It's a great little shop. Just a fun shop to visit. Service was great and we ordered and sampled several different hot dogs. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I found most dogs a little sweet for my pallet. That is more of a personal preference. read more

I am not much of an all beef dog girl so I wouldn't naturally gravitate to a hot dog place but I'm glad I did! They were welcoming and explained the menu system. You can order on a tablet or with the person behind the counter. If you show a ticket for a nearby show at one of the many theatres nearby you get 10 percent off. Parking is available at the Ohio statehouse garage for $5 during theatre evenings. I ordered a hot dog on gluten free bun with green Chicago relish and sweet coney sauce and nachos with homemade chili and mild cheese sauce. Both were exceptional! Combo with a fountain drink was $16 A few tables, restrooms but it's more of an eat and go. I could see it getting crowded fast. read more

Location; downtown Columbus, stumbled on this place while walking to another location for work. Food; The menu is listed on the wall, once you have figured out what you want multiple self order/check out systems which I thought was brilliant. I ordered the hot dog which crisp jalapenos and topping which was delicious, I want to go back and order two this time. Service; all the service staff was friendly. read more

I'm not a huge hot dog fan, but I appreciate a good one, and I like visiting the gourmet hotdog places once in a while. And I saw this place has an elote dog right now, on a pretzel bun, and I love pretzel buns and corn and spice and got here as soon as I could. It's a little place on High. I parked at the statehouse garage. Not busy at 630pm on a weekday, but I bet it gets very busy at peak. Super friendly owner (I assume) and his name is Mark as well, so that was nice. I just went with the elote dog and got a combo, so I added coleslaw and a drink. It was plenty. I was not starving when I arrived, so two dogs might be a more normal meal for me. But it's a pretty good size dog, and a pretty good all beef one, on a good bun, with corn and cheese and a tiny bit of heat. Not as messy as I figured, but I was glad for the tray. Oh, and crumbled tortillas on top. Anyway, a good blend of flavors, a good dog. And the slaw was creamy and tasty. All of that for under $20, which is a pretty good deal. They also have chicken sandwiches and salads and Chicago beef sandwiches, and ice cream. Fairly small space, but plenty of options, even if you're not really looking to have a dog. Super friendly staff. Talked to me while I sat there by myself, but also was very personable with everybody who came in, either to pick up Uber Eats or to dine in. I will definitely be back. Other things on the menu I want to try, and they seem to have interesting specials. read more

If you are downtown Columbus & you need a quick bite or ice cream Tasty Dawg is a good place to try. Staff is very helpful & quick service. It is close to the theater district & government offices. There are many options including Chicago style dawgs with new menu options every month. I enjoyed a Dawg New York style & my daughter ordered the chili cheese dawg. Make sure to grab extra napkins. Large portions. Next time I will try some of the sides as well. Theater patrons receive a discount as well. Check it out! read more

I went there for the hot dog but left impressed with the selection of Mac bowls which all looked really good. But for the hot dog, the Sweet Teddy's Coney was incredible. Throwing on some relish was a nice call, getting it on a sturdy pretzel bun was a good call, and getting this dog in general was the best call. So much selection and great tasting ingredients are hard to beat. read more

I had heard about Tasty Dawg, liked what I had heard, decided to check it out! The food was good, prices a little high for what you got! Didn't know that they promoted the "Gay Lifestyle" as much as they did. Way, way too much! The General Manager, Glenda, was very unprofessional and quite rude to my six year old granddaughter! Wouldn't go back if the food was free! read more

This was a solid choice for a quick bite. I had the Spicy Dawg and it was really good. Promotional free ice cream with a $5 purchase was nice, but it wasn't the best. Ambiance was okay, service was great, but the dawg was the star, as it should be. read more

Hot dogs were SO good! Thank you for having gluten-free buns as well. This may be my summer treats!

Friendly and local. Dawgs were good! Kid and adult approved! Something different than the normal chain restaurant. Definitely give it a try!

We stopped in about 15 min. before closing time, but the employee graciously offered to make me something even though the kitchen was closed. I opted for a plain hot dog with ketchup so nothing fancy. Loved the fun decor and the great location. The dog was a typical beef version, so nothing fancy. Next time I'll try something fancier. read more

Fun atmosphere and decent selection! We stopped in after a show at the Ohio Theater. My daughter had a scoop of peppermint stick ice cream and a plain hot dog. She really liked it! I had the pimento cheese hot dog. The guy working was very nice. I wasn't a huge fan of the pretzel roll and it could have been hotter (temperature). Overall, good experience and would recommend! read more

TBH, Tasty Dawg was our last choice of restaurants before a Saturday evening show at the Ohio Theater. But as it turned out, Tasty Dawg was a GREAT FAMILY EXPERIENCE: really tasty food, friendly and speedy service and a cool, city vibe (reminded me of hole-in-the-wall spots in NYC, but much more clean). I had a build your own dog (I could have made better choices), my wife had their Chicago dog (and went back for seconds!), and my daughter was uncharacteristically adventurous with her order of their crab Rangoon dog. We also had sodas, sides (chips, Mac-n-cheese, toasted potatoes), cookies AND ice cream - all for well less than $100. Tasty Dawg will be added to our regular list of pre-show restaurants! read more

Highly recommend checking places out. I was downtown for work and needed lunch. Used Yelp to determine a place to try that was walking distance. Ordered a Chicago Dog with a fountain drink. The dog was fully loaded and hit the spot! It was fully eaten less than 5 mins because I just couldn't put it down. Very savory with lots of good flavors and spice. Beyond dogs, I realized they also sold sandwiches and mac & cheese bowls. I look forward to trying this next time. Lastly, when you stop by, be sure to get a punch card. They're running a promotion- the most punches, the more likely to get something free! The service was top tier. They were EXTREMELY nice and engaging with everyone that came into the restaurant, whether they were ordering food or not. I really appreciated how engaging the team was. Check this place out! read more

the dawgs are great, the ice cream is great and the opportunity to donate to their free meals is awesome.

The service is incredible. I was just walking by and I saw a guy opening up the place and he was smiling and said good morning to me and that gesture made me stop in. The place looked energetic and he kept smiling like Santa Claus. Has the Hot dog ambiance. I walked around and then ordered 3 orders of food. I just wanted to support a business that welcomes you in because it's rare to find that anymore. Well, he also has ice cream from perry. He has a flavor called cannoli. It should be called holy cannoli because it was delicious. I ordered the Italian beef and it was tasty. Did I say they have ice cream. Ooo my. I really enjoyed the concept and they had a dawg bar. The only reason I didn't give 5 star is because of parking. It's a downtown biz so it is what it is. It's a must try. read more

Overall 4.5. The owner was very kind and helpful. Yes prices are a little high per hot dog. It is also extremely difficult to find a place to eat lunch in downtown Columbus. The city desperately needs to open up more restaurants or at least extend the hours. Too many places closed. Tasty Dawg was open and has more than enough seating available. The island bbq and Philly were very palatable. The hot dog itself is not tiny, good size. The pretzel bun goes well with the hot dog on both kinds. Ingredients were all fresh. read more

this place is wonderful! Really nice service and great hotdogs! It's always great to support a local red as well!

This place is amazing!! I'm from out of town and found this place from a Google search and I'm so glad that I came in. The hot dog and Mac n Cheese are great. Mark the owner was super personable and just a pleasure to talk to. Highly recommend and will be back when I come to Columbus. You must eat here!! read more

I heard these are the best dogs in town. It's true! The prices are amazing, too. Definitely come here if you appreciate a gourmet hotdog. LGBTQ friendly establishment as well. I recommend Tommy's Favorite Dawg. I'm not saying you shouldn't order more than one, but one was more than enough for me. read more

Nice storefront on High Street, with plenty of light and fresh air circulating through and friendly customer service is how I would describe Tasty Dawg downtown. The spicy dawg I got was pretty big, pleasing to the palate, and plenty filling with a side of baked beans to chase it all down. Though I think normally $12 would be pricey for one hot dog, I totally understand why that would be the price point in a place that gets spotty customer attendance at best (downtown is still mostly dead on weekends). I'll definitely be back! read more

Came across Tasty Dawg on Yelp when looking for dinner. Upon coming in, we were warmly welcomed and the restaurant was clean. The menu had many options, was very reasonably priced, and I loved how you could customize dishes and "make your own". The owner of the business chatted us up as we waited for our food and he was so kind-- you can definitely tell he cares about what he does and the community. We ordered 2 hot dogs, red potatoes, chicken and bacon Mac n cheese bowl, and nachos. The hot dogs were TO DIE FOR and the Mac and cheese was mouth watering. Portion sizes were great, and we will definitely be back! read more

This was my first time stopping at tasty dawg! I got the philly dog and loaded red potatoes which were great! Definitely filling, I only need one dog.‍ The highlight, however, was the people! Everyone was so kind and helpful. The staff stepped out from the counter to strike up conversations:) Definitely recommend stopping in when you're in the area. I sometimes struggle to find a spot to eat in the blocks surrounding the statehouse that are interesting and welcoming, so it's nice to have a new option discovered:( read more

Hot dogs were the best my boyfriend and I ever had! Staff was very friendly and informative. Very lgbtq+ friendly too!

This place is a whole lot like being in New York City! Having emerged from the Nut & Sweet shop across the street (See my other review about the Planters Nut Shop) My attention turned to finding a quick place to grab a bite to eat for lunch. I spotted Tasty Dawg and was sold by the signs on the window alone. I've never been to this little shop before, but haven't been to similar styled places in New York City I had a pretty good idea what I was in for. And, I was correct. Lots of specialty hotdogs on the menu some interesting side dishes and very, very reasonable prices. The shop is clean and well organized, and staffed with friendly, helpful people. Be sure to check out the hot dog mascot character statue in the dining area! I feel like this is an area theme, with Mr. Peanut right across the street!!! The menu I reviewed had 11 specialty dogs on it, and I selected the familiar chili cheese dog which came on a toasted pretzel bun - the bun was soft & tender on the inside with a firm crust on the outside - perfectly prepared. The toppings were generous and the spices used to prepare the sauce were flavorful. As a side I selected White Cheddar Mac N Cheese. It was another winner! Plenty of cheese here and the noodles were soft but held their firm consistency. Not overcooked and pasty like some macaroni and cheese that I've had elsewhere. Can't wait to come back and sample some of the other hot dog selections! read more

The best coney dog I've ever had! Wonderful staff and wonderful food! Highly recommended, probably the friendliest restaurant in downtown. They have a cute interior with a chill vibe. Cozy and nice place I would give them 10 stars if I could read more

Between the two of we got the Chicago Dawg, Sweet Teddys, and a Hawaiian. Two had pretzel buns and 1 had original bun with seeds. They were soft and not too hard to eat. All were messy but delicious! Highly recommended the Hawaiian if you like bbq. The loaded tots were ok. Soft, not crunchy with chili and lots of mustard. I wouldn't get the tots again but someone may like it. They also have Perry's ice cream. It was good. Yelp has a coupon if you check in but the new owner wasn't aware of it but still honored it. The biggest downside was the bathroom - it stunk to high heaven like pee. read more

So amazing, So tasty and So friendly! Mark the store owner created such a friendly and INCLUSIVE environment. It is absolutely rare to see such a great store owner! He talks to every customer, gets to know each one, gives amazing free samples and has a wicked sense of humor. Bathrooms are squeaky clean. Each hot dog is specifically catered to the individual including weighing their allergies, and preferences too. Gluten free, vegan/vegetarian friendly too! It is amazing!!!!!! And has nice coloquial music to make it like a homemade mom and pop shop read more

I've past this location numerous times since they filled the old Subway spot, so I finally popped in. Tasty Dawg is a small restaurant with about six or so small table tops, and a wide array of hot dog related options and ice cream. The staff is the best part of this location - friendly, thoughtful, and efficient. I'd only come in for a vegan dog, but ended up getting a combo with tator tots and a drink. Admittedly, I didn't need the drink but got a water anyway. The vegan dog was okay, nothing too spectacular. The encasement on the dog was a little tough but the dog was fairly tasty. The tater tots weren't too bad since they air fry them and not grease fry them. THAT is a big plus! Nothing worse than a little heartburn from fried tater tots. Not this time though, and I'm glad. My biggest gripe would be the cleanliness. The table tops looked like they hadn't been cleaned all day, so where I sat was littered with crumbs. The cost was okay, considering it's in the heart of downtown. I spent around $14 after a tip. Will I go again? Possibly when I'm in the mood for a vegan dog and don't wanna cook. For now, it's a decent little place to visit occasionally. Again, super sweet staff! It was a family-like atmosphere. read more

As a connoisseur of hotdogs this place is one of Ohio's best. My buddies and I travel all over the WV and Ohio to try the best hotdogs. This place was not on our recommended list, but so amazing. We stumbled upon this gem bc of a Hamilton play nearby . The hot dogs are amazing and even my non hotdog eating children and wife loved the hotdogs here. My oldest daughter got the Mac and cheese and loved it too. The coney sauce is very sweet but savory. The regular chili sauce is also really good , but is a better version of hormel sauce. Overall, it is fantastic. Run, don't walk, to get to this place. Sooooo good. It is hands down the place in Ohio so far we have tried. read more
