Top Dog is a classic no-frills hotdog joint that has been a favorite among locals and visitors alike. This beloved spot has been serving up some of the best links around, with fans claiming they're the best they've ever had, even for those who have lived in NYC for over 40 years. The menu features a variety of sausages, including the classic 100% beef Frankfurter, Garlic, Hot Link, and Bockwurst, all served on a crusty French roll with complementary toppings. The prices are fair, and the sausages are grilled to perfection right in front of you. The hotdogs are great, with flavorful buns and excellent condiments, and many customers recommend adding sauerkraut for extra flavor. Despite no seating, Top Dog provides a quick, delicious snack, perfect after a night out or when craving a fantastic "frankfurter." It can get crowded on weekends, especially since it’s in a college area, and the staff sometimes seem rushed, but the quality of the hotdogs remains high. The lemonade isn’t overly sweet, and they offer good chili and a variety of self-serve toppings on the side. Though small and unassuming, Top Dog has gained a loyal following, with many traveling from afar to enjoy their delicious sausages.
