My husband and son were in the area attending a car show and afterwards my son was "starving" and couldn't make it any further without a meal. My husband stopped by Al's to grab him a hot dog. Success was a calm ride home with a happy and full five year old. My husband enjoyed his rosemary chicken sausage with peppers and onions at home and said it and the customer service were excellent!

The best dogs in town after any event! There's always a line here for a reason. Definitely worth the wait

The basic beef dog

Food is amazing. Smells amazing and is a great deal. Chips and a drink are included, staff are nice, and pretty fast to make the hot dog. 10/10 experience

Solid tasty food. Nothing crazy, but hits the spot! He definitely saved me, as mostly everyone else was closed due to the President's Day holiday. From seeing other low reviews, I think sometimes you can come across consistency problems... It happens. And, as is human nature, we are much more likely to complain than we are to praise. Al is genuinely friendly, you don't get the car salesman vibe from him whatsoever. He has great customer service too. He was out of his regular bread, so he was giving his customer 2-for-1's!

Came for the car show, stayed for Al's. Hickory Bacon Beer Brat is fantastic. Kiddo got the all beef hot dog and said he liked it better than any hot dog he's had before. Spouse got the cheesesteak and was pleased with how tender and flavorful it was. And you couldn't ask for friendlier folks at a food truck. I'd definitely grab a treat here before a game without question in the future.

Got their caribou hot dog at Lumen Field when we were getting vaccinated.. the aroma was too inviting for us to pass by and not stop for hot dogs! Initially I was skeptical since he got the caribou sausages from a packet but with all the mushroom pepper, mustard ketchup dressing that hot dog tasted nice.. i would not hesitate to grab a quick snack from these guys if i find their food truck around!

Went by Al's gourmet sausages before a Mariners game I was going too with some friends. They always set up shop at the events downtown so the truck is always at the Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders games. They parked in the alleyway right outside the left field entrance at Safeco field (I refuse to call it t mobile park) and right outside the pro shop at century link (I refuse to call it lumen field). I ordered the beer brat and it was amazing! The brat was perfectly cooked, and they had an assortment of toppings you can choose from to add to your hot dog. I got mine with peppers and mushrooms (an extra dollar) and grilled onions, pickled jalapeños and ketchup/spicy mustard. It was amazing and definitely will continue stopping by here on my way to Mariners games whenever I go!

Al's is worth a visit, even when the Mariners and Seahawks are out of town (or losing). As good as Seattle sausages get. Don't forget to add cream cheese.

The mecca of the Seattle Dog, Al's is a staple after any sporting event or show in Sodo. Located w not one but two stands in the alley adjacent to Century Link, the aroma of these dogs will meet you from blocks away. There are others selling hot dogs on that street, but Al's is the only one you want to go to. Add the cream cheese for $1.00, get Caramelized onions and jalapeños, a little sriracha and you are in for a treat. The same people have been running that stand for as long as I can remember and they are extremely generous and kind. Additionally, the quality never lacks and these dogs are consistently perfect every time I've ever ordered them. Thank you guys for being awesome. 10/10

Wow al is doing amazing things ! His food truck was parked right outside lumen field vaccine site so the staff and the patients are able to grab some food after a hard day at hard or after getting their vaccine . The staff was very very friendly . They gave right reconditions . We got the cheese steak which was HUGE and so tasty . We also got the classic Seattle dog and we can put our own toppings on it so you can decide how little or how much you want .

Me and Al. Great guy who hand makes the sausages and meats.

Beware the veggie dog! It was egregiously spicy. There needs to be some indication/consent if you're serving food that spicy.

One of our first stops on our Seattle trip was Dog In The Park. While this place may look a bit…read moresketchy, it's a well-known brand throughout the city with multiple locations, serving up great dogs! A Seattle dog is a quintessential food item while visiting Seattle. I am happy to say the Dog In The Park Seattle Dog lived up to my expectations. A crispy grilled dog, cream cheese, and plenty of grilled veggies. There are loads of toppings to choose from, too, but the young man serving up the dogs recommended just plain for the first time to really get the classic experience. I think some light mustard and maybe some saurkraut would have been a great addition. Friendly service and good recommendations for a first-timer, though. This location is located not too far from Pike Place and Westlake station. Convenient location. The price is great too! Go enjoy a Dog In The Park!

I went with the veggie chipotle dog for a spicy kick and it was decent. I do appreciate that the veggie dog is the same price as the normal hot dogs- it's rare to find that. I think the condiments are what makes a hot dog, so having mustards and sauerkraut on the side was nice (no extra charge). The guy working was pretty efficient and accommodated our request of no cream cheese. Overall, it filled a craving, but I wouldn't say I'm running back to get another one.

This is it, the emperor of Seattle dive bars. Inimitable. Sui generis. My favorite place to hang…read moreout in downtown Seattle when bad decisions and fun are on my agenda. Time without number I've found myself here, be that first dates, my birthday, or New Year's Eve, and it always feels like home. If home were a clown/carnival themed acid trip of a pinball arcade bar, that is. And what's not to love about that? The bar tenders here are cool and friendly people who pour drinks with a heavy hand, and understand the mission: get the patrons who want to be drunk, drunk. The first few times I visited, I felt a leeriness about ordering food. But once I got over myself, I kinda fell in love with the menu, and I've probably eaten everything on it (including the clam chowder). Their hot dogs are wonders to behold, utter symphonies for the senses, and I refuse to visit Shorty's without getting one. Best dog in Seattle? Why yes. I think so. To paraphrase one reviewer: "Take your date here. If she doesn't like it, she's lame and you shouldn't waste your time with her anyways." Shorty's is the bomb.

The male bartender was extremely rude. As soon as we walked in, he aggressively asked for our IDs…read more Then, while my cousins and I were looking through the food menu, he barely gave us a chance to read it before saying, "I'll take whoever is ready to make my life easier." That's not something paying customers want to hear. I ended up ordering a drink for myself while the guys were looking at the menu because they were doing a food hop, and us girls were doing a bar hop. During that time, the bartender came back to our table at least four times within about five minutes. Instead of being attentive, it felt pushy and aggressive, especially since they were still deciding what they wanted. I've been here a few times before, but after this experience, this will definitely be my last visit.

Pretty much all the sportsbars and restaurants nearby were packed, so we decided to just walk to the Arena and eat inside. Then I noticed this little hotdog stand. The lady running the store was extremely nice, especially to my daughter (which always wins extra points from me!). I of course ordered the Seattle dog. They had various condiments and toppings available on the side including ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, pickles and pickled carrots. It was just the perfect amount of food with lots of flavors. After we were done eating, we came by the stand to grab some napkins and the lady asked us how the food was. I thought it was a nice gesture. She really didn't have to say anything and she had quite a few customers in line. She was able to multitask and provide excellent service to every customer. This is a hotdog stand. There are no tables. Condiments and napkins are all self-service. Each hot dog was $12 (this already includes sales tax and tipping is optional). I highly recommend if you are here for concerts or kraken games and want some good food that won't cost you an arm and a leg inside the arena.

Several different options with hotdogs and polish sausage- my absolute favorites are the Seattle Dog and the Midnight Sophie. Whichever you choose- don't forget to ask for some of their homemade slaw to top that beautiful dog! I first found Secret Sausage outside the Owl and Thistle in Pioneer Square. Then outside the Clink after a game. It was an elusive Seattle street food treat- and in a lot of ways still is. They've expanded in recent years so sometimes you can find them at Microsoft campuses on occasion too. But I'll let you in on a little secret... they have a deal with the Thunderbird Tavern in Ballard. So if you're craving a Seattle Dog on a random Tuesday at 8:30pm for example... high tail it to the Thunderbird and get you one! Especially on a warm Summer evening: a Seattle dog with extra slaw, a glass of your favorite cold drink and a spot on the back patio - doesn't that sound so good right now?! Another favorite with Secret Sausage is The Firlander Sauce. While I personally am not a big fan of hot sauce, this spicy condiment has been a staple in our family for several years now. I've been told it makes a good gourmet hotdog over-the-top good! Ha! So if you're a hot sauce fan- it's a must try. Locally owned small business with a commitment to quality. Every hotdog I've ever had from them (ahem, and there have been a few over the years,) has been consistently good. Seriously, the best!
