Not what I expected. OK basic dogs but the Chicago Dog is NOT a Chicago Dog (missing the pepper, neon sweet relish, and poppy seed bun). See the photo…

Meh. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by small type specialty restaurants in other cities such as Denver, but The Dog Pit doesn’t put any extra thought, time, or quality ingredients into their dogs. Straightforward, cheap, boiled hotdogs with little flair.
Not what I expected. OK basic dogs but the Chicago Dog is NOT a Chicago Dog (missing the pepper, neon sweet relish, and poppy seed bun). See the photo of what I got. And the dogs don’t have any ‘snap’. Pass on this one, unless they change their dogs.
Very cheap! Great dogs, and great service! Much, much better than Yesterdog.
Okay, not great dog joint. Small, steamed dogs with okay sauces, onions, pickles. Grab a fork, since the dogs tend to fall apart when you pick them up. Cramped dining area.
Slightly Removed: Grand Rapids Coney Dogs. Dog Pit was the first of the current hot dog joints to dot the immediate downtown area. It’s location at the head of Monroe Center makes it a popular late-night destination for those leaving bars like Flannigan’s and Raggs to Riches who don’t feel like braving the wandering hot dog carts.Their dogs are also on the small to average size, kept in a hot pan until served on a standard bun. Their chili is also a saucy Detroit-style chili, only a little thicker than the consistency of Yesterdog’s. However, it has a significantly different flavor, including some visible pepper, and a noticeable tanginess to it.One touch in constructing their dogs, which I appreciate, is that they pour their Coney sauce over top the cheese, rather than topping the dog off with cheese. This allows the chili to melt the thin cheddar down, where it soaks into the bun around the dog.
Just as good as yesterdog and it’s downtown
