We asked our readers where to get the best hot dogs in Vancouver

You know what they say, suns out, buns out. Which is obviously about hot dog buns… right?

Nothing screams hot dogs like warm weather and blue skies, and Vancouver is home to plenty of great restaurants and bars serving up their take on a glizzy. So many, in fact, that it can be hard to choose where to grab the iconic handheld.

That’s why we took to Instagram to ask our readers who they think serves the best hot dogs in Vancouver, and we got plenty of answers.

From breweries serving up gourmet hot dogs to dogs served in focaccia, these are the best hot dogs in Vancouver, according to our readers.

Main Street Brewing

The team at Main Street Brewing have recently started offering some kick-ass hot dogs courtesy of Brathause. From The Felix (beer bratwurst sausage with sauerkraut, pickles, chives and horseradish dijon mustard) to The Pete (gaucho chorizo sausage with gouda, mozzarella & cheddar cheese crust with onions and bell peppers), there are plenty of drool-worthy options to indulge in.

Address: 261 E. 7th Ave., Vancouver

Mimi’s Focaccia

What’s better than some fresh focaccia? Focaccia that has been turned into hot dog buns, that’s what. The team at Mimi’s has been hosting hot dog pop-ups in Vancouver, most recently at the Granville Island Community Viewings. Be sure to follow them on Instagram to see where they’re popping up next.

While this hot dog is not currently available on AMA, we’re hoping that adding it to this list will encourage AMA to bring it back. The Wagyu Glizzy consists of a wagyu hot dog topped with miso caramelized onions, house aioli, and nori served on a house-made sesame milk bun.

Address: 3980 Fraser St., Vancouver

If there were an award for the fanciest glizzy in Vancouver, June might be the winner. Available on its late-night menu from Thursday to Saturday, the June Dog consists of June’s take on a Hawaiian bun, which is steamed to order and brushed with Vancouver Island sea salt, sesame seeds, and butter and a pork and beef sausage. It’s then topped with rotating garnishes to keep things fresh.

Address: 3305 Cambie St., Vancouver

One of the original fancy hot dogs of Vancouver, the OG Caviar Hot Dog from Breeze Bar has a cult following of admirers. This dog is topped with Cheez Whiz and caviar, and served on a bun from Tall Shadow.

Address: 213 Carrall St., Vancouver

Mount Pleasant Vintage and Provisions

In addition to hosting multiple hot dog eating competitions over the years, Mount Pleasant Vintage is serving up its classic OG Snappy Dog in tin lunch boxes, alongside a Beyond Veggie Bratwurst for our veggie friends.

Address: 67 W. 6th Ave, Vancouver

Red Truck Beer Company

Go to Red Truck for the beer, but stay for the hot dogs. Here it’s serving Natha’ns all beef hot dogs with fries in a variety of options, from plain to Chicago Style (musrad, onion, relish, pepper, and tomato), Jalapeno Cheese Dog (cheese, jalapeno, mustard, and mayo), and its iconic Red Truck Dog (carmelized onions, red truck mustard, and Swiss cheese), there are plenty of options to enjoy. Oh, and did we mention you can get all of these as a foot long?

Address: 295 E. 1st Ave., Vancouver

What began as the little cart that could outside the Sutton Place Hotel has turned into a dynasty of Vancouver stops. The Japanese-flavours-meets-tube-of-meat spot is an absolute must-try for any true hot dog lover. You can’t go wrong with the Termiayo, topped with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo, fried onions, and seaweed.

Address: Multiple locations across Metro Vancouver

Duffin’s Donuts

While perhaps best known for its donuts and tortas, Duffin’s also serves a lineup of hot dogs from plain dogs to chili cheese dogs.

Address: 1391 E. 41st Ave., Vancouver

Superflux Beer Company

Something about hot dogs and beer makes so much sense, especially when it’s the type of hot dogs that Superflux is cooking up. Varieties include the Mac Dog (Two Rivers all-natural dry-aged beef dog with cheddar cheese, pickle and onions relish, shredded lettuce, mac sauce, and sesame seeds) and the Steak Frite Dog (Two Rivers all-natural dry-aged beef dog with sauteed oyster mushroom, bearnaise sauce, and crumbled chips).

Address: 505 Clark Dr., Vancouver

La Belle Patate

While perhaps best known for its poutine, don’t sleep on the Steamie Dog from La Belle Patate. This handheld is topped with mustard, relish, onions, and coleslaw.

Address: 1215 Davie St., Vancouver

Costco

At $1.50, there’s no denying the allure of a Costco hot dog and drink. However, you’ll need a membership now to get your hands on these dogs.

Honourable Mention: Lully’s Dog

While not in Vancouver, there’s no denying that Lully’s Dog knows how to serve one heck of a hot dog (even celebrity Bethenny Frankel said it was the best hot dog she’s ever had in her life). Just make sure you don’t ask for ketchup when you visit.

Address: 32533 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford
