Top Dog

I used to go to top dog everytime I go visit friends in cal. Now there is one close to home! The buns are always perfectly toasted and it never takes long to get your food.
The smoked chicken apple is my favorite.

When Top Dog opened in my San Jose neighborhood, I thought I died and went to heaven. I lived off Top Dog when I went to Cal and now I can re-visit my favorite hot dog spot within walking distance! The dogs here are all great, but my favs are the the "Hot" (hot link) and the "Cal" (Calabrese - Italian sausage, slightly spicy). Prices are good and it's all pretty low key. There is a great courtyard where you can eat your dogs. Fun to bring the kids too.

Near the San Jose State University campus at the corner of S. 11th and E. San Carlos Streets, this popular hot dog restaurant is part of the famous Berkeley/Oakland group of TOP DOG restaurants. The concept is simple - serve high-quality hot dogs or sausages with appropriate condiments at a reasonable price.

Located across a shared outside patio dining area from The Naglee Park Garage restaurant, Top Dog is a welcome stop when you are in the mood for a great dog!
