👍 Hot dog by the bay. It's a decent hotdog served on a nice bun, kinda like a Kiaser roll. There is a side fixings bar with onions and relish that you can add to your hotdogs if you don't get one of the specialty dogs that are offered. Great views of the waterfront. People often mention Seattle, dogs, good, service, great, lemonade,

    Tried the Seattle Dog, it was really good which I didn’t expect! Super tasty combo of flavors. Prices might be a bit high at this spot but it’s right on the water in what’s very clearly a tourist spot.

    Quite impressed with this hut! I’ve passed by it so many times and thought it was just for tourists, but I’m so glad we decided to try it. Customer service was wonderful, and the most important part, the hot dog was sooooo yummy! We got the Kosher Dog Seattle Style. Nice snap, great flavor. Would 100% go back.

    This little hot dog stand is almost like a tourist attraction in and of itself! Located right adjacent to the Great Wheel in the heart of the waterfront area, the Frankfurter offers delicious hot dogs and more. Prices are about what you would expect at a ball park - maybe a tad less - but the combined atmosphere, location, scenery, and availability of this stand all play into part of a larger experience. Highly recommended!

    Genuinely great hotdogs made by nice people! Get any hot dog or sausage, they're all good! Also, nice and cheap, compared to some stops on the waterfront.

    OMG, the Seattle Style Dog is where it’s at! We were visiting Seattle and heard that no matter what, you gotta try it Seattle Style. I was not disappointed, this was a total win for me! Fast & fresh food as well as friendly service!

    I'd love to see longer hours at the hut. I've never been able to go because it closes at 6pm! I feel like they're missing out on the evening tourists, dinnertime locals, and after-work ferry commuters!

    I just had a chicken hot dog with sauerkraut. The bread is sooo good and the meat too. Define coming back.

    A local must-try! Bursting with flavor, juicy and tender, and topped just the way you like it.

    Quick service, except the lemonade does take a little bit to make, so I’d recommend they wait until after they squeeze it before giving you your hot dog so it doesn’t get cold. I got the kids dog. It was ok. Cheap quick meal if you’re not in the mood for an expensive sit down option.

    Great dogs. Wanted a Seattle dog and got exactly that. Let me tell you cream cheese on a glizzy.. life changing. Also my man’s at the counter, super cool. We had been traveling through rainy weather and almost gave up on seeing the mountains if it wasn’t for him giving us hope to check out Mt Rainer. Told us we should check it out and went the next day and got the most beautiful views. Anyways, 10/10 dogs and 10/10 dude. Thanks for giving us hope.

    The kielbasa sausage was good but was served in a plain bun and nothing else. Limited condiments too. Much prefer the Seattle dog at Dog in the Park.

    Customer service was great. Asked about me and my spouses day. Where we lived and how we felt about the nice cool and dry weather. He gave his honest opinion on which hotdog is popular and pricing is fair. Will come again when I visit the pier

    The smell of the hot dogs and the fact that they make their Lemonade from scratch right in front you was incredible! The hot dog was Really good the hot dog buns were also freshly made I could tell. The guy who was there was super friendly great customer service! Would recommend any one to buy a hot dog and freshly made lemonade! YUM 😋

    I bought a Seattle style dog. To be honest it was more expensive than I expected, around 8$ and it was cold. I guess that they have prepared everything in advance and they barely warm it. But the flavor was great.

    Our first trip with my boyfriend we saw this hotdogs place and wanted to try it out. I am so glad we did, I have tried many before but nothing like this, I love every bite it's a lot tasty compared to others around. We tried the seattle original that has cream cheese in it. If we ever come back for another trip to seattle this will be the first place to get a snack! Oh and yeah if anyone likes lemonade he does a good job making it my boyfriend approves!

    First off the photo of their shop is when they were closed, it was on one of my night walks and decided to make sure to remember this place. The other two photos were during their operating hours with consent from the nice lady that was working their. I believe I got the Italian hot and the kilbosa options, they sadly don't come with fries or anything and some of the toppings are extra. The other sad thing to learn was that they are not serving the pasta salad for the time being so I got the potatoe salad instead. Finally the review! They were both well cooked and delicious but for the price without a side dish is a little steep. As far as the potato salad it didn't blow my taste palettes away but the fiancé and I definitely ate it all. Overall next time your walking down near Pike place give it a shot and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

    One of the best hotdogs I've had in a long time. A fab selection of dogs to choose from. Only coke products and fresh lemonade. PRO TIP: If you like spicy, the Italian hot is excellent. Try it with the hot mustard.

    Amazing!!!! My wife and I were walking along the Seattle waterfront and stumbled upon a quiet hot dog stand. I noticed the chalkboard that said "Seattle-style" dog which caught my attention. I've had great dogs at The Last Stand in Philly and Die Wienerschnitzel chain in California, but this was the BEST DOG EVER. The bun was like brioche style and the dog outweighed the bun. It was perfectly cooked and had a ton of flavor. add onion and sweet peppers with cream cheese, YES CREAM CHEESE and you have a gourmet feast for your mouth. we ordered a fresh lemonade and hot cider and walked away under $15. if you like hot dogs you must give this a try when visiting Seattle!

    Super excellent hot dogs! 🌭 The fella at the counter was super friendly and ordering was a breeze. Got the spicy Italian hot dog plus the "Seattle" add-on (cream cheese, grilled onions and peppers), plus plenty of relish, Ketchup and spicy mustard. So freaking good, and smashing it on the pier in the sunshine overlooking the gorgeous waterfront was divine. Absolutely would return and try their fresh lemonade too 🍋

    So so good! I visited recently and tried Seattle style and am obsessed. I want all of my dogs that way. Great service and price. Super convenient lunch for foot travel in the area. Would definitely visit again

    Finest dog I've had in years! Highest quality sausages, toasted bun and FREE warm sauerkraut, in addition to regular toppings.
