Tasty Dawg

Giving dirty Frank's a run for their money...
Delicious dogs on pretzel buns and yummy sides, cool atmosphere, downtown city feels, and the friendliest staff!
Will definitely be back soon!

Highly recommend checking places out. I was downtown for work and needed lunch. Used Yelp to determine a place to try that was walking distance.

Ordered a Chicago Dog with a fountain drink. The dog was fully loaded and hit the spot! It was fully eaten less than 5 mins because I just couldn't put it down. Very savory with lots of good flavors and spice.

Beyond dogs, I realized they also sold sandwiches and mac & cheese bowls. I look forward to trying this next time.

Lastly, when you stop by, be sure to get a punch card. They're running a promotion- the most punches, the more likely to get something free!

The service was top tier. They were EXTREMELY nice and engaging with everyone that came into the restaurant, whether they were ordering food or not. I really appreciated how engaging the team was.

Check this place out!

We stopped by to pick up lunch and was not disappointed. We tried the Philly Dawg and South of the Border which were both so delicious and filling. I placed an order for pickup and it was ready in about 10 minutes. The staff was friendly and greeted me right when I walked in. There are also plenty of tables in the store for dine in.

Fun and delicious food, incredible service - my server was super friendly! 10/10 would recommend

I got a vegan dog on the Bavarian Pretzel bun. When I walked in, there were menus galore, it was overwhelming! As soon as I heard "bavarian pretzel" I went on autopilot. (I have a pretzel problem.)
Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty certain I heard the pretzel bun was vegan and the hot dog was a beyond meat, something or other. I asked for classic mustard, ordered a side of potatoes to go and was on my way. As plain as it sounds, it was so good it didn't last long!

The restaurant is in a good location, is quite clean, and has plenty of seating. If you stay, they also offer scooped ice cream, and it looked delightful.

ThoughI like simple, next time I'm in the area, I want to try the Jane Doe Dawg... lettuce, crushed fritos, jalapeños, tomatoes, nacho cheese on the beloved bavarian pretzel bun. (I like plain AND savory foods, no discrimination here!)

Overall 4.5. The owner was very kind and helpful. Yes prices are a little high per hot dog. It is also extremely difficult to find a place to eat lunch in downtown Columbus. The city desperately needs to open up more restaurants or at least extend the hours. Too many places closed. Tasty Dawg was open and has more than enough seating available. The island bbq and Philly were very palatable. The hot dog itself is not tiny, good size. The pretzel bun goes well with the hot dog on both kinds. Ingredients were all fresh.

Between the two of we got the Chicago Dawg, Sweet Teddys, and a Hawaiian. Two had pretzel buns and 1 had original bun with seeds. They were soft and not too hard to eat. All were messy but delicious! Highly recommended the Hawaiian if you like bbq. The loaded tots were ok. Soft, not crunchy with chili and lots of mustard. I wouldn't get the tots again but someone may like it. They also have Perry's ice cream. It was good. Yelp has a coupon if you check in but the new owner wasn't aware of it but still honored it. The biggest downside was the bathroom - it stunk to high heaven like pee.

Absolutely amazing!! Great service !! There were sooo many different choices!!! The food was quick and absolutely delicious! The place was decked out in awesome colors! We had the best time!!

Easily accessible and cheap lunch is always a win downtown! Love grabbing takeout from here as they're so sweet and fast!

Nice storefront on High Street, with plenty of light and fresh air circulating through and friendly customer service is how I would describe Tasty Dawg downtown. The spicy dawg I got was pretty big, pleasing to the palate, and plenty filling with a side of baked beans to chase it all down. Though I think normally $12 would be pricey for one hot dog, I totally understand why that would be the price point in a place that gets spotty customer attendance at best (downtown is still mostly dead on weekends).

I'll definitely be back!
