Tubby Dog

Since opening in 2005, Tubby Dog has been a neighbourhood comfort food staple. The diner-esque joint continues to dish up a range of signature hot dogs (each with their own surprising topping) all priced at under $10. Keep it classic with the eatery’s Tubby Dog, a loaded hot dog filled with homemade chili, bacon, cheese, onions, and mustard. For something a little more unconventional dig into the PBJ, a dog smothered in PB & J and topped with Captain Crunch cereal.

Tuck into flavourful dishes like Beef Masman Curry, Green Curry with chicken, Moo Moo Lemon (BBQ pork shoulder topped with shallots, lemongrass, lime chili dressing, mine, and rice crumbs), and more.
