I looked on Yelp for the best place to get a hotdog near my location, and CheeseDawgs came up with a map. I got into a car and drove two miles to the quaint town of Bristol, Pa. Bristol is on the waterfront of the Delaware River, which is attractive; this town has so much history, and the homes go way back in time that line the river. I walked up and down Mill Street looking for the Dawgs joint but never saw a sign. I almost gave up when I saw a place with menus outside on the table. I looked and was in front of a brewery called Naked Brewing. I went inside and saw T-shirts hanging with the word "Cheese Dawgs." Happy, I finally found it and was impressed with the whole feel of the place; it was inviting, and across the room was a small bar with chairs to sit and have a drink or eat. They have about five tables around a small stage with a live band playing songs I knew. I walked to the bar, sat, and looked over their menu, which was quite extensive. I ordered my favorite, a White Russian, and this is what I understood when they said they could not make one: they brew their own beer and make their own wine and only serve alcohol made in the Keystone State, so that's why the bartender did not have Kahlua and the state of Pennsylvania runs the show.? The brewery is located on the lower floor down the stairs. The Dawgs are on the first floor of the building. They Merge the two businesses or become partners, and that's why the name has changed on the outside. The sign does not include Dawgs; inside, their name is not all over the big room. I had fun here; the drink I got was a " Long Island Ice Tea," just one of them, and it was good. The staff, primarily women tending bar, were great fun and knowledgeable about openings and closings of this establishment and, of course, the menu. No kids after the sun goes down. It's for grown-ups. A must try and have fun; They also have a lot of parking in the back. Dawgs is Wheelchair accessible and has spotless restrooms. It's a little pricey but worth it. Cash or card accepted

I'll have to start by saying I've never been a fan of Naked Brewing, but Cheese Dawgs on the other hand is a great hot dog joint. They picked a perfect spot in Bristol Borough that they seemed to have partnered with Naked Brewing on. If you have kids the downstairs area is ok, but with live music I had to take my son upstairs to preserve our hearing! We found parking in the large municipal lot behind the building. Upstairs we found cozier seating at a high top table with service. Downstairs I believe you have to walk up to the bar or just sit at the bar for service. I also don't believe the full beer menu is available downstairs. The menu is full of tempting toppings and styles with your choice of regular/footlong dogs, hot sausage or kielbasa. I had a hot sausage with pepper hash and coleslaw. It had a snappy skin, decent heat and was delicious when paired with the sweet coleslaw and pepper hash. My friend ordered frank and tots and reported it to be delicious and filling. My son had a regular dog and we all shared a big pretzel with beer cheese. I had an IPA named Thank Frank that was about average for a West Coast style IPA and my pal had a couple of their darker offerings that he wasn't impressed with. Our server was nice and gave a great recommendation to add the pepper hash. She wasn't the fastest at coming to check on our beers so we bailed. I had one and she never asked if I wanted another and never refilled our waters. Prices weren't too bad. I would definitely return for some more of the interesting creations on the dawg menu, but the brews are really nothing special. Good solid time here and kid friendly, not so great service or beer.

Yeah. I'll be back. Good beer selection and a good deep fried pound cake ice cream sandwich.

great great hotdogs! they have a great 3 signature dawgs for $10! My favorite was the morning one with egg, bacon and hot dog. It's a great, casual, good conversation place to go to. They have trivia on tuesdays also so I definitely want to go there. You serve yourself and can grab drinks here too.

After hearing about the glazed donut grilled cheese, I just had to try! We swung by for a quick, take-out lunch and this place did not disappoint. The staff was super friendly, it was not a long wait to get our order and within minutes we were sitting riverfront with our sandwiches. The cheese choice was right on point with crispy slices of bacon between a grilled glazed donut ~ it truly was the perfect combination for a cold winter's afternoon. Their menu is extensive and the offerings are wonderful. Very much looking forward to sampling more of what Cheese Dawgs has to offer.

I just saw that their last day (at least at this location) will be March 25, 2023. It is truly a sad moment and sad news Cheese Dawgs is (soon, at least temporarily, it will be "was") a great place to grab a hot dog in Feasterville, Pennsylvania. They had a great selection of hot dogs and the staff was always incredibly friendly. I hope that they can reopen in another location. We need these old-school hot dog joints. Without them, this world would be a sadder place.

Excellent spot to grab a grilled dog or special grilled cheese and soup dunker! I've lived around here a long time and never stopped in...I now have regrets! Great grilled dog on either grilled split top buns or foot long hoagie rolls. Tons of combos to choose from...most wasted on me because I'm a 4 year old when it comes to hot dogs....ketchup and maybe baked beans. So.i went with the new England (Bush's baked beans) and a plain. Of course paired with a Sunkist Orange Soda to complete my nostalgic lunch. I was on the run, but there are tables inside if you picked a messydawg and need to hunch over a table! Good eats!

Great little hole in the wall place that I never even knew existed until a coworker suggested it. They have a lot of creative hotdog creations and you can't go wrong with any of them. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick and cheap place to eat.

I was craving hot dogs today after my son's game, so we decided to check out Cheese Dawgs. Mystery man happened to come across them on a list of the best hot dogs. So of course had to check it out. At first glance it looks sort of a hole in the wall-ish, but that's usually when you know it's going to be good food. There are a couple tables inside, each with about 3 chairs. There are 3 large coolers with a wide assortment of drinks. I had gotten 2 hot dogs for myself and a baked beans on the side. I went with the Dallas chili & cheese & a NY with spicy mustard for my picks, just regular size. All was delicious. I'm not typically into hot dogs esp if they're not Sahlens with Webbers mustard. But these I'll make the exception for this place. The mystery kids got a Mac n cheese and plain hot dog and bacon on side. They loved everything. Ate it all up. That's a big deal! Mystery man enjoyed just as well. The price was so cheap too. I couldn't believe it. We are definitely fans so will be certainly coming back again. It was also very cool how they had local business cards spread around. People all knew each other by name. It was pretty nice to see.
