8 inches of 100% tube steak smothered in mustard & wrapped in a bun is what I'm giving a " HELL YA " about. Imagine it's a late night and its announced last call from another evening of alcohol intake and debauchery. Since I didn't have a the accompaniment of female I decided a mystery tube of meat at HOT DOG JOE's was my last stop. A gentleman requested my order for which I shouted out and handed him some currency . He fans the flames & grilled my mystery meat tube and slopped some yellow mustard atop. He wrapped my dog in a paper wrap and handed it to me a few minutes later. With dog in hand I stood around on the streets of Seattle with a host of locals & Hipster Doofus's all chowing down the best meal at 2am you ever consume. Thanks Joe or whatever your name is I appreciate the meal. read more

See all

Unfortunately Joes has changed hands and the quality and service are gone . 15 years of Joes is coming to an end

I was leaving Amber with a number of friends... and bumped into some amazing Yelper friends at Hot Dog Joe's. And they told me to order a dog. OKAY! The woman handling the sales was extremely enthusiastic and I heard she was super friendly. The first option she named was a chicken dog. Sure! I'll try anything. (Well, not ANYTHING... but you know what I mean.) The dog took a little long, but it ended up being just the right amount of time considering when my bus arrived. The dog was delicious and the man cooking it apologized that it took as long as it did. He also somehow managed to compliment me on my looks twice without sound creepy (to a sober person - I'm not sure how many he gets of those at that stand). So anyway. The dog was $6 of deliciousness and the servers were friendly (and apparently smooth). Right on! 5 stars it is. read more

When you're drunk and in need of food in Belltown, this is spot. They have quite a selection of toppings for your hot dog or sausage, with cream cheese being the most popular and peculiar. It works surprisingly well and the grilled onions and pickled jalapenos round out my favorite toppings. We shared the "Big Boy" twice so i didn't get a chance to try the other sausages. Polish seemed to be popular though. The Big Boy is awesome, a whopping 3/4 pound dog that stretches longer than the bun. The hot dog is made with cheese and jalapenos and trust me, it has quite the kick. When they make it right, the Big Boy shoots hot scalding juices out into your.... wait, what am I talking bout? read more

Hot Dog Joes - Big Boy 3/4 lb Hot Dog - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Few things soak up the Patron in my stomach better then the hot dogs here. Not sure why, but when drunk and waiting for a cab, these might be the best food items in the world. If I had a choice between The French Laundry and Hot Dog Joes after killing an entire bottle of Patron or Hangar One, I'd take The French Laundry, I'm not an idiot! However, Hot Dog Joes is mighty tasty, and not to be missed whilst out and about in Belltown! read more

A night full of drinking, craving a hot dog with crème cheese and onions (don't knock it until you've tried it), no cash and it must have been way after hours since we closed the club down and I had already driven to Issaquah and back to Seattle.... What's a girl to do?? Drive through downtown Seattle, hope to find a cash machine and one of the stands outside a club still open. To my amazement, I stumbled upon Hot Dog Joes and the staff packing things up into a truck with what looked to be one stand still open. I pull up to the sidewalk and ask, where's the nearest cash machine??? The guy who came to my window paused for a second... tried to think of the nearest ATM and then finally gave and asked what I was after. Let him know that I was craving a hot dog. He asked what I wanted on it and I let him know crème cheese and onions. He asked "That's it??" & I said "YUP, that's it". Got a "Hold on" and a few minutes later... Ta-Dah ... I have a hot dog with crème cheese and onions with a "Have a good rest of your night and I hope you don't have to drive too far". What an amazing show of customer service!!! Sidewalk to SUV window service. Who can complain about that?? Add into that, it was one of the best tasting hot dogs with crème cheese and onions that I've had to date. Indebted to name not given in post (don't want to get him in trouble) and Hot Dog Joes. I owe you!! read more

TWO WORDS: CREAM CHEESE OMG. TO. DIE. FOR. If you're in Seattle, you better get some of this, because you won't find this in LA. read more

A night out in Belltown is incomplete without one of these babies in my tummy at the end of the night. I would actually go as far as to say that these hotdogs are the reason I go out in this city. The possibilities are endless: Hot link, polish, all-beef, veggie (all grilled to perfection)...topped with cream cheese, grilled onion, cheddar cheese, shoestring fries, siracha, sweet chili sauce. You name it...you can add it to your hotdog. It's pure bliss. read more

I ordered the Big Boy despite anyone tells you it's the Biggest hot dog in Seattle. I do not drink and was sober but after reading so much about this stand and it's only available during Fridays and Saturdays it was my chance. I got the Big Boy a 3/4 pound of spicy hot dog that had some heat. I got everything on it, Cabbage,grilled onions, cucumbers, cheese and sour cream and a bunch of other stuff. It tasted good but in my Sober State my gut told me to back off after eating a little more half of it,way to much different flavors all mixed up. The staff were friendly and they have some cool beats playing. There were people that were just hanging out. If I see the cart around again I would hit it up again and perhaps not go crazy on the Big Boy it was to much dog for me. read more

SEATTLE DOGS! How did I not know about this before!? Cream Cheese in hot dogs is genius! It's even better with grilled onions topped on it. The bun was toasted, the sausage link had juicy flavor. This thins was delicious! Awesome food to eat after a night of drinking at the club. I'm definitely going to be making these back home for my friends. Seattle Dogs you rock! read more

Hot Dog Joes - Seattle dog ! - Food Stands Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Holla! After a long night of Patronizing, I seek for the second most blissful thing in life. A Polish w/Cream Cheese, Grilled onion, saurkrat, relish, dijon mustard and Siracha. I also, like to take my girlfriend here :) read more

Soooo yummy...I used to think the Lucky dogs in New Orleans on Bourbon St. hit the spot!! But Hotdog Joes is WAY better!!! LOVE IT!! I think I might even wake up on Saturday nights if I go to bed early and go pick one up!! They are that good...or were they that good because I was drunk....hmmmmm read more

Many a times during the week I will crave a creamcheese hotdog, alias..I have to wait until Friday night around 10pm for them to set up shop. But so worth the wait....my weekend reward. :) A night out in Belltown is incomplete without a hot dog at 2 am on 1st & blanchard. There are other hot dog stands on other corners. But this one is THE corner to be at! Load it up with grilled onions and slap on the cream cheese. It hits the spot after a long night of dancing and/or drinking. You would think its a club entrance b/c the line is longer than most belltown hotspots around! Shoot, give me VIP status here and I'd be a happy girl. read more

Cream cheese dogs are supposedly where it is at, but to me, I'd much prefer Los Angeles' offering of bacon wrapped dogs! Plus when we at here the buns were cold as ice, come on, give me some hot buns! read more

I'm not really sure what kind of hot dog I had... Note to self: Don't drink 100 proof vodka ever again. Ever. Again. All I know is that Hot Dog Joes is so good that I woke up with bits and pieces of my late night snack in my hair the following morning. So good, you will want to sleep in it. Guaranteed. read more

Just saying... All of the hot dog (or is it technically polish sausages?) stands that I've been to taste pretty much the same. I give the stars for these based on convenience, service, and condiment selection. The wait for this stand was a little long, but it was right at 2, so no stars are being taken away for that unavoidable delay. I am a simpleton with my dogs: just ketchup and extra cream cheese. However, if you wanted more of a "flavorful" dog, there was lots to choose from. (I think my boyfriend piled on onions, extra cream cheese, jalapeños, relish, ketchup, rooster sauce, and mustard.) The guy manning the grill was alright... Kept his cart in order and kept the line moving... But he put onions on mine when I only asked for them on one of the dogs. Oh well. Just scrape them off! I'll be back the next time I want to pay homage to the drunk gods in Belltown. read more

1.) cream cheese. polish spicy hot dog. 2.) 12 of your girlfriends fighting over a sausage... i guess it's better than fighting over a MAN's sausage. this sausage tastes better anyway. bwahahaha read more

Great hot dogs, you have to try the Seattle style, its so good, or was i drunk?

this place gave me the worst stomach ache in my life! But it was sooooo worth it! Love this placeeeeeee :)

I could eat these things every day of my life. Lucky for my cute designer jeans, I don't! Nothing beats a hot dog slathered in cream cheese, grilled onions, and ketchup while waiting for a 2 am cab, after mass alcohol consumption and crazy dancing at Tia Lou's. Especially when it's cold outside and you're standing in a skirt, waiting for a slow-ass Seattle cab to show up. read more

The picture really demonstrates what you're walking into...um...up to if you decide to stop by Hot Dog Joe's. A diverse selection of sizeable hot dogs, sausages (thats what she said!) and toppings with a veggie hot dog option as well. The price is $4 which was $1.25 cheaper than in WaMu and definitely worth it. I thought the dog was quite savory but what I was really impressed with was the service. Not only was the gentleman very kind waiting on me, but I did not have enough cash on me (yes, I am that poor AND I rarely carry cash) and he told me to just pay him back next time I was there. He had never seen me before, nor am I a regular in the area, so it was such a nice gesture, not to mention a reprieve from some of the pompous service I have experienced since being here. When I walked back past his stand a few hours later I paid what I owed and left a generous tip. I won't five star it because its just hot dogs but Hot Dog Joes deserves your business! read more

I'm coming to this place every weekend!!!!! And the only thing I order is " BIG BOY hot dog w/ Everything on it". It's TWICE as big as 7 Eleven's Spicy Bite hot dog. It's Huge, Spicy, Juicy, and Sizzling Hot off the grill!!! Best after a long night of drinking and tipsy! read more

Nothing like a hot dog after a night of drinking! Thank goodness for Hotdog Joes! Ymmmm....the cream cheese just adds the perfect touch! If you're in Belltown, you definitely have to try one! read more

Joe has been serving up the best dogs in town for ten years. My dog of choice is a Polish sausage with cream cheese, sweet chili sauce, and sweet hot mustard. Hebrew National products are used, which insures a dog of high quality. read more

They put cream cheese on your hot dogs?? Craziness. But it was actually pretty good and a good way to end a sweaty night at Tia Lou's is definitely to get a all beef dog with cream cheese and sauteed onions, cover it too much ketchup, and sit like the classy person I am in the parking lot and eat it. But after a long night of dancing to semi-awful music, any fatty food will easily become my best friend. My biggest complaint are the super drunk people that push their way in front of you and start talking and swaying all over with you with their stanky drunk breath. read more

Bacon wrapped hotdog, covered in onions and tons of condiments. Walked from our hotel and the food was goood

I've missed you at Mariner games, Hot Dog Joes. You've been replaced by some imitator...who doesn't provide cucumbers or tomatoes as toppings. It's a damn shame. Please come back. read more

Great Seattle Dogs. Try'em and you will be barking for more.

Seattle dogs are delicious! Especially when you've been drinking and partying late! I love the fact that they grille the buns it give it that extra crunch! And the sausage is cleverly cut down the middle to stick that slab of cream cheese, onions, and whatever else you want to add on your hot dog! I would definitely come back for these! read more

RAY IS SO AWESOME! After a night out in Belltown for my friend's birthday, we decided to get some hot dogs and Ray hooked us up! Becky and Grace love Ray! and also the guy who makes hot dogs (his girlfriend likes a spicy dog with jalapenos... you know who you are) is awesome. ;) On top of the perfect post-night-out-snack, you get great customer service. Aside from the annoyingly long line, this place is what you need. *I heard the spicy dog is better than the original, I know what I'm trying this weekend :] read more

After a fun night out in Belltown, this is a frequent last stop. Seattle is all about the drunk-food hot dogs. Loaded up with cream cheese and grilled onions. You gotta give it a try. read more
