Get your red hots – right here in Pensacola
Wieners. Frankfurters. Red hots. Coneys. Whether you like your hot dogs traditional style with onions and mustard, or maybe with more daring toppings like macaroni and cheese and pineapple, Pensacola has a hot dog for you.
Whatever you call them, there is a certain satisfaction in picking up a soft white bun, biting into the crisp casing, and feeling the warm burst of savory juices in your mouth. Whether a hot dog is best with just mustard and relish, or if you want to pile it high with toppings like chili, pineapple, macaroni and cheese or even KETCHUP – well, that’s up to your particular taste.
In Pensacola, there are several options for hot dog lovers – from restaurants where the domestic sausage takes center stage to eateries where the hot dog lover can get his fix while the rest of his party dines on less interesting fare.
Here are some of the best hot dog options available in the Pensacola area:
The Dog House
Sammy Barker's American Street Food
At Sammy Barker’s American Street Food, inspiration for the eatery’s line of “coneys” comes from the original hot dog destination, Coney Island, New York.
“The Original Coney and Memphis Dog are our top two selling hot dogs,” said owner Joel Jacobs. “The Original Coney is topped with our house-made Coney sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, chopped onion, spicy brown mustard and celery salt. The Memphis Dog is a deep-fried, bacon-wrapped hot dog with sharp cheddar cheese, house made Memphis BBQ sauce, pickles, Cole slaw and green onion.”
Sammy Barker’s American Street Food also offers a vegan hot dog that can be substituted in place of a meat dog. Besides the line of hot dogs, its “street food” offerings include tacos, burgers and shakes.
Perdido Key Sports Bar
If you’re cruising around the Perdido area and find yourself craving a hot dog, pull into the Perdido Key Sports Bar. The menu there includes one of the most trusted names in all of wienerdom. The Nathan’s Hot Dog Sliders plate comes with two all-beef Nathan’s wieners. You can get them with cheese and/or chili if you’re feeling adventurous.
According to the restaurant’s website, hot dogs were always part of the vision for the eatery. It also offers hot wings, fried seafood baskets, seafood tacos and more.
New Yorker Deli and Pizzeria
With a name that includes the term “New Yorker” this eatery pretty much HAS to have a dependable hot dog dish on its menu, and it doesn’t disappoint. The Jumbo Kosher Dog comes plain, with kraut or with chili and cheese.
But New Yorker Deli and Pizzeria’s menu is very diverse, ranging from traditional cold sandwiches like the club to spaghetti plates and other pasta dishes, as well as a selection of authentic New York pizzas, calzones and strombolis.
