Great Hawaiian Hot Dog

A nice hot dog stand in the heart of Waikiki, it’s a bit pricy $ 7, just for a hot dog but I guess it’s worth when you come out of the bars hungry.

I’m in love with these hot dogs! Especially after a night out dancing and drinking with the girls, this place is a savior!!! It’s right outside of Mooses McGillycuddy’s. There are a lot of different offerings on the menu and toppings galore. They also got beverages to make it a meal. Everything about the hot dog is yummy, from the bun to the dog. I mean come on, hot dog and bacon wrapped conveniently in the same bite?!? Sign me up right away. And don’t forget the awesome secret *garlic sauce*!!!

It’s a Costco hotdog and bun with bacon and a garlic sauce. It was okay. Would probably have been great if I was drinking.
As the cart sets up next to a bar, there’s a good chance the positive reviewers were drinking too.
Also, the cart doesn’t always set up on schedule. If you’re making a special trip have a plan B.

This stand is awesome! I come here at least every month on one of my drunken nights after leaving Genius lounge right up the road. When you got the drunchies you got them bad and who wouldn’t want a hot dog with all the works… Pfff no one that I would want to be friends with!
Bacon. Yes. Pulled pork. Yes. Onions. Yes. Jalapeños. Yes. Nacho cheese. Yes. Sauerkraut. Yes. Siracha. Yes. Sirloin hot dog cooked to perfection. Yes. Garlic aoli. HELL YES!
Put it all together and just wait for the explosion in your mouth (also be prepared for an explosion later the next day down under LOL). In all seriousness though best place in Waikiki to get your hot dog fix on. The workers have been the same for the past year, and have been outside of Moose’s for as long as I can remember.
Unilocalers! If you’re not too drunk make sure to check in! If you do you’re rewarded with free bacon or a heap of pulled pork on top of your heavenly creation.

Supposed to be open till four on Thursday but the hours are incorrect. No hot dog was served to this customer on that day.

The best hot dog I’ve ever eaten by far!

Late night only. There are so many people just loitering and smoking near this place that the food tastes like ash. If you don’t smoke I wouldn’t recommend it.

Well it was 4am and most food places were closed at this time. Being jetlagged and wanting to grub on something, I looked up this place to grab a delicious hotdog. Now, there’s no denying the hotdog wasn’t amazing, i got the BEAST which consists of hotdog and pulled pork. This review is based on the small encounter and the aftermath that followed.
First, it’s conveniently located in the bar area where drunks can have easy access to a midnight snack after being kicked out. While in line for my hotdog with my gf, someone just left the bar and jumped infront of us to grab a hotdog. I know that the Hotdog handler keeps account of how many people are in the line because just prior he called out 2 people for loitering infront of his cart and saying 7 groups left because of them. We weren’t drunk, so we were well aware of the situation and the cook still served them first. Then, I woke up the next morning after eating the hotdog with an upset stomach and having the runs for the rest of the day.

Oh my… what a great sandwich. I am originally from the Chicago area so I take my hot dogs pretty serious. Wow what great flavor on the sandwich. A hot dog with a brat and bacon topped with pulled pork. This sandwich can’t be beat on this island. My mouth is watering just writing about it!

Hits the spot! Perfect place in the middle of mediocre food mecca Honolulu. Skip the over priced «fancy» places and hit up this cute little hot dog stand outside McGillycudy’s bar. The guy working the stand is beyond sweet and makes wonderful recommendations. GO NOW!

Unilocal brought me here, yay!
i got the beast hotdog with bacon n pulled pork! i mean for the price its perfect. you add on how many condiments and sauces you want! i wished i wouldve ask for less bbq sauce though because it kinda overpowered it a lil.
the guy was very nice! customer service at its best.

That BEAST though!
Yes, I was intoxicated so that’s probably why it tasted good but who cares.
Yes, it’s expensive for a hot dog.
Who can say No to a steak dog with pulled pork and bacon? Don’t know which toppings and sauces to use? Just ask and they can provide suggestions. No mention of cheese on my hot dog but I added it and WOW!
Again, I was intoxicated but it was delicious.

In front of the drinking establishment and the owner is chill as hell.
Used the Unilocal deal and got bacon on my hot dog.
Condiments are all there for you to splash on. (jalapenos, onions, sriracha?, relish and the regular red and yellow).
Didn’t get upset stomach or anything eating this right before bed.
Walking distance to Waikiki and drinking. Always a plus.
Best ‘dirty dog’ I’ve had outside of California.

!WINNER WINNER HOTDOG DINNER!

Asked Chef Mike for beast topping tips. the guys a pro with flavor balance… nailed it. perfect

There isn’t a closing time for this place ! The hot dogs have a spicy kick to them and they are piping hot! They are the best late night snack but it’s a bit pricy for a hot dog.

Awesome hot dog that really hit the spot. Got the beast (pulled pork and bacon) and put almost everything on top. Garlic sauce is very tasty and not overwhelming. Get napkins cause it can get messy. Minus 1 star for hard to find parking. There a lot of taxi in the area and they kind of stare at you when you park in the loading zone but that’s where my husband was waiting for me so oh wells.

Bacon? Check
Garlic sauce? Check
Steak hotdog? Check
Free fresh toppings (onions, sauerkraut, jalapeño, relish)? Double check!
Free slice of bacon OR mound of pulled pork with your Unilocal check in? HOLY MACARONI! YES!
This little stand is located right next to Moose’s, so be prepared to be in line with some patrons who might have had a little too much to drink ;p

I made it a point to stop at this hot dog joint because…
A) I do love hot dogs
B) This was probably the only decent food option opened at this time
Conveniently located across from a biker/​night club.
Next time I’m definitely checking out that club because where this hot dog cart/​vendor was located, you can clearly notice drunk people all around.
This just means one thing to me.
THAT NIGHT MUST HAVE BEEN AMAZING.
The guy/​owner manning the hot dog spot is named Mike I believe.
He’s quite friendly.
But I only came here for one thing… HOT DOGS.
I ordered the steak dog which really didn’t taste like steak BUT with the Unilocal check-​in, YES USE YOUR CHECK-​IN, I scored FREE PULLED PORK as a topping on the dog.
On top of that, I also had the option of adding FRESHLY CHOPPED ONIONS which Mike kept in a portable soda fridge.
Fresh?
YES, because my breath was kicking afterwards.
Thank goodness for Unilocal mints that I always have in pocket.
Delicious?
DUH.
The steak didn’t really come through but the pulled pork definitely did.
Tender, moist, flavorful.
The fresh onions gave it a nice overall acidity.
Price?
$ 6.
Sooooo worth it.
Mike is here until 2am or 4am… I believe it is the latter if I remember correctly.
I will be back Mike perhaps not as sober as I was the first time.
LOL.

This is the Hawaiian equivalent of what we call suicide dogs out here in the Bay Area.
This hot dog stand is the business. It’s open super late for those midnight cravings. Don’t forget to check-​in on Unilocal because you can get free pulled pork or bacon on your hot dog.
We ordered the bacon dog and added the pulled pork for free, then topped it with mustard and jalapeños at the recommendation of the gentlemen working the stand. Soooo good! Just as a snack, one hot dog was big enough for my husband and I to share.
Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

So this dude is the real deal!!! Awesome guy! So nice I can’t even believe it! And the hot dogs are nothing short of UH-​MAZING!!! For real! Garlic sauce is out of this world!!!
