Finally stopped by after driving by many times. The name, logo, and how cute the restaurant looked outside hooked me. There is limited, free parking spots in their lot, which they also share with another restaurant, so be mindful of that. Not sure how street parking is like; it is on a busy street. I arrived before a rush of people, which was around 2:30 pm on a weekday. The inside is a little unassuming but has character and charm. I enjoyed seeing the dog theme decor on the walls. The man working there was welcoming and very friendly! Service was wonderful. There are plenty of hot dogs to choose from, and there are plenty of options for hot and cold toppings. Went with the pittie dogs, fries, and chocolate cheesecake brownie. A good, simple hot dog! Fries were crispy and warm. Brownie was pretty good and sweet. I look forward to trying the other items on the menu like the bratwurst. Another cool thing I noticed is for their rewards system instead of it saying points on the receipt, it says "spots"! How creative and fun is that! I love how they kept the dog theme even for things people often overlook. Definitely a fun, little spot for affordable hot dogs! Try it out for yourselves! read more

We've driven past here so many times, after the beach I was feeling a hot dog and a burger. I got the pittie burger and hot dog with grilled onions. You can choose hot and cold toppings btw. The staff were very nice, and get you what you need without being overly attentive. I think outdoor seating would add nicely to this place. read more

There is limited parking so it took us a minute to get situated. Once inside we found a table that fit our group. We walked up and ordered at the counter. Didn't take too long. Our hotdogs were good but we did go with the basics. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is actually because of the milkshake. My friend will drive all the way to OV to get a blizzard. After trying this locations milkshake (MnM), she said she has a new favorite and is excited about how much closer it is to her than OV. read more

Ordered the Chicago Dog combo. Nicely dressed with all the fixings for a Chicago dog - peppers, tomato. The dog is a bit salty. According to the owners they use Sabrette dogs which are saltier than other dogs. French fries were right out of the fryer - hot light & tasty. Came with a side of warm sauerkraut- vinegarry and satisfying If you like your salty dogs this restaurant is for you read more

Pittie Dog Grill - All this for 22 dollars it was absolutely GASS!!!! Will bring my wife next time and kids - Hot Dogs Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I have been wanting to try this place since they opened ! I love the idea of supporting a breed that I adore and the fact donations go to shelters. I am a huge fan of hot dogs. My boyfriend and I were in Norfolk for another reason and decided to stop and try it since they were open. This place DID NOT disappoint. The servings are generous. Bathrooms are clean with cute decor. Tables and booths to sit. Parking it a bit limited but can be found if you drive down the block. I got pittie meal with side winder fries ( omg , they were cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the pittie flight and he said it was a perfect way to try the different options. The loaded tots were shared, I loved them too :) I wasn't a fan of the sauerkraut, but I'm from Pennsylvania so we cook it a bit differently. The amount of toppings is incredible, I wish I had more time to choose , I'm indecisive a lot. You also can't beat the price for the quality and they do offer a military discount. The only reason I do not give a 5 star is because I wish the space was bigger! There is so much potential and clearly they have the clientele, so I look forward to seeing how they venture in the future. We will definitely return. Also we ordered two brats to go home :) Did I mention, we LOVE pitbulls so this place was refreshing to see them in a positive light. Next time I will purchase a t-shirt :) read more

I'm new to Pitt. I tend to go in guarded when a restaurant says they have vegan options because that usually means they have lettuce, pickles and onions. This spot was the exception. A plant based FIELD ROAST hot dog--it was EVERYTHING I could have imagined and more!! Flavorful with the required "hot dog snap" and...and you get to select your own toppings! Oh my my my! I have found my HAPPY PLACE! read more

Pittie Dog Grill - First time here! I'm excited for the best VEGAN hot dog ever! Yep, you read that right--they have a plant based dog! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

I came across this spot on Yelp a year ago after they opened. Reviews online were highly positive and they most recently were highlighted on Channel 13 for their Friday Flavor segment. So you know we had to go check them out. After walking in, Sophia and I got right in line to order. They actually had a nice crowd for lunch, even some families. And the decor....wonderful. One of the best I've seen in a while. You can tell they put their heart and soul into making this truly welcoming. Imagine if Arsenio Hall and Randy Jackson walked inside. Both would blush like crazy and call for the Dog Pound to scream. Oh yeah....the food. I ordered the pittie dog combo meal with sauteed onions, sauerkraut, banana peppers and yellow mustard for toppings and sidewinder fries and sauerkraut for sides and a cheesecake brownie for dessert. Very delicious indeed. From the first bite to the last, everything on the plate tasted fantastic. The sidewinder fries....probably some of the best fries I've ever had. And when Sophia smiled at me saying she wants to come back, you know we've found a hidden gem. There you have ladies and gentlemen, a great visit to a wonderful spot. This will definitely be a repeat for us. Till next time :) read more

Loved the name, 'Pittie Dog Grill' and the fact that they were a hot dog joint, so I knew I had to check them out when I was in town! The menu is pretty extensive and can be overwhelming, but the staff are welcoming and friendly! Ask any questions - they are more than happy to assist and create the perfect 'dog' for you! We ordered: +a Pittie Dog, Chicago style - I was surprised that they had the neon relish and the sports peppers; the bun had 'charred' marks, but it was a little dry/stale; the dog itself was super salty, but it did have a good snap; toppings were generous Note that they use Sabrett dogs. We had also ordered the Sidewinder/Petal Combo, with chili and cheese topped on the sidewinders, but their fryer was out T___T Ample seating inside with great decor. I loved the TV showing videos of pitties! Parking available in their lot. +friendly service +parking in lot read more

Pittie Dog Grill - Mini dog flight! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Someone at my dentist office recommended I try this place. So I stopped by for lunch. When I entered the owner was busy taking orders. He greeted me and I waited my turn. You order your food, choose your hot toppings, then they call your name to come up to choose the rest of your toppings. It's kinda a subway style setup. Weds are $5 foot long specials from 11-7pm. The menu says they have over 49 toppings. Most of the toppings are free, which I think is fantastic. They sell hot dogs, burgers, fries, shakes, and etc. The food is pretty reasonably priced. $10 for lunch is a wonderful deal. I ordered a foot long hot dog, sidewinder fries, coleslaw, and a bottle of water. The fries were delicious, I got to my car and noticed I only had 6 fries. So I went back inside to order more. The owner said they come in 6 oz or 8 oz. I guess that's fair but I was a little disappointed because the reviews show a good sized portion in the pics. I ordered a second side and again was given 6 fries, lol. They were $4.50 for a small. I will say they were very tasty. Kinda like a potato wedge texture. I highly recommend trying them. My hotdog had pico, corn salsa, chili, cheese, pickles, fried onions, green onions, and coleslaw. It was delicious!!! I'm a real fan of the fun topping options!!! The coleslaw was a little bland but it went well together. I also tried the Snickers cookies which were $2. They were soft and pretty tasty!! I enjoyed my meal. The lady who made my food was super nice. She chatted with me for a moment and I was on my way. The restaurant has seating inside. Lunch time seems to have a good flow of people. They have a hot dog flight I'd like to try next time. The shake machine was out of order today, but I'll be back for the key lime shake!! If your in the area it's worth stopping by!! Check them out!! read more

Bright colors and clean. Super friendly team working there. What blew our minds more than just how delicious was the presentation. Not slipper to gather but my Chicago dog's toppings were thoughtfully laid out. Huge thumbs up. The Chicago dog was amazing with the proper neon relish. The Norfolk dog was stellar with the right amount of chili, onion and mustard. The onion petals are delish too. Now to try their shakes! I am totally sold as this is the best dog spot in the 757. Will be back read more

I had the suggested, foot-long combo meal. It comes with 2 sides, which are DELICIOUS. I chose the sweet potato fries and slaw. The customer service was amazing. Having never been here, the order taker was patient and answered all of my questions. What I like the most was that was no attempt to upsell. Her description of the food was enough for me to say, yes to everything she suggested. I ended.my meal with a custard shake. I'll follow up later about that. The ambience was nice, and relaxing. The music was just loud enough to enjoy! The wall art...amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to friends Follow-up: the shake was also spot on! It was well blended and although i was handed a spoon, I had no difficulty using the straw. There was a little surprise; chocolate chips on the bottom! read more

Pittie Dog Grill - Hot Dogs Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

The Pittie Dog Grill held their Grand Opening early last month in November at their location in the Riverview Village section of Norfolk's Granby Street, intersecting 42nd Street with a small parking lot available. It took over a spot that was previously occupied by a number of restaurants, including a location of Capt'n Crabby that closed in 2022, and before that, a Subway. Riverview Village includes a family of close knit businesses that lend mutual support to each other, and the Pittie Dog Grill is the latest one to join the family. Hot dogs are the name of the game at Pittie Dog Grill, which has also dedicated its business to the support of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Their interior decor is highlighted by an abundance of creative pit bull art. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of their merchandise, which includes their Pittie Dog T-Shirts and NuLand's Hot Sauce, is donated to local animal rescue centers. They also sell house made pup treats in pumpkin and peanut butter flavors. If you buy one, they also donate one to a dog at a local shelter. All proceeds go to Norfolk Animal Care and the Norfolk SPCA. In addition to hot dogs, they serve burgers, custard shakes, jumbo sized cookies from the Wigglebutt Cookie Company, and a number of sides that includes jumbo dill pickles, fries, onion petals, and others. Happy Puppy Hour is held daily from 2 pm to 5 pm, during which you can get 2 Puppy Pittie dogs, a small order of fries, and a drink for $9.99, including tax. Their hot dogs are charbroiled Sabrett Beef Hot Dogs. They offer a regular sized Pittie Dog, a larger sized quarter pound Pittie Dog, and a foot long Pittie Dog, all with a natural casing. Their smaller Puppy Pittie Dog is skinless. After three lunch time visits, I have tried the following: CHICAGO DOGS: Poppy Seed Bun with Yellow Mustard, Sweet Neon Relish, Tomatoes, Diced Onions, Pickle Spear, Sport Peppers, and Celery Salt. I ordered two of these in their regular Pittie Dog size. I have never tried an actual Chicago Dog from Chicago, but these were the best versions of the Chicago Dog I have ever tried in this area. The Sabrett dogs delivered a nice snap and flavor. The flavors of all of the other ingredients came together beautifully, and I especially loved the sweet neon relish, sport peppers, and celery salt. My Rating: 5 Stars. BLOODY MARY DOGS: These are not on their regular menu, but were featured as a special addition on a recent Sunday. They were described as follows on their Facebook page: "Any Pittie Dog with Diced Tomatoes, Pico, Pepper Relish, a Pickle Spear, and our Homemade Bloody Mary Sauce from the NuLand Hot Sauce Company, Mr. Picklesworth's Dill Pickle Hot Sauce, and other secret ingredients." The combination of ingredients intrigued me, and I was able to get them to make me a couple during a weekday visit. The Bloody Mary flavor came through nicely and was further enhanced by all the other ingredients. I ordered them in the Puppy Pittie size by mistake, which come skinless without the "snap" of the others. I will order them again during a future visit in their regular Pittie Dog size. Their flavors came together beautifully for an exhilarating taste experience. My Rating: 5 Stars. NORFOLK DOGS: These are described on their menu as "Mustard and Onions on the bottom and Hot Dog Chili on the top." I ordered two of them. The Norfolk Dog was first invented by George Bacali, a Greek immigrant who began to serve his hot dogs in 1934 at Bacali's Hot Dogs on City Hall Avenue in downtown Norfolk. Mustard, onion, and hot dog chili are the only ingredients. The Norfolk Dog later made its way to Tony's Hot Dogs on Lafayette Boulevard in Norfolk, led by Tony Mirable and his wife. His three sons later carried on the tradition with hot dog spots on their own with their family recipe. These Norfolk Dogs were made with the Hormel brand "snap dogs", which were discontinued in January of 2019. The Sabrett version does not give me quite the snap as the original Hormel version, but they are snappy enough. The charbroiled taste of the Sabrett dogs and the flavors of the mustard and hot dog chili came through nicely. If I can make one suggestion, it would be to show at least a little bit of the mustard and onions on top for greater eye appeal. I have an old photo of two Norfolk Dogs from Tony's Hot Dogs that show a drizzle of mustard on top with specks of onions on the buns. My Rating: 4.5 Stars. CHOCOLATE CUSTARD SHAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM: This was my dessert treat during one of my visits, and this one blew me away with an explosion of flavor and texture. I loved the creamy custard texture and the swirls of chocolate inside, topped off by the light and airy whipped cream. My Rating: 5 Stars. This review comes with a well-deserved 5-star rating. The Pittie Dog Grill has brought my long lost love affair with the All-American hot dog back to life, and I am looking forward to my future visits. read more

Pittie Dog Grill is everything I wanted it to be. The hotdogs were amazing, with so many toppings. I always wanted to try a Chicago dog, but was scared I wouldn't like it. Pittie Dog offers a "Pittie Flight" with the cutest little hotdogs and I was finally able to try a Chicago dog and was not disappointed. My boyfriend and I got chili and cheese dogs with onions. It was Wednesday so the footings are $5! Everything was amazing, the staff were so kind and patient with everyone coming in for the first time. Service was top notch and they were slammed. I love to see it. PLUS they love Pittbulls what more could you want ?! There are dog pictures everywhere and it's such a cute spot. If you were thinking about it....GO. read more

Guys, I would love to call myself a hot dog/ Sausage professional, but these guys really define the meaning of outstanding. I mean they really know what they are doing I have been there three times in a WEEK. I have tried other places, around the country, since I travel for work, and NOTHING has compared to the quality of the food itself, and the customer service they provide. I hope this place stays awhile, it is now my go-to spot and I have shown all of my friends... been looking for a place just like it. read more

Came here with the kiddos after the Norfolk zoo. I missed the entrance the first go around so make sure you go really slow as it's right at the intersection of the lights. Parking is available to the side and back of the store. Let's start off by saying the hot dogs were tasty and they have lots and lots options. I will admit being my first time I was a little confused. When you first order you pick either hot or cold toppings, but when the dog is ready you go up to the counter and they will build your dog even further if you want with additional toppings. Very similar Subways/Chipotle. I was a bit taken back by the neon green of the Chicago dog's relish. It tasted fine and brought a surprising pop of color. We got the meal so it came with a drink- we upgraded to the milkshakes- and fries. My kids were hoping for some real pitties to be in the shop, but I'm sure health regulations would frown on that. Maybe soon they can have adoptable dog photos instead. read more

An old fashioned taste of home. Every summer, we would pile in the station wagon and travel from Norfolk, VA to my grandparent's house in Buffalo, NY. All of the obligatory jaunts we took (Niagara Falls, Grand Island, Beef on Weck, Frozen Custard) my favorite was Ted's Hot Dogs down on Delaware Ave. A chargrilled hotdog, spial sliced, with Ted's "meat sauce" that we always called chili. I found Pittie Dog and my prayers have been answered. I can get a damn fine Buffalo style hot dog and pretty good custard. The owner even told me of a place close by where I can fulfill my Beef on Weck cravings. If you're craving a great dog and want to help local animals, come be Pittie's. read more

When they started offering Sahlen's hot dogs, I was there! (Sahlen's are a Western NY favorite.) Great people. Great service. Great food. I was in the mood for my childhood basic hotdog (ketchup only) so I could really taste the hotdog. It was great, really good bun, amazing coleslaw, delicious side-winder fries. A very good price too. Love that they support local animal shelters. Keep it up Karl and Larry (pretty sure I got the names right). Also the fantastic young person making my dog. read more

I'm from Northeast NJ and I was raised up on Sabreats hot dogs. The hotdog stands would boil them in dry white wine and they would taste garlicky. In my opinion what I had yesterday wasnt Sabreat. Unless the manufacturer has changed the recipe? The dogs were dry and without flavor. I didnt like the chili or the spicy mustard they used. The buns are too big for the hot dog. They put them over the fire to grill them and they are dry. The french fries are different. Very tasty and i believe its of high quality. I threw the hotdogs away., Service was pleasant and the owners are nice guys. No bad vibes at all. The restaurant is tidy and clean. People friendly place. It would be great if they would make some changes? Maybe switch to Boarshead hot dogs? Steam their rolls and use Martins Potato Rolls? read more

Great hot dogs! I've been waiting for a hot dog place by me to open. The staff was friendly and showed care, the menu was great, and the topping bar was an unexpected treat! I'll surely be back. read more

Dogs char grilled! The service was a little slow at the counter ordering but it could have been due to the internet going down as we were arriving. Ordered the Pittie Dog which is the one with the casing. So it has a little snap. Dogs put on a charcoal grill to cook. The bun was warmed on the grill as well. Your name is called and you can add various toppings to your dog once it's done cooking. I think there are 3 options for relish, dill, sweet and neon green (Chicago style). Food came out quick. The fries are sidewinder style so not my favorite which is the only reason I rate 4 stars. Personal preference and will not stop me from coming back for another dog. Cute pictures of doggos on the walls and some items donate a portion of money to local animal rescue. read more

First time, the man behind the counter explained what every type of dog was. I ended up getting the Flight of Pitties (Chicago, Norfolk, & Coastal NC) and my husband got to Spicy 1/4 dog with peppers & onions, sweet relish & Dijon mustard. I got the meal with onion petals, pickle and can of soda. Everything was delicious, I'd say the bun to dog ratio of the Pittie Flight was a little too much bun, but it's a great way to try 3 classic dogs. read more
