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!

The Elote (bottom)
Izzie L.

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!!!

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

And the matcha ice cream barely tasted like matcha. There isn't much decor to speak of, it's a store front only and no interior. And the sign for "reasons we don't give samples" is funny but feels excessive. I still thoroughly enjoyed it though and will likely come again.

It ended up being one of my favorite stops in the city, and I really look forward to coming back soon. It's an easy one to get to on a walk in the area. It feels like a cafe or coffee roaster, so modern and clean, but with a clear love of everything chocolate. I'm told on the weekends it gets super busy thanks to their menu of chocolate infused everything including coffees and teas. On the left to the inside is their full range of bars, which includes a placard with the location of the cacao and tasting notes. There are also free samples of everything, and the servers can help you with questions. They even have little tasting sheets for notes if you want to get serious and remember for future visits. They have a few tables and bar seating at the front, with more bar seating along the back right leading to the clean restrooms. Here you'll also find educational displays about chocolate and viewing windows to the roasting and processing rooms. Even though it was afternoon, it was so much fun to order things with caffeine just for the sheer joy of it. We had the chocolate milk, I had a chocolate infused black tea, we shared a special new bar, and were given their signature tiny cookies. Prices are reasonable for the quality, both the drinks and the bar. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they clearly love the place as much as we do.

I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

My first visit was on September 29, 2026. There were only three people ahead of us, and the bakery was selling just mooncakes. I bought one Lotus Paste Seed with One Egg mooncake for $12.50. My second visit was on October 18, 2026. There were over 20 people in line for mooncakes and custard tarts, but the line moved quickly. I bought two Lotus Paste Seed with One Egg mooncakes for $12.50 each. The mooncakes were delicious, with a tasty lotus seed paste filling and one egg. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I only eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I still look forward to them every year. I highly recommend Golden Gate Bakery's mooncakes!
