TIE: Dog Almighty and Rock Dog

Best Hot Dog Renaissance
John Anderson
Rock Dog

Say goodbye to the Dark Ages: The mighty wiener has made a comeback! Dog Almighty's menu features scrumptious, 100% pure-beef hot dogs, steamed buns, slow-stewed sauerkraut, and their own special veggie chili and tofu dogs for the veggies in your crew. But the real fun begins with free ping-pong and foosball. Free ping-pong! Makes us proud to be American. And so does Rock Dog, just north of the Drag – an Austin original with a dining room packed to the gills with local music memorabilia in the spirit of nostalgic haunts like Threadgill's and Texicalli Grill. The Rock features a fantastic array of grilled dogs, including the tangy Buffalo Bleu Dog with blue cheese and hot wing sauce, perfect french fries (especially when topped with their dang-fine, artery-plugging queso), and homemade dessert treats.
