Hawk Dogs

"This stand located near Pike and Broadway late at night serves the Seattle dog upon which all others shall be judged. It’s perfectly salty and smoky, grilled with the meat split down the middle so that flames touch every inch. The translucent onions offer a pleasantly sweet jamminess that complements the gentle schmear of Philly cream cheese. There’s nothing fancy here, but when you’re five cocktails deep into a Capitol Hill bar crawl, it feels like you’re tasting the sausage of the gods. One that’s only $8." - gabe guarente, aimee rizzo

"Open until 2:30am Monday-Thursday, 3:30am Sunday, 4:00am Friday-Saturday Take a deep breath—you can do this. By “this,” we mean brave the anarchic apocalypse that is Capitol Hill after midnight. It’s worth it for Hawk Dogs, a hot dog cart that sets up shop right outside of Neumos and always draws a massive crowd. Weave your way through all the people, hop over that empty vodka bottle on the crosswalk, and get yourself a Polish link (or a Field Roast veggie dog) with cream cheese, jalapeño, and grilled onions on a toasted bun. Seattleites, this is your badge of honor." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"Spooky Dogs serves hot dogs and is a popular late-night spot. It has a lively atmosphere with a DJ and a crowd enjoying the food." - Sophie Grossman
