Cute little spot for a snack, but the quality of the food fell short. I like that they have unique options, like the Hayz Dog with kimchi on it (what I got), a Banh Mi Dog, etc, but unfortunately the toppings seem to me like a front to charge $15 for a low quality hot dog worth $5 or less. Diving into specifics, the hot dog itself is really small and cooked on a roller machine, and the bun is an untoasted / unwarmed generic grocery store white bread bun, and mine seemed a little stale. I understand that this spot is really small, so they might not be able to have a grill inside, but they could at least use a higher quality, larger hot dog, and the bun could be a brioche bun or sesame bun for what they're charging. The balsamic dressing for the side salad was also strangely thick and gelatinous so it might have been old as well. Service was friendly and attentive though, hence the 3 stars.

Really cool little spot! The neighborhood has a ton of restaurants around, but this place definitely stands out. They have outdoor seating plus a small indoor area that has a really fun, chill vibe. The people working here are awesome--super friendly, welcoming, and just make you feel comfortable hanging out. The hot dogs are delicious and there are quite a few different ones to choose from. I've tried a few and the flavor combinations just work! They also have bottled beer and sodas, which is perfect with the food. Good food, great people, and a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

The Tramp

Hot dog was tasty. Wish it had a bit more sauce on it; kinda dry. Definitely appreciate that they have a veggie dog. I would try other hot dogs next time.

"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Perfectly sound and true advice. Although, in our case, a more apt metaphor might be, "when life unexpectedly deprives you of getting some grilled backyard BBQ hot dogs, just buy some so you don't have to grill your own"! After first discovering Hayz Dog following our dinner at The Happy Crane a short while back, I made a mental note to eventually come back to check this place out. Between their small size and funky decor, this place reminded me of my beloved Top Dog in Berkeley. Of course, their selection of hot dogs was eye catching, too. With nine varieties to offer, as well as the option to build your own, there's something for everyone, including a vegetarian/vegan dog, salads, chilis, elote cups, mac & cheese, and cold treats. Once I read the description, though, it didn't take me long to go with THE TRAMP ($13), which comes with Bacon, Hayz Special Sauce, Charred Serranos, Chopped Onions, and Cilantro with Kettle Chips (or salad). On the one hand, this isn't nearly as unique as some of their other combos, like The Banh Mi or The Elote, but the toppings on this one are commonly top hot dogs for a reason - they all complement each other so well! Although the onions were a little tart and the cheese sauce got a little tiresome (melted shredded cheese would've been amazing), I love how bits of bacon were thick and meaty and how the peppers added a touch of spice to this. Most importantly, though, the bun was so soft and the hot dogs were super plump and juicy! While it's not overly difficult to come here, it should be said that it was probably a lot easier than even we expected. Between how it was a quiet weekend in SF/Hayes Valley and how we stopped by past the peak dinner hour (and well before peak drinking hours), we lucked out and were able to snag a spot right across the street. What's more, the place wasn't all that busy and so we were able to grab a couple of the counter seats inside (they have a parklet out front with TV's, but it was pretty full). Despite how I genuinely liked my order, it, admittedly, felt a little pricey after tax/tip (~$17), especially compared to Top Dog and Costco (though, to be fair, the latter makes everything feel expensive). That being said, this one obviously comes with toppings and and the flavors are way more unique, so there is something to be said for that. Either way, considering how it's usually a lot harder to find parking in Hayes Valley than it was when we stopped off, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. However, as a snack to cap off the night or after a drink or two in the neighborhood, I wouldn't outright oppose it. All in all, THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down for now.

Ecote Dog
Joe R.

Best dog the side of the Mississippi. No for real the Ecote Dog was so yummy with the cheese and special sauce and the elote I really liked it ! The lemonade from Boyle was a great refresher ! Love this place . The service is polite and promote and the is allot of outdoor seating and some light cozy indoor seating .

Quick lunch at Hayz Dog and honestly still my favorite hot dog spot in San Francisco. The quality is always consistent and everything is packed with flavor. Tried The Bobo, The Heddy, mac & cheese and a vanilla shake; every single thing hit. The dogs are loaded, the toppings actually complement the flavor instead of overpowering it and even the mac was creamy and comforting. The vanilla shake was thick, smooth and honestly paired perfectly with the food. Not exaggerating when I say this is THE spot if you're craving a hot dog in SF. Definitely worth checking out!

Loved this tiny spot! I had their dogs for lunch with my friend who works in Hayes Valley. The space is artsy (thanks for the wall covered by doggie-art and bright accent colors) and cozy. We actually stayed inside as it was a bit windy that day. As for the hot dogs -- I was excited to try their Chicago style Fluky and it was delicious (a bit more bready than in Chicago but still great). My friend got Hays and also loved it. You can pick side of salad or chips. Service was fast as it was not crowded on a weekday afternoon.

Sometimes you need to compartmentalize & treat yourself. Nobody knows what's in these flavor bombs & I don't care. Anyway, if you're looking for a hotdog, Hayz Dog is as good as it gets. The ingredients are fresh & the combinations are inventive. I generally order the Bobo- straight up ketchup, mustard, relish & raw onions. Friendly folks who remember I hate mayo. (Ok, been here a few times, I swear I'm a healthy eater.) Located at the end of Hayes St shopping district. The food is 5 star. My only complaint is the annoying tv in the parklet- all sports, too loud, nobody's watching. Just me trying to read, a couple talking, & a woman with headphones. Happy to report on my last visit there was a silent non-sports program on. Thank you! The people have spoken. Support Local!

The Elote
Brad K.

Bring your pup here! Super puppy friendly they even have a pup menu, but it's basically a hot dog straight up, might not be healthy for your dog to eat the whole thing, but a little bite won't hurt! We got kimchi hot dog and the elote, Elote was great and the kimchi dog was great too. I think they should try to use a different kind of bread, the bun seemed a little dry and flaky or something, and the Elote topping kept falling out of the bun lol. The kimchi hot dog was good too but there could have been more kimchi...overall great place! They have a punch card system too so 8 hot dogs give you a free hot dog!! Cute store interior!

Such a unique hot dog place in the Hayes Valley. Super convenient to come here and grab a quick bite to go. I thought the toppings for The Elote [4.5/5] were delicious! I think the quality of the bread and the hot dog could be improved, as the bread is the very plain and not buttery, and the hot dog tastes pretty cheap and simple. The concept is great. Service is great, quick, and friendly. Probably wouldn't particularly come back here because there are much juicier and tender hot dogs, but the concept is cool. :)

We were heading to Toronado and as Berliner is no longer there next door decided to head here pre IPA - it was a good choice! Has several different types of hot dog including a really good vegetarian version for my daughter and I that was really quite exceptional and I love the crispy shallot / cilantro combo. My husband got the Fluky - a Chicago style dog loaded with sport peppers! Loved sitting on the outside patio in the middle of Hayes Valley enjoying our hot dogs! Great spot!

Pinoy Pup
Chastity V.

Went to Hayz Dog for the September special menu item, the Pinoy Pup. It was excellent! Loved the Filipino cuisine inspired toppings: spicy banana ketchup, pickled green papaya and carrots and crispy garlic. (It comes with cilantro too, but I asked to leave that out) I hope they bring this Pinoy hot dog back in the future! We ordered at the counter and sat down in their outdoor patio. Food came out quickly, and the hot dogs came with a side of chips. I look forward to coming back to try their regular menu items!

Hot dog decent
Plantlady5150 Y.

Rude! Sorry did we just bother you while asking questions about what the food comes with? This guy was so unwelcoming and rude. When my husband asked him what comes with obviously we saw the options we were asking what type of salad? Explain your menu a lil better. This salad was bare by far! Not a single thing offered with it not an egg in sight or crumble of cheese. Sad that a lot of places have poor quality of people running their restaurants. Be kind, welcoming and inviting to your customers!!!

My mom tried an açaí bowl for the first time, and she absolutely loved it! She described it as…read moresweet, sour, chewy, and cold, with a comforting feeling that went all the way from her mouth down to her throat and tummy. It was also filling, which she really liked! The shop is small, and there's construction going on outside due to building renovations, but it doesn't seem to affect business at all. People were constantly coming in and out! Despite having only two staff members working, the team worked really well together, and the line moved pretty quickly. Compared with the other location in the same chain, I think this location does a much better job of maintaining the açaí's temperature and texture. As you can see in my photos, even on a hot day, I could slowly enjoy my bowl without the açaí melting into a watery mess. It stayed thick and almost sorbet-like, which is exactly how I like it! I also love that the fruit comes in nice, big pieces instead of tiny, finely chopped bits that almost look like baby food at the other location. The texture and toppings really make a difference! Overall, we loved everything here. Definitely coming back more often! :)

I'm so impressed with Palmetto Superfoods especially now that I've seen the set up…read more The freshness of the fruits and other ingredients like coconut, açaí, crunchy granola, chia seeds and peanut butter. You can choose from many ingredients and each bowl is assembled fresh to order. You order on an iPad which takes a minute to choose from all the possible ingredients, the size of the bowl or choose from a preset combination, pay and then wait for your bowl (or smoothie) to be assembled. My best advice is to order in advance because two people hustled with pick up orders, walk ins and online orders. I waited about 25 minutes after adding two custom bowls to the TGTG order that sent me in. Every surface of the small store was immaculate. I looked around and wondered how intense the set up each morning would be, dicing and slicing strawberries, kiwi, mango etc. Palmetto Superfoods is a complex operation and the bowls were (chef's kiss) delicious.

We were craving açaí bowls and went to our original spot: Bowl'D Açaí…read more Their bowls have a generous layer of tart açaí and the "These Nuts" bowls come with another velvety, thick, rich layer of homemade peanut butter, bee pollen, honey, granola, almonds, banana plus additional toppings for about $1 each (cocoa nibs, whey protein, chia seeds and more). I'm hungry just tapping out these ingredients. They have lots of other combinations including "Cheat Day" (mmm Nutella too!) FinnCinerator's had many times. Their green and blended smoothies and citrus and ginger shots are also terrific. Because I'm greedy I also ordered the "Great White" ahi bowl "piranha style" (spicy) that I could have later for dinner. It was a bit light on the ahi so I was slightly disappointed. It's such good quality tuna that I simply wanted more. There are other very good açaí businesses in San Francisco but Bowl'D Açaí satisfies like no other. I think it's the thiccc layers of ingredients and you just can't wait to dig in with a spoon! Bowl'D Açaí offers the kind of food my son's beloved swim coach calls "strong foods": Healthy foods meant to satisfy with enough carbs to power you through hours of working out yet not so heavy to weigh you down. Knowing this, Bowl'D Açaí is going to do gangbusters business once Fitness SF opens their beautiful new gym in November 2026 across the street in the Lombardi building. And good for them!

I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I…read moredecided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.
