Friendly service, fun and inviting ambiance! Just opened and seemed pretty busy already. I had the Anacortes Dog which was very tasty, love the cream cheese and toasty bacon. The crunchy potao chips added a nice touch. The chili dog was very good too. Chili was hot and plenty of it with cheese and onions to make it perfect. Great job! read more

This is a new location for this place. I got the beer brat, and it was really good. The service is a little slow, they were a little understaffed, but into their defense there was quite a few people in there ordering food and I don't think they expected the rush. They have some wonderful condiments for your hotdog and they also have fresh scoop ice cream from Samish baked creamery. A definite place to come in to grab a quick snack. read more

Great dogs. Not your typical weeny but a gourmet sausage. A little expensive but worth it.

The hotdog is amazing! My husband liked the pickle too (he normally doesn't like pickles). The sauces and bacon give it unique flavors read more

What a wonderful experience all around! Came out on Friday around noon. Really cute and welcoming place. Owner was helpful and friendly. Enjoyed chatting with him. Great service and the food was terrific. My husband and I wanted to try a few different dogs since we're from out of town. We shared the frito bandido, the Thai peanut and the Anacortes dogs. They were all incredibly tasty! read more

Went by here today for lunch. We have driven by so many times but finally stopped. We didn't know what we were getting into so we decided to split a Anacortes dog and a cup of Ivars chowder. The chowder was great as it always is but that Anacortes dog was the stuff hotdog dreams are made of. The gentleman working was helpful and friendly and being able to sit outside on a beautiful day made the meal perfect. We will absolutely be back read more

Loved this place! We passed through, and had to stop by cause we heard it was very dog friendly. We got a chili dog with the strawberry lemonade. The dog was so loaded and filling and delicious, and the lemonade was perfectly sweet and tart. The owner was so sweet and kind as well. He gave our dog a hot dog of her own, and she absolutely loved it. I highly recommend coming here for a quick meal, especially if you have a dog. It is very dog friendly, and you can tell the owner loves dogs and thinks of them. I really appreciate that as a dog lover myself. read more

I was in town for the Anacortes Waterfront/Art Festival (well worth it!) I parked by the harbor and saw Dockside Dogs and thought I'd give it a try. They have a simple dog or specialty ones. I chose the Anacortes Dog because it sounded tasty and unique (with grilled Walla Walla onions, bacon and seasoned cream cheese and sauce.) It didn't need to add anything to it, per the owner's suggestion. It didn't disappoint, it was full of flavor and a nice surprising crunch of the bacon. The owner was very friendly and gave great service. They have a small indoor space to sit but it was full. I chose to sit in a shaded area on the patio with a great view. It was a little pricey but what isn't nowadays. I will definitely return! read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Amazing taste! Amazing Service! Amazing experience! I'm not a huge fan of all beef hotdogs but the dog named Ruben changed my mind. The balance of the sauerkraut and the thousand island was delicious. The bun was nice and soft and tasty. No better hot dog on the island. The hot dog stand was also cool and unique with a classic car as their company vehicle. *only reason for the 4/5 ambiance is because it's at a food truck park and not technically "fine dining". But the food was fine. Great job read more

Very nice "micro-cafe" serving tasty hotdogs 7 different ways with 6 or 7 flavors of mustard. The mustard selections include classic yellow, spicy brown, jalapeño mustard, and GHOST PEPPER mustard!! I chose to order a "Naked Dog" so I could get the taste of the dog. It wasn't until after I ordered that I noticed the wide selection of mustards available. I can't resist spicy foods, so I decided to try the Beaver brand Ghost Pepper Mustard on my dog. Although I enjoy spicy foods, I haven't experienced Ghost Pepper more than once or twice. This mustard was very spicy, but wasn't too spicy, for me. People that aren't used to spicy foods might not be able to handle it. The dog was served on a French bread style bun and with some chopped onions. The onions are optional, so if you don't care for onions just ask for no onions. I thought the dog was just the right size and nicely cooked. It wasn't "crisp" but it also wasn't cooked to mush. I would compare the size to a ballpark dog. I also opted to try the steakhouse chili. I asked for shredded cheese and chopped onions on top. The chili had ground beef, I was hoping for bite-sized chunks of steak. Oh well, it was still a nice cup of chili. The Owner/Cook/Server was very pleasant, polite, and friendly. If you are in the Anacortes area and have a hankering for a dog, definitely stop by Dockside Dogs located at the corner of 11th St and Q Ave. read more

For a hot dog spot, 5 star. Great chili, Wagu beef dogs. Got the frito bandito, definitely need to use a fork and knife. Great taste and balance of ingredients. Best dog I have had this year. Nice owner/operator. Small indoor seating and outdoor. read more

Good dog, great environment, fantastic service. This was a fun place to eat with the family.

Despite only a casual interest and no real expectations going into it, I REALLY enjoyed my dog! I had a naked dog which could be dressed with a large selection of condiments (literally about 2 dozen I bet) including more mustards than I knew existed. My wife had an Anacortes dog that was dangerously good. A couple things stood out: - Amazingly friendly and welcoming service! The proprietor is active in the community which is what brought us to try Dockside Dogs and just really made for an excellent atmosphere. -GOOD meat. I usually eat hot dogs camping or at Costco. The all-beef franks here really were a step above and probably ruined my normal dogs. I look forward to going back. Note that there is limited indoor seating: it's really geared for a quick stop or outdoor eating on their deck tables. read more

We stopped here after a whale watching trip and were pleasantly surprised. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the owner is so kind and all of the food was amazing. Our group ordered four different kinds of hot dogs and we were all very happy with them. The Thai peanut one was unique and delicious! read more

Passed by this stand behind the Safeway on Commercial many times, but this is the first time I stopped in. It's a tiny place, with the kitchen in one little shed on the corner, and a couple more for seating plus some outdoor tables. The dogs are great; big, thick Hemplers prepared to order in several styles, with a vegan option. One is enough for a meal, but the meal deal adds Frito-lay chips and a drink. The buns are soft and puffy, so not strong enough for the two chili dog styles. The sauerkraut is mild, as are the onions. The chili looks housemade, with lots of meat and three kinds of beans, and chopped sweet red pepper. The second-best part of the process is the table of condiments, including spices, mustards, and other fixings. Not low-end either, and at least some look like small batch products. Why the spread? Because of the best thing in the place: the owner, Mike. He's a scholar of hot dogs, and we had a good discussion of how each addition to a dog changes it into a different style. AND he knows where each style comes from! Not what you expect from a sidewalk hot dog stand. He's working his way to retirement after a long career in nonprofit organizations, and he told me that five people have asked to franchise his operation, "But I don't want to work that hard." He's doing what he loves, having fun with his customers, and it shows in his food and on his face (even under his mask). And what more can you ask from a quick stop at a neighborhood hot dog stand? read more

Cute little hot dog place. We ordered a mess of a chili dog, the frito bandito. It was pretty good. It's either a fork and knife situation, or make sure you have a lot of napkins. We got a bag of chips and can of soda to go with it and it was about $10 and change. Small area to order and grab condiments and some outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Now that's a darn good hot dog! My husband is a hot dog addict, and when we found this place we were very excited to try it. I'm SO glad we did. First, the owner was so very pleasant and gave us a perfect run down of his (what I would call) a hot dog oasis. There is indoor seating with an electric fireplace which is perfect because it's sorta chilly out right now. We ordered our food and went to sit down. He brought us our dogs and we were in awe. Second, THE FOOD! I ordered the Anacortes Dog and my husband two chili dogs. Both were completely emptied. The Anacortes Dog has a slice of bacon and some wonderful sauce and the chili dog was ginormous and delicious! The hot dogs themselves were phenomenal. The taste was amazing and honestly I would go as far as saying that this was the best hot dog I have ever consumed. In review, I would highly recommend stopping for a hotdog. You WILL NOT, no- CAN NOT be disappointed. 5 stars well deserved. read more

Perfect for those on the way to the Ferries! read more

While staying in the Cap Sante Marina we came across this hotdog place. First time and I planned on playing it safe with the "naked dog" I could dress my own way. That was until while paying for our order I saw the owner making the "Anacortes Dog". Cream cheese, chives, crunchy potato chips...wow. I asked him what he was making and I said "I want that". Seriously best hotdog I have ever had in my life!!! I will dream about that hotdog until I can get back to Cap Sante to have it again!!! On top of that, friendly and quick service. Outdoor seating has great views of the marina. If you are anywhere close, you have to try it! read more
