Sweet Dogs

Found this place searching for some thing to eat on Google. Out of town and looking for something good to try and man these hot dogs were legit!! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was as good as it looked. The dog tasted like a Costco wiener, and the bun and toppings were all really high quality. Gonna recommend this place to all my friends and would definitely come back again!

Roger cooked up and put the Dolphin Dog perfectly! My first time here and he made it feel like I’ve been there a thousand times. Definitely gives the local vibe this city has lost.

A thousand thanks, Roger, for your attention and for making the effort to turn our hot dog into a Venezuelan style one. When we arrived, we noticed they didn’t offer what we’re used to, and Roger asked how we usually like it, he prepared it for us, and even though some ingredients were different, I absolutely LOVED it! Excellent quality, perfectly cooked it definitely makes a difference and thank you for the popcorn with different flavors they were amazing and delicious!

Felt like having a hot dog today, so I searched Google and came across sweet dogs Glad I made the choice of going there. The owner was really helpful and making choices. The atmosphere was awesome. I would definitely say go to this place and try the food. You won’t be disappointed. I don’t have a picture to post because I ate it too quickly.

Victor was an amazing host and the food is always so good - best hot dog spot in town !!

First time coming here and I was blown away. Made me feel like I was right at home and had an AMAZING hot dog. Flavor was unlike anything I’ve ever had on a hot dog, simply next-level. Must try!

Love this place. Nice snap on the dog. creative combination of toppings and a bun that held it all. Hot dogs and sausages aren't the only thing that they sell here, so don't forget some of their flavorful popcorns and other treats. They make great gifts.

Do yourself a favor and eat here. This hot dog? Legendary. One of the best I've ever had in my entire life. If you skip this place, you're literally robbing yourself of a fire meal. The owners are super cool, the vibe is cozy, and the energy is just friendly all around. Why are you still reading this? GO. Everything is amazing -- go go go!!!!!!!!!! I got the U- and my partner got the Dolphins one. GOOOOOOOO dont think about it.

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing price. The location is small but excellent ambiance as you're surrounded by Miami sports all around. I got the Miami Marlins dog and it was excellent.

I will not lie, I am pretty indifferent about hot dogs. But these were the exception! The hot dog itself was high quality and really flavorful and could truthfully stand on its own. But the toppings were also really delicious (the mac and cheese specifically... and the crispy bacon!!) and the FRIES!! My favorite kind: crispy, battered, and piping hot. Part of me regrets not trying the cheese fries cuz I'm sure they slap, but also I was already so full I might not have made it home lol. Employees were really friendly and helpful-- overall a wonderful experience!!!!

Come with me to Sweet Dogs located in Coral Gables. Right on 8th Street is this small joint with incredible hot dog options. Given the title "Best Hot Dogs in the 305," you can taste why. I found out about Sweet Dogs because a friend posted them. I was amazed by how good they looked. I went on a Sunday afternoon with my brother, and it was empty. We were kindly greeted by Angel, who works there. I ordered the Dolphins Dog and The Mac Dog. The Dolphin Dog has grilled ham, smoked bacon, melted mozzarella cheese, pineapple, homemade sauce, and papitas. The Mac Dog is made with Mac and cheese, Parmesan cheese, and garlic croutons. They use a Polish sausage for their dogs, and for me, this makes them incredible; it has excellent flavor and is juicy. My brother devoured the Dolphin dog, I got a bite, and the flavor was great. I've had Mac and cheese hot dogs before, but The Mac Dog is taking the #1 spot. The buns they use are nice and soft, the Mac and cheese are creamy, and the crushed croutons add a nice texture and flavor. We also ordered their fries, and they were perfectly crispy. Overall, Sweet Dogs was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was terrific, and I will for sure be back.

The outrageous # of 5 star reviews posted here for Sweet Dogs are for a good, no great, reason. My wife and I had been talking about coming here for years but tonight was the night we both finally decided to give it a go. Each of us enjoyed THE ABSOLUTE BEST hot dog that either of us have EVER eaten in our lives...The Dolphin Dog. GOOD GOD!! It was un-frickin'-believeably delish along with their damn tasty cheese fries and props out to our cook/server, Angel, who did a totally stellar job providing outstanding customer service. I grew up in Westchester eating and enjoying Arbetter's hotdogs for many years but quite honestly, the taste & quality of Sweet Dogs just completely blows the doors off of any hot dog competitor in Miami, imo, including Arbetter's. It's not very cheapy-cheapy but that's precisely why it's so good and you definitely get what you pay for as far as quality and quantity. I'll be a customer 4 life and will be back to try The Mac Dog soon! Stay tuned.

Whole in the wall! Most is made to order so you'mre guaranteed something fresh. I wish it was nicely decorated on the inside but it's underwhelming just like walking into a regular shmegular countertop cafe, I love the uniqueness of the product tho! Definitely treat yourself to it at least once!

Wow. I mean. I'm really at a loss for words. That doesn't really happen to me much but I must say this place is a hidden gem. I've lived in the area for YEARS and yesterday was my first time trying this spot. From the customer service, to the concept of the restaurant, to the flavors.... Everything was 10/10. We had The Sweet Dog and The Dolphins, both cut in half so that we could each try it and wow they did not disappoint. Every once in a while I crave a hot dog, and these fulfilled my cravings and more. The decor around the small restaurant is nostalgic as their theme is "Miami Home Teams" so they got the Wade and Bosh Jerseys and a few OG Dolphins ones as well. I can't wait to come back here and try more flavors.

Excellent as always! Always go for The Mac (which is amazing) but switched it up today and got The Dolphin.... YUMBELIEVABLE. This place is always excellent. Thanks again! No pics, because I was too busy scarfing it down.

Ugh I've been wanting to try this place forever. Parking was a total pain in the butt! This is a hole in the wall. Smells like fried food, but it's not gross. The server was so nice and helpful. I ordered the Heat hotdog. I really didn't care for it. The chili was not my favorite at all. I took off the chili the most I could and it was good. The hotdog was great. Mac and cheese was VERY good. The popcorn options were yummy. The guy let me try them but for the price of a bag, I skipped. Will I go again? Yes. But I will not order the heat.

Dynamite hot dog restaurant with fantastic popcorn too. I really enjoyed the service here as a first time visitor, I was guided with a review of all the options. I went with a traditional hot dog with mac and cheese topping and it was outstanding. Although I should have ordered the UM version, I hate to admit that as much as I love the Hurricanes, the UM dog did not have the toppings I was interested in.

Really, really GREAT hot dogs!! Pick one of their creations or create your own - either way, you won't be disappointed!! The quality of all the ingredients are top notch. But wait...there's more! Lol The fries, the shakes (I had a little taste test), and gourmet popcorn are #chefskiss!!

If you don't know, you need to! This little gem is tucked into an easily ignored plaza on 8th but the food, service and quality cannot and should not be ignored. Try the popcorn while you're there and don't be afraid to ask questions about the menu! Everything is super unique and the owner was there to answer questions and provide samples! Excellent, 5-star find!

Sweet Dogs is the spot for amazing hot dogs or popcorn! It's a small joint that houses specialty hot dogs named after local sports teams or schools and amazing popcorn combos. They also have custom hot dogs if you're not into all the toppings, as well as other desserts like soft serve! Chef Jeo is incredible - so funny and incredibly great service. I went with a friend who had visited once before, and he remembered him after that one encounter months back. We ended up getting the Heat, the U, a side of mac and cheese, the Calle Ocho mix (Oreo, cheddar, and butter popcorn), and their new Crunchy Mix - Cinnamon Toast Crunch popcorn! Both hot dogs were so good. I preferred the U, but the Heat was also tasty with the chili and jalapeños. I loved the addition of corn chips on top for added crunch! The hot dogs had a great snap and were so juicy. I didn't get a chance to try the mac and cheese, but my friend enjoyed it. The popcorns are so delicious and addicting - not too sweet, with just the right mix of sweet and salty. I'm definitely coming back whenever I'm in the area and craving a good hot dog!

Good food, tight space, but friendly staff!! Hubby and I were in Miami for a long layover so we decided to doodle around town!! Other Yelpers gave this place great reviews so we had to see what the fuss was all about. It was about a 10 minute ride from the airport in a little strip mall. Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner. He gave us a review of the menu and let us sample the popcorn. I ended up ordering 3 bags ($8 each) of popcorn to share with the family when I got back. We also ordered the mac and cheese (SUPER almost too cheesy), the sweet dog ( bacon, sauce and crunchy chinese noodles), the Heat (beans, cheese, guac, corn chips), Mozz sticks and fries. There was very little seating, but there was only one other couple there so there was space for us to sit. Although hubby and I thought the food was good, I probably wouldn't go back again. It was sort of a novelty experience!!!

So wonderful, the best hot dogs in town. Excellent service, attention and food. For Sunday afternoon, to eat special food and good time.

Hot diggity Sweet Dogs it is...! This place has to be one of my fav cheap eats of this Summer..! These "go big or go home" type of hot dogs are pure hot dog delight..! Place - Small with limited seating but clean; and what it lacks in size, it makes up for in service & food. Owner - Took care of us and he was friendly, welcoming and what I liked - He's proud of his product and stands by its quality. He gave us the 411 on how to order and how we can curtail our order to our bellies contentment. Popcorn - Samples of their gourmet popcorn are giving out while your hot dogs are being prepared. Tried - Calle 8 mix (chocolate oreo coated popcorn, white cheddar & butter popcorn)...butter-licious...! My fav - Sweet Mix (candy coated guava popcorn, white cheddar & butter popcorn)...if you take abuela a bag, you may become her favorite..! The popcorn bags run about $8/each. Hot dogs - Ordered *Miami Vice ($7.95) - met my suggested daily calories with this one..! The combo of the chili, slaw, cheese, onion & corn chips coulda been a meal of its own and when blended with the 1/4 lb. Nathan's hot dog, it hit all the food senses...delicious...! *Reg. Hot dog (about $3.50) - Simple, hearty and foodie satisfaction with every bite. *Saw - Italian Sausage with peppers and onions and it took me back to Chicago. The grilled to perfection peppers/onions along with the well seasoned sausage is a definite must try next time. If you're into hot dogs like I am, this place is a must try 'cause there's nothing out there like it. Not a 5-Star yet 'cause I need to go back to try other things...Bon Appétit...!

Love love loved everything about this little hot dog shop! We went here on a hungry whim after a long walk by the beach. The person at the counter, Gio, is extremely friendly and hospitable! We went there almost around closing time but Gio was super accommodating and made us feel welcome. The dogs are fabulous! Depending on whether you like your hot dogs simple or loaded, these guys have everything to offer! For instance, the Miami heat dog is for the loaded hot dog lovers and it sure doesn't disappoint! Super flavorful and generously sized, the weiners here are a notch above your regular hot dogs! Also, don't forget to pick up some of their in-house popcorn! They come in an array of flavors and are absolutely delicious! We tried the guava and the cinnamon toast crunch flavors and they're epic! Can't wait to return to Sweet Dogs when we go to the beach next time!

Me and my wife came here today. And I'll admit I'm not a hotdog guy , but Jesus this was great! Between the food being unfathomably good. Gio was a complete pleasure to talk to. He had us laughing the whole time, as he single handedly executed an afternoon rush. As a chef I'm impressed with the resolve he has when it comes to ensuring quality food is being served.

My mom and I were craving a hot dog and saw this place has great reviews. Don't judge a book by its cover this place was FANTASTIC. Absolutely delicious Marlins hot dogs and fries. Very happy and will be back.

If you love hot dogs... You gotta come here!!! This place was AWESOME!! It's got the look of a hole in the wall joint but it's alot cleaner and newer looking! :) It doesn't have alot of seating just stools at the bar looking into the kitchen and stools looking out into the parking lot. But don't let the tiny interior and they look of the area throw you off... This place is worth it. While the bf and I were looking through the menu, the owner came up to us and totally sold the place. He explained everything, answered all the questions that we had and even have us samples of the popcorn they have in house. BTW... If you love popcorn... Come and get some! Totally delicious! This was one of the best popcorns I've had in some time. 2 thumbs up! I had the FIU and the you can tell they put some love and effort into it. The onions were sauteed nicely and were seasoned properly! I hate it when they sauteed but don't season. Every single item on that dog was seasoned properly. It was a delicious bite from the first to the last bite... And believe it or not the cream cheese added such a nice creaminess to the entire thing. So delicious!! And let me tell you about the bun... It was not your normal boring hot dog bun, I think he called it a butter bun and they grilled it on the flat top and added such a nice texture. The bun has a slight chew and that amazing crunch from being grilled... So delicious! As you can tell... Everything was delicious! ;D I really wish that I had one right now as I'm writing this review... I'm drooling just thinking about it...lol My bf got the Mr. Chili and he loved everything about it as well! They make the chili with black and made in house baked beans...my bf gave it a 5/5. He especially loved the meatiness of the actual hot dog. You could taste the quality of the dog... Just meat and no fillers. We also got their Italian sausage dog. That sausage was delicious! If you love Italian sausage I highly recommend it. I got jalapenos added to it as I love some spice in my food. It's a toss up as to which dog I liked more.. This one or the FIU...:) Am I going to be back.. Heck yeah!!! Now that I found a good hot dog place not too far from the apartment... I'll be a regular for sure. :)

Customer service was AMAZING. The owner was very nice and gave us various delicious pop corn samples while we decided what hot dog to eat. The hot dogs are hands down delicious! Their Oreo popcorn is delish as well! There was outdoor seating accommodations due to COVID-19. They also sell great colada's!

Needed quick food after a long flight. Found sweet dogs on Yelp and lived up to the reviews. Good dogs and chili.

Amazing service and delicious hotdog. The freshness of the ingredients and flavor of the hotdog were top notch. It may look like a hole in the wall but it is the real deal. Very comfortable dinning experience.

Doesn't look like much when you walk past, but I was practically dying of hunger so I popped in. The definition of a hole-in-the-wall. I got the regular hamburger and wow... there are no words. A classic burger done right. Crisp bun, juicy patty, stuffed with all the essentials (ketchup, shredded lettuce, tomato, and pickles). There's about a million options available between the menu board and wall full of specials, so it can get a little overwhelming, but you really can't go wrong. Not much else to say besides go see for yourself! You won't be disappointed.

If dogs could talk,they'd bark delicious woof woof.. I've been in miami for so long and I failed to discover this place earlier. First, I love love the staff. The young man at the register greeted us with a smile and an invitation to all the delicious hot dog choices. We ordered the Miami Heat topped with chilli. Muy delicioso!!! Every bite you take it gets better and better, but also becomes sad that it's almost done. To top it off,the little snickers bar was a great add on. The fries came straight from the fryer and tasted just as good.. The place may be tiny on the inside but the food and flavors have plenty of heart! The entire places have moments of Miami's past,from sports to pictures of old miami buildings. Tourists and locals alike need to visit this place!

Why 5 stars? Because there isn't a better cheat meal on Earth. --- --- --- When I am trying to be healthy, I crave carbs like there's literally a satanic force inside my belly that feeds off the souls of bread, chips and cheese. I don't often crave hot dogs, but after a few days of clean eating, I feel like I'd pay $1,000 for a gourmet hot dog, if I know it didn't cancel out my whole week of behaving myself. Sweet Dogs specifically, is the greatest cheat meal of all the cheat meals in the land. These gourmet dogs are not your run-of-the-mill Oscar Meyer Weiners. This meat is legit, but it just so happens to be in the same general form of what you'd see at a no frills BBQ cookout. It's just oh-so-much better. I took a 15 minute Uber ride here from my hotel, strictly for the purpose of grabbing a late lunch, and then heading back to my room. There's not much to the interior - you walk up to a bar where you order, and there's a few chairs to sit at. I was fortunately here during an off-peak time, but I'd guess that most people order these to go? Either way, it's worth whatever you need to do. I ordered the Dolphin, which has bacon, mozzarella cheese, pineapple sauce and papitas. It was possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me. I also ordered the mac-n-cheese, which comes with croutons and parmesan cheese. Hey, I have a question: how come nobody in the history of Earth has invented mac-n-cheese with croutons and parm until now? Sweet Dogs, thousands of years from now, when future mankind looks back at this era, they will speak of the Sweet Dogs mac-n-cheese in the same vein as we look at the wheel and the telephone. It's going to be hard not going here for every single future visit to Miami. I wish I could go every day until I've tried everything on the menu.

Little hole in the wall with a large selection of hot dogs Their menu is a true representation of miami with their south Florida sports team names included in the menu. We had the marlins and dolphins hot dogs. Both are a great size and we're delicious! The Marlins hotdog had sweet plantain it's a small venue but there are two outdoor tables. Support local businesses! Also the employees were very sweet.

You gotta try it. Unique style and flavors. In the end, it's a hot dog, but they take their job seriously, and it's a Miami legend.

Found this place just by luck, traveling here from Los Angeles and had the urge to eat a good snack. Being from Los Angeles we have a lot of variety of hot dogs, I walked in here with a little hesitation. But let me say I was amazed not just by the food but by the attention we were given by the restaurant owner. Super friendly guy, gave us a run down on what he offers and he even gave us a sample of hot popcorn which by the way was super delicious. If you can stop here, do it!! I super recommend.

We are always out for a drive on the weekends to try something new. Miami has a wild abundance of food variations. No need to eat the SAME-THING always! Sweet Dogs was amazingly great! We would definitely come back again and check out other items on the menu. So worth the drive :) Oh, and don't forget to grab a bag of popcorn, my personal favorite "Calle 8 mix" !!

This place is a hidden gem that my brother noticed while driving home. We finally decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed at all. THey have great quality hot dogs with delicious toppings. Be warn this hot dogs are massive and be prepared to get dirty lol. As soon as yOu walk in you are greeted by the people working there and I was so impressed how welcoming they were. They explained the menu and exceptional customer service. We decided to try the chili cheese fries, Italian sausage dog, and the Mac and cheese dog. Absolutely delicious dogs with lots of toppings but it all balanced off.

This hole in the wall joint definitely lives up to the hype. We met the owner, Victor, and he did a really good job of explaining the menu. He also showed passion and it seemed he really cared and enjoyed what he does for a living. My friend ordered the Miami Heat (which Victor said was the most popular). While I ordered the Florida Panthers which was a hot dog topped with grilled ham, sauteed peppers & onions, sesame seeds, sweet relish, sweet & sour sauce, and la choy noodles which added an extra crunch all in a lightly toasted hot dog bun. When the food came out, I almost didn't know how to eat it! The portions were passive. When I took a bite, all the flavors came bursting out and complemented each other so well. The saltiness of the hot dog with peppers and onions mixed with the sweet relish and sweet & sour sauce and the crunch of the noodles topped it off so well. If I am ever in the area again, I will make sure to swing by this joint!

Sweet Dogs has excellent hot dogs and service! As good as the food is, the owner, Victor, is even better. Super nice guy. This was my first time to Sweet Dogs. As soon as I walked thru the door, he greeted me with a smile and asked if it was my first time and how I heard about them. He explained the menu to me very patiently. I decided on the Dog of the Day, which was the Mr. Chili and only $5. I got my dog fried and added coleslaw, which I'm glad I did because it's made in-house and is really good. I loved it. He also gave me some homemade gourmet popcorn to taste. My favorite was the Oreo popcorn, I will probably return for some of that alone. He gives you a mini candy bar with your food. It's little customer service touches like that I appreciate. Highly recommend Sweet Dogs.

OMG one of the best hot dogs I've ever had. Met the members of our HOT DOG CLUB for lunch there today and all four of us thoroughly enjoyed our hot dogs and we all got something different. I had Wednesday's special the MR. CHILL and it was terrific. No skimpy little weiners either...these were big and juicy and flavorful. Generous with the toppings but they were also willing to customize as well...deleted what some did not choose to include. I actually had to cut mine with a fork and knife. The guys working there were so nice too. Worth the drive from South Kendall and from Ft Lauderdale. Will definitely be back.

I'm giving 5 stars for my experience but 0 for the abysmal parking lot this great establishment is located in. I say this because the horrible excuse for parking in this small plaza was packed so full my car literally had 2 inches of free space on either side before almost hitting other cars trying to squeeze out after finding no empty spaces. You're better off parking at the cvs down the street and walking. Now that my rant is over--Victor the owner is a friendly guy who was really welcoming as soon as I walked in and helped me to ultimately follow my heart and my stomach and choose the marlin dog. I did not go wrong, and also went with the mac and cheese as a side which was a little runny compared to other mac and cheese's that I've eaten but tasty nonetheless. They even snuck in a Twix bar for dessert haha, what a treat. This joint is open 7 days a week AND open til 3am on the weekends, couldn't ask for more.

This place is small and quaint. Victor the owner is spot on with his customers. The real clincher are the hot dogs. Made to order just like you want it. Highly recommended

So Absolutely Disgusting Would not eat there again But if you are drunk it is better than eating out of a trash can

The food here is just incredible. Definitely a nice little hole in the wall with options for anyone. I personally love the popcorn they make and you can never go wrong with the hotdogs. The Mac n' cheese is also a low key move so don't skip out on it. Just be ready for the limited space inside so keep that in mind when visiting but I definitely will continue to recommend this place if your looking for something to break the routine.

Sweet dogs is the d'édition of a hidden gem. I first discovered this restaurant a few months ago, & am so happy I did. It seems like it used to be more popular years ago, but traffic seems to have died down. This small business is really worth your money. I stay basic and get a polish dog, and it is delicious everytime. The bun is always perfectly toasted and crispy on the outside!!!

Epic just epic try it if you haven't and get the popcorn on your way out. Classic sweet dog all day. Chris helped us and immediately made us feel welcome and taken care of. Keep going to Sweet Dogs.

What a gem to Miami! Prolific Chris greeted us, recommended a few dogs... sweet dog special was delicious and the mozzarella sticks yum yum! Truly a nice surprise and will go back in tge neighborhood.

This place makes insanely good hot dogs. They've got a ton of different choices and really cool ingredients to choose from too. No matter what you're in the mood for, you can pretty much get a hot dog to scratch that itch. Great fries, sides, and milk shakes also. Service is also always great. Can't say enough good things about this place.

we were just getting off a cruise and stopped in great customer service angel was great highly suggest stopping in and getting a Mr. chill so good. Not to mention the popcorn they make sooo good

OK so I went to this location after discovering it on yelp. I saw where it was that on the map and when I thought went asap first thing Saturday morning arriving in a small shopping center on eighth Street. I had seen the pictures of these incredible hotdogs and I was here as I ordered my Mr. chili I have to judge a hotdog establishment by the chili dog of course. The owner was very nice and very polite I love the social distancing on the seating and a mask request of course. Now the food I have been to many other places gourmet hotdogs Columbian hotdogs new york hotdogs but I have to say the combinations that they have here at Sweet dogs are incredible. I have to try them all but the Mr. chili that I had now that's a chili dog actually was very good it wasn't spicy but it wasn't tamed either It had flavor I love all the extra cheese on top and some of the goodies in there that I can't even tell what it was but I have to see the quality of the hot dog was amazing and it is a very large hot dog. I got there and I want to order two and he quickly advised one I did try the mac & cheese which is amazing it is very well done. They also have flavored popcorn I'll let you discover that when you go it is really good I bought a bag it's excellent. We had chili cheese fries too they were just as good as the chili dogs amazing I love that they have some kind of white cheese at the mix in with the chili sauce it's just not regular cheddar it is serious it had also some special kind of sauce on the cheese I don't know what it was but it was delicious I definitely am going back this weekend. Love the Decour love the establishment love all the sports memorabilia and I love the staff very friendly they have also outdoor seating to so it's pretty cool. This is a good one for me this is five stars that's on yummy it is.

I need more of everything... hot dog? Soda? Mac and cheese? Ice cream? Please keep feeding me

I had both the Dolphin and the U. Both were incredible and unique flavors. Let me start by saying that the owner of this joint really impressed me with his hospitality and care for his customers. I came in here on two occasions and both times the owner and the employees were genuinely happy and friendly. The owner personally filled up my water cup 3x without me even asking. What a good guy. Thanks, man. I wish we could grab a beer sometime, haha. The environment seems very convivial and family-oriented. All Sweet Dogs are clearly 100% Beef, delicious and massive hot dogs (the quality borders on a fine sausage, even.) Seriously, I don't usually like the taste of hot dogs, but these are really good and remind me of high quality Jewish NYC dogs. The Dolphin came with Grilled Ham, Smoked, Bacon, Melted Mozzarella Cheese, Pineapple, Home Sauce, and Papitas. Mmmm. So good. With that many flavors, I can't really describe it other than to say you've got to try it. We went back to get the U: Smoked Bacon, Sauteed Onions, Sauerkraut, Chopped Tomato, Chip Salsa, Corn Chips. This one I liked even better than the first. I think the Sauerkraut & Salsa really balanced out the fattier elements of the dog in a way that the Dolphin, while very excellent, did not. This joint is great. Come in for a dog, you will not be disappointed.

Sweet dogs? Why not Sweet Dawgz? The evolution of the hot dog has reached its pinnacle. What originated as convenient food on the go, competing street vendors, hot dog versus pizza, has now become a real meal. Well, to a majority of New Yorkers or Chicagoans, it is lunch probably more than once a week. Here in Miami, not so much, unless you visit the courthouse chronically like a repeat offender. Coming out to Sweet Dogs was a challenge to me. After all, if you've had one hot dog, you pretty much have had them all. My contenders may say, it is not about the hot dog, but the toppings, to what I may reply "do you want your coffee with sugar or not? Cream?" Coffee is coffee. Also, hot dogs' firm rooting in American blue collar lore made me feel that I may enjoy the same delicacy in any street car, in any part of town, anytime I wanted. But how far from the truth that is. Before setting foot on Sweet Dogs, I had read the menu online. The multitude of toppings on the dogs was like opening your eyes under muddy water. Trying to imagine what a hot dog may taste like is very difficult, and probably a challenge not worthy of your time. But what the brain can't decipher, your taste buds will decode. And that is precisely what makes Sweet Dogs one of a kind. If you already went crazy for sushi, cupcakes, burgers, Eating House, and recently going crazy for donuts, well, let me introduce you to hot dogs. First of all, these hot dogs are a meal. And messy. But they are pure genius. I have tried several already, and trust me, they are all good. Looking at the menu is daunting, and ordering will be like jumping in the dark, but you will be rewarded. To get the full experience, you need to order one of the team dogs, otherwise you just wasted a perfectly good hot dog like if you wasted a perfectly good beer. The closest hint I can give you is the following: The Sweet dog and the Panther are Asian style, the Heat and the U are Mexican style, the Marlin is Cuban style and the Dolphin is Sweet Italian style. My favorite dog is the Dolphin and, unlike the Dolphins my generation grew up with, this Dolphin gets a ring. The melted cheese over the pineapple is delicious. Add to that the smoked bacon and the grilled ham, which complement the hot dog majestically and anonymously. Plus, the house sauce jells all the ingredients together. And if that is not enough, string potatoes top it all. Magic. Added bonus: you can have your hot dogs grilled for a caramelized surface, or deep fried, for texture and flavor. I prefer mine deep fried, having my latest one fried till it ripped, imitating the famous New Jersey dogs. In honest excitement, all I got to say is you can only find it at Sweet Dogs. Sweet dogs also sells a mean milk shake, corn dogs, French fries, baked beans, sausages, mac and cheese, etc. Like that line from that movie, "you my dog ..."

All the hotdogs were excellent. The service was very nice as well. I'd give it 5 stars but deducted one star as they are not kosher hot dogs as advertised and noted in an earlier review. Nathan's does not make kosher 1/4 pound hot dogs.

Just imagine everything you could hope to find in a hot dog, that is what Victor Ruiz has done here at Sweet Dogs. It's not just your typical, I mean sure, if that's what you're all about, then go for it, they'll make one right for you. But this menu has brought a local feel to hot dogs. The names are enticing, everything from The Heat to The U to The Panther. It's delicately awesome. And what goes into these dogs is flavorful and unique. I tried The Marlin, and as tasty as it was, I can't wait to return to try the whole entire hot dog team. Oh, and you get a mini candy to go with it? Don't mind if I do. And what goes better with hot dogs than ice cream and milkshakes? Or homemade mac n cheese, seasoned fries? Yum, yum and yum. As the mastermind behind this hot dog venue, what Victor Ruiz is doing is amazing and he needs to keep right at it. Talking to him, you can tell that he is one passionate fellow and his enthusiasm helps make this such a great establishment.
