As someone from Chicago who was born and raised on Chicago Dogs- Daddy's Dogs will forever be remembered in my heart not only for their name but for their creativity of their dawgs! Who doesn't want to take the edge off with a tasty glizzy? I have ordered their wieners from Marathon Music Works and Geodis Stadium but nothing compares to the Nations! There was something very nostalgist eating my frank on a picnic bench outside with the sun shining down as I people watched. Highly recommend! I have tried their Georgia, Music City, Seattle and the Eloté Loaded Tots and I have to give it up for the Seattle because holy cow! Best weenie! Flavor was 12/10 - don't overlook the tots! I am not a tater person but they were fire! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my partner. We both got chili dogs (one with sour cream and one without). It's outdoor picnic style seating, great when the weather is warm! Service was great. A worker even gave us a free strawberry shake! Would recommend for a quick and fun bite! read more

The place to visit when you're craving a hot dog! Large, delicious hot dogs served on high quality, toasted buns. Outdoor seating only at this location. You order your food at one window, pickup your food at another. The menu is solid, with several classic dogs and also some with creative sets of toppings. Staff are friendly and helpful. On this visit, I had the New York Dog (sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard) with added jalapeños. It was delicious! I also added a side of their warm and creamy Mac and cheese. It was much tastier than I expected and I would order it again. read more

Yummy little place to stop off for a quick lunch! My husband had the Big Daddy Dog with no jalapeno - cream cheese, bacon, pickles, onion, and secret sauce. His dog was great! I wish I had got that one! I had Music City - bacon, cheddar cheese, onions, and BBQ sauce. This would have been really good, but it was cold! Freezing cold sauce, unmelted cheese. I ended up just eating the dog itself with a fork and knife since it was a big cold mess spilling all over the place. We got an order of tots, they were nothing special. I had a chocolate peanut butter whiskey shake that was awesome! She asked if I wanted an extra shot of peanut butter whiskey, why not? I shot it instead of mixing it in the with shake, delish :) The dogs here are huge and priced well. It's definitely a full meal! read more

Great late night snack! The restaurant looks like it's built from remnants of a gas station and has very unique and quirky decals throughout. Outside covered seating only. Very quick service. We ordered the elote dog and the Chicago dog, and really enjoyed both but especially the elote dog! Tots were as expected and good as well. Appreciate the creativity and convenience of this place! read more

Yum! Great hot dogs with some creative toppings. I had previously experience Daddy's Dogs at some events in the area, which was sort of a variation on a food truck experience. The location in The Nations is sort of like a permanent food truck installation, in the best way possible. First off, the hot dogs are really good. The meat is really flavorful and large, the bun is huge and good and they toast them nicely, and the range of toppings available is pretty great. I think there's just about something for everyone here when it comes to toppings. The only seating is outdoors, but much of that is covered. You order at a kiosk and pick up around the corner. The service was friendly and my order was prepared promptly. Everything is made to order, so it will be hot when you get it. I opted for the Carolina this time, and at events I've gotten the Music City. Both were excellent. Don't be fooled by the casual vibe of this place. In fact, embrace that casual vibe and come hang out for some tasty food and some fresh air. You might make a friend or two, and you'll surely be full from the large hot dogs and happy with the great taste. read more

While in Nashville me and some friends grabbed lunch here and were blown away by how good it was! I love hotdogs so I was excited to come try these and they definitely did not disappoint. I ordered the big daddy dog, Mac daddy, and split elote loaded tots with my friends. Both of my hotdogs were SO GOOD. They are pretty large and loaded with yummy toppings. The flavors on both were such good combinations. The buns had a nice toast to them. The elote tots were very good as well. They were loaded with chili, bacon, corn, cheese, jalapeños, and special sauce. If you like elote and tots then you'll love these! It was the perfect combo of flavors. The location we stopped out is a stand with outdoor seating so it's the perfect spot for food on a nice day. If you are in the area and like hotdogs then you have to give it a try! read more

Got take out from here a little while ago. The staff was helpful in helping me choose my food and I ended up having the Elote with tater tots on the side. I liked the grilled corn which complemented the grilled hot dog and tater tots were super crispy without being hard, but otherwise thought the hot dog was good but not outstanding. Glad I tried this place as it was decent, but not sure I'd go out of my way to go back. read more

Let me preface this by saying Ive tried their food before and it's good. That's not what I'm here to talk about. We went for the Daddy's Date night on Thursday the 13th. We made a reservation for 8pm and got there a little early at 7:45. When we walked up, there was a line. Not a problem, but also kind of strange considering it was reservation only and you had to pay a $5/pp reservation fee to book it. We are standing in line and it's not really moving. But we are trying to be patient and understanding as we both work in the service industry. After 20 mins of waiting in 30° weather, (not a space heater to be seen) we make it to the host stand where she immediately leaves and says she has to sit the chef's table. That's fine. But we never got to put our name down or check in for our reservation. Because there were two hosts but both were running around back and forth. We quickly realize that there is a row of about 8 post-its where they had written down the names of people waiting in the line near the bar(again with no patio heaters). Those people had been waiting since we got in line. After sitting there for another five or so minutes without even being able to check in, we decided to leave. We also saw food being left in the "window" for probably 5-10 minutes waiting to be picked up. It was outside and cold. No heat lamps. So I know it had to be cold when it got to the table. And milkshakes sitting the entire time we were in line. I know it said they added extra nights so it was very clear that they oversold it or were not limiting table times. Just a little disappointed since we never even got to sit down. Just a couple things for them to consider if they even read this: 1. Have patio heaters for guests if they're going to be expected to wait for more than 10-15 mins. 2. If people have childcare arrangements or something, they can't afford to wait around for probably an hour extra than planned. read more

I've eaten here at least four times I think, over the span of about 5 years. Every time, I want to be impressed, because who doesn't love a good hot dog? But, honestly the hot dog guy that sets up his cart outside Lowe's makes a better dog. Today I got a chili dog and the tiny amount of chili was basically lukewarm, as well as the hot dog so of course the cheese didn't melt. The onions were transparent and kind of tasteless, like they've been sitting out since this morning or since yesterday. Lastly, the bun is so big that it overshadows the rest. My friend got the elote loaded tots. The tots were soggy, and there was so much going on with the different toppings that it just didn't work. Overall, just really unimpressive. Not bad, just disappointing. read more

Dropped by here yesterday for lunch. The people here are super friendly. The food is incredible. The hot dog buns are grilled and have that little bit of char on them. Plus the vibe is of the spot is rad -- looks to be an old gas station. I got the Chicago dog, which was great, my daughter loved the New York, and my wife got the Toronto (bacon, maple syrup, and peanut butter). Expert tip if you get the Toronto, ask for some sriracha on top. The added spice counterbalances the syrup perfectly. Would I go back? Without a doubt! read more

A fun themed hot dog spot! We ordered the classic "Big Daddy" along with the Elote Loaded Tots to share, and everything was loaded* and delicious. The ordering process was smooth, parking wasn't an issue even on the weekend, and best of all--we didn't feel gross after eating here. The food was high quality, and the overall experience was good. Would definitely recommend. read more

Off-the-chain good. Quality ingredients, hot, a great bun - toasted to pure perfection. A lot of different styles that are both creative and original, and true to age-old versions (an authentic Chicago dog, for instance). Fast, friendly, and their sign out front always makes me laugh. Worth stopping into. read more

The service was great. I called ahead to place my order and was quoted 10 minutes, but when I arrived I ended up waiting an additional 10-15 minutes for my order. Which was perfectly fine because everything was made fresh. If you go to The Nations location, sit outside and read all their posted signs, you're guaranteed a good chuckle. I ordered the Elote tots and a corndog, which was $18. A bit pricey for a corndog that appeared burnt and breading lacked flavor or a decent taste like most corn dogs you'd find at a carnival or theme park. I would've been content with the Elote tots. They were AMAZING. They look messy, but they are a mess I'm willing to partake in. Honestly, their hotdogs and tots are a game changer. You can do without ever trying the corndog, it's not something I would order again. read more

That's a damn good dog! This place has been on my short list for a long time and I finally found my way out to the Nations and made Daddy's dogs a priority. I got the Big Daddy Dog and this MFer is huge. A Johnny Sins sized hot dog topped with cream cheese, bacon, pickles, grilled onions, jalapeños and something called, "Daddy's Secret Sauce". I literally inhaled this dog. The spicy jalapeños and the cream cheese is such an awesome topping for a hot dog and the grilled onions and bacon, just sealed the deal for me. This might be the best hunk of meat on two buns since... Is this an erotic thriller or a review for a hot dog place? Jeepers! There's only outdoor seating and the parking situation isn't ideal, but it's worth it for Big Daddy's dogs. Make sure to check out their Printer's Alley location! read more

Never in my life would I have bestowed a five-star rating on a hotdog stand, not even in Chicago nor New York ... until now! Just one bite into a masterpiece at Daddy's Dogs and my mind was sufficiently blown! As a foodie not necessarily fond of hotdogs (when you can grab some fabulous fried chicken or a masterful burger all over Nashville), this experience made me a believer! The sausage is of spectacular quality, phenomenal meat sitting atop an impossibly perfect bun. Those buns HAVE to be homemade, because there isn't any other interpretation for such magnificence! The Music City dog was my selection, complete with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and barbecue sauce. But it was the chopped onions that defied logic. They weren't raw, nor were they soft and sautéed. The onions were somewhere in between those extremes but impossibly mild, complementary of the overall flavor without being extremely oniony (which will ruin most dishes). I don't know how they made such subtle chopped onions, but they did it! When visiting Nashville, Daddy's Dogs is a must! The menu variety, the customer service, the wonderful sides, even the ambience of an old gas station converted to an outdoor space to which everyone from construction workers to commoners flock, it's all worth a trip to the western suburbs of Nashville! read more

This place was so fun to eat at! You order at a walk up window, then they call your name over a microphone when your order is ready. The hot dogs were fantastic and they had so many options. The hardest part was choosing what I wanted to eat! There were cornhole boards and alcoholic drinks available. They were also dog friendly which is a huge plus! read more

Complete slop. I eat one hotdog a year and came here based on the reviews. My sister ordered the chili dog and I ordered the Lone Wolf. Mine was on a stale, dry, hard bun with maybe a teaspoon of relish. The hotdog was not grilled and barely warm. The tater tots were barely warm. My sister's dog was equally as dreadful with the same stale hard bun. She said the chili was barely warm and flavorless. Even the chips were stale! LOL! The photo I am posting with this review is what we threw in the trash. I definitely would not recommend. read more

Daddy's Dogs - Nations - Slop! It was all thrown in the trash and I hate wasting food. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

A great hot dog stand in Nashville, Tennessee. They offer huge all beef hot dogs with a variety of topping. I opted for the New York dog with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard. I would have opted for the chili dog, however their chili had beans in it. I stand by the belief that beans do not go in chili for hot dogs. I would hazard a guess that the hot dog was a quarter pound and had a nice char on it. It was very good. Daddy's Dogs is also a cool place to eat. It has a little building and you order from a window, you can sit at one of the benches, and they will bring you your food. This is a great place to grab a hot dog and maybe fries or tots. read more

The name says it all. Lol! Normally I focus on the food, but I have to say I was so impressed with the branding and the experience eating here. Omg, their playlist is also throwback epic: Pony, Unbreak My Heart, etc. It definitely gave me a chuckle! They offer an elevated spin in your everyday hot dog, so no more limp, skimpy grilled hot dog you might have gotten from summer camp as a kid. No. Instead, you get a really thick, meaty grilled dog dressed up to the nines with decadent fixings and creative flavors. I got the Georgia dog ($7), which has Georgia peaches, jalapeños, and their secret "sawce" which I think is like a sriracha Mayo situation. Oh, and I got a side of tots too ($4). $11 even! So all in all, a filling and quick lunch spot that has great outdoor seating if you're at the Nations location. Overall, the flavor of the dog was alright, nothing super special about the bun ir the flavor of the sausage itself, but it was tasty. I think next time I'll get something that has a little bit more acidity, like a relish topping, to balance out to the cattiness of the dog. Cute spot for a quick filling bite and a good chuckle with many puns. read more

Really good hot dog but was surprisingly let down by the hot dog bun. It looked so good and I was expecting it to be soft and buttery but it was insanely dry and had no flavor to it. It had a really airy, crumbly texture. Not a fan. I kind of want to go back and get a corn dog though haha maybe that's more my jam. read more

I got the big daddy and it was so good. The flavors work so well together and the dog itself was super flavorful and big. My husband got the chicago and he was also super impressed. Only thing I personally was not crazy about was the size of the bun. It tastes amazing, I just wish it wasn't so big. We will definitely be back for more. Love that this place exists. read more

This is a place that might look like it doesn't have any frills but the food has all the pizzazz you would want from a hot dog stand putting some flair on the traditional dog. Every bun is grilled and then topped with their hot dog and your choice of toppings. Their hot of dog of the month keeps you guessing. I tried a charcuterie dog which, from the description, I was skeptical. But, I gave it a shot and I'm glad they proved me wrong. Would definitely recommend! read more

Came here from a friend's referral since I wasn't able to try I Dream of Weenie! I love a good dog, so I was ready for a good time. There's ample free parking in the lot, I imagine they can get pretty busy though! The area is very spacious with a tent over a portion to block the sun, then they have seating for those of us that like more vitamin D, sun and all! You go to the window to order. The menu is on the whole wall, so you can't miss it and if you're going blind you can definitely read it! There's a large selection of dogs and they have some good side items as well. They offer a decently large drink selection and milkshakes, which for a bit more you can have made with a spirit ... I got the Georgia dog that has peaches and jalapeños on it- omg !!!! So in love! I got the slaw for my side; it's a bit spicy but not overwhelming and very fresh for a warm day. They call your name when your order is ready, and honestly I felt like a contestant on The Price is Right ! (Okay, that might have been the beer, but I was feeling it) !!! Everything is well priced, especially for the size of the dog.... and who doesn't love some saucy innuendo when they go eat?!?! I do love this place! It's fun, I'll be back! read more

Arrived at the Nashville airport and immediately headed to Daddy's Dogs. I've been following them on Instagram for awhile and I knew I needed Daddy's in my life. Pulled up to the Nation's location minutes after it opened and it was understandably pretty quiet. I perused the menu and settled on the Music City Dog (bacon, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce). Counter service was quick and easy. I sat at a picnic table and my name was quickly called. The dog was huge with whole strips of bacon and a big bun. The BBQ sauce was good and I would have loved a bit more on the dog. The ambiance of the place is pretty cool. I loved the signage. I bet the place is really hopping late night. Thanks for a great experience Daddy's Dogs! read more

I ordered at the window, food came out super quick, workers were very friendly and attentive.

Really enjoyed our Chicago style dog -- added brown mustard and a few jalapeños to spice it up. The hot dog was good quality beef and the bun very fresh. We added a side of tots that I loved and wifey wanted a bit more seasoned, but the dip sauce made up for that. Add in 2 cold Miller High Life's on a hot day, warm sun from sitting outside and it was a perfect lunch. Service staff is friendly and Big Daddy, the owner, was helpful with our original selection. We have seen him a few times around town and can't wait until his walk up opens in Printers Alley in April of 2019. If you are craving a good hot dog -- Daddy's is the place!! read more

YUM! A hot dog is a hot dog right? Wrong! So good, so original, so quality, and all the folks who work here are so nice. The first time I went I got the Big Daddy but inhaled it before snapping a photo. Went back literally the next day when I saw they had a brunch menu and the Basic Breakfast Dog was so incredible! Topped with bacon, eggs and cheese. I can't even imagine how amazing it would taste if you were hungover It's especially a great spot in the COVID age because they don't even have any indoor seating. A nice patio with picnic tables and fun bright colors makes it a great outdoor space to chill for a while. read more
