hits. Good Dog’s Chili Cheese Please features a tofu frank smothered in mustard cheese sauce, onions, and two-bean Beyond Meat vegan chili." - Brianna Griff, Eater Staff

"When you’re tired of blowing your paycheck on berries and yogurt, head to Good Dog for the best Texas franks in Houston. Your kid will be into hot dogs or grilled cheese, both of which are served in baked buns that fit perfectly in their little hands. This Heights mainstay serves a ton of brews on tap and a slew of the best dogs, too. Go for the Guac-A-Dog, topped with creamy avocado and crisp jalapeños, or their sweet, homemade chow chow and briny bacon braised collards on the Southern Comfort Dog. Finish the night with a rocky road milkshake while your kids play board games out on the patio. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
