POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! I decided not to purchase anything from Dogs the Curb after observing the…read morecustomer service experience my friend received. From the moment we approached the truck, there was little sense of hospitality. My friend was greeted with "What's up?" rather than a welcoming greeting. When they asked about a specific menu item, the employee responded, "What do you want me to say?" instead of providing information about the food. Another employee appeared to be asleep during the interaction, and when my friend asked to purchase a bottle of water, the employee simply pointed at the cooler without speaking. Customer service is an important part of any dining experience, and what I witnessed left a negative impression. As a result, I chose not to place an order. I hope the business works on improving customer engagement and professionalism moving forward.

Hot dogs were mediocre at best - had both the Jamaican Jerk Dog and the Classic Dog. Since this…read morewas my first time having Dogs on the Curb, I figured the classic dog would be a good baseline for what to expect but, immediately regretted paying $8 for a slightly better than normal all beef hotdog. I found the Jamaican Jerk Dog to be very salty but was glad that I grabbed a fork and knife to eat with. Customer service was meh, yes it's hot outside but at least smile and immediately greet customers who are spending $8+ on a hotdog, $3 on a 16.9oz bottle of water (really shouldn't be more than $1 based on the per bottle cost) and $2 for a small bag of chips.

I tried this spot for burgers and fries, and it was pretty average overall. The burger itself was…read morefine, but it got a little soggy, so it didn't really stand out as anything special. The "holy sauce" was also pretty mid--I couldn't really figure out what the flavor was supposed to be. The highlight was definitely the seasoned fries. They were crispy, flavorful, and honestly the best part of the meal. Not a bad place overall but everyone in there said it was a great place they got to regularly

I love the street art graffiti style decor. There isn't a lot of indoor dining despite having the…read morespace to accommodate. There is also no public restroom which supports why the indoor dining isn't much. The food was hot fresh and made to order. I ate my food late so I unfortunately didn't capture a worthy photo to display in this review. I did order the spicy nuggets and fries. The chicken was well seasoned but the spicy has a delayed fuse which is tasty but will get you. I do like the crispy style fries. The service was friendly and what you'd expect along the lines of carry/take out. The dipping sauces are good currently the mumbo sauce was my favorite followed by the house mixture. 3.5 out of 5

We tried: +the Dirty Dog - this was a hot dog topped with their housemade chili meat sauce, black beans (which we requested to opt out of, but still came with), yellow sharp cheese, and the option to add jalapenos, which we did; the chili meat sauce was just okay, but didn't complement the hot dog itself; the hot dog itself was extremely salty, even for me; the 'yellow sharp cheese' was more of the liquified nacho-like cheese sauce, which wasn't necessary - maybe shredded would have been better? For drinks, we had the strawberry watermelon lemonade and the Ben's Purple Passion Lemonade; both were very refreshing and tasty! We were curious about their brisket sandwich, but they had ran out, so that was disappointing!

An extra plus is all the space/ seating they gave, the walls full of photos and their accolades and the mural outside.

What did we have? Why the Original Half Smoke of course! Lucky for us, it was a random weekday and there wasn't a line waiting to get in. Upon entering this diner you can feel the nostalgia, but let's just say the employees aren't the most welcoming (it could have been an off day). The restrooms definitely need a bit more care (at least keep the paper towels restocked), but other than that, the seat yourself eatery wasn't too bad. The link didn't disappoint! The flavor has the perfect combination of seasonings and the chili and onions on top paired perfectly.

I went to the Nationals vs. Dodgers game last Saturday afternoon with a big group. Sometime during…read morethe second inning, half of the group left to find something to snack on. 2-3 innings later, they each came back with a K-Dog which made my mouth water. Despite the inflated stadium pricing, I soon scurried off to find Ssong's Hotdog, which is located near Section 308. The line was sizable, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn to place my order. Unfortunately, they were out of almost everything. The potato mozz sausage stick -- the one I drooled over -- would require a 30 minute wait, which I wasn't down for. MOZZ SAUSAGE STICK - 11.49 This was the only option they had left, which is half mozz and half beef sausage. It was pretty small -- four bites and it was gone. The top half was the mozzarella part, which was completely hollow with maybe a few cobweb strands of mozzarella, so it was mainly batter. Overall, incredibly disappointing K-Dog, and it was stale too! I don't know if I'll attend another baseball game, but if I do, I don't think I'll be back at this K-Dog stall.
