"I Dream of Weenie, East Nashville’s cute little vintage VW bus-turned-hot-dog-stand, turns out festive hot dogs with inventive toppings at appetizing prices. Every item rings up well under $10, including charcoal-grilled dogs topped with pimento cheese or chili cheese." - Kellie Walton

"More Like a Food Van It's not like the fleet of mobile trucks around town, because this hot dog purveyor working out of a VW bus stays parked in the heart of East Nashville’s Five Points. The menu includes tofu dogs as well as beef and turkey with variations such as the Rebel Yelp (topped with Tennessee hot chow chow, red onion, mustard and jalapeno). It also includes good people watching if you take your dinner to the adjacent grassy patch."

I Dream of Weenie is such a fun and unique spot in Nashville! My wife and I stopped by while exploring the area, and we were both really impressed. We each ordered hot dogs, and they were awesome — full of flavor and cooked just right. They have a great variety of toppings, so there’s something for everyone. We also tried the fried green tomatoes, and they were easily some of the best we’ve ever had — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about what they do and want you to have a good experience. They helped us decide what to order and made us feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that makes you smile as soon as you walk up. The setup is also super cute — it’s a little retro-looking food truck-style spot with outdoor seating that adds to the charm. It’s casual, fun, and full of personality. If you’re in Nashville and want something quick, delicious, and different from the usual, I Dream of Weenie is a must-visit. We’re already planning to come back next time we’re in town!

We intended on taking a food tour while in Nashville but time ran short. I noted this was one of the stops on the tour we were looking at, so when we wanted lunch one day we drove to the five points area. This neighborhood is well known for great food and the hot dogs didn't disappoint they were outstanding!! We sampled 3 different dogs they were generous in size and fairly priced. The staff was helpful and fast. Thanks again!!!

Absolutely delicious! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the chili cheese dog was packed with flavor. We also ordered a delicious bratwurst packed with spicy toppings, highly recommend. But the standout? The fried mac and cheese balls—seriously unforgettable. I couldn't stop talking about them all night. The prices are super reasonable, and the portions will definitely leave you full and satisfied. The staff were incredibly friendly and really took the time to make sure you got the exact hot dog you were craving. I can't wait to recommend this spot to everyone I know!

An East Nashville staple. There are many hotdog centric restaurants in Nashville but this one is hands down the one I believe to be the best. They also might be one of the oldest. Formerly located in a van (which you can still see out in front)the new brick and mortar is an excellent location that offers a fun quirky hangout for friends and family. Despite the hot dog focus my can't miss dish is the hashbrown casserole! Delicious toasted potato savory cheesy and great texture. You also can't miss the mac and cheese balls. Hotdog wise I really loved the Reuben and if you are really hungry the Mac and cheese dog is sloppy goodness. For dessert they have a nice selection of Mike's ice cream or delicious creamy homemade milk shakes. The staff have all been with Weenie for the long haul and really have a passion for this place that comes through in the food and every interaction. For grab and go sit down or just a snack you really need to make sure you stop in and support our favorite 5 points Weenie hut

Always a great time here! Corndog was the best I’ve ever tasted! Onion rings on point and hot dogs are delicious!

A true Nashville treasure and east Nashville gem. Been going to the tiny bus location for years and was disappointed when I drove by and saw it was gone. Until … I drove a bit further and saw the brick and mortar store. Love the new location. Super nice staff and hands down the best corn dog I’ve ever had (jalapeño ranch dipping was great!). If you haven’t , you must ! Sorry no photo of the food. I ate it all quite quickly … gnome for attention instead. Will be back again and again.

I am visiting from California and saw this place on highly recommended locations to try. I was not disappointed! We found the original location and were disappointed for a minute as it looked closed. Closer inspection revealed that they moved across the street, a few doors down and we found it! The vw body is out front and you can take pictures with it. We liked the cheerful, cozy atmosphere inside, the service was great, the food came out quickly. Everything was fresh, tasted good and the fixings were great. I had the sauerkraut dog and the slaw dog. The kraut was delicious. The slaw was made from two kinds of shredded cheese with spicy sauce, it was different, bit I liked it. My husband had the corn dog which was crispy and delicious. They also have a little shelf area with merchandise which was adorable. This place is a must to visit, you won't be disappointed!

Been here 1x. Had pimento cheese dog which was very good. Cheerful service. Not too busy mid afternoon. Neat spot
