Cheffinis Hot Dogs

Love this place! Your food will take a few minutes. So much yum! We had the pork belly hot dogs and they were great. We also had the crunchy dog, wish we had ordered two of those instead of splitting. Small inside but tables out on the deck with the great Container Park for the kids. I vacillate between ⁴⁄₅ stars, price maybe a touch high for some items.

Great service. Great menu. I love the salchipapa? I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called. Not a hotdog fan but love this little joint

This place looks busy, so my friend and I decided to order a cheffines hot dog. it was the worst hot dog ever. The bun, hot dog and cheese were cold. The feeling of cold cheese texture on top of my cold bun is horrible. The wait to prepare this hot dog was 10 mins. I only ate ¼ of the hot dog and toss the rest in the trash. I’ve could of done a better frank hot dog at home.

Great dogs! Tons of toppings, some of which take away from the dog itself, but with a knife and fork, you can pick the toppings in the order you want them.

Cheffinis is the stoner’s answer to the Hot Dog.
Located in Downtown Container Park, attached to the Black Cup Coffee shop. This tube steak eatery provides a different style of dog with available toppings like chorizo bits, pineapple sauce, chimichurri, crushed potato and chipotle guava. Now of course this isn’t all on one dog, but a taste of the difference they offer.
I ordered the «Grandfather» which is ridiculous. A grilled frank and pork belly, red bell peppers, caramelized onions, crushed potato chips, spicy mayo, basil aioli, pickle mango, topped with a fried quail egg. This was amazing, I loved the pork belly paired with a runny quail egg and the crunch from the potato chips was also nice touch. This was stacked with toppings and I do suggest trying to eat this classic way for at least for one bite, but then grab the fork and knife because it gets messy.
The other dog I tried was the «Classic Cheffinis» with, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, mozzarella, crushed potato chips, pineapple sauce, mustard, mayo and ketchup. A classic dog, but on steroids, there’s no way really to eat this with your hands, there’s just too many toppings, but they all taste great together. I really enjoyed the Pineapple sauce with the jalapenos and the fresh tomatoes.
The one thing I didn’t enjoy was the mozzarella, I usually love mozzarella on everything, but the cheese was cold and not close to being «melty» which would have been much better. Cold cheese and hot food, not a great mix.
Good dogs and great area for seating and people watching. Also, the sweet potato fries and fry sauce are the business!

Had the Classic Cheffini Hot Dog yesterday and I wasn’t a big fan… it was… well, Meh. The frank was good, but the toppings did not amplify the dog itself. Mozzarella did not add much to the dog, neither was the crushed potato chips. I sure didn’t taste the different texture as described by what this Classic Cheffini supposed to be. The pineapple sauce was blah.
Overall, I’d rather eat a chili cheese dog from Sonic.

When my husband told me he had a craving for hot dogs for lunch, I was not excited. We were at the Container District in downtown Vegas, and stumbled across Cheffini’s Hot Dogs. He was so excited to get his wish! Well I am a convert now, their hot dogs are amazing! We had «The Mexican» and the «Moshi Moshi». The Mexican had large slices of fresh avocado on top, and the Moshi had seaweed and was spicy! We also were excited that they had Lagunitas beer on tap! A must try!

I come here primarily for the $ 5 draft beer. The hot dogs are tasty and the staff is moderately pleasant. This isn’t luxury food, but it satisfies cheap eats at container park. You can’t take your beer outside of the park and there’s no longer seating inside of the establishment. My only complaint is sometimes the draft baris poured in a way that creates extra foam.

This little hot dog cart is delicious!!! Propped across from Common Wealth!
Got a hot dog with everything expect for onions. It includes jalapeños and pineapple sauce! Who would’ve thought that would be good on a hot dog? I didn’t. Now I’m a believer! Hahaha delicious!!!

As I was walking down Freemont Street I came across this joint. I kinda looked in and the guy making the hot dogs was super cool, so I thought I’d grab two to go and take back to my room. I have no idea what kind of hot dog I ordered, I just said I want what she got since it looked so good. It was kinda pricy for what you got, but it was OK. I tipped the guy $ 20 just because he was working so hard and still having a great time. Next time I’ll actually look at a menu. :-)

It’s the smallest hotdog I ever had
I was there at 11:00 pm, tried to order fries with my hotdog, the girl at the register told me that I can order hotdog only but not fries because they are closing in 1 hr!!!

I would’ve never known about this little hot dog cart if my friend never told me about it. After a night of drinking, we got hungry, and she suggested this little hot dog stand. And guess what? We went to it.
This little cart is located right in front of the Beat Coffee Shop, suite 520 on Fremont St. It turns out that the owner has been doing this for about 4 years now and even has his own brick n mortar in Container Park, which is located on 707 Fremont St. so don’t get confused! This is the little cart on the street! He typically opens shop at around 11 pm I believe — probably after the coffee shop is closed.
His hot dogs are $ 4 with a variety of toppings that include: mozzarella cheese, ketchup, mustard, jalapenos, potato chips, pineapple sauce, mayo, and tomatoes!
Let me tell you, the flavors and the different textures were really amazing! Or maybe it’s because we were hungry after drinking and the alcohol makes it even more delicious? Who knows!
But definitely worth a try after drinking on Fremont St!

Experience: Brought my nephews to play in the park and we decided to get hot dogs for dinner (they are super picky!!).
Facility: VERY small spot inside container park. They do very well though, because they always have a line. Be prepared to wait to order and then wait again for your food to be cooked. They do have a few seats inside on the AC, but a lot more outside on the deck if you don’t mind the heat in the day, but at night it’s great outside. If you have kids, they have a giant unique playground in the container park that is free. Plus there are so many unique shops to visit afterwards.
Service: yikes… my friend got the food while I saved the table so I’m not sure.
Food: I liked the food. I had the fries with hot dogs on it and fry sauce aka Salcipapas. It was sooo good and the portion was huge!!!
Not realizing how big it would be. I ordered some empanadas too. They were good, especially with the Green sauce!!!
The kids had hot dogs, fries and grilled cheese. Musta been decent, they ate it all.
Overall: I would come back for sure. Good food, just terrible long wait.

After all the glowing reviews I figured this hot dog joint was going to be my new favorite place. I had a bacon wrapped hot dog and the bun and bacon were both hard. How in the heck can a hot dog alone with no drink or side cost over $ 8? I could see if it were a footlong hot dog but this was just an average size hot dog. The girls working were nice but I have definitely experienced better hot dogs other places for far less in price and much better in taste.

Here’s what great service means: came here to get their Grand Father Hot Dog. After paying and seating outside the lady working there came back to me and apologized for not having pork belly at the time (part of that hotdog). She asked if she could bring me some fries to compensate and asked me to come back later and she would give me on top of that ANOTHER Grand Father Hot Dog at no cost. After that she apologizes again. Wow!!! Hard to find service like this these days. Came back and to compensate even further they put the star pork belly on it!!! Will come back for sure. Loyal customer for life :)
BTW… Not only service their hot dogs are amazing!!!

While walking around downtown, I decided to grab a hot dog from here for hubby and I to share. After placing my order I was told it would be just a few minutes. I ended up waiting about 15 minutes for just 1 hot dog because 2 employees were making food for themselves first.
El Mexicano ($ 6.99) — A bacon wrapped hot dog with avocado, tomato, onion, cherry pepper relish, green sauce, chipotle guava and garlic aioli. This hot dog just had way too much going on for me. Everything on it sounded good, but it didn’t work all together. The bacon that was wrapped around the dog was very hard and dry. All I tasted once I was able to chew through the bacon was onions and plain mayo. Apparently sides of sauce are .25 cents each and after looking at my receipt I noticed that I was charged .50 cents for 2 sides of extra sauce. I didn’t even ask for anything extra I just wanted the hot dog I ordered. Like the bacon, the bun was hard. My total with tax was $ 8.10 and that’s too much for just one hot dog that didn’t even taste good.

Container Park on Fremont Street is a great place to hang out with the family or friends one afternoon. Cheffini’s Hotdogs looked promising. They offer beef, turkey and vegan hotdogs with a great variety of toppings. The dogs and fries were very good.
The staff at the register was beyond rude. If you’re that unhappy about your job or don’t like working with the public, then go find another job.

Four stars for flavor, two stars for service, averaging to three but they have the potential to improve.
CLASSIC CHEFFINIS: Grilled frank, onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, mozzarella, crushed potato chips, pineapple sauce, mustard, mayo and ketchup. $ 6 for a gigantic dog overflowing with toppings that didn’t sound like they’d work, but somehow harmonized. Didn’t expect to like the pineapple sauce, but I did.
MOSHI MOSHI: Grilled frank, caramelized onions, seaweed, jalapeño, wine sauce, spicy mayo. I love a good Japanese dog, this one was simple. Asked for it sans jalapenos and received a rather sad-​looking dog with very few onions, but flavor was good. $ 7 price tag seems appropriate for the area and toppings.
Now for the service. Walked in to one person in line waiting for a drink refill. Through the kitchen window we could see the cook hard at work, but the cashier was nowhere to be found for a solid five minutes and the cook never acknowledged anyone waiting as the line grew to five more people.
Eventually the cashier popped up and started handling the customers, but she seemed overwhelmed and flustered, forgetting to box takeout orders and other minor oversights.

After an evening of happy hour libations, a friend and I decided to walk the streets of Fremont, in hopes of finding a place to eat at. After our first attempt at Le Thai and discovering they were closed, we turned around near The Beat and discovered this gem of a stand.
For $ 3, you get a Cheffinis dog and the opportunity to customize your dog from a list of 5 toppings and 5 dressings. For my visit, I got chopped tomatoes, chopped red onions, potato chips, ketchup and mayonnaise. Starting with the ketchup/​mayo combo, it brought a sweet/​salty and creamy element. The onions and tomatoes added that refreshing note to the dog but the chips were the kicker. The potato chips is definitely the star of the show. That salty-​crunchy element brings the dog to life! You definitely must try it!
I heard the stand is available from Wednesday to Saturday, but I could be wrong. Hours of operation say it closes at 3:00am but it’s actually once he runs out of dogs, so get there quickly. If you’re looking to break up your evening full of drinks, or looking for a post meal, check this place out. It’s a small stand, yet not very hard to miss!

Hm, guess I’m the only one who just wasn’t blown away by this place…
I’ve had Cheffinis bookmarked for quite a while and after walking by where it’s supposed to be at about 11:30, I was pretty disappointed to see they were nowhere to be found. So, we decided to head over to Wayfarer and grab a drink. Luckily, he pulled the cart out not to long after that and we were down there faster than you can say «hot dog». Ok, maybe not, but we ran out of that bar quick haha.
Thanks to Mark for reading all the reviews beforehand, he knew to order one with everything underneath the dog itself. That’s definitely the best way to go about it if you’re ordering everything or a lot of toppings. It keeps everything from falling off the top and you can get nice balanced bite… from what I hear. For whatever reason, I got a super dry bun that crumbled and fell apart making me feed the ground anyway.
Now, I’m usually not a fan of boiled dogs and I believe that’s what these are. The flavor is decent but it has that watery feel to it. They are pretty good size dogs though which is appreciated. Who likes a tiny dog in a giant bun?
The topping selection is pretty extensive with everything from the standard ketchup, mustard and onions to some unusual stuff like potato chips, mozzarella cheese and a pineapple sauce. With it loaded up, the flavor is surprisingly good. Even though mine was falling apart a bit, I was able to see how you can get spicy, sweet, salty and even crunchy all in one bite.
Was it the best hot dog I’ve ever had? No, but I bet when you’re about to pass out from hours of alcohol abuse, they taste amazing! I won’t go out of my way to come back but next time I’m downtown, I’ll definitely grab one and bring cash to save a $ 1 on the credit card fee!
