No shaming, but hot dogs have been my favorite food since I was a kid so when in Milwaukee, I…read morewanted to try hot dogs the local way. I found the perfect place in 3rd Street Market Hall, just a block and a half from my conference hotel. I loved the food hall and had two lunches and one dinner there during my stay. There is plenty of seating. The people at Dawg City were incredibly nice and made me feel like family. Service was excellent. I opted for their Classic, which was a beautiful, meaty beef dog topped with mustard, ketchup, relish, and finely diced onions. It was outstanding! Every bite had the topping mixture. Yum! The fries deserve their own paragraph-crispy with a delicious seasoning blend, which I dunked in ketchup. Pure heaven! It takes a lot to impress me-i've eaten a lot of hotdog and fries in my time-but Dawg City would have to be one of my top best, for both the food and the experience!

I decided to try the Santa Fe, and it was topped with a squeeze of smooth guacamole, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese. Maybe the toppings cooled the hot dog down a bit...I would have preferred it to be warmer, but it was good. Mr. R ordered a chili cheese dog, and he kept talking about how good the chili was. He talked to someone at the stand and found out its homemade. I tried a bite, and I agree it's quite good, with a nice cumin flavor. Next time I would take a pass on the Santa Fe and go straight for the chili dog!

Got greeted by a nice young woman. I ordered the root beer float, and he got the Black Cow. They use Cedar Crest Ice Cream, which I think is high quality. The float came in a glass mug and looked amazing -- and it tasted excellent. To me, the Black Cow looked a bit watery (overmixed), but he enjoyed it. It was rainy, and we got the only picnic table that was covered. There were plenty of other picnic tables on the grassy areas across the parking lot. Don't know much about the food, but would definitely come back for the root beer float.

I had an appointment in Waukesha today and spotted John's Drive-In on my way there, and decided to…read morestop for a quick lunch on my way back. It was great to see it was a hot dog place instead of a burger joint; I ordered a hot dog with ketchup and relish and a side of onion rings, but no beverage as I had one in the car. Anyway, the hot dog was ok, but the meat itself was kind of soft and spongy, not to my liking. The onion rings, described to me by the order taker as fantastic, were, in reality, disgusting. They tasted like old, rancid oil and consisted mostly of a thick batter with the thinnest actual onion slice. I ate two small rings and tossed the rest. Just gross. I really wish I could have had an excellent dog and rings, because when I indulge in a fast food meal, that's what I love, and few places offer hot dogs anymore.

This might be the food cart with the most aura I've ever seen…read more Rick and James have been operating on this street corner by the Chase Building since 1999 and provide not just excellent service, but also an astonishing variety of meats. I was just expecting the regular hot dogs ($4) and Polishes ($7.75), but then they show me around to the VIP section of the cart where they had Hungarian sausages, Cajun sausages, Linguisas (a Portuguese sausage I'd never even heard of that apparently goes back to Roman times), and many others. They also provide drinks and chips, and even as I was standing there they had a small crowd of return customers and loyal patrons. I decided on the Linguisa with some brown mustard, ketchup, and onions, wrapped up to go. $7.75--a little more expensive than other hot dog vendors in the city, but when I got back to the office I wish I had ordered 2. Good lord it was good.

This very cute place is walk-up only with a dozen or so outside tables. They have a number of sandwiches and sausages to choose from but to be honest I really did not study the menu. I was here for a Chicago dog. I ordered my dog at one window and at the next they build the order by quizzing you on what you all want on it... seemed unnecessary when you order a Chicago dog. Anyway the hot dog was very good and was relatively inexpensive (given the prices these days). The patio was very pleasant especially on this mild August day. I will stop again.

On the day I came in, the friendly (I assume ) owner told me about a special - I scored a Polish *and* and Italian Beef for some ridiculously low price (under $15 IIRC). The house-made giardiniera is great. P.S. I am going to make an exception to my policy and comment on another review (two stars): "Beef is weak barely put any beef on it compared to others. And the miced giardenera not a fan of. Do better Martinos." I guess my first thought was, "What is this correlation between poor grammar and ridiculous reviews?" It's definitely a thing.
