History
Established in 2007.
Zippity Do Dog has been a beloved MetroWest tradition for 19 years, serving generations of customers from its iconic hot dog trailer. What started as a simple passion for great hot dogs and friendly service has grown into a local landmark known for quality food, familiar faces, and a welcoming atmosphere.
In 2026, Zippity entered its fourth generation of ownership when Chefs Alan and Paponake MacIntosh took over the business. As longtime restaurant owners and chefs with more than 60 years of combined culinary experience, they are committed to preserving the legacy built by previous owners while bringing their own passion for hospitality and quality ingredients to the menu.
Today, Zippity continues to serve the classics that customers love, including grilled Kayem hot dogs, jumbo all-beef dogs, Angus burgers, and Italian sausage hoagies, while honoring the tradition that has made it a community favorite for nearly two decades.
