Doug's Hot Dogs - Hot dog restaurant in Norfolk - 9643 Granby St, USA

I recently had the opportunity to stop by Restaurant Doug's Hot Dogs for a quick bite, and I must say it was quite an experience. Located in a small, charming spot with old town vibes, the restaurant has a 1950’s ambiance. The two servers were polite and quick! I ordered two Italian sausages along with a side of chips. While waiting for my order, I couldn't help but notice that the buns were being prepared on the counter for another patron. This raised a slight concern in my mind, wondering if they had done the same with my hot dogs. However, being preoccupied with a phone call, I didn't pay too much attention to it. The Italian sausages themselves were decent, although they seemed to be missing a certain something. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but the flavor didn't quite reach its full potential. Nevertheless, I must admit that I appreciated the fact that I received two sausages instead of one. One was plain, and the other came with sauerkraut, which added a nice tangy twist. However, I would advise the restaurant to go easy on the sauerkraut, as it tended to make the buns moist rather quickly. Alternatively, serving the kraut on the side would be a great solution. Despite these minor drawbacks, I found Restaurant Doug's Hot Dogs to be a charming place to grab a quick bite. It's conveniently located near the beach, making it an ideal stop for those in need of a satisfying meal. The quaint atmosphere, coupled with the friendly servers, adds to the overall appeal of the place. So, if you're looking for a unique hot dog experience with a touch of nostalgia, I would recommend giving this place a try.

Small, quaint diner like eatery w/a straight forward menu. The staff was friendly & polite & I was given service w/a smile. They offer 2 styles of hot dogs.. all beef or the snap dog(w/a casing that has a "snap" to it when you bite into it). I got the snap style.. one was the slaw dog w/fritos which was delicious & the Mac & cheese dog which was also delicious. The Mac & cheese was very creamy & went well w/the dog. Overall a nice little place.. highly recommend if ur looking for a personal feel w/ your meal. They have the "good" ice..lol..I had their limeade to wash it down..

Tried this place for the first time since moving near ocean view last year. Fantastic! I came in today and sat at the bar to dine in. Staff is so friendly and quick. I tried the pork and beef hot dogs described with “snappy skin” and its delicious. I wanted to venture out from my normal cravings and I got the Boston dog and the Mac and cheese dog. The Mac and cheese dog reminds me of my childhood. My dad would put cut hot dogs in my Mac and cheese for dinner sometimes and I wasn’t expecting the Mac and cheese to be perfect and creamy! The Boston dog is delicious. I love everything in it! I highly recommend Doug’s if you’re stopping by the beach or heading towards Hampton it’s worth the stop, The prices are right, the music is good, the service is perfect and the food is delicious!

A small hole in the wall with no parking but a very simple and elegant menu for a snack. On my most recent experience I got the hot Italian sausage which is soft on the inside and had a nice crisp casing. The navy bean soup which was smooth and peppery and a slice of key lime that was sweet and tart with a good crust.

Somehow I found this place and I’m so glad I did. The servers were very professional and respectful, they even recommended their favorite hot dogs. They have regular ones, and then other types for those feeling more adventurous. Hot dogs were delicious! Thank you so much for everything, I’ll definitely be back!

Doug's has been a special place in Ocean View forever. Always terrific dogs. The soups are great. They have extended their menu which I'll be trying. It's really a no Brainerd to pick up a few dogs on your way to the beach. I've taken my older relatives who just want to see the beach, not walk on it, and had a mini picnic in the car. Good dogs, sunny day and family you love, what could be better. (If it's cold and dreary, go inside Doug's for a dog and soup) Folks are friendly

This quaint family run joint has been around for nearly 50 years. Dougs Hotdogs in Ocean View serves hotdogs, soups, sides, and sandwiches. With an interesting assortment of toppings. You can choose from a beef dog or a local made in Norfolk dog that is not all beef but still delicious. And top it simply with cheese or go all out and add mac and cheese. I got the suicide dog topped with cheese jalapeños and cheetos. It was wasn't as spicy as I wanted but it hit the spot. Rodney ordered soup and a chilli dog. The soup was hearty and chunky. The broth was well seasoned without being salty. We left full and happy and didn't spend a ton of money. This joint is small on the inside but you can order delivery or to go. Also the customer service was great. The ladies behind the counter made us feel welcome. These folks are doing dogs right. Its worth a stop if you enjoy a decent hotdog and the prices are reasonable.

Very overpriced for what you get and most of the items on the menu they don't have. And service is not that friendly was a little disappointed. I'm extremely stunned at the response to my review, this has to have been one of the root employees that I was complaining about because who do you know answers a review saying that the girls that work there have been there a long time and I must have had a bad day and was rude to them and if you are the owner how dare you to make a comment like that obviously you don't know your staff as well as you do next again if you are not one of the staff members responding to the review you don't know your stuff as well as you think you do because there was several items on your menu that I asked for that you're employee told me was not available. And yes I am very aware of the increase in food prices however I was not expecting to get a simple hot dog that I can make it home for the price u change. And yes you have been there for a long time but please don't ever get too ignorant to listen to your customers because I want you to take a good look around let's see how many restaurants have been around for years and are no longer in business or no longer doing the business they use to shame on you for being ugly to someone's review listen to what your customers are saying instead of being nasty.
