Looking for a casual date night? Or just some crazy unique hot dogs? They even have regular dogs for those wanting to satisfy that craving. Destination dogs has the $40 dollar deal that I did with a friend. You get a shareable appetizer, two glizzies, dessert, and if I remember a drink (non-alcoholic). Food wise, it's an experience to try these experimental hot dogs you would get NO WHERE ELSE. 5 stars for me along with the good service and cleanliness. I highly recommend the Bahn mi, it's SO GOOD, flavorful and reminds you of a classic bahn in a hot dog form. Place is rather spacious and kept pretty clean. Service is straight forward and were friendly when I went! It does function as a partial bar but has areas where you can be seated away from it on the upper level. You can check the menu online for really good pictures of them.

Excellent food, excellent service. Rich, our server, was so much fun. Great attitude and awesome demeanor. He really added to the experience. We had the deviled eggs, patatas ridiculas and a couple of hotdogs. Not a bad bite to be found. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite casual restaurants in the NB area where weirdly the hot dogs are my least favorite of all the things they offer. The hot dog menu is very unique and they are definitely good, but the drinks, appetizers, and environment are even better additions to something already great. My only complaint is the bread buns they use for the hot dogs aren't quite proportionate to the sausage, maybe if they were half their current size. As someone who no longer drinks, the strawberry lemonade is a must. And the caesar salad for the price, the size is amazing. I love coming here and trying a new hot dog every time! Service has always been pretty prompt and kind.

I recently visited Destination Dogs, and it was a standout experience for both food and drinks. This bar/eatery strikes a perfect balance between a relaxed hangout spot and a high-quality dining venue. All dogs here are made in house and they have a large variety of the types of sausage/dogs they make. I would definitely recommend.

Came back for another restaurant week. We have been back a few times since my last review but I figured I am long overdue for an update. They had their Restaurant Week special menu for $37 for two that included two individual apps or a large app to share, Two hot dogs, One side order to share, a dessert to share, and two fountain drinks. For apps we got the soft pretzel that comes with cheese sauce and spicy mustard and Deviled eggs which is a serving of four halves. We've had this before and they are both great. The pretzel is soft and freshly baked and the eggs have a great flavor. For the hotdogs I always get the same one, the Kansas City Beefs which is a Beef hotdog w/ pulled pork, coleslaw, and scallions. I really like how this combo goes together, it's a great flavor combination. My husband always tries something different so today he went with the Waco Kid which is a Beef hotdog w/ Chili, Cheese sauce, Fritos, Pickled jalapeños, sour cream, and scallions. That's a little bit much for my taste but he enjoyed it. We got Cheese fries for our side order. For dessert we had the Raspberry doughnut cheesecake. Everything was delicious as usual and the service was great. It also happened to be Marvel Superheroes night so there were quite a few people dressed in their costumes so that was cool. They also had a special themed menu to go along with that as well. All in all another great evening at Destination Dogs...

The chicken nachos are everything! I also order buffalo wings (all flats) lol with fries. If you want a quick bite I highly recommend Destination Dogs. Limited parking during the day but at night, there is a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.

I am NOT a hot dog person but I LOVE Destination Dogs. Super creative concept. Their varity of "dog" offerings has something for everyone. I've been twice and both times the service was friendly and fast. I could hang out at Destination Dogs for hours. I prefer the downstairs seating to upstairs - but either is good. They have great seating and bar. And look like they could accomodate larger groups. There's tons to try on the menu. In addition to the dogs, we've had the nachos which are really delicious too. Definetly give it a try!

Everyone loves Destination Dogs! This bar/restaurant is very popular around town, and all my friends and neighbors go here too. It's a great spot for lunch hour, happy hour, dinner, or the middle of the night. They've got amazing and creative hotdogs and bratwursts, with great flavors themed from places around the world. Reading the puns on the menu is entertaining! Staff is personable, friendly, helpful, and welcoming. This restaurant has a few designated free parking spots and there are also paid public lots nearby. I used to come to this location when it housed a bar called Doll's Place and I liked seeing the old wooden placard from that bar hanging up inside. When you eat here, be sure to check out the foosball and other arcade games in the side room.
