Short Leash Dogs

I’ve been to this location twice in the last month. Both times out of regular and beef dogs. Staffer today says she had no idea why as she rarely works here. She seems more interested in checking her phone than working. And if dead fish/​zero energy were a description it would fit her personality. Losing interest in this place FAST.

Really disappointed, the hours are listed until 8pm on both Unilocal and their website. We showed up at 645 and they were closed. Absolutely ridiculous. Normally I love short leash, best dogs in town, but this was a big let down.

Love, love, love this place! Staff is always super friendly, and my chosen meal is always cooked perfectly. Very eclectic and diverse menu with options to build your own unique creation as well. Saddle on up to the counter for some yummy grub and good conversation with the staff. Try their spicy brat with chipotle cream cheese and diced bacon. Their potato salad is top notch, too. Not too happy that they don’t have Rollover Donuts offered for dessert any more, though… bring them back!

If you’re looking for a quick, delicious and affordable bite, check this place out. They have beef, chicken, and vegetarian hotdogs which I appreciate. I had the organic chicken hotdog, «aiko» style meaning the hotdog is dressed with mango chutney and spicy mayo. They use naan bread instead of a hotdog bun which surprisingly made a tasty vehicle for all the flavors. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.
Will come back to try the other varieties.

The décor of this place is what originally reeled me in because I love dogs :)
Food was very good ! I ordered a vegetarian Oliver and my boyfriend ordered the bratwurst stuffed pretzel with potato salad. Everything was delicious! The pickle on the side was so good and they make them in house.
The worker was wonderful too ! Very helpful with the menu items and very personable. He talked to us our entire time dining at Short Leash.

This was a cool little spot we just happened to walk by and decided to get a bite. The food was awesome and the staff were super friendly and informative. Well definitely stop by again.

I love Short Leash and was glad to hear they opened up a permanent shop inside The Union. The only downside is no fried pickles! For whatever reason, this location does not have fried pickles. To make up for no fried pickles, they do have salads and donuts. Additionally, all the hotdogs you know and love are on the menu and you can build your own. I love building my own — hot beer brat, bacon, Gouda, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and spicy mustard. Yum! This is my go-​to favorite and my husband loves it too.
Depending on where you enter The Union, the shop could be easy to miss because the signage is rather small. The inside of the shop is on the smaller side as well, but that doesn’t stop the big flavors. Inside, there is seating along a bar top, where you can watch your hotdog being made or there is a single table outside the eatery. The walls are covered in photos of dogs and the special hotdog creation inspired by the dog. The place is cute and modern with a white countertop and concrete walls.
Overall, it’s a great place to grab a delicious and unique hot dog. If I can’t catch the food truck or make it downtown, this is a great spot to help curb my cravings!

It was good but not great I was expecting a lil more I guess. Different than your average hot dog but yet and still it’s a average hot dog, If that makes any sense.

I haven’t been too the food truck or downtown location. I have been here twice and I do not know what the big deal is… I will have to try the dwntn location. Not impressed w this at all.

I like this place. Its small and little table space but the Dogs are great!
A little pricey but I like it. Can not go often because of the price.
The Donuts are great also! try one!
I’ll be back!

I was super hungry and decided to come here because I love the one downtown. The service was prompt and my hotdog was what I expected, if a little worse than the original. I was so disappointed when I got the chips and they weren’t made on site.
I was there alone, sitting at the bar and after I placed my order the two employees played on their phones the entire time! At least attempt some conversation. This one also did not have alcohol.

Best hot dog I can ever remember having. Had the devil dog and LOVED it!
The flavors went so well together. Some sweetness from the onions and sriracha. A little heat from the jalapenos and beer hot. And some really good bread. I devoured it very quickly.
While it was definitely a great hot dog, for 8 bucks with a tip it would be nice to have a small amount of chips to add some texture to the meal. So close to a 5 star review.
I would come back again and recommend to others.
So right next to Forge there is a small doorway that looks like you are going into Forge but your not. Follow it to the end. If you are coming from the southside the door looks like it is only for a juice bar but its not. Go in and get a hot dog. This place needs to do a better job and marking the doorways or something.

After spending about 10 minutes trying to find the place, we successfully found it inside of a little walkway next to Forge. I had the organic chicken Moki with no tomatoes, it was delicious! They also use naan bread instead of hotdog buns, which makes it a little interesting to eat, but the softness of the naan goes really well with the dog. They also have veggie dogs too!
The service was excellent and food was delivered with speed and garnish with a sweet pickle on top. The classic Mexican coke makes an great refreshing addition to a hot Arizona day.

These dogs are great. Now $ 6.50 is indeed way too much to pay for a regular dog, even for the best, one from Flo’s on Route One in Cape Neddick, Maine.
But, you really can’t call the Short Leash hot dogs «regular.»
From the «dog» itself to the bread (a Nan-​style, good sized pita bread) to the delicious and unusual toppings, this is a special meal as many Unilocalers have reported.
The help has experience with people wandering into this place, just one of many stalls and shops in this Union mini-​mall area. Many people are attracted to the wall of cool photos of dogs! The gals behind the counter were quick to nicely explain the menu – and just as quick I was chowing down on an Oliver, with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and 1000 island dressing.
I liked it.
But, oh how I wish it was July and I was back at Flo’s – even if Gail was cranky because someone was holding the screen door open.

Short Leash — what’s not to love? I’ve always been happy with the combos here, and we love the use of the flatbread instead of a bun. I do kind of feel like it is a little hit or miss… or perhaps the quality has changed a little? Not sure, but it’s a good tasty little bite if you are in the area and can’t make it downtown to their other location!

Great hotdogs served creatively, this is a great place for a quick lunch, not too expensive, when hitting The Biltmore. Pleasant staff and the nearby shops make this a really good place they make their own donuts, which look delicious. While they don’t offer coffee, there is a good cup available at the end of the passageway.

This is the Short Leash in the Union at the Biltmore. I love this location because it really is the perfect place to grab an early 11 o’clock lunch and a dirty chai latte from Royal next door. Plus once you are done you can pop over to MAC and see what’s new. I always do :)
I’ve run into Brad a few times here and he’s his usual, friendly, chipper self. There is nothing better than service with a smile!

Same tasty food, adorable atmosphere, but I think the server was a little overwhelmed.
We ordered drinks, a salad and two veggie dogs. The girl who took or order was really nice, but she seemed to be the only one there on Saturday night, aside from the cook. She forgot the drinks until we got our hot dogs (and we reminded her), and the salad came well after the dogs. It took a little while to get waters, as well.
Same tasty food as the brick n mortar and the food trucks. The café itself is really cute, but the nice girl at the counter could definitely use some help!

So maybe i’ll catch a lot of flack because of my low star review for such a popular eatery, but I was not at all impressed with the food hype surrounding this place.
at first i was super excited to see the veggie dog option and the multitude of toppings you can get on your hot dog. it sounded like a savory heaven! and i do mean everything! any kind of vegetable and/​or cheese and/​or traditional topping and even some not so traditional toppings. they serve salads and alcohol as well.
service was super friendly and quick, so no complaints there.
but it was just a veggie hot dog. like the kind i can buy in a pack at sprouts. the flavor came from the toppings so essentially i was eating a salad on top of a veggie dog. and although i’m not a hot dog fan, i especially don’t care for hot dog buns. short leash replaced the bun with a giant pita bread. it’s so much bread! you get full from the huge pita, not the filling itself.
i was mostly disappointed because we tried some of their offerings at the Unilocal Downtown event and were very impressed with what they had (fried green tomato!). maybe they have that at their brick and mortar store or the food truck but not at the pop up location. and 6.50 for a veggie dog just seems a bit too much.

If, when, how, the, what the!
Who the heck. (Dramatic pause)
Came up with this flavor driven tastebud amusement park for My belly!!!
Any way you try it. Any thing you place on it. Your not going to regret it. Well if you eat too many in one sitting you might ., uh yea just trust me on that.
Great service. Friendly staff. Always smiling and working hard. They love to help you with fun pairings and recommendations!
They have all kinds of dogs.
(In slow mo)
they have Chicken dogs, Beef dogs, Pork dogs, Veggie dogs, Shriners dogs, boiled shrimp wait not that last one.
They use Naan bread instead of buns (freakn amazing). Picasso had a brush they got NAAN!!!
I’ve tried them all. Loved them all and lived to share my love with the world through means of verbal and social communication.
How dare you not go here… You should be ashamed… Bad doggie!
And I’m out!!!
