Sooooooooo love TOP DOG!!! Whenever I touch down in the Bay I gotta have my hot link with grilled and raw onions, mustard and a little relish. The bread is outta this world and makes the dog complete.
The guy on the grill Jacob I think his name was top dog was perfect bun was nice and toasty and I'm definitely coming back
If you need a hot dog, this is the place! Choices & prices are still pretty good too!!
Visiting our daughter and family, I pass by here everyday while taking my daily walk. Finally decided to stop in and grab a hotdog. I had the garlic dog. Maybe the best hotdog I've ever had. Snappy skin, great taste, and a unique crusty bun. Gonna have to change my walk time to earlier in the morning when they're not open, or I'll be tempted to stop every day!
Where can you go to experience an economical and convenient meal that won't break the bank? They've been around for decades in the Berkeley storefront not as long here in Oakland. Top Dog is the place. If you're having or attending a BBQ buy some cold dogs and buns here for a real reasonable price to go! The service has always been good. It helps to be a real people person to work here. It's a quaint shop here. They also have t-shirts and caps for sale. Gotta love them. If you travel don't be surprised if someone recognizes your garb and casually walks up to you to express their appreciation.
My son and I stopped in to get a dog and for me to reminisce about old times to him. The worker behind the counter, Martin, was a friendly soul. Very friendly and provided outstanding service. My son got the regular Top Dog Frankfurter and I had the bratwurst. Both were great. I think my first time in a Top Dog was probably 45 years ago in Berkeley. Martin says Top Dog is still owned by the original husband and wife owners. Food is still great and with great employees like Martin, we will continue to come back!
This place has the top-notch hotdogs, I come here all the time, and this is the rare place where you can get a nice lunch for under 10 bucks.. They also have a bunch of good sausages, but they call it top dog for a reason - so I recommend getting top dogs.+1 also for the good variety of mustard and a nice big tureen of sauerkraut. Just the way I like it.
This place is so gourmet I have to give it my Yelp Elite 5-Star gold seal of approval that I reserve usually only for Michelin starred and James Beard award winning restaurants that I enjoy. Seriously Top Dog is that local weinery that everyone has in their part of the country and I have been going since my high school days. It is one of the only places that I go to just because I am within a one mile radius. At roughly $4 for a Top Dog you get a long dog on a sesame bun and you are once again transformed back to the days of tie-dye, peace and love. Oh I also recommend the Bird Dog, the Hot Link, the Bratwurst, Lemon Chicken, etc. and don't forget their spicy Russian mustard
