"Welcome Backhoes" reads the sign to the terrace! Best Chicago style hot dogs I've had in PDX and the use Vienna Beef hot dogs! We'll be back for sure.

I had the red hot spicy sausage and it was good. It was definitely one of the hotter hot dogs I’ve had, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The only thing I would change would be to use a better quality hot dogs bun. The crinkle cut fries were pretty standard and I enjoyed the mozzarella sticks. It’s a small space with a nice atmosphere and lots of cool music posters. I would recommend this place to hot dog lovers.

Average of four and a half stars? Did we go to the same bar? Lame bar, phoned in food, grumpy employee. A $9.25 hot dog with a couple toppings is highway robbery. Especially when we got hit with the Kirkland bun, Kirkland dog, and far from “caramelized” onions. $10 mozzarella sticks. Cheaper at Quarter World, essentially the same. The $5 bloody marry was pretty good and the only saving grace. Outside was alright looking, nothing either way. The server/bartender (punk outfit, piercings) seemed bothered by our presence. Sorry I came to your bar brother, trust me I won’t come again.

A Portland institution. Been going here for 20+ years back when it was an actual shack where we'd stop for a late-night snack before a stumble home. The quality is still top notch with a great variety of different dogs on the menu. There's always good music playing and their brick-and-mortar location has a spacious patio out back .

Dicey spot and I love it. Nice little (but kinda large) patio in the back with ping pong and some other games. The wife enjoyed her cocktail and the tap was cold and fresh. Food was pretty decent. The fry sauce has A LOT of horseradish and that caught us off guard. The dogs were pretty tasty.
