    Monster
    Brian M.

    When it's 1 or 2 am and you're leaving the club or bar scene and you step outside the first thing you smell is that delicious grilled up Seattle dog (hot dog) there is no way you just going to walk by it without grabbing one. The way they grill it and add all kinds of good good on it .. maaaan! Listen if you ain't from Seattle and you around cap hill you definitely gotta get yourself a monster Seattle dog ..

    One of the best polish hot dogs I've had ever! We were walking back to our air bnb from meeting with friends at a pool hall close by. Stopped by to try this place out. It's a stand right outside a nightclub. I don't usually do street food, but this place is a must try when in Seattle. Plus I saw that they were featured on the travel channel, so they have to be good! Thank you monster dogs for the great polish hot dogs! I can't wait to stop by again soon!

    Came here before we went bar hopping on a Saturday night. $5 gets you a loaded hot dog on Capitol Hill. The actual hot dog is grilled and juicy. The bun is nice and chewy and compliments the dog well. You can choose to add jalapeños, relish, and other condiments. I can't imagine just how much more delicious the hot dog would have been had I been drunk like most of the customers probably are. :)

    Homie -- You're drunk AF and need a carby, meaty sustenance after a night of shaking your ass and mixed drinks. So go here. Order their Spicy Beef Dog, Seattle style (aka w/ cream cheese). They butterfly the wiener, grill both sides, and then nestle it in between a beautifully soft bun. For toppings, I asked for horseradish and mustard. Fantastic, soul-satisfying stuff. Other things to know: - Find it outside of Neomos. - Don't take too longer to order. - A dog will set you back something born of $6. - They accept credit cards. You're welcome.

    I am shocked and confused... how does this place only have 36 reviews and only 4 stars?! I feel like I've been going here the past 10 years?! This is Home of the Seattle dog for me!! This spot is where I had my very first Seattle dog and it remains my favorite spot EVER! For me, this place is considered an iconic little establishment serving up a truly seattleite delicacy! The Seattle dog consist of a perfectly grilled polish link in a toasted bun smothered in cream cheese and covered with sweet caramelized onions!!! This amazing street snack tastes like home!!! The gentlemen who run this stand are so friendly and efficient! They always put the perfect amount of cream cheese for me and have the best topping and condiment selection! Sometimes I leave it as is because it is perfect. Other times I like to add a spritz of mayo and mustard with sriracha and jalapeños! I love this place. When out of towners want some of that Seattle good-good, I make them try Monster Dog lol The best in the NorthWest!!

    I read somewhere that getting a hot dog from a hot dog stand was one of the top things to do in Seattle. I am a believer! For $5 a hot dog, you get your choice of 3 different kinds, a beef polish sausage, beef hot link, or a veggie dog. I got the beef polish sausage with all the fixings (grilled onions & cream cheese) and it was amazing! Previous to this experience, I have NEVER had cream cheese on my hot dog (and people always thought it was weird that I liked mayonnaise on my hot dogs...). I'd like to say that now I am a believer! The sausage was cooked to perfection (kind of tasted like the Costco polish sausages) and the bun was soft and warm. I definitely could see myself seeking this out after a night of drinking. Will definitely be back.

    One of our first stops on our Seattle trip was Dog In The Park. While this place may look a bit…read moresketchy, it's a well-known brand throughout the city with multiple locations, serving up great dogs! A Seattle dog is a quintessential food item while visiting Seattle. I am happy to say the Dog In The Park Seattle Dog lived up to my expectations. A crispy grilled dog, cream cheese, and plenty of grilled veggies. There are loads of toppings to choose from, too, but the young man serving up the dogs recommended just plain for the first time to really get the classic experience. I think some light mustard and maybe some saurkraut would have been a great addition. Friendly service and good recommendations for a first-timer, though. This location is located not too far from Pike Place and Westlake station. Convenient location. The price is great too! Go enjoy a Dog In The Park!

When I kindly asked for no cabbage and only onions the guy said "okay" only to turn around and give me a hot dog covered in cabbage. When I went to specify my order he just shoved the POS at me and turned to the next person. Mind you the vegetables are not premixed so he could've easily just thrown onions on the grill.

Overall just a really fun little bar with a lot of character. I'd absolutely come back.

They have games, an ATM to get quarters to play the games, free condoms box above the quarter ATM. And my favorite part a Photo Booth! A great bar to me has a Photo Booth, street fighter, and private booths. This has it all. Love how we can have fun playing games, taking pics, choosing a song, and having great conversations in the comfy booths. Service is helpful. One night one of the games ate our quarters up and never worked so we let the bartender know and a few minutes later he gave us our quarters back. Staff is efficient and keeps the bar clean picking up any left behind glasses quickly. The bar is quirky and fun. Private and comfy booths, and lots of clowns everywhere. Sad clowns, happy clowns, creepy clowns, and more clowns than you can count! The bathrooms are unisex with plenty of stickers to look at. Always hand soap and toilet paper available even when busy. Hard working staff! Some areas of the bar like near the bathrooms have flashy lights and makes it feel like you're at the circus. The vibe is laid back and care free. Have yet to try the food so no words on that quite yet! Always a great time at Shorty's. Literally one of my favorite bars! Highly recommend!

Several different options with hotdogs and polish sausage- my absolute favorites are the Seattle Dog and the Midnight Sophie. Whichever you choose- don't forget to ask for some of their homemade slaw to top that beautiful dog! I first found Secret Sausage outside the Owl and Thistle in Pioneer Square. Then outside the Clink after a game. It was an elusive Seattle street food treat- and in a lot of ways still is. They've expanded in recent years so sometimes you can find them at Microsoft campuses on occasion too. But I'll let you in on a little secret... they have a deal with the Thunderbird Tavern in Ballard. So if you're craving a Seattle Dog on a random Tuesday at 8:30pm for example... high tail it to the Thunderbird and get you one! Especially on a warm Summer evening: a Seattle dog with extra slaw, a glass of your favorite cold drink and a spot on the back patio - doesn't that sound so good right now?! Another favorite with Secret Sausage is The Firlander Sauce. While I personally am not a big fan of hot sauce, this spicy condiment has been a staple in our family for several years now. I've been told it makes a good gourmet hotdog over-the-top good! Ha! So if you're a hot sauce fan- it's a must try. Locally owned small business with a commitment to quality. Every hotdog I've ever had from them (ahem, and there have been a few over the years,) has been consistently good. Seriously, the best!
