Featuring: The Reuben Dog: Processed Swiss Cheese, warm caraway sauerkraut and chopped Montreal Smoked meat.
This funky eatery has fast become known for its assortment of craft sausages. With menu options like the Peruvian—a Latin-inspired sausage with red wine and cumin—and a chicken sausage made with Thai green curry and coconut milk, these sausages go way beyond ketchup and mustard.
Featuring: Beef-Bison with apricot, cranberry and pepitas
It’s no surprise that this trendy smokehouse would have great sausages. In addition to their extensive menu of, well, meat, they offer a full or half-ring of artisan Andouille sausage, crafted by Meuwly’s. With a lineup of sides and original barbeque sauces, your dog is in good company.
Hidden in a small strip mall near Castledowns in this gem. Hot dogs, corn dogs and a chili cheese dog adorn their menu. Those who live nearby are blessed, those who do not, it’s worth the drive.
