Spike's Junkyard Dogs

This place makes hot dogs, veggie dogs, and puts chicken in a hot dog bun. They have tons of crazy combinations, from the grotesque to your everyday summer-day-dog. The place is made to look kind of like a 50s diner, and the food comes up pretty fast, but not as fast as Mickey D's...which i think is a good thing. The craziest thing here is their hot dog eating contest. All along the walls are pictures of contestants. Any day, and time, you can enter. You have one hour to east as many hot dogs, buns included, as you can. No bathroom breaks, not going outside. there is a whole poster of all of the rules. The winner gets their hot dogs for free, and if you eat something like at 5 or 6 hot dogs, i think you get a t-shirt. But beware, these ain't your mama's average franks, they're plump. And the Big Dog's top score is about 14 hot dogs. You're getting yourself into trouble here...but if you keep it down, you'll be a celebrity. more

This is a great place to go get a hot dog. They have several different styles of hot dog such as the PIzza Dog where they put tomato sauce and cheese on your hot dog and that is one of my personal favorites. Thy have like 25 different varieties of Hot Dog and they are all really delicious. You can also get a chicken sandwich if you want, but the reason to go here is definitely for the hot dogs. more

At the corner of Brighton Ave. and Linden St., Spike's Junkyard Dogs is the only place to go for quality hot dogs. Open 'til 1am, it's great for the college students looking for a late night bite. The restaurant is decorated with signs ranging from street signs to warning signs. You actually feel like a dog is ready to pounce from behind the fence that marks the entrance to the line for the counter. The food here is great and unique, but seating is limited. more
