“ ALWAYS love Top Dog! Every time I'm in NorCal, I gotta stop by at least one of them and this one, at least of the 2 that I've gone to, has the most seating and I do enjoy that. Affordable hot dogs, lots of delicious weiners, self serve condiment area (not crowded which is a plus), and super quick service. The only issue was that some of the hot dog links were already sold out by the end of the night, so keep that in mind. Some of my favorite to get at Top Dog are their Louisiana hot link (made with 4 different types of peppers) and actually gives you a good kick (goes great with the hot mustard and sauerkraut too) and for the second hot dog, I usually let my boyfriend choose (or third or fourth depending on how hungry that we are). For this particular night, we got their standard Polish Kielbasa (can never go wrong with that). All hot dogs come with a bun too! Quick delicious dogs! ”

“ First time at this location and once every ten years is about right. Did I imagine the hot dogs being 50% bigger and half the price way back when? Nostalgia does wonders. Nice snack but nothing to drive miles for. ”

“ Nothing better than buying dogs to cook later at home. They even come with buns! The staff are always friendly. ”

“ Very good hot dogs here, and one of the rare Bay Area institutions that's 1.) still around and 2.) doesn't rip off its customers. Not too long of a wait for your dogs once you order. Limited seating inside and the seats and tables were kind of filthy, but it's a nice place to sit and watch people go by on a warm day (after you brush off other people's crumbs and mess). Went with the mango habanero and loved it. Not overly sweet and had a great kick of heat. Went well with a couple lines of mustard, and the bun was soft with just the right amount of crisp. My only complaint is that these dogs are kind of small, which is saying a lot given that I'm not a huge eater. But at only a few bucks each, you won't be breaking the bank to order a second. ”

“ Sooooooooo love TOP DOG!!! Whenever I touch down in the Bay I gotta have my hot link with grilled and raw onions, mustard and a little relish. The bread is outta this world and makes the dog complete. ”

“ If you need a hot dog, this is the place! Choices & prices are still pretty good too!! ”

“ Where can you go to experience an economical and convenient meal that won't break the bank? They've been around for decades in the Berkeley storefront not as long here in Oakland. Top Dog is the place. If you're having or attending a BBQ buy some cold dogs and buns here for a real reasonable price to go! The service has always been good. It helps to be a real people person to work here. It's a quaint shop here. They also have t-shirts and caps for sale. Gotta love them. If you travel don't be surprised if someone recognizes your garb and casually walks up to you to express their appreciation. ”

“ My son and I stopped in to get a dog and for me to reminisce about old times to him. The worker behind the counter, Martin, was a friendly soul. Very friendly and provided outstanding service. My son got the regular Top Dog Frankfurter and I had the bratwurst. Both were great. I think my first time in a Top Dog was probably 45 years ago in Berkeley. Martin says Top Dog is still owned by the original husband and wife owners. Food is still great and with great employees like Martin, we will continue to come back! ”
