Eclectic menu mainly featuring hot dogs, but some real variety. Service is quick and efficient as you would like. They graduated from a food truck to brick and mortar but great atmosphere with ample indoor and outdoor seating. I had the bratwurst with some of the best sour kraut I've ever tasted. Very authentic like my grandmother used to make. Not your typical kraut.

I love this place! So good and creative. I love the chili cheese weenie & the slaw weenie. This option just popped up & reminded me that I haven't been in a while & now i'm craving it! Only downside is their hours so it only makes it a weekend option for me.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere in this place. The staff was super fun. The Corndog was crispy on the outside. I think it was the perfect amount of breading and it was cooked all the way through. The hotdog on the inside had great flavor and texture. The burnt end sausage with cole slaw was fabulous. There was a perfect combination of crunch and creaminess. There are also a great assortment of weenie gifts to buy.

I love hot dogs and this one was very good! It might have been a little too much pimento cheese but overall the taste was good!

When I walked in I adored the ambiance inside with all the weenie themed signs, sculptures and furniture. It was wonderful and it felt like a nice place to hang out with friends. I remember when it was only a food truck! The service was fast and the weenies were good. If you want to eat hotdogs, this is the place.

Really good hot dogs, the Eggs Benedict dog is very unique and the egg was cooked perfectly. The chili cheese dog is good but the chili needs more spices. The buns are good and buttery which goes great with the hot dogs! Service was great. Plenty of seats.

I dream of weenie is a popular and quirky hot dog joint located in the five points neighborhood of nashville Tennessee. My buddy and I was in town visiting nashville and had the five points neighborhood circled on our to do list because of the big public art scene and this place. Place is popular because of the obviously humorous name and having pretty good hot dogs. Some might even say a hot dog you dream about? Anyways we stopped in about lunch time on a late Saturday morning. The establishment is in a food truck trailer type setup and has a grassy area with some picnic tables. The exterior is creatively and vibrantly decorated as one might expect for a place with a quirky and fun name. We walk to the window and make our order. I personally went with the chilli cheese dog which is a classic hot dog and always a must order for me. My buddy went with a Sauerkraut dog and a another dog that featured Jalepenos on it. Like most food truck/stand type setups they sold can cokes and bags of chips as well. Our food was prepared and came out very quickly. The place was pretty crowded and they kept the line moving. Place seemed to pretty popular with bachelorette parties (was like 2 of them that rolled up on a Saturday late morning while we was there). I'm sure it's a fun photo op next to the "I dream of weenie" sign. Not gonna lie as you can tell from the yelp photos I took the photo opportunity myself. I have a wife and five daughters who will enjoy that pic for years to come. Moving on I enjoyed my chili cheese dog. The hot dogs were actually bigger than I anticipated. Seems like most specialty hot dog joints skimp on hot dog size and just load up on toppings. However this place had a nice mix of both. The chili and cheese both had nice flavor and it made for an enjoyable and filling quick lunch. My buddy appeared to enjoy his hot dogs as well. Not the best we've had but still pretty good. Overall a very fun and quirky place with a cool and nice vibe to it. One of those places you may visit for the gags or laughs and you stay and come back for the atmosphere and food.
