Conrad’s Hot Dog Company — Restaurant in Idaho Springs

Wow, these should be called microdogs. Maybe add a full dog for once. Highly overrated, average tasting food. Customers should avoid and frankly boycott this place. Staff and service were okay.

NEW EDIT : wrote after reading owner’s standard comment. I hope more people spend the $20++ to understand the scam these guys are running for a year. There are hardworking taco food trucks all over CO who provide better food a than this place. Maybe the owners need a short trip to a couple of hot dog places to understand what it tastes like and take customer criticism constructively. But again, that’s what successful businesspeople ought to do.

And Yes, charging for substandard food in the name of useless pride will always be ‘entitlement, and who cares because there’ll be a ‘certain’ group of people to support it. Food is food, and it needs to taste good, everything else is auxiliary. Hope this place shuts down soon and the staff finds better...

I am a native to the south side of Chicago so I grew up with all the little mom and pop hot dog stands. I love the fact that we have a place like this out in Colorado. We ordered a lot of food for six and everything was great. Hot dog was done correctly! You won't believe how many places put way too much relish on them. Conrad's had the perfect balance. Big winner. The Italian beef portion was generous, many other places don't give you as much. The beef was tender and flavorful, and they dipped it nicely without the bread falling apart. The Polish was fantastic, although I would have preferred it had just regular mustard been on it, but that's just my personal preference. My kids all loved the chili dogs, I got a taste of them and I agree. Next time I'm in town I'm going back again. One thing I would love as a hot dog option is if I could get cucumber on it as that's traditional on...

I am originally from the Chicago area, and I helped my Dad run a hot dog stand in our local community for 9 years. Because of this, I have eaten an estimated 1,700 hot dogs in my lifetime, and I consider myself a hot dog connoisseur--of Chicago dogs specifically. I am thrilled to tell you that Conrad's Hot Dog Company does not disappoint!!!

My husband and I had lunch here two days in a row while spending our anniversary weekend in Idaho Springs, and we were so impressed--not only by the quality of food, but also by the kind hospitality of the owners, Jennifer and Sean. Their place is also the cleanest restaurant I have ever experienced (besides my dad's, of course!).

My husband and I were raving about this place so much, that we have already planned a trip back to Idaho Springs for my Dad's birthday so he can enjoy these authentic and delicious Chicago hot dogs with us. See you...
