I recently visited "I Dream of Weenie," a charming hot dog stand in Nashville, and sampled their daily special, the Pizza Dog. This inventive creation featured a hot dog smothered in marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese. The combination was surprisingly delightful, offering a fusion of classic pizza flavors with the satisfying bite of a hot dog.
I also tried the Chili Slaw Weenie, a concoction with mustard, slaw, and chili. While not my personal favorite due to a preference for traditional chili dogs with cheese, it provided a decent alternative for those seeking a different flavor profile.
The stand offers Ms. Vickie's Jalapeno Chips, a spicy and crispy side that complemented the hot dogs well. I opted to enjoy my meal outside in the adjacent lot, taking advantage of the picnic tables. The outdoor area proved to be a highlight, creating a delightful atmosphere, especially on a pleasant day.
"I Dream of Weenie" offers a unique twist on classic hot dogs, and the inviting outdoor space adds to the overall experience. It's a great spot for those looking to savor unconventional hot dog creations in a...
Read moreI Dream of Weenie is such a fun and unique spot in Nashville! My wife and I stopped by while exploring the area, and we were both really impressed. We each ordered hot dogs, and they were awesome — full of flavor and cooked just right. They have a great variety of toppings, so there’s something for everyone. We also tried the fried green tomatoes, and they were easily some of the best we’ve ever had — crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly.
The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about what they do and want you to have a good experience. They helped us decide what to order and made us feel right at home. It’s the kind of place that makes you smile as soon as you walk up.
The setup is also super cute — it’s a little retro-looking food truck-style spot with outdoor seating that adds to the charm. It’s casual, fun, and full of personality.
If you’re in Nashville and want something quick, delicious, and different from the usual, I Dream of Weenie is a must-visit. We’re already planning to come back next time...
Read moreAn East Nashville staple. There are many hotdog centric restaurants in Nashville but this one is hands down the one I believe to be the best. They also might be one of the oldest. Formerly located in a van (which you can still see out in front)the new brick and mortar is an excellent location that offers a fun quirky hangout for friends and family. Despite the hot dog focus my can't miss dish is the hashbrown casserole! Delicious toasted potato savory cheesy and great texture. You also can't miss the mac and cheese balls. Hotdog wise I really loved the Reuben and if you are really hungry the Mac and cheese dog is sloppy goodness. For dessert they have a nice selection of Mike's ice cream or delicious creamy homemade milk shakes. The staff have all been with Weenie for the long haul and really have a passion for this place that comes through in the food and every interaction. For grab and go sit down or just a snack you really need to make sure you stop in and support our favorite 5...
