When you walk in here, you are immediately reminded why you love it here... owner Harvey Loewenstein. You'll find Harvey behind the counter, ready to take your order. He represents everything you love about a true, independent neighborhood spot -- passion, pride, and a genuine connection to his customers. This place is a labor of love. Started back in 2008 by Harvey and his wife Judy Zimmer, Hotdogopolis isn't just serving hot dogs... it's delivering a proper Chicago-style experience right here in Boca. The foundation is top-notch -- Vienna Beef hot dogs, authentic rolls, and all the right ingredients. From there, it's anything you want... every possible topping, done the right way. The Chicago dog is the star, of course -- dragged through the garden and perfectly executed. Snap, flavor, balance... just excellent. The Chicago Dog was perfect, A dog with Cole Slaw and Onions, also great. French Fries are a must order. When I ordered a Malt, Harvey made it himself! Wow!! What also sets this place apart is the variety. Not in the mood for a classic? They've got game meat hot dogs as well -- something a little different, and a fun change of pace if you're looking to mix it up. Reminded me of the legendary long-gone Chicago spot, Hot Doug's. But beyond the food, it's the feel of the place. Casual, unpretentious, and real. The kind of spot that reminds you why these independently owned gems matter so much. Harvey isn't just running a business -- he's putting himself into it every day, and it shows. Great product, great guy, great experience. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Mediocre on a bun! I went to Hotdogopolis in Boca today. I had a Restaurant.com coupon which I bought 14 years ago. NO Expiration it says on the coupon and their website. My wife bet me $100 that they wouldn't take it. So, I showed it to the elderly owner/ cashier, he frowned, and bellyached that it was purchased 14 years ago. I showed him No expiration. He called the company, who had me in their system, but no record of the coupon code. He told me he couldn't honor it, he'd go broke if he did. I asked if he'd been in business 20 years, and it wouldn't kill him if he extended a little customer service for the $10 off of a $ 20 purchase. (Spent $35.00) Apparently, Restaurant .com changed their coding system years ago. So, I psid cash (with a 15% discount). Needless to say, the hot dogs were borderline awful, the fries were mealy. That was a half-hour I won't ever get back. And I wont be patronizing his business again. Yuck! And I lost the bet. read more

Super fun and cool casual lunch spot! They have limited hours, but it is very affordable and the staff was friendly! I had a Chicago dog with voodoo chips because I was in a rush and just went for a classic, but they had a pretty extensive menu of some creative hot dogs! read more

This family owned hotdog shop is absolutely delicious. He extensive menu offer something for everyone's taste. Today I was adventurous and tried the duck sausage with foie gras -.

It's a simple laid-back establishment, but the food is always so delicious read more

Small place but has a large variety of hot dogs & sausages with equal variety of specialty combinations. They also have lots of game sausages like Elk, Venison, Wild Bore, etc. Woukd recommend to any "dog" enthusiast. read more

Pops got out of work early today, and decided to go meet him in Delray for Lunch. Craving Something different, we went to Hotdogopolis! Going inside, it seems most of the tables were full, but we were seated quickly. Today, we ordered 1x Carolina dog with a wild boar jalapeño & cheddar flavored sausage, 1x ChicagoDog, 1x Korean Dog, and 1x small fry. Moving on with my review, everything was AWESOME! The Carolina dog had meaty scrumptious flavor between the boar and chili. Never can go wrong with an original chicago dog as the tangy and bright flavors mesh so well! And the Korean dog had nice contrast of ingredients (especially that chinese mustard as it had quite a kick!). The fries were freshly cut, crispy, and fluffy inside as well. Overall, for the quantity and quality of our visit, I would happily award Hotdogoplis 5/5 stars! read more

Just WOW! I heard about this from another business post and decided to grab a bite. My partner in crime and I went to this wonderful restaurant for amazing hot dog experience. Service was great and very patient as I tried to figure out what type of hot dog I wanted. The hot dogs were great quality, the bun was ... let's say fantastic- so soft and coated with wonderful seeds. The sauerkraut was great- get the sautéed onions as a topper...trust me!!! This place is deservedly the king of hot dogs. I don't eat hot dogs often...for many reasons but predominantly because my stomach hurts after. ( which I didn't experience after eating here) This place was delightful and we plan to go back to enjoy the plethora of hot dog options you can devour. Support local businesses!! read more

This is such a fun and unique experience! It's definitely old-school Boca. It's a cute little place with a few tables. It's a nonstop flux of customers and it's a mixed crowd. The team members are really kind and bring all the food to your table. I'm unfortunately allergic to hot dogs, but they do have other menu items including chicken sausage, salads and more. I tried to order a wrap but they weren't available. I instead ordered a chicken sandwich. The bun was really good but the chicken was a little chewy. The star of the show was the french fries. They tasted freshly cut, they were crunchy but soft and they had the perfect amount of salt. My dad ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my mom ordered a caesar salad. The dressing for the salad was really good and I'll be trying the salad next time. We also ordered onion rings, which were cooked perfectly. We ended the meal with a chocolate malt milk shake and it was so good. I've been on the hunt for a good milkshake for years, and I've finally found one! It's perfectly sweet and not too thick. They also had some milkshake left over and they brought it out to us in a second cup. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in South Florida! read more

Food: best hot dogs I've ever had in my life. There are so many options! Such a wide menu with cool different options. Great cola options! Service: Kind and patient. We once ordered for our whole family. 10 different hot dogs. Very mom and pop and I love that. Ambiance: cozy and clean. Such a nice hole in the wall. I just wish they had longer hours during the week so we can go after work. Other than that, I highly recommend!!! read more

Hotdogopolis - Chili with cheese and onions hotdogs, Chicago dog, classic mustard ketchup onions and relish with fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

This is another visit to Hotdogopolis and I felt compelled to update my review because the food keeps pulling me back. The hot dogs are legitimately delicious. Perfectly cooked with a fresh, soft poppy seed roll which elevates the whole thing to another level. It's the kind of bun that makes you understand why some places obsess over bread. They've replaced the tables and old chairs with newer, sturdier ones - big improvement and much appreciated. The dining area feels cleaner and more comfortable now. The chili is excellent: rich, meaty, and well-seasoned. I also got the red onion sauce this time, but fair warning - it's basically all sauce with onion pieces swimming in it. If you love that classic saber NY style red onion sauce, you'll be happy. If you're expecting lots of actual onions, temper your expectations. The macaroni salad is solid too - creamy enough that it pairs well with everything. Only real downside remains the service. The staff isn't rude, exactly, but they always seem a little annoyed or stern, like they're doing you a favor by taking your order and bringing out your food. They have a great product here - a smile and a little warmth would go a long way. Still giving it solid 4.5 stars because the food is worth it, but a friendlier vibe would easily push this place to a 5. A solid 4.5 read more

If you love Chicago like me you know hot dogs are their staple. Saying that I found a hidden gem! I found this place via google. Much to my surprise it was a delight. The hot dogs are absolutely mouth watering. Not to mention, if you are a foodie like me you know that the color of the grease is either bad or good. This place clearly cleans their oil frequently. The fries and onion rings was the cherry on top. Highly recommend. Keep slinging those dog! read more

I've been missing hot dogs so much and we tried this place on a whim. Got the Chicago and the New York style jumbo. Hot dogs were great! Never expected the fixings on the Chicago would work but it was a great combination! It had a little bit of heat at times too! I'm not a fan of soft greasy fries, but I know my daughter will love them! Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Love their dogs. Not SuperDwag but a decent imitation. Friendly staff with a nice family touch. Highly recommend.

So I'm at work yesterday hungry for a hotdog looked on yelp. I'm not far from hot dog Opolis. Well that was probably the best decision I made all day upon walking in when they opened at 11 nice atmosphere lotta cool things hanging on the walls an older gentleman sitting behind the counter, took my order. I ordered a Chicago dog, which was outrageous. Now I start noticing the things on the wall everything's about Chicago so that intrigues me to ask about an Italian beef sandwich, which is one of my all-time favorites let me tell you what if you like Italian beef sandwiches get your butt down there today because it was the best sandwich you could have without being actually in Chicago. I loved it. I'll be back. I'm a customer forever. Well done. read more

Really cute place. I haven't been here in a while, but it seems to be the same as it was before. Great place to get a Chicago dog with all the types of fixings. The menu is really varied and it has game meat too which is pretty unique to hot dog places. I had my usual Colombian dog. Quality is as I remember it and for a couple bucks you can get a drink and fries with it. Really affordable place to grab some lunch with today's prices. If you eat in then the food is brought to you and you clean up after yourself. Good service, the place is friendly. read more

Food Colombian Dog - All beef hot dog was juicy and upfront. The cheese was doll compared to the pink sauce, which was definetly house made the steamed poppyseed bun is good. It's not soggy and it appears nicely with the hot dog and pink sauce soaks up a lot of of the tones that you're getting the potato chips were good. They're definitely needs to be more on top. 6.8/10 Fries - soft interior lightly crispy outside bit light on the salt, real potato real fry 5.8/10 Korean - poppyseed onion combo, amazing kimchi, providing clean sharpness throughout the bite all beef hotdog, soaking up the juices of that kimchi making this taste almost like a beef stew with a poppyseed bun. 7.9/10 Israeli - hummus and sun-dried tomato explosion, soaked, sun-dried tomato, in something that resembles vinegar paired with what look like caramelized onions, create a fatty earthy fantastic bite for the senses. This truly feels like something I eat at a falafel shop somehow, the beef hotdog place so brilliantly with these flavors. 8.4/10 Pheasant Cognac Sausage - steamed poppyseed bun feel so nice in my hands taste like the first time you smell barbecue in the air, but you're having a cup of eggnog because it's cold out and it's Christmas the gamey but clean taste reminds me of the holidays, which means cognac most definitely must be involved. It's a really good sausage and I'm very surprised. 9.0/10 read more

As a New York snob of the best hot dogs anywhere, this is a nicely run joint with good quality but not the real thing, a hotdog without natural casings is a fraud, a dog that doesn't stick out beyond the roll is wrong. You must use at least at number 6 dog for any hotdog to be considered the real deal. Go to Legend like Pinks of LA or Grays Papaya of NYC or Nathan's Coney Island that's the hotdog the rocks the world. French Fries are great. Just change the dogs to the Vienna Beef all natural casings # 6 dog and now you're cooking. read more

They do a great job on their Chicago dog.Which is what I have every time I go. i think they have the best french fries in this part of Florida. As a Chicago guy. I would highly recommend read more

OMG, Hotdogopolis!! So good! I walked-in and dove head-first into a fantasy hot dog world; a hotdog opolis. The beauty of their menu is that you can opt for the traditional Chicago dawg while also choosing from among different cuisine-themed hot dogs (believe me, it's like Sophie's Choice). I chose three hot dogs - the Chicago (loaded with relish, a pickle slice, tomato, onion pepper and lined with (has to be) yellow mustard), the Columbian (with a light, slightly sweet, creamy "pink" sauce and a quail egg (how cool is that?)) and the Carolina (with chili, white onions, and coleslaw and a slight kick) (they were all on a poppy seed bun). Each one stood on its own and was a joy with each bite - not to get too detailed, but I took a bit or two out of one, drank some water to clear my palette, then took a bite out of the next, etc. (they were like fine hot dog wines). The price is quite reasonable, too, less than $20. I intend to go back and try each hot dog. I think that's a good life goal. read more

love hotdogopolis every time i go to florida its a must. The place must be a staple always busy and always good .

This place is a hidden gem! It's cozy and charming, with limited but adequate indoor seating that fits perfectly with the vibe of a classic hot dog spot. Looks family run with the same crew, very friendly. The fun artwork and old-school feel add to the overall experience. They offer a wide variety of hot dogs to choose from, and every single one we've tried has been fantastic. I usually go for the Polish or regular hot dog, while my husband loves their chili cheese dog, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious every time we visit. 10/10, we'll definitely be back! read more

I cant believe the reviews. Firstof all the place was filthy approaching I have never seen dirtier windows ever, not one wiped off clean table, trash was over flowing into another trash can on the floor. A man and woman who said, they owned the place took our order. Ordered a Chicago Dog and the bun immediately broke out at the bottom, complete mess, we also ordered a Chicago hot tamale it was microwaved dry. Chicago style Italian beef I asked for it a little wet with some au jus on the side. It was soaked floating in au jus it could not be picked up. The young girl who worked there seemed to have no clue. I would not go back again. The biggest turn off the the dirty look of the place. Sorry, there were many people in there. I would not step foot into that place again. Terrible first time experience. read more

Not the most welcoming. Small establishment. Stood in front of the register without acknowledgement. Food average.
