Damn awesome place with possibly the best hot dog I ever had in Portland. Had a Larodeo dog with a ranch water cocktail that were incredible. It was also great chatting with the owner about Texas stuff, super cool guy! Fantastic place to stop for a dog, drink, and a slice of Texas. read more

Junk. Overpriced 2 drinks and 2 dogs 55. Wouldn't even replace the order they booted. He said don't yell at me. Replace my dog it's 5 damn . Rude. What a clown. He said "don't yell at me". Replace the error read more

If you like motorcycles and hotdogs, you may have found your new favorite spot! An actual motorcycle repair shop with a bar that serves wildly topped hotdogs. I think we came a little late in the day on a Sunday and the bartender did not seem thrilled to have to make hot dogs. The space is open with high top stools and picnic tables, not super comfortable. Our dogs were good, but could have been grilled more or been hotter. Other pictures of dogs seem more artistic...two of them didn't have the cut marks of grill sear... read more

Confused why all toppings and buns need to be vegan when real meat hot dogs are offered? I love bacon - vegan bacon is a disgusting, highly-overprocessed mess...I prefer mine to be naturally growed from real swine. Is it THAT difficult to offer real bacon and cheese in addition to the vegan selections? Especially for a hot dog hovering around $10!! Just bizarre and frankly (no pun intended), annoying as a customer who was not aware of this before driving over to try it out. Additionally, it's so confusing. Is it a motorcycle repair garage? Saloon? Hot dog stand? Are they ever open? The first time I tried to go, I drove away because it looked as if my directions had mistakenly led me to a dingy, run down garage. Overall, not recommended, none in our party care to return. If they're so vegan conscious, maybe just focus on that so us legit carnivores don't waste our time with a sad dog in a vegan bun with unappealing toppings. Super meh, solidly MID, as the youths say. read more

Five stars across the board. Great dogs, drinks, service, and a unique atmosphere. Both carnivores and vegans are equally accommodated. read more

Was really excited for these dogs and they just didn't deliver. They just didn't live up to the photo-hype, online. CRAZY loud motorcycles, frequently drown out conversation. Patrons and staff were friendly. read more

Third Coast Hot Dogs - Hot Dogs Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Third Coast Hot Dogs is a side hustle for a motorcycle repair shop and a cyclist hangout. It joins Portland multi-businesses which serve drinks along with their main business. A favorite a while back was a thrift clothing shop with a bar in NoPo. They have their signature dog toppings, beer, and mixed drinks which can be made without alcohol. Hot dogs, the humble tube steak, rest on the horns of the dilemma. They are not that healthy but they use the whole animal. Sonoran hot dogs came across my radar a few years back, so sometimes I seek out new dogs. Third Coast is a hard-working one person machine. Sage takes the orders, pours the drinks, puts cross-hatch marks with a mold, grills them on an electric grill, toasts the buns, and assembles with toppings. Order at the bar, bring cash, listen for order up, self buss. We had the San Anto and the Amarillos. I think the Amarillos was more successful with the sweetness of the BBQ sauce. There is plenty of seating, and plenty of street parking. They can do vegan and gluten free. read more

Sage What a gem Vibe was dope, ambiance was relaxing, very clean, garage doors rolled up and perfect breeze when we sat at the bar. Service was top tier, Sage recommended the mole hot dog (his favorite) and it was mine as well. My friend and I got 4 glizzys and he kindly cut them in half for us so we could each try them all! Smooth ordering, maybe 10 minutes for our food, drinks were really good as well. I recommend this place to anyone and everyone, I definitely want to work my way through the menu. I believe Sage had said if you can eat 6 dogs, all different and of his choosing, in one hour you get a free shirt. If you eat 8 (same rules as above) you get a shirt and don't have to pay for the dogs. Bring friends so you can try multiple, too hard to choose one!! I'll be back. read more

I've been wanting to go here ever since I saw them on a Tik Tok video. Located inside a motorcycle repair shop, this place had quite the laid back vibe with super nice bartender/chef, rocking music, and plenty of seating inside it out in the parking lot. They have both vegan and beef hot dogs and so many cool options. On top of that, you can get mixed drinks in which you can add no alcohol or add alcohol allowing you to choose cheap to top shelf alcohol. This themed bar and gourmet hot dog bar is of course motorcycle themed. Parking is really just street parking but I had no issues finding nearby parking. I got a hot dog and NA drink and both were so delicious. The hot dog bun was lightly toasted giving that little perfect crunch. The hot dog was plump and juicy and honestly one of the best I've had. Mine had cream cheese and sweet peppers. So good! I have to come back again. It was so good! read more

My roommate and I frequent Third Coast for hotdogs and beer, especially in the summertime! I'm obsessed with their vegan dog offerings, and my roommate loves their beef hotdogs! They are always so thoughtful about labeling when we take them to go! Everyone is so kind and helpful! 11/10!! read more

Killer hot dogs! The vibes are it- biker garage with Texas spirit. Delicious delicious dogs. They do have veggie friendly too! On the regular dogs the have a fancy criss cross cutter that I hope the get for the veggie dogs to make them more/extra crispy. read more

I'm from New York City, so I know a good hot dog when I see one--Sage really does it right! Excellent, fast service, delicious hotdogs, a great atmosphere, and good music. There's nothing more you could ask for. Definitely check out this spot read more

Love this place. Vibe is great. Sage has some great hot dogs on the menu. Have some patience when they get busy they're doing double duty. But the hotdogs are worth it. PS - ask him to combine the larodeo and bae city read more

So really like the environment and the dogs are pretty darn good. The dog itself was fairly salty however the toppings were very good and bun was also good. There was one dude there running the place who was friendly however would be nice if used gloves or washed hands when handling/making your food as moves between bussing tables, handling cash, etc then straight to touching the food. read more

Sage is a dope guy that loves what he does. These hot dogs are some of the best dogs I've had in such a long time. It's the fact that I can get a good gluten free bun too without any worry that I am going to get sick after. There's also vegan options as well. The fact that this place is self ran is out standing to me and I'm so happy it's getting the love it's always deserved with the new hype around the place. Hats off to you brother, I'm so proud of you and the work you continue to create. If you're looking for a chill spot and to try new variations of hot dogs, this is the spot! Also for folks coming because of the TikTok hype and are shocked he sells out as quickly as he does, perhaps coming during the work week could help you out? He's selling out because it's GOOD. Crying about missing that and leaving poor reviews, subscribe to his Instagram page and keep an eye because he will post ahead of time when he does sell out. read more

I'm not a huge hotdog person so I wasn't really excited to try this place that my friends were raving about but boy was my mind changed! I just got a plane hot dog, gluten free tortillas instead of a bun (I know :( but I'm allergic not just gf for the notoriety of it) just to see what it tasted like so I could know which one of the amazing specials to go with next time. I also love that they have dairy free and vegan options!! The hot dog is scored to perfection and honestly was delicious without any of the toppings so I imagine it can only go up from there!! Awesome atmosphere in a garage/warehouse AND a full bar. The service was great and it went faster than I expected given there's one person making everything! Definitely recommend! read more

I love this place! The hot dogs combos are awesome! Be advised, Sage doesn't take any s***. If you're a princess this is not for you. It's all Texas themed and the bike shop gives a fun vibe. You stand in line to order, your number is called for pickup or you get table delivery depending on how busy they are. If you are adventurous go off menu and order the special - be brave - you won't regret it! The drink blends are fun and great eith or without liquor. Enjoy! read more

Food was overall not too bad. Service was shitty, as a person who's been in the food service industry for years it upset me when the OWNER himself told me he wouldn't accommodate to my food restrictions. I wasn't asking for a lot just asking to substitute something and he rolled his eyes, thought about it for while and said no without any reasoning. Will not be doing back, surprised this place is still open when the owners attitude says a lot of the establishment! read more

This is a bike shop that stumbled into having a completely badass bar/hot dog stand. Love everything about this place. This is what a small business is all about. Meeting a local demand, and doing it well. The vibes/service are great, the music was outstanding (mix of early garage & classic first wave) hotdogs were freaking awesome. It's a little pricey but I think worth it, and I vastly prefer to support small businesses like this. Oh, and if you can, pay with ca$h! I went on a Thursday night and it was not too busy (I hear it gets slammed on weekends) read more

Just showed up door was open Also the open sign was on we drove down from salem to eat the guy was rude and slammed the door and said we open at 3 right in front of my two kids and wife. Never will we go here learn how to run a business read more

I'm only giving two stars because the hot dogs were great! the service was terrible. went to this place and felt right at home with some friends. Bartender was extremely rude and condescending. When closing out our tabs bartender was Extremely rude and said, "I'm gonna teach you bar ettiquitte so you aren't so rude!" Questioning the bartender about what went wrong, we were ignored. Other customers and accompanied friends also questioned what went wrong. With no clear verification, I was literally thrown my tab and told to leave. Will not be returning... read more

Wow what a gem! Bar slash motorcycle repair shop slash best hot dogs in the city restaurant! A surprise for sure. The toppings and flavor combos are unique and tasty AF. The vibe is rad a true Portland experience. read more

Food was great and inventive. Loved how it was geared towards vegetarian and non-alcoholic then you could request to add meat or alcohol. Service was fast, it was just the owner who does everything. Environment is great, place is very laid back. A favorite spot for my picky vegetarian husband and I to go. read more

Best vegan hot dogs I've ever had. All around great place with great people, food, and drinks! Vegan hot dogs are amazing. Haven't had a single style that wasn't amazing. One dog is filling, but they're so good I always have to order two. Sage does a killer job and is always working hard to get the dogs & drink out fast. read more

Want a dog. They got 'em. 13 of them, in fact. You can get your fix gluten free and vegan too. This was my first time having cream cheese on a dog. Fuck Seattle, but cream cheese is a delight on a dog. Look, this is a tiny, motorcycle repair shop. So, set your expectations...and behavior accordingly. Great place. Would return and would recommend. read more

Awesome dogs, good prices, motorcycles near by what else could you ask for!?! Nice people, cool friendly vibe.

I have worked my way through a good chunk of the menu, and I can say with confidence that there isn't anywhere that has the quality, nor the variety, of Third Coast Hot Dogs. It's the kind of place where the experience you have is very much controlled by your behavior: if you're giving a lot of attitude, you'll be leaving with great food, but not the best time. It's honest, and I personally like that about a place. If you check that kind of entitlement and attitude at the door, you'll also have good food, and a great time too. read more

My husband and I were really looking forward to trying this place. I'm originally from Texas and proud of it, so when I saw the Texas theme, I was excited to support what I thought was a business that shared those values--hard work, hospitality, and pride in what you do. Unfortunately, that's not what we got. I don't know if the guy behind the bar was the owner or just an employee, but either way, his attitude was completely unacceptable. I asked a couple of polite questions about the menu--nothing out of line--and he acted like I was a nuisance. Gave me a short, irritated answer, then turned and mumbled something under his breath as he walked away. Real professional. If you're going to be in the service industry, the bare minimum is treating customers with respect. It's not that complicated--be decent, be helpful. Instead, this guy acted like a sulky teenage girl with an attitude problem. We lost our appetite and walked out. Disappointing, especially from a place claiming Texas pride. You can slap a Lone Star on the wall, but if you don't show it in how you treat people, it doesn't mean much. read more

Food was good, very overpriced for what you get. Good atmosphere, but very much a larping ground for "bikers." Server who took our orders was very rude and acted like we didn't exist. Will not be returning if he is the one serving. read more

The fucking best dawgs in town. One man show who does everything he can to create a great experience for everyone there, literally the coolest dude.

Their hotdogs are always bangers. Seriously can't get enough.. in fact last time I went I was so full and I still ordered another one.. and it was a banger. Sage is always super chill and makes the ordering easy. He always has great recommendations. They have the main shop doors closed for winter so you have to enter in through the door next to them which is sick because then it isn't cold in there. Overall great spot for awesome dogs and great drinks. read more

Holy crap these are good hot dogs! I like the bike shop ambiance but If you're looking for a fine dining experience this ain't it....come for the dogs and you'll be happy. read more

Hot dog was "fine" but truly nothing special. They cook them on a Ninja electric grill, don't expect true grilled flavor. Bun was fine but also nothing special. Toppings are unique, the one I had was fine but nothing special. For the money, it should be way better. It's expensive. Not on the top 5 hot dogs I've had in Portland. The vibe here is weird, while sometimes it's called "Third Coast Hot Dogs" when I got there it was at the front of a what appears to be a large shop where they might work on motorcycles, and it was called "Grey Horse Saloon" (get it? Grey Horse? Motorcycles? So brilliant). There are signs up everywhere with weird kitsch that seems straight out of some hipster faux-biker bar that belongs in Austin TX where tech bros can feel like they are being edgy. The guys working there were not very friendly and seemed like they trying a bit too hard to lean into their fantasy identity of motorcycle bad boys who just happen selling hot dogs. Truly bizarre, one of the least Portland vibes I've ever felt in Portland. Will not return. read more

Great delicious hot dogs! And the drinks were very refreshing. My friend and I had 2 hot dogs each - we left to another spot, then came back for a 3rd hot dog within the hr! They're soooo bomb read more

This place has THE best vibe. The vibe that says, "come in have a drink, have a dog, strike up a conversation, play a 90's video game or bust out one of these board games if you want, no one is gonna bother you." If you're boujie and you're coming here because you're excited they finally have a dog on the market that you don't have to eat in the closet, you won't see it that way n ya might as well hustle on back to the Pearl. Nobody's gonna come around to your table and beg to hear that you're satisfied or ask if they can serve you anything else. But when you're done eating, you'll want to get back in line and try another one. No matter which one you choose, it will be a culinary adventure with quality ingredients, thoughtfully and creatively constructed and will make you realize you never thought you'd feel this way about a hot dog. read more
