everything is amazing, hotdogs, cheeseburgers and the young men working there are always friendly

Been here a couple of times over the years when in the area and hungry. Had hot dogs the first time and they were ok. Had the Chicago Dog today and it was not much. Sonic used to have a better one. I will probably see what they do with that Bradley's Smoked Sausage Dog next time...or maybe the Italian. Then again, there are hamburgers on the menu. The hot dogs they use just don't impress for a place dedicated to hot dogs. The fries are crispy and good though. You order at the counter and they call your name when your food is ready. Service is friendly and efficient. The food comes out pretty quickly. There are a few tables and some counter seating at the front windows. Business seems to be a mix of takeout and dine in. Parking out front and on the side of the building. There is a drive through as well. read more

I came into this place by happenstance one day for lunch. I've passed by it many times and I decided to try it today. It was okay. They didn't really have many many toppings for their hotdogs. They also were out of multiple sides. The hot dogs also didn't have much flavor. The homemade potato chips were pretty good. read more

I'm embarassed to say I've lived here 25 years and never eaten at Dog Et Al. Well I finally took the time to stop in this week and am really glad I did. The menu is simple - hot dogs and hamburgers. But what makes them good is the hot dogs are really good. And the burgers are hand pattied and cooked beautifully. The fries - perfectly crispy fried hand cut fries - yum! We had onion rings which were just frozen onion rings and the apple pie was the same. But the main draw is the dogs and burgers. Orders are cooked as you place them so we did have to wait a minute to get our food but it was well worth it. The restaurant is small and the parking is limited. But they've been here since 1984 so it is obviously big enough to support the capitol crowd that I certainly hope patronizes it! read more

Updating my other review with the same rating. I have been here quite a few times since my initial visit. The customer service here is 2nd to none in Tallahassee. I always have great conversation with whoever is here, but I believe his name is Kenny? He's amazing and so friendly every time we come in. Everyone I have talked with is very friendly, but he always puts me in a good mood! His customer service is a good enough reason to come in, but the hot dogs are soooooo freaking good. The chocolate shake is also my favorite in the city. Chickfila still holds the Cookies N' Cream shake title, but Dog et al is the best with chocolate. Come here hungry and leave full and happy. Trust the thick girl. read more

Once a historic stable of Tallahassee, the times have changed. I lhave loved this place since my childhood days but I don't know if its a result of new ownership but the food quality has definitely declined. This was my first time back in years and the service is not as friendly as it used to be either. I was hesitant once I saw the help wanted sign on the door which is usually a sign a place is struggling. Fries did not look good and my corndog was not appetizing either. I will stick to corndogs at the fair. read more

Dog Et Al - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I'm updating my review from 2 stars to just 1 star. Thought I'd eat here again since I was nearby. Ordered a super dog combo with mustard and sauerkraut with an apple pie for the side. The food came out fairly quickly. They did not have any forks so I took a knife to cut it. The bun was soggy. The hot dog wasn't hot. I ate it in just a few bites and turned my attention to the apple pie. I remember how they used to be served piping hot. Not today. It was served at room temperature. When I was throwing my trash away, I saw another apple pie in the trash so mine wasn't the only one that wasn't eaten. I'm extremely disappointed with the way this place has become such a letdown. I won't be back. read more

Food is great, especially the handmade chips. But be very careful, as the floors are super slick, definitely a slip and fall hazard.

You have to hit up the new location! All the things you love about Dog et Al but in a brand new space! Great look inside lots of seating. The best chili dog in FLA. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Dog Et Al - The best management team in Tally! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I used to go to dog et all all the time. I've been twice since they changed hands. The first time, it tasted the same. This last time, the hot dog texture was not the same. They may have found a different provider. The chips were burned. You no longer get an apple pie with the big dog combo. The staff was not welcoming. The menu has expanded to hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. I don't think I need to go back again. read more

Very dingy. Food was old. Regret stopping in. However, the young lady running the app was incredibly nice.

Love their hot dogs, chili dogs, chips and apple pie! I love seeing some new things happening. We took advantage of the football meal deal offered in the Fall. I'm interested in trying their burgers. And their manager is very well liked and has great enthusiasm in the business. Local treasure! read more

Dog Et Al - Summer fun with the kiddos - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

FOOD/DRINKS: I ordered the Corn Dog and it happened to be BOGO on this day. I got the beef corn dog but they also have an option for a turkey corn dog. I got fries on the side. The portion side was great and I got a lemonade to drink. It was southern sweet and MMM MMM GOOD! * For vegetarians- there is an option of a veggie dog! SERVICE: Oh how I love locally owned places. The guy behind the counter is super nice and super friendly! The food came out quick and we had everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our food. ATMOSPHERE: Casual. Kid friendly. Family oriented. Quaint. LOCATION: Ample lot parking. PROs- Food quality, price and service CONs- NONE! read more

Dog Et Al - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Cute, retro place with fast service and tasty food. We went during a Facebook event so I'm not sure if this is how busy it is all the time or not. I tried their veggie dog and was pleasantly surprised. It had the same texture as a regular hot dog and didn't have a weird aftertaste that some non-meat dogs have. I personally prefer potato rolls with my burgers/ dogs because the bun holds up better, their flour buns got a little soggy with my toppings. They get points though for how many free toppings they had, all delicious. I got coleslaw and peppers on mine, my friend got a chili dog that smelled amazing. I thought the fries were delicious! Hand cut and perfectly salty and they had VINEGAR!! That's how you know the fries are good. read more

Dog Et Al - Veggie dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

A Tallahassee Institution. Great dogs, great fries, affordable and filling. Never change, wiener establishment.

Food was good, but service was incredibly slow and it was extremely HOT inside. No AC??

I have not been to Dog Et Al in a couple of years when I met the new owners (and managers) at a charity event recently. They assured me that not only was Dog Et Al still in business, it's not going anywhere (except eventually a second location on the northside). A recent lunch visit confirmed that this place is staying true to it's roots: delicious food and great, family friendly atmosphere. We ordered one corn dog combo with fries; a side of chips, and three little dogs with toppings. The corndog and fries came straight from the fryer and the cornmeal around the corndog might as well have been cornbread. Delicious. (There are a lot of other options on the menu to feed every type of diner, large or small.) The staff behind the counter (and fryer!) were friendly and helpful. And the portion of the order that needed an extra minute to be prepared was delivered to our table promptly. The place was busy with all seats except at the window counter full and yet they do a good job to keep tables and floor clean. read more

Dog Et Al - Cornbread combo with fries and a pie, three little dogs with toppings, side of chips! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

If you're ever craving a corndog and can't wait until the North Florida Fair comes into town, Dog Et Al has you covered. The corndogs are perfect, the fries, onion rings and chocolate shake are good too. I've never had an issue with service or food not being hot and fresh. I think this place is a must-try! read more

1st, ordered from the menu board and everything was charged differently than the prices posted. (More) was told sorry, we are working on that. 2ed, waited a long time for hotdogs and fries. 3rd once we got our food it was cold. The dog, chili, everything. It's never been the same since it was sold. read more

I can't help it, I have to give them 5 stars. I love locally owned places with friendly service and great food. They explained the menu to me as it was my first time visiting, I liked that the majority of the toppings choices were free and they thanked me for coming. I can always appreciate places that understand people can spend their money anywhere but want you to come back to their establishment. I decided to try a hot dog, bratwurst and an apple pie based off other yelp reviews. The apple pie was the best part! Was it the best hotdog I ever had no, the bratwurst tasted better to me and has a nice little kick to it. The apple pie was the winner here folks. read more

Perfect old school hot dog joint. Been here for many years. Hand cut fries too. Get you some!

Honestly mid It was a Saturday at noon and It was whatever I waited about half an hour for a hot dog and fries The place is cute at least read more

Once you enter it looks like they are going to play in your face. The burger looks like you could have made it at home. They just slapped a whole lettuce head on it & raw onions. The place overall gives homeless. They advertised it greatly. The customer service was straight I guess. read more

What can't I say about this great little restaurant. It's a "must stop" when I'm in Tallahassee. They have a great selection of all hotdogs and sausage . Their toppings list is great and makes all of the hotdogs even better. We're talking about everything from basic chili to sautéed onions and peppers or jalapeños.They make their own potato chips or you can get fries . They offer a hot apple pie with ice cream on the side and it's awesome. The sweet tea and lemonade hit the spot and the atmosphere is great. The staff is always inviting and you can tell they love what they do. This is really a treasure of the area. read more

Old School Hot Dog & Hamburger Joint that totally rocks.. Burgers hand patted and fresh. Fries are sliced raw potato style and very good.. They also have homemade potato chips but i didn't try them.. My coney dog was spot on with Mustard Chili and Onions.. If you are hungry order the footlong! Service is a little slow for a fast food place but the quality of the food makes up for any wait.. I went on the day before Christmas Eve and School was out and State offices were closed so it wasn't as crowded as I have heard it gets! I Highly recommend! read more

This was the worst food that I've ever had. The people was nice and all, but when I got there I ordered a Italian sausage with some fries, first off the Italian sausage was way to small to be nearly 10 dollars, and it was disgusting at that, even though I usually love Italian sausages. second they just poured some nasty, really greasy fries straight into the bag, with no kind of container or anything so the bag could of ripped. Even the apparent lemonade was mediocre, I didn't even know it that it was possible to make the lemonade really nasty. Nice service but terrible food that's not worth the price in my opinion. read more

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That's what makes the world go 'round.......but this particular proclamation is not up for debate: *Steps to the mic, clears throat* DOG ET AL IS THE BEST HOT DOG BUSINESS IN TALLAHASSEE!!! Yes, VooDoo Dog is amazing! They deserve their props as well but their forte is specialty hot dogs while Dog Et Al is the King......heck, and the Queen, Prince and Princess of your classic, All-American hot dog. No gimmicks. No bells. No whistles. Just simple, all beef frankfurters cooked to perfection. Let's talk about how magnificent this place is, shall we? First off, their buns are steamed. And soft. Soft as clouds made of cotton candy. Secondly, and this part is actually the best to me........NONE of the toppings cost you anything additional. I sh** you not, My Friend! Want grilled onions? Free. Grilled bellpeppers? Free. Coleslaw? Free! What about adding chili? FREE, I TELL YA!!! How can you beat that? They also provide the public with corn dogs (freshly dipped then fried upon ordering) that are sometimes on a Buy 1, Get 1 Free special, turkey dogs, Italian sausages, Polish sausages, smoked sausages, bratwursts and veggie dogs. The sides are kept real simple: Either homemade potato chips, fries or onion rings though you can opt for chili chips or fries, cheese chips or fries or chili cheese chips or fries. Their combos include the chips or fries, a drink and an apple pie. I simply can't get enough of Dog Et Al!!! And if you do your research on all of the awards they've won, you'll see Tallahassee can't get enough of them either. read more

I love this Tallahassee staple! They've got great hot dogs and corndogs and I'm excited to try their new hamburgers next! They've got a drive-thru and they're quick, so it's a great place to swing by for a quick bite. They've got all the basic hotdog fixin's (onions, condiments, relish, homemade chili, sauerkraut, cheese), but the hotdogs are great on their own too! The corndogs have excellent flavor and really don't need toppings, but they're great with ketchup or mustard, if that's your preference. There are many different hotdog types to choose from (various sizes of regular hotdogs, sausages, bratwurst, and even a vegetarian option). Your best bet may be to try two small dogs - one with chili and onions, the other with just your condiment of choice, and if you've got room after two hotdogs, grab a corndog too! I haven't had their apple pie in ages, but I remember it being pretty similar to the kind you get at fast food restaurants, but you can tell they're made with love. They also cater events with their Dog Et Al truck, so even if you can't make it over to their South Monroe location, look out for the food truck. Fun Fact: My husband and I went on our first date here back in 2012. read more

Dog et al - Sad Day. I used to say that dog et all was the best hot dog in Tallahassee. No more. Soggy mushy dog on a stale bun. Very rude staff. Practically yelled at me because I asked for mustard. Apparently they were too busy with online orders to come to the window. Never gave me my credit card back either. They won't answer the phone at all and have locked the door and closed the indoor seating so it's drive through only. The would probably be doing their few remaining customers a service if they just closed up for good. Previous owner guy that used to own/run it in the past was the best. He always wanted to make sure you got a great dog just way you wanted it. Sad to say that now you can get a better and cheaper dog at Circle K. At this rate online orders must be the only thing keeping them open. Hope it improves but I won't be back. read more

THEY NOW SERVE HAMBURGERS! They are super. Milkshakes coming soon. Still as good as it ever was and looking to improve. Catching the SOMO wave. read more

I've been coming to Dog et AL for years. The dogs are great, the chips are fried fresh, and with a combo, you get fried pie and a drink. Its,a great local joint with good food and friendly service. read more

This is a local hot dog joint. Order the big dog combo with the homemade fries and apple pie. The super dog combo is bigger by just a little bit and not worth the difference. They did not laugh when I wanted mayo on my hot dog bun. Hot dogs are such personal things! I like mine with chili, slaw and onions. Yummy! The chips can be hit or miss. Sometimes they are a bit overdone but mostly good. I like the fried apple pie. This is not a low calorie, low fat place! Don't look for salads, tofu dogs or the like. Had voodoo dog today and like dog et all better! read more

Dog Et Al is a Tallahassee Institution, and if you haven't driven down South Monroe south of the Capitol and given it a shot then you need to rectify that. The name tells no lies - this is a hot dog joint. You've got your option of what size of dog (or other similarly shaped sausage/bratwurst) as well as a bevy of condiment and topping options. I mean, how can you not love a place where chili is a free condiment? The combos are the way to go - a dog, your choice of homemade potato chips or fries, a fried apple pie, and a drink for dirt cheap. Now how should you get your dog? Nothing beats a jumbo dog with chili, cheddar cheese, mustard, and onions. Don't skip on the molten-innard apple pie either! read more

Food was great. Love the vibe and the staff was nice. Would definitely recommend and be back

Fries are good, and hot!! Hot dogs are just dogs, not hot. Luke warm first bite , cold by the time you get to the last bite. They need to turn up the heat in those soaker pans!! read more
