Up Dog is a vibrant retro diner with a friendly atmosphere, known for its focus on hot dogs and smashburgers. They serve delicious Nathan's all-beef hot dogs, with the chili cheese dog being a popular choice. The menu also features a variety of hot dogs inspired by different styles, such as New York with sauerkraut and mustard, and Chicago with poppyseed buns and sport peppers. The smashburgers, with their thin, crispy-edged patties stacked with cheddar and bacon, are highly recommended. The service is quick and friendly, with staff like Nicole providing a genuine experience. The shop’s small, cozy, and clean setting is decorated with bright red and chrome, creating a nostalgic vibe. Prices are affordable, making it easy to enjoy a flavorful meal without breaking the bank. Located on Independence Square near the Truman Library, Up Dog offers a lively atmosphere where locals and tourists alike can enjoy a perfect hot dog or burger in a fun, welcoming environment.
