On a recent trip to Scottsdale, I stopped by Simon's Hot Dogs for a late lunch on a weekday after hiking Camelback Mountain. Safe to say, I was exhausted and hungry so I pulled into the small shopping center and entered this small restaurant that specializes in Colombian hot dogs. I heard about the restaurant as it was listed as one of the top hot dog joints in the nation . . . high praise! You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. And while the menu is mostly hot dogs, they have a bunch of sides and some other options too. I went with a Colombian hot dog, sweet plantains with mozzarella on top, and a Colombian soft drink. While the restaurant is small, it's comfortable and they have free Wi-Fi. It's a casual spot perfect for a quick meal. And now to the important stuff: the dog. It was completely delicious. From the bun to the hot dog itself to the unique blend of sauces, melted cheese, and crisp potato sticks. The potato sticks gave it the crunch. The sauces gave it a delicious sweetness. And ht meat itself was quality. I can see why they were part of a list of the best hot dogs in the country. Well worth a visit! read more

With a variety of decked out hotdogs to choose from, I tried the Hola Amigo with beef hotdog Simon's sauce, cream cheese, avocado, and jalapenos. I split this my sister and it was pretty tastey. I loved that the hotdogs are grilled. Gives the hotdog a crispy outside. Can't wait to go back to try the Wunderhund. read more

The food and service here are unbeatable! My husband and I were sad to hear that this place was closing down, but excited to hear that they will be continuing as a food truck, so we will definitely be on the lookout to see where they will be posting up at so we can get some more of their amazing food! read more

Small restaurant with seating for about 10-12 people. Parking is in back of the restaurant. The food here is very good. The reason for 4 stars is just because the sandwiches and hot dogs are little small. High school age kids would probably need to order two things. They have plenty of drink options (see photos). They have interesting combinations for their dogs and good sauces. If you do not mind the slightly small size this place is 5 stars. They also have vegan, vegetarian options for their dogs, sandwiches, and donuts. People are very friendly. read more

Simon's Hot Dog is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique and flavorsome twist on a beloved classic. The one with pineapple and crushed chips is my go-to! I haven't been in a while so I was excited to see that they also offer a small selection of Local Donuts which I've been meaning to try for a long time! They had a buy two get one free sale for those donuts. Whether you're a local or a curious traveler, don't miss the opportunity to indulge in these authentic Colombian hot dog delights. Your taste buds will thank you for the unforgettable experience. read more

Oh yeah! Delicious!! Back again and it's amazing as always. Hospitality is welcome here. Delicious beef / vegan / pork options with a soft bun that wraps and envelops like an affectionate long lost hug. I miss and adore this place dearly! And after finally returning back, it's as charming and eloquent as ever. The fries are delicious! I recommend the Tokyo Madness (it's creative and unique) and the Cowboy, Hawaiian, etc. everything is great :) Empanadas are a must try as well. Best Colombian hot dogs in the State! Edit: He took care of our Puppy, Choco! Giving us water and a bowl. Thanks. Thank you Mr. Simon! read more

My expectations of a "hot dog place" include it not being fancy, the dogs being tasty, the buns being fresh ... and everything served hot and fresh. This place lives up to my expectations. You can get beer here if that's your thing, too. I ordered the Paisita dog with fries and a drink and my wife and son placed their orders (dogs, fries, cheese and chili in various combinations). The lady at the counter was very nice and said she'd bring our orders to the table. To be fair, I like cole slaw and onions... and lots of other things, too. My big beef hot dog came in a fresh bun with just the right amount of toppings (some places go way overboard and others it is hard to tell the difference between a chili dog and a cheese dog). My dog had a bit of crunch and sour from the slaw and a different crunch from the crushed chips. I didn't really taste the pineapple -- I think it got lost in the slaw, but may have contributed some sweetness. You can see that mine wasn't as messy with the sauces as the menu photo (thank goodness!) ... but this dog was a good boy. They have vegan options, including vegan "bacon bits" or chili for some of the creations. Overall, pretty simple and tasty. I'd go back and think I'd have to get the Colombian dog next: pineapple, cheese, sauce and crushed chips :D read more

I love having a place to stop and get a customized vegan hot dog, it's very casual and a nice place to meet up with friends. The California dog is pretty spot on as a replacement and the buns are so fluffy! However, toppings were a little underwhelming and nothing I'd necessarily be crazing. I'll happily stop by again when in the mood for an old fashioned hot dog! Side note: they offer vegan donuts from a local shop! They had cookie dough and sugar. There are other non-vegan options as well. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! read more

Quick and delicious! Cute little place just a few minutes walk from Old Town Scottsdale. I got the Columbian (yum!) and my husband got the Wunderhund. Plus the patatones. Fries were crispy on the outside and tasty. Nice gentleman behind the counter came by to check on each table. I would recommend if you're craving something more than a regular hot dog. read more

Go support this small business! The owner is very kind and was super patient as I perused their surprisingly large vegan menu. I got the vegan hawaiian hot dog and it was by far the best vegan hot dog I've ever had. I am not usually a big fan of sweet and salty foods, but this hot dog is built different. The pineapple and barbecue sauce work so nicely together, and with the crispy vegan bacon and cheese it is marvelous. The vegan hot dog itself was also great and resembled a meat hot dog so well. Next time I definitely will get two and try the other flavors. My boyfriend got the normal hawaiian and he also loved that! Note: The place is small and only has a few tables. read more

Whatever you are doing in Scottsdale, you need to take the time to go buy Simon's hotdogs. It says that these are Colombian hotdogs, and I have never been to Columbia. But, it might be worth a trip if all the hotdogs are this good. If you're a meat lover, you were in heaven. If you're a vegan, you have a ton of options that are delicious. Shocked to find this gem hidden in a strip mall, but it is well worth the fight. Got the ultimate contradiction in a vegan cowboy hotdog with chili and vegan cheese, but it was incredible and one is very filling. I am a coleslaw snob happy to admit it. However, is coleslaw was killer and is good as the coleslaw I make. Whether for lunch, dinner, or a midday snack, this place kills it. read more

The Yelp Community named "Top 100 Places to Eat in 2021" and do you know where Simon's Hot Dog was on the list? IN THE TOP FIVE, NUMBER FIVE! Fifty states, one hundred spots, and Simon's Hot Dog got the fifth spot! Wow! With such bragging rights under their belt, my gal pal Priscila A. and I had to pay them a visit! We got three hot dogs, a vegan mac & cheese, and some fries to split between us and whoa, we were so painfully full afterwards. We had the Tokyo Madness (teriyaki onions, wasabi mayo, and nori) with a California vegan dog, the Sonoran Cousin (refried beans, onions, mustard, Simon's Sauce, bacon bites, and jalapeños) with a Colombian chorizo dog, and the Colombian (Their signature dog - pineapple, mozzarella cheese, Simon's Sauce, and crushed potato chips) with the beef dog. Everything was legit good and there was no bad bite. You couldn't even tell that the vegan dog was meatless but I will admit that the beef dog has my heart. It was flavorful. I will say though that the vegan mac & cheese was giving me potato salad vibes. Maybe it was the texture, the color, or maybe my brain thought the color looked a lot like mustard but it had the potato salad vibes. It was tasty but not exactly mac & cheese, haha! And the fries... just get them! They're the perfect fry! Priscila got a regular non-vegan Alfajores (homemade butter cookies filled with dulce de leche) as a dessert and she enjoyed it! The owner is such a super nice guy. He gave us some great suggestions and checked up on us frequently. We had heard him telling another patron that Simon is his twelve year-old son! How sweet of him to name his business after his son! I knew the food was 5-stars good when I found myself sitting in front of some empty baskets, looking at Priscila, and admitting, "We forgot to Boomerang us bumping wieners." It was just too good for the 'gram! read more

We stopped here for a quick bite and this is what we ordered! Sonoran Dog - first time having a sonoran dog and it was delicious. The bun was nicely toasted. This hot dog was full of toppings. Every bite was satisfaction. All the ingredients went really well together. I really like the Jalapeño because it adds a nice contrast to the flavor. Colombian Dog - This is my personal favorite. The flavor was umami with a nice hint of sweetness from the pineapple. The sauce was creamy and tangy. The beef hot dog had a nice crunch texture and was really flavorful. If you're looking for a quick bite and you don't want to get too full. I highly recommend this place! read more

Beef hot dog is so juicy delicious. It goes well with every topping combo. My favorite is the Tokio madness. I could not believe that seaweed nori can go really well with hot dog. Corn maicitos are so addictive. I love the crunchiness of bacon and chip as well as the creaminess of corn and cheese. The columbian chorizo is flavorful and more dense than other kinds of chorizo. This is a busy small restaurant but they are so fast in preparing the delicious food. I placed an online order through their website, and paid when I got there. read more

Needed a quick bite after an appointment & Simon's hot dog popped up. I had the coloumbian pork hot dog with Simon's sauce, chips, & pineapple. The columbian hot dog had sooo much flavor I could've just eaten a plain one, however, the sweet pineapple & his sauce gave it that extra flavorful balance. The kicker was the chips which added awesome texture to the hot dog. Thanks, Simon! I'll be back with some friends. read more

This place is amazing!! They have interesting speciality hot dogs but don't be scared off by that! The German dog (I subbed regular beef dog for a brat) was so good. The brown spicy mustard mixed well with the brat. The Colombian is also a must try! It's got pineapple, cheese and crushed potato chips. The French fries are extra crispy, almost like they were fried twice. I got the cheese fries and wished I got two orders! So yummy. I ordered delivery through DoorDash and it was extremely fast and hot when it arrived! read more

found this place on yelp as i was coming into arizona and met up with some friends to try out the nearly 5 star rated hot dogs and myyyy gosh they were amazing!!! this store is a small store hidden in almost an alleyway looking street next to a plaza but the quality and flavors are there! the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly to us, explaining how our orders take a while because they're made fresh (heck ya!) and gave great recommendations! their flavors can be made vegetarian or vegan as they have vegan hot dogs as well. the fries are perfectly crisp and both the bacon ranch and chili cheese on top was so good. it may look like a standard hot dog but they're doing something right of people come from out of town just to get it! my boyfriend and i had to stop by again on our way home before we left! read more

NOW A FOOD TRUCK. The absolute BEST hot dog in the entire country!

Very unassuming entrance, but I knew I couldn't pass up trying it after reading the reviews. They did not lead me astray. The hot dog was amazing! They employee made it fresh after the order, and you could tell the benefit. I ordered just a plain hot dog with ketchup, so definitely didn't get too crazy, but it was still very good. The fries were fresh and crispy. I would 100% recommend this restaurant for a quick, tasty, fresh, and inexpensive dinner! read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel and got this to go. They forgot the cheese fries but luckily we were close enough to go back.

I heard about this place somewhere and had it in the back of my mind. When I was finally in Scottsdale for a date night, we stopped in. This place is so clean and the man working I believe was the owner, was so friendly and helpful. He recommended the Colombian hotdog and it was mouth watering. I would have never thought to try pineapples on a hotdog but it did not disappoint! This place is right next to old town and a great place to stop in for a quick, affordable and delicious bite. We will definitely be back when in the area again. read more

Was dying to try a Sonoran hot dog but didn't feel up to a drive. The reviews for Simon's were too good to pass up. SUPER friendly and helpful - love that to get started. Cute little chill spot. The Sonoran Cousin dog was money! The bun was perfectly sized to hold all the toppings and was so soft and fresh. It reminded more of a Bao bun than a hot dog bun. Fries were super crispy and tasty! Definitely a spot to hit when I come back to town! read more

This was probably the most disappointing meal I had on my first visit to Phoenix. I was there on business and immediately checked Yelp to see where I should eat close to where I was staying. Simon's was in the parking lot of my hotel and had a perfect five stars, so that seemed like a no-brainer. There's wasn't anything wrong with the Columbian dog, I just didn't see anything terribly special about it. The dining area is clean but nothing special. Service was good. Everything was just A-OK but nothing struck me as a five star experience. read more

These dogs are awesome. They're usually at my local tap house Tipsy Cactus on Wednesdays and we try to make it whenever we can.

LOVE Simon's. The Colombian hot dog with the potato chip crumbles is to die for. Just so freaking good. Service is always on the mark here and it's cool they have vegan options (even though I personally do not order them because I love meat lol). Not surprising in any way this place is a 5 star with hundreds of reviews - which is super rare to see on Yelp! read more

Honestly have never had anything I disliked from Simon's. Recently tried the sweet potato salad and it was so freaking good. That is coming from someone who typically does not like potato salad, but this chipotle version with sweet potatoes was great! They have 2 different versions of plant-based hot dogs, which are both great. I have enjoyed the Columbian, the German with kraut, the Sonoran... The bun is so soft and fluffy. If I just had the bun with all of the toppings, I'd be just as happy. hah! Family-owned and such a sweet group of people. Definitely recommend anyone stop in and give their tasty foods a try! read more

No disappointment here! I ordered the Korean, beef hot dog, and a side of the creamy corn dip. The bun was so soft and the sandwich didn't disappoint me. All the flavors came together perfectly! The corn dip came with nacho chips and the dip was delicious and plentiful! Hubby ordered the sausage dog ,Sonoran Cousin. He enjoyed his sandwich as well! read more

The service here is very amiable. I must've misread the menu because I thought I'd get a small discount if I bought fries and a drink; I only got a small discount on the drink. I got one of the hot dogs and a large chili fries. I ended up really liking their chili but there simply wasn't enough chili on the fries. The hot dog was pretty good. Sweet tea is one of my favorite drinks and I have to say the sweet tea at this place was the worst sweet tea I've ever had in my life. Although the food was good, it cost me $18 and I wasn't even full after eating all of it. read more
