Maybe it was years working in a donut and hot dog store as a bright young teenager that put me off hot dogs for an eternity. But Snag Stand have created a "haute dog" that makes me forget those years long enough to order and surprisingly enjoy the "sausage in a bun" before me. Sure it's fast food, but at $9.90 they pack a lot of quality ingredients into a cheap and quick take-away option. Hanger levels were rising last week when I ran through the Queens Plaza food court. Note to self: don't walk through a food court when you're hangry. Scanning the choices, Snag Stand seemed a reasonable choice given I hadn't had the chance to try them at the Yelper Party. I ordered the chicken and rocket hot dog and was given a buzzer (so RSL, loved it). My order was made fresh and my buzzer promptly alerted me to its arrival. The hot dog itself? Fresh, tasty and not at all the idea that I have of a hot dog. There was no greasy ick feeling after eating and the rocket, tomato and red onion is a fresh-food kick more hot dogs need. read more

Snag Stand - Chicken & Rocket - Fast Food Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

Snag Stand describes itself as a "gourmet sausage grill" and "the home of heavenly haute dogs". With those words I was intrigued. Located in Queens Plaza's Food court,taking over from the old Crepe Cafe, I had to try this for myself. Their menu has standard mouthwatering options on offer with delectable descriptions to match, such as the "American Classic", "German Bratwurst", "Currywurst", "Spicy Spanish Chorizo", through to the "Australia fare". Ranging from $6.90 to the more fancy "Wagyu Beef" at $10.90. You can go with the DIY option, and choose your own roll (Brioche, Rustic or Poppy Seed), your choice of sausage, and toppings at $1.00 each, (from sauteed onions to house made sauerkraut or coopes ale bbq sauce to name a few). Gluten Free rolls attract an additional $1.00 and for the health concious you can go naked..no not you, but the snag! So no bun but with your choice of salad and grilled sausage for $9.90. I decided to play it safe and boring, going with the American Classic. A "wood smoked frankfurter with american yellow mustard, tomato sauce, onions & sweet relish on a toasted brioche roll" for only $6.90. Service was friendly, and amazingly quick. Especially useful for those days when you don't have much time for lunch. As for the "gourmet" hot-dog? It was okay. It didn't blow my mind as I had hoped. The sausage (the main attraction in any hot-dog performance), was pretty bland and dry, maybe even undercooked.The saving grace was the toasted brioche roll, which had a slight sweetness to it, and with the relish, mustard, onions and sauce combining to give it a bit of life. For $6.90 and its size, it was relatively good value. So is Snag Stand really "gourmet" and home for "heavenly haute dogs" or just cleverly marketed? A bit of both. But I will definitely try them again, and not just because the Homer Simpson in me wants to. There's enough there on the menu to suggest that there can be a party in my mouth next time. read more

Snag Stand - Fast Food Near Me - Brisbane, QLD

Not knowing what to eat on a Sunday, me and Jo decided to grab lunch at Snag Stand in the David Jones shopping centre in the city before watching Monsters University - which we have been planning to see for weeks. While I'm not the biggest fan of hot dogs for the most part - I do enjoy a good sausage, and even a hot dog from Costo from time to time. Since there really aren't that many places that offer sausages etc. in Brisbane, we decided to give this a try, since they apparently offer hand crafted artisan sausages. Their offerings actually sounded delicious, and we ended up sharing the Wagyu Beef (10.9) and the Spicy Cheese Kransky (8.9), along with a side of onion rings (6) and chipotle mayo sauce. The Wagyu beef comes with a butter & garlic mash, gravy, and sauteed onions, and while it wasn't as flavourful as the Cheese Kransky, was good because of the garlic mash (I'm sold by potatoes!). The Spicy Cheese Kransky was barely spicy at all, even with the sriacha mayo component. The sun-dried tomatoes and cheddar cheese added a nice twist on the regular sausage, and I think we both liked this one better. The onion rings were nothing like 'merican style battered onion rings, but were nonetheless fresh and decent. For a regular "fast food" corner in the food court of Queens Plaza, I think I'm liking this place. Not to mention, the cashier was friendly even though it doesn't matter all that much in a food court... read more

We have come here several times after initially trying out their snags at a Yelp event last year. They offer some gluten-free snags which my husband really loves. There are some interesting choices, but sometimes they run out of specific ones. For instance, I have always wanted to try their Nacho Libre but was never able to because they are sold out, but as of late seem no longer offered. Staff here are always friendly. This isn't a dining establishment, but a fast-food stand inside the Queens Plaza. They do provide pagers to alert you when food is ready for pick up (usually within 5-10 minutes). read more

Never thought I'd give such a high rating to a sausage/hot dog place! But honestly? There's a reason why there's always a line awaiting food at this little stand in the David Jones. There are around 12 different "normal" items which range from chicken sausage to wagyu beef to German bratwurst. You can find just about any sausage under the sun and made a variety of ways (think ethnic relishes and grilled onions/sauerkraut). Also, they stick to the themes with names such as "American Classic" and "Spicy Spanish Chorizo" with some relevant ingredients added in for each dog. Long story short, I've never had a bad hot dog here but would recommend most the Toulouse (a French pork sausage with mushrooms and sauteed onions - yum!) or the Wagyu Beef dog which consists of garlic mash and gravy. The creamy consistency of the mash meshes so well with the slightly spicy and hearty wagyu beef sausage. However, at the end of the day, if we were only talking about the hot dog/sausages, Snag Stand really should only get 3 out of 4 stars due to the price - $9+ for your average dog. But the thing that pushes Snag Stand from "good" to "great" is the chips. Oh my goodness! I'm not sure how exactly they do it but the seasoning, texture and fried-ness is just always done so perfectly. There's no need for any ketchup or other dips. Just bask in the deliciousness of these fantastic fries. Just typing this makes me want to go for an order! Snag Stand - definitely worth checking out and don't forget your chips! read more

Four of out five classics! This is located in Queens Plaza and is a gourmet take on the classic sausage sizzle. Each dish looks like a large hotdog but they are have ingredients like wagyu beef or lamb and rosemary. Mmmm. My most recent try was the Wagyu beef which comes served with mashed potato and gravy. It was awesome. The downside of this is of course the price. Some of the dishes are $10 for what amounts to a fancy hotdog in bread. But they are tasty and there are some cheaper options and sometimes a lunch special for $6. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and will be going back. read more

It always seems as if themes of restaurants and cheap dining spots happen in clumps. There has been the Mexican explosion and now it seems as if Sausages and Snags are the 'it' cheap dining option. A little while ago the Snag Stand opened up in Queens Plaza in the CBD and I instantly fell in love with it. It used to be that on a Saturday afternoon I would go to the shop, buy some sausages and then cook them on the BBQ No longer, a quick trip down the street to the Snag Stand and I have a wonderful range of sausages in a bun. There are heaps of options but I invariably find myself drawn to the spicy chorizo on a brioche bun with sun dried tomatoes, chipotle mayonnaise and spanish goats cheese. Yum I first saw a Snag Stand in Sydney and thought it was a great idea, now it's up here I can get my fill of spicy chorizo any time I want. It's quick and easy and delicous! read more

The Snag Stand is a reflection of Brisbane's newest obsession: the fancy hot dog or sausage. Like similar outlets, Snag Stand sells a number of different sausages, paired with condiments, all nestled into one of a variety of different buns. At the end of the day though, the Snag Stand doesn't go far enough away from its name. It is just selling you a simple snag in a simple bun at a very high price. It fails to pull off the gourmet or "haute" angle that is trying to push so hard. The snag I had was a nice frankfurter but nothing worth writing home about. This would have been fine had the brioche bun not been such a letdown. The bun didn't taste of brioche at all, the bread was far too soft and cakelike. It felt more like they had taken an average breadroll and added yellow food dye to approximate the brioche look (but still missing it). The chips and dipping sauce that come as a side are well done, though they messed up the sauce on my order. I didn't mind getting a different sauce as I wasn't that committed, but I didn't care for the sloppy service. At the end of the day, the snags aren't that remarkable, the bread is disappointing, and the price is way high for food from a food court. There's better places to have lunch in the city, so unless you're really craving a sausage and you're in Queen's Plaza, maybe go somewhere else. read more

The shop is located in the food centre of Queens Plaza. Something has hit me hard when I walked into the foodcourt for lunch. And definitely, it was the aroma of the hot dogs on the grillers. I was walking towards the stall and only to find that there are many choices of burgers and hot dogs to choose from. Standing stunned for awhile and decided to approach the counter girl for great suggestions. She suggested me to go for lamb and rosemary hotdog but then, I already knew I wanted to try wagyu beef hot dog. Maybe I just wanted to talk to the counter girl..hahah.. but you know what, sure I will try that lamb and rosemary next time. The waguy beef hotdog was presented on the crispy bun with the mashed potato as its topping. I ain't a big fan of that mashed potato and wagyu beef hot dog is a little too salty for me. But the hotdog was definitely a great fill-up for lunch craving. See you next time, Snag Stand! read more

Impressive variety of sausages including various beef, lamb, German, chicken and vegetarian options. Also chips and onions rings. I just had the Toulouse which I enjoyed and look forward to sampling the other options. Fresh cooked and nicely presented with variety of toppings (mushrooms, tomatoes, feta etc) and condiments related to each option. At $10.90 (they start at $7.90) it's a little pricey for me just because I like a lunch that will completely fill me up, but that's to be expected. Nice treat though. read more

Can only speak for this one that i visited in Queen St Mall. It was late afternoon on a Saturday when we placed our order. I wanted the Beetroot Horseradish, as i'm a vegetarian. Upon sitting down discovered that the docket said beef. Husband went up to fix it and the staff were like "but thats vegetarian", "there's no meat in it" "are you sure thats what you want". So im guessing they don't get a lot of veggie requests there. The snag itself was pretty good. The onion rings we had along with it were pretty bad. Seemed very limp and soggy. They weren't crisp or fresh and i was a bit disappointed. Won't be getting them again. For what we paid, it was quite expensive. Could almost have gone to a restaurant and gotten a meal for the price of this place. Would give them another go in another location just to be sure, but i'm not sold on it. read more

This is a very very bad choice to get s hot dog. Having been to the States I can honestly tell you that their hot dogs are very mediocre at best. Get s $1.99 hot dog and a 500ml soft drink in Costco Northlakes instead! read more

We came to sunshine plaza for a late lunch.. And went to try Snag Stand for a good American burger. What we got is a burnet beef burger and a burnt bun. The service was slow and they forgot our sauces. I went to give my feedback to the chef and all she did was smile and say okay thanks for that.. No solutions or care was given to gain my satisfaction. Never going to Snag Stand again. read more

Staff have no idea about their 'veggie' dogs. Also they cooked my 'veggie' dog in the middle of all the meat dogs. Won't ever come back. If u gonna give people an option of veggie dogs at least do it correctly or not at all. The girl that serviced us (Jess) learn to smile and greet customers and don't roll ur eyes just cos we asked questions u can't answer!!! read more
