Hot dogs—such a simple food, the perfect blank canvas for lots of delicious toppings and add-ons that transform it from a ballpark treat to a meaty gourmet dish. If you’re craving a plump hot dog with all the fixings, head to these San Francisco neighborhoods. These spots are where you’ll find the best dogs San Francisco has to offer.

Go to a place that specializes in serving delicious gourmet meat, and you know you’re getting a proper hot dog. Rosamunde Sausage Grill in the Lower Haight neighborhood serves all kinds of delicious sausages, from andouille to wild boar. For a hot dog that’s a serious level (or two) up from your typical ballpark hot dog, check out this place, and load yours up with grilled onions, hot peppers, or spicy beef chili. A hot dog paired with a cold beer will really hit the spot.

Mission District

For delicious hot dogs with a Mexican twist, check out La Oaxaquena Bakery & Restaurant in the Mission District. Their specialty is bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Luckily, they’re open until 2 a.m., which means you can satisfy that hot dog craving in the very early morning hours. Following a gluten-free diet? Flying Pig Bistro has lots of options for gluten-free eaters, from hot dog buns to breads to bagels. Top it with sauerkraut, or get yours California-style (with avocado).

For an evening of drinks, friends, and fun, stop by Mikkeller Bar in Downtown San Francisco/Union Square. The bacon-wrapped hot dogs are a crowd-pleaser and a popular choice among regulars. Visiting with a group of friends? Go splitsies on a sausage platter, perfect for sharing with three or four people. If you’re looking to get your drink on as well, Mikkeller also serves up some great beers on tap.

The Castro

If hot dogs don’t sound as pleasing as a corn dog, you’ll need to visit The Castro neighborhood. Hi Tops serves everything from corn dogs to pretzels, and you can dip them in mustard for flavor that really packs a punch. Following a vegetarian diet? That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the corn dog fun. Hi Tops serves a mean veggie corn dog that’s just as delicious, just don’t forget to get the house-made mustard as well. The Castro is also home to Dapper Dog, an eatery that serves specialty hot dogs, including New York-style and Chicago-style dogs. Try out the crowd-pleasing banh mi dog for a really intriguing option you likely won’t find at most hot dog joints.

SoMa

Chicago-style hot dog 

Deli Board is basically heaven for SoMa residents who love sandwiches, but the restaurant also serves a mean hot dog, a move that pleases local baseball fans. The Chicago-style hot dog is topped with a pickle, peppers, relish, onion, and mustard. Or go for the slaw dog, a simpler variety that comes with just coleslaw and mustard.
