Voodoo Dog

I was in Tallahassee for a Half Marathon and decided to try a popular local restaurant. I loved this place, the décor, the staff and most of all the food. I had The Jefferson (Bacon wrapped hot dog with Mac n’ Cheese) and The Wake n’ Bake (bacon and fried egg wrapped hot dog with melted cheese on top). They were both incredible. I had my dog with me and she enjoyed her classic voo doo dog (bacon wrapped hot dog), in the lovely outdoor seating area. There is also convenient parking back there so you don’t have to try to find a spot on the street. If I am ever even remotely close to the area, it’s a no brainer to stop here!

Fun, unique hotdogs in a similar environment. Kids and I went and ordered two of their dogs with mac-​n-​cheese and I had the one topped with baked beans and slaw. We also tossed in an order of chili cheese fries for good measure.
Food arrived quickly and was really good. Kids enjoyed the 2 arcade games they had there.
I have been here several times and will def go back, but I also want to check out their new location and see how they have that one set up.

Good, but more than I wanted to pay. They make good food, but it’s just too pricey for regular families.

Hot dogs are good BUT they close too freaking early to be literally in walking distance from a major university

Best hot dogs and burgers in Tally!

This hole in the wall has great burgers and all the crazy hotdogs you can imagine. You pay when you walk in and revive your food a little after, don’t expect fast service because of the size of the kitchen but always delicious. A Tallahassee landmark.

Some friends and I went on a slow Monday night. In town for a week of work.
I had a very good Chili Burger.
It was cooked right; great taste; bun was just right – toasted.
The fries were good also.
One knock… no unsweet tea.

If you are looking for a place of character and a place that combines awesome childhood favorite foods to make a party in your mouth, stop here! Plus PBR ‘s are $ 1 on Sunday! I had the Jefferson, a bacon wrapped dog covered in mac & cheese… Mmmm mmmm YUM. My man had the holey-​moley burger which was «heavy on the guac and awesomeness for my belly after driving from NC».

If you’re going to Tallahassee and want a great fun trendy place with traditional food served in an untraditional way… THIS IS YOUR STOP!
I’ve been to Tallahassee 4 times in the past year and every time I make sure to make a stop here and get a Jefferson hot dog. All the hot dogs are wrapped in bacon but this one in particular has Mac and cheese on top baked with Parmesan cheese. This one is my personal favorite. My runner up choice is the wake-​n-​bake made with a fried egg and cheese. It’s like a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a hot dog. Life could not get any better!!!

Fantastic prices for quality dogs & burgers. Wake & Bake dog was especially tasty. Fries are shareable sized.

This place is funky in a good way. The décor makes you feel like you stepped back to the 70’s and 80’s with all of the hair band and classic movie references. The menu consists of hot dogs and hamburgers with a variety of toppings. The Hari Kari is my favorite, it’s a hot dog wrapped in bacon topped with pineapple and a sweet and savory sauce. They do have a happy hour from 2 – 5 with $ 2 voodoo dogs. If you are looking for a quick American eats place with a palate awakening twist, this is the place to be.

I had both the Shareef Dog (hummus and cucumber) and Good Ol’ Boy Dog (coleslaw and baked beans). I enjoyed both of them, but would choose the Shareef Dog as my favorite of the two.
The coleslaw was good, but the baked beans tasted like they were straight out of the can… could have been better.

go there — j.u.s.t g.o. t.h.e.r.e!
The shabby outside hides a sweet secret. A crispy dog with delicious toppings and a lot of nostalgia if you’re a kid of the 70s/​80s/​90s. Nice staff and a good choice that makes you want more and more and more. Super good tip happy we’ve been there. And everyone of you should too!

She wasn’t thin or lean, she brought the mac n’ cheese
She was the best damn hot dog that I ever seen
She had a side of fries better than Five Guys
Knockin’ me out with her American size
Takin’ more than my share had me fighting for air
I’z like, ‘Get in my belly!’ but she was already there
Cause my hands start shakin’
The bun was flakin’
My mind was achin’
And I was thinkin’ that I…
Need more Voodoo Dog!
Yeah I…
Need more Voodoo Dog!

The hot dogs were hot and tasty. We had the Jefferson (definitely recommended for a Mac and Cheese lover) and the Mexican dog with Guac and sour cream. They were both very good. They are around $ 4~ and they are not huge, so you can try two varieties and be satisfied.
The Mac and cheese was very creamy and satisfying so I was full with one dog, and as other reviewers said the dogs are fried and the buns are not steamed.
Customer service was nice, I will definitely come back.

Solid dogs & burgers concept. I was very happy to see the curry wurst option and so we ordered two. A tasty item, but for those that may expect it to be a copy of the German national fast-​good dish (without question Currywurst) — understand that it is voodoo dog’s interpretation of it. It’s GOOD! It’s just served on a bun (whole) and not sliced into ¾″ pieces with curry sauce and no bun.
For the «purists» it is easily resolved. Ditch the bun, and cut it up!
(Having taken the trouble to make the above point paints me as one PEEVISHLY S.O.B…)
The menu is great. Put a hotdog or hamburger together yourself — or go with predetermined creations. You shouldn’t be disappointed.
Icing on the cake, here, is the functional Ms. Pacman and the to-​be-​functional Galaga arcade games. Finally, a joint where the middle-​aged can battle for who’s high score initials grace the top of the list on display for all to see! ;)
Voodoo Dogs deserves its high Unilocal review rankings! Congenial counter service, clean dining area and restrooms, creative décor. Five stars in class!!!

The dogs are fried and the buns are not steamed, making them not too soft.
I’ve had better hot dogs from Costco or a street vendor, do not waste your time here, I do not understand what all the hype is about this place.

For a place named after their choice hot dogs, their burgers are beautifully done!
The order comes with a good portion of fries. I got the Cowabunga (the grilled pineapple is perfectly proportioned to cover the patty) as is and was able to add from the condiments available on the counter (like cholula!). Fries were also very well done. I’ll definitely be back to try their dogs.
Bonus: Cool décor.
P. S.- Don’t forget to bring quarters to play a game of Ms. Pac-​Man

Voodoo Dog was a small restaurant and almost hidden if you’re looking for it. The parking was limited to a small back lot and street parking. Inside of this Voodoo Dog location was small and cozy. Their menu was large and had descriptions of each item so it was nice to know what to expect. We each ordered and sat down. The cashier was nice and told me the two popular item on the menu were the Jefferson ($ 4) and the Wake-​N-​Bake ($ 4.50) which were both on the hot dog side of the menu. The Jefferson was a bacon-​wrapped dog with housemade mac ‘n’ cheese and the Wake-​N-​Bake was a bacon-​wrapped dog with a fried egg and cheddar cheese. Both of those sounded pretty good to me.
I ordered the Voodoo Burger ($ 9.50) which came with fries, the Jefferson dog, and a fountain soda ($ 1.75). If you want any toppings besides ketchup, mustard, or mayo then it would be an extra 25 cents to $ 1 depending on what topping you want. All of that was on their menu. We sat down and waited for our food. Each table had ketchup, mustard, curry ketchup, a spray bottle of vinegar, and a jar full of something that I forgot what the cashier said.
Our food came and I ate the Voodoo Burger first. It was an Angus burger topped with a Polish sausage, cheddar, and American cheese. It was pretty good and I actually told the cashier about it later since she’s never tried it before. I would say that was enough for one person to fill them up with the fries left to finish the job; however, I was still hungry and started on my Jefferson dog. It was also pretty good and it was too bad I couldn’t take a better picture. I recommend either the Voodoo Burger if you want a burger or the Jefferson if you want a hot dog. I thought the fries were good and I tried some of the curry ketchup with them. The curry ketchup was interesting and definitely worth trying.
Great place for some good food. Come check it out!

How do I describe Voodoo Dog? The place doesn’t look that great on the outside but step into the restaurant and you’ll realize a place doesn’t need to look fancy to pack a tasty punch.
I’ve been here more than once and make it a priority to come to Voodoo Dog every time I’m in town. I stopped here for my lunch break this week since it was a quick walk from the Capitol. I’m so glad I did.
There are a ton of varieties of hot dogs and burgers here, but the menu isn’t just limited to those options. You can basically create any kind of burger or hot dog you want. The prices are inexpensive for what you get. I ordered a bunless burger with a variety of additions, a side of coleslaw and a drink and it all came out to $ 11.
The burger itself was really awesome. It was perfectly cooked and loaded with Swiss cheese and onions. I added some Sriracha because I felt like adding a kick to my burger. I don’t see a lot of places with Sriracha sauce so this was really cool to me.
The coleslaw here is really great and fresh. The portion was rather large for $ 2 and it hit the spot along with my burger.
The service is friendly and the food is good. There are also old school video games here like Pac Man, so I can definitely see this being a cool «hangout» kind of spot in the area.
