Vishruth RaoTop Dog, with spots in Berkeley, Piedmont, and Oakland, is hands down one of the best hot dog joints around. It’s super local, affordable, and fast. They offer unique options like lime chicken or mango jalapeño, and even the fountain drinks are special, made with cane sugar. I’ve been to both the Berkeley and Piedmont locations, and the vibe is always great, with lines out the door even at 1 AM. I can’t get enough!
玲蔡I've been here 7 years ago it's as good as I remembered. I had the polish one and the German one this time. Love the polish one a lot more. The bread was amazing not like any hotdog bun I ever had. The store is small but packed with interesting details. There were three different types of mustard and tasty toppings. This place is a must go.
Adrian SaenzLove top dog, always have. Felt the need to leave a review. There’s a tall younger dude with glasses who I now know to avoid or stop in if he’s working. He just gave me a totally crispy, flaky, burnt bun and filled my cup with 85% ice and I feel like it was on purpose. Oh well, it is it what it is.
TurnipboysTiny little hot dog place that is a true staple of Berkeley. I am rarely here sober and I love it every time. The chicken apple sausage is so rich and flavorful - always cooked to crispy perfection. Served on a crunchy exterior, soft interior baguette. Very cool interior, been around since the 60s. Fun place to drop by. Always a line but never a crazy wait, always worth it!!
