Positives: Great Quality Dogs and Charming AmbianceAreas For Growth: Other Ingredient Quality, Meal Price, and Brand AwarenessThis place has the makings of a hole in the wall spot I would be proud to show to visitors. Unlike others, I think Dog On It is actually easy enough to find; there is a cheerful, striped awning and a couple of tables with stools. There is no inside beyond the kitchen.A two for one meal deal on Groupon ($11 instead of $23) brought us here for a mid-week lunch. We ordered ahead and were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrived to pick up at the 18 minute mark and our meals were ready for us. The only drinks available were a bottle of water, Coke, and Diet Coke. A meal is a drink, fries, and the hotdog. Oddly, I think the hot dogs are worth their price, but the combos are really not a deal. I would buy my drink elsewhere.I ordered the Mac Dog and my partner ordered the Philly Dog. The Macaroni and Cheese on the Mac Dog was tasty and they allowed me to substitute the Bacon (I'm just not a fan) for Grilled Onions. We both loved the hotdogs and thought they were incredible quality for what is essentially street food. Our biggest issue was the buns. They were smaller than the actual fixings really required and their spongy consistency did not really hold up to the eating process. They were too soft and weak. These are the same hot dog buns you would buy on a trip to Walmart.The fries had great seasonings/salt, but something about them makes that seasoning just fall off. They have the potential to be great if that is fixed. Overall would return and love the character it brings to The Grove neighborhood.

Fresh and flavorful. The skin on the dog made a popping sound when bitten. As it should be!

The fires were hard and fried to many times. The hot dog had ok flavor but the fritos were moist. The cheese and chili reminded me of canned cooking.

They just do whatever, open whenever, and make whatever, regardless of what you order. It’s always blamed on “management” but I’ve only ever seen the same two people working over the last year. If you don’t care and just want some after bar food, it’s good enough, but they couldn’t care less, and you’re really better off just going home and slamming a piece of bread. It will taste the same as whatever they think they’re making.

The fries had a great crisp to them, even under nacho cheese and jalapeños. I also enjoyed the windy city dog. I definitely want to go back to try some of their other offerings. It's just a walk up window with a couple tables, so it's easy to miss. But well worth looking for because this is one of the few places in St Louis to get a good hot dog!Parking: There were open metered spots just across the street and free parking on both sides of the street starting half a block down.

I'm not a hotdog person but wanting to support local small business, I took my Mom when she visited . She wanted the frito dog but it was near closing so out of chili . She ended up with the red hot riblet dog , fries and onion rings . She said everything was well done and had a hog quality dog which is key . I was pleased to see they do have vegan abd chicken dogs so I may be back to give them a try Made to order so it takes about 15 min which is worth it for fresh food

A little pricey but it was worth treating myself to the STL dog. The 1 hot dog filled me up. So very tasty.

Disappointed out of Hula dog but our fault for not coming earlier. My wife got the cookout instead and now favorite! I got the Chicago dog and felt like I was in Chicago! Will be back for the Hula dog!
A hole in the wall, but an amazing hole in the wall! Service was great. The wait for our food was around 10 minutes for two dogs and fries & there's a couple tables along the sidewalk to sit while you wait. Food was DELICIOUS. We ordered the Philly dog, riplet dog, fries & the BBQ ranch fries. They deserve all the stars!

The red hot riplet dog is amazingly good. I'll be back for it I crave it again and again. I give this place four stars. Your wait time is about 5 minutes. The grape soda is good to but it's in a can its not a fountain drink.

Wish they would of had fries when I was there. Dogs were pretty good, but nothing too special. Love that it's open so late though! I wish more places would stay open late.

They weren't open when their hours were listed they informed us they wouldnt be open so we Waited 30 minutes and they then informed us they were only serving 2 kinds of hot dogs. Could've used that info before we Waited.
