Pros: One of the best hot dogs I've ever had. Definitely the best hot dogs in Miami. Love the Dolphin, seasoned fries, and strawberry milkshake. The boyfriend got the University and he enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed mine. Upon entering the establishment, we were greeted promptly and given a rundown of the history of the place along with a brief explanation of menu items. Cons: This restaurant is located next to a tire store. They block off sections of the parking lot to display their wares and changed tires; making it really difficult to get in/out and park. read more

I fly into Miami and punch up Yelp. The best restaurant within a 5 mile radius is... a hot dog joint? I had to check this out. Sweet Dogs is *tiny.* There are maybe four stools inside and a little seating outside. After much deliberation, I chose the Dolphin dog - grilled ham, smoked bacon, melted mozzarella cheese, pineapple, "home sauce" (whatever that is) and papitas. Totally delicious. The cheese gets melted right there on the grill while you wait, so it's a golden blanket atop your dog. My only sadness is that the mozzarella blanket acts as an impenetrable barrier for all the other toppings. Couldn't the other toppings go in the bun *before the mozzarella? Or figure out a way to wrap the dog in the cheese? That would make my head explode. * Note: There's a $1 charge if you try to use your credit card for less than a certain amount. ($15, I think?) read more

Tell me, how many places do you know that have been reviewed well over 350 times and maintain a five-star rating? I honestly don't know of many places. I was actually searching for Versailles Cuban restaurant when I stumbled upon this sweet place on my Yelp app since they're located less than 1.5 miles away from each other. I quickly skimmed through the reviews and decided that I had to give this place a try before I leave town. Everything on the menu sounded so good and I would have tried every single item on the menu. However, with a little self control, I decided to try the Marlin: You get your hot dog topped with a fried egg and some sweet plantains to give it some Latin American flavor, some onions, some papitas (crispy potatoes, not really french fries), some peppers, and then smother it with some delicious guava bbq sauce. HOLY CRAP, this hot dog was good! I also tried their homemade mac n cheese and it came served in a little cup with some croutons in it. Not the best I ever had, but it definitely wasn't disappointing. My sister wasn't too hungry so she just ordered some seasoned fries. I really wish she would have ordered a hot dog so I could have a taste of something else, but oh well. The seasoned fries weren't too bad either. But you can't really mess up fries, you know? I wanted to try the crack pie that everybody seems to be raving about but they were out of it. Bummer. So I guess I'll just have to make plans to come back here. The restaurant is really small. They only had very limited counter seating and one (or was it two) outside tables. I came in around 9 pm and although it wasn't very busy, but people kept coming and going. Another thing that also makes this place plenty awesome is the fact that they open until 3:00 AM on the weekends. I'm from Houston and I can't think of any place that serves Hot Dogs of this caliber that late! All we can get that late is some "meh" Vietnamese food. Now I wish Houston Hot Dog restaurants would do something like this. You live in Miami? Haven't tried this place out yet? What the hell is wrong with you? You're passing through? Visiting? Skip Versailles and come here instead. Seriously. read more

Server was this really friendly enthusiastic dude and very attentive. the food is simple its all hotdogs and sausages lol yummy goodness. I am not going to lie, I love me my sausages. lol Polish sausage (4/5) delicious! it was a little too oily but yum! homemade Mac and cheese (4/5) really cheesy but melt in your mouth. still a little too cheesy for me. homemade BBQ beans (5/5) the best beans Ive had in Florida period! right amt of favor and bean ratio. homemade beef chili with cheese on fries (5/5) the fries were hot and crispy plus not oily at all. The homemade chili was delicous and on top of crispy fries with gooey cheese = yummy goodness oreo milkshake (5/5) the best milshake Ive had in a long time. its a must whether the oreo, strawberry, pineapple, or vanilla milkshake. you gots to have one. overall (4.5/5) read more

Oh my!!!! That is what you will be saying once you try this place. There is a reason why they have over 300 reviews and all 5 stars. The hot dogs are amazing, as well as all the other food they serve. I normally get the Mac & Cheese and Dolphins dog and I am never disappointed. The Dolphins dog is the perfect blend of savory and slightly sweet (because of the pineapple). The bacon and ham just add great taste and the papitas give a nice flavor and more importantly, added texture to the dog. This last time I came, I ordered one of the natural juices (Guanabana) they make and it was a perfect companion to the meal. The Cantaloupe was also really good and tasted as if you were eating a real melon in liquid form. And to top it off, they include a free mini candy bar in every basket, which is just awesome in my book. Oh and the owner, is just an amazing guy. Other restaurant owners should work for him so they can see what a real, friendly, and customer oriented owner should be like. I could honestly say that I would come back just because of him, but I don't need to because the food is that good. Happy eating!! read more

This place is small and quaint. Victor the owner is spot on with his customers. The real clincher are the hot dogs. Made to order just like you want it. Highly recommended read more

I've come down a little from the euphoria of eating literally the best mac and cheese I've ever had. The pasta was cooked perfectly and mixed with just the right cheese topped with some Parmesan and crunchy croutons...it's like a smooth creamy seduction of the tongue that's nothing like the cheap processed cheese-like crap you find most places. With that description past us, the all beef Nathan's quarter pound hotdog itself (wrapped in a sweet bun and covered with fried ham, bacon, cheese, some diced pineapple, and shoe string potatoes) was something almost other worldly. I mean, who thinks of putting all those flavors together in one place? Some kind of crazy person. That crazy person has got to be Victor, the owner. Here is a guy that ropes you in as soon as you walk through the door and gently guides you through the maze of flavor that is represented on his menu of signature dogs. We were lucky enough to be the only customers, and got the royal treatment as we unloaded our wallets and loosened buttons to pull in food that is surely not going to help get that beach body. You top the whole experience off with a shake (I had the Oreo because, um yeah.) and then you have no choice but to write a review about it. So here I am several hours later. I'm back in my hotel pounding out work for tomorrow's meetings and all I really want is another hotdog and a cup of that heavenly mac and cheese.. That's worth 5 stars right there. read more

This is a hole in the wall place with great flavor. I came in and was nicely introduced to the extensive menu, with emphasis on great quality Nathan dogs with homemade toppings. I ordered the Italian sausage regular and waited for one of three seating areas to become available. The sausage and the Mac and cheese side were both delicious. I'd come back more often if this place wasn't 20 minutes from my house. read more

OK so I went to this location after discovering it on yelp. I saw where it was that on the map and when I thought went asap first thing Saturday morning arriving in a small shopping center on eighth Street. I had seen the pictures of these incredible hotdogs and I was here as I ordered my Mr. chili I have to judge a hotdog establishment by the chili dog of course. The owner was very nice and very polite I love the social distancing on the seating and a mask request of course. Now the food I have been to many other places gourmet hotdogs Columbian hotdogs new york hotdogs but I have to say the combinations that they have here at Sweet dogs are incredible. I have to try them all but the Mr. chili that I had now that's a chili dog actually was very good it wasn't spicy but it wasn't tamed either It had flavor I love all the extra cheese on top and some of the goodies in there that I can't even tell what it was but I have to see the quality of the hot dog was amazing and it is a very large hot dog. I got there and I want to order two and he quickly advised one I did try the mac & cheese which is amazing it is very well done. They also have flavored popcorn I'll let you discover that when you go it is really good I bought a bag it's excellent. We had chili cheese fries too they were just as good as the chili dogs amazing I love that they have some kind of white cheese at the mix in with the chili sauce it's just not regular cheddar it is serious it had also some special kind of sauce on the cheese I don't know what it was but it was delicious I definitely am going back this weekend. Love the Decour love the establishment love all the sports memorabilia and I love the staff very friendly they have also outdoor seating to so it's pretty cool. This is a good one for me this is five stars that's on yummy it is. read more

The food here is just incredible. Definitely a nice little hole in the wall with options for anyone. I personally love the popcorn they make and you can never go wrong with the hotdogs. The Mac n' cheese is also a low key move so don't skip out on it. Just be ready for the limited space inside so keep that in mind when visiting but I definitely will continue to recommend this place if your looking for something to break the routine. read more

The owner was fully engaged with his customers. Trying to build a good conversation and interested our the service being offered. The food was well prepared, fast and delicious. I felt like I was in a family environment. I can't wait to go back and continue to try more items on the menu. Although they are open to your own creations. Best hot dogs place in Miami in my opinion. Thank you Victor and Jorge. Went twice on the same day. read more

Sweet dogs is the d'édition of a hidden gem. I first discovered this restaurant a few months ago, & am so happy I did. It seems like it used to be more popular years ago, but traffic seems to have died down. This small business is really worth your money. I stay basic and get a polish dog, and it is delicious everytime. The bun is always perfectly toasted and crispy on the outside!!! read more

Epic just epic try it if you haven't and get the popcorn on your way out. Classic sweet dog all day. Chris helped us and immediately made us feel welcome and taken care of. Keep going to Sweet Dogs. read more

Why bother coming here: Sweet Dogs is ranked No.12 on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S. for 2015 (http://officialblog.yelp.com/2015/01/yelps-top-100-places-to-eat-in-the-us-for-2015.html) and ranked No.1 on the Yelp's Top 50 Places to Eat in Miami (http://communityblog.yelp.com/2015/08/yelps-top-50-places-to-eat-in-miami-.html). Parking: A pretty small (and free) parking lot with only one way to get in & out (easy to drive into the lot, but difficult to drive out). Service: Very friendly service - the moment I walked into the shop, one of the staff immediately called me boss right off the bat. Just a note, $1 additional fee for credit card transaction less than $10. Menu: You can choose one of eight different pre-customized hot dogs that are named after each Miami sports home team & you can also substitute hot dogs to Italian sausage or Polish sausage by paying a little bit more. Other sides also include mozzarella sticks, mac & cheese, coleslaw, beef chili, BBQ beans, french fries, various milkshakes, etc. *** The Dolphins (Grilled Ham, Smoked, Bacon, Melted Mozzarella Cheese, Pineapple, Home Sauce, Papitas - a choice of hot dog OR Italian sausage OR Polish sausage, $8): I chose Polish sausage and it was a lot bigger than your typical hot dog (about a quarter pound). I see the appeal - a giant bacon-wrapped sausage with papitas (potato sticks) for crispy texture. Great toppings, but sausage was not as flavorful as I thought. (3.5/5) Mac & Cheese (homemade, $4): It had a layer of croutons and powdered parmesan cheese. It was one amazing mac & cheese with such a smooth texture. Arguably one of the best mac & cheese I've had. (5/5) *** I've had better hot dogs in Los Angeles (e.g. Dog Haus & Portillo's Hot Dogs), but Sweet Dogs still offers excellent service, generous portion of hot dogs / sausages, and amazing mac & cheese. P.S. - The hot dog also came with a small bag of Whoppers Original Malted Milk Balls. read more

This place makes insanely good hot dogs. They've got a ton of different choices and really cool ingredients to choose from too. No matter what you're in the mood for, you can pretty much get a hot dog to scratch that itch. Great fries, sides, and milk shakes also. Service is also always great. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

I need more of everything... hot dog? Soda? Mac and cheese? Ice cream? Please keep feeding me

This place is hidden in a small plaza so if you're not looking close enough, you might miss it. When you step in, you're greeted with enthusiasm by the friendly crew behind the counter. We had the sweet dog and a side of Mac and cheese. Both were delicious. The Mac and cheese was very rich. I wasn't able to enjoy it all because my 4 year old devoured it. Prices are fair for the portions and quality of ingredients. This spot definitely brings a different flair to the neighborhood. There's lots of Miami sports memorabilia and articles framed along the wall. They seem to also serve Fireman Dereck's pies which is great because it saves the drive to Wynwood. Note, seating is limited. There are only a few stool and counter top space. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Sorry but this place for hot dogs with like crazy toppings wasn't it for me. Nothing special about the place at least for ME. You should try it out and see what do YOU think. Hands down Arebetters are better lol but again try it out and see what you think. Only because I didn't see what's the craze over it doesn't mean you won't. Make sure to support local venues. read more

All the hotdogs were excellent. The service was very nice as well. I'd give it 5 stars but deducted one star as they are not kosher hot dogs as advertised and noted in an earlier review. Nathan's does not make kosher 1/4 pound hot dogs. read more

Woah!! I love stumbling across random little establishments like these. My gf and I wanted some late night food after a Marlins game and stumbled across this place. It looked really interesting and I had been craving a good hot-dog since I didn't get to indulge in one at Marlins Park. The restaurant rather small with only a few seats in the front and one outside table. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, the man behind the counter was cooking up some dogs and said he'd be with us in a minute which was fine by me because I take an obnoxiously long time to look at menus anyway. They have some really unique creations all paying homage to the city of Miami (The UM, FIU, Miami Heat, Dolphins, Panthers, Miami Marlins) each dog is made to order with toppings to make your hot dog a sweet and salty treat, or savory meal. I opted for the Miami Vice which had: Beef Chili, house made coleslaw, cheddar, chopped onions, sliced dill pickles, and corn chips (I changed mine to papitos which are little fried chips) My gf got the Dolphins which has: Grilled Ham, smoked bacon, melted mozzarella, pineapple, home sauce, and papitas (although she substitutbd those for corn chips lol) The dogs took a few minutes to make and you could tell they were really fresh and well made. All the toppings and sauces are made in house too (minus mustard and ketchup and those condiments) and they are BIG....so come hungry! I want to say mine was GOOD but not amazing and I don't think that was the fault of the dog at all...I think I just didn't like my combo as much as I anticipated. My gf's was really good and also gargantuan in size! She didn't finish it all so I ate the remaining bit of hers and it was excellent. What I like best about this place is how inexpensive the dogs are relative to the area. Most places like this would charge 11-12 dollars for a hot dog, and Sweet Dogs charges between 7.50-8.50 FOR theirs so it's a really good deal! Definitely check this place out if you're looking for some unique hot dogs. read more

Great place! Great food and friendly service! I had the Italian sausage with pepper's and onions. Cooked fresh and also had the mac and cheese as a side. Definitely a recommended place! Stop in and enjoy! I will be back to try the other offerings! Quick note the Oreo popcorn was a really great treat! read more

This place had been on my bookmark for far too long. Finally on a hot Sunday afternoon after hitting the Venetian pool in coral gables and dying of hunger, yelp reminded me about it and we decided to try it out. I wish I could give this place 50 stars, the customer service was great. I believe the owner was the person that took care of us he was extremely informative with his menu and we finally decided what we wanted. While waiting for the food he gave us a sample of their house made popcorn and yikes! Even the popcorn is good. When ended up ordering a miami heat hot dog and added peppers with onions and the miami dolphins . My recommendations are; come on an empty stomach because portions are huge and do yourself a favor and get the cheese fries. These were the best hot dogs I have had In my life. read more

I was looking up lunch places in the area and found this on yelp. I was really excited because I've never really had a good hot dog before. I dragged my mom and little brother. The parking spaces are a bit tight and it was under construction. The establishment itself is pretty small with limited seating. The staff is friendly and helpful. THE HEAT- beef chili, cheddar cheese, chopped tomato, guacamole, jalapeno, and corn chips I liked the flavors in this hot dog. The guacamole was creamy with the chili and I liked the crunchiness of the corn chips. Overall the hot dog wasn't bad, but it's not different from the other hot dogs I've had. It's a bit better with various textures, but flavor wise it's about the same. THE DOLPHINS- grilled ham, smoked bacon, melted mozzarella cheese, pineapple, home sauce, and papitas My mom ordered this and she liked it. It's more of a sweet and savory flavor. I personally don't like the pineapples with ham, but the flavors gave the hot dog an interesting mix. The hot dogs here are alright. They had some interesting flavors, but nothing spectacular. I wouldn't promise that I would come back nor would I crave for it, but it wasn't too bad. read more

WARNING: Do NOT go here if you don't want your life changed forever! It's been literally almost three years and I still think about the dolphin dog I had here to this day. Highlight of that vacation. 2017, man. What a year. Every couple months I check this page to make sure they're still flourishing, just in case I ever do end up back in Miami. I get that part of the charm to this place is that it's a small local business, but oh how I wish it were a chain and accessible nationwide!!!! read more

This place is amazing...omg this is so good. Usually the best places are hidden gems and this is no exception. I had the Miami Heat dog and I was speechless, so delicious and the mac and cheese is to die for. My dog was even topped with Fritos to give it that crunchiness which balances everything out. This mac n cheese is one of the best I have ever tasted in my life, so creamy and cheesy I wanted to have two bowls of it. The gentleman is the nicest person ever and excellent customer service. I will be bringing my wife and friends here for sure...yum yum read more
