DogSlinger — Restaurant in Lincoln Charter Township

Frankly, DogSlinger Offers Winning Wieners Upon entering, we were greeted with giant artsy photos of each type of dog on the menu, and our mouths immediately began to water. The wall of photos made ordering easy since we could see each type of hot dog. Conversely, it made it more difficult to order because there were so many unique dogs and sausages that we wanted to try. Per usual, we did some splitsies. We started off with the Seattle Dog, which found the Vienna all-beef hot dog nestled in a cream cheese laden brioche bun and topped with freshly cut and grilled onions and peppers. The warmth of the hot dog caused the cream cheese to soften and melt into the bun. The saltiness of the dog was nicely accentuated by the mild, sweet, and tangy hints of cream cheese. I said "Yeehaw," when I bit into the Cowboy Dog, which was wrapped in bacon, topped with cheese sauce, BBQ sauce, and some house-made crispy onion strips...oh, and then more chunks of bacon! The hickory smoke flavor of the bacon and the sweetness of the BBQ were well balanced. You'd better saddle up before trying to rustle this beast. I never thought one hot dog could fill me up, but this was one big meaty dog! The Termintater (not a typo) is DogSlinger's version of a loaded baked potato. Somewhere near the bottom of this creation was a hot dog suffocated by a myriad of tater tots and meat chili. Nacho cheese sauce, sour cream and their house-made Slinger Sauce was drizzled over the heap before it was garnished with fresh-sliced scallions. In football, we call this "piling on!" Of course, we couldn't leave without having the traditional Chicago Dog. It's hard to beat this classic when it's made with premium ingredients. A true Chicago dog must start with an authentic Vienna Beef brand all-beef frank in a steamed poppy-seed bun and topped with neon green sweet relish, chopped onion, yellow mustard, tomato slices, a kosher spear, pickled peppers known as "sport peppers" and a dash of celery salt. Do not embarrass yourself by asking for ketchup on it. Actually, they will make it for you that way, but they may...

After growing up in Detroit and eating tons of Polish sausage and really good quality Delicatessen hot dogs I was a little disappointed in the quality of these. Other than that it's a great little place. I would suggest upgrading hot dogs to koegel Vienna's or even better Dearborn franks which are served at all the favorite Coney shops in the Detroit area. Also upgrading the polish sausage to dearborn keilbasa or better yet garlic Koilbasa from Costco is excellent. I guarantee you once you try these you will make the change . The sausage and hot dog I had at this place reminded me of what you would buy at a Speedway nothing...

If the name doesn't already suggest, this place is creative, fun, and the food is funking amazing. The menu can be overwhelming for an indecisive individual, but no matter- I asked what the cooks recommended (Josh and Nate; they're just as great as Gordon Ramsay... minus the swearing!) and was not disappointed one bit. My Termintater hot dog was a champion of comfort food and I am already craving another one. This cozy establishment has exemplary food, atmosphere, and customer service and deserves more recognition.
