This place is almost what a hot dog joint should be. Staff: Very friendly and engaging. Atmosphere: Clean, neatly arranged, cozy. Food: I had a Chicago dawg and a Polish with meat sauce. The Chicago dawg would have been better if it was a higher quality hot dog to begin with. The skin was not snappy and the overall texture was just average. The Polish was excellent. Snappy skin, firm texture, and not greasy. The meat sauce had a slightly smoky sweetness to it and just a hint of cumin which gives the flavor profile the nuance of a non-intrusive chili. Overall I had to rate this place a 3. If they upgrade the hot dog quality, this place will easily be a four.

The dogs were not the kind with snappy skins, but they were decent quality. A plain hot dog you can dress yourself with standard condiments was $1.75, so prices seem reasonable. They also had a variety of tamales made in Texas.

I don't really like hot dogs, but my husband does. I really like tamales, but my husband can take them or leave them. If only there were a restaurant where I could get delicious tamales and my husband could get a hot dog. Oh my god, there is one and this is that place! I can't speak to the deliciousness of the hot dogs, but my husband seemed pleased with the one he got. I can tell you that the tamale with sauce (meat sauce and cheese on a tamale, hey why not?) was divine. Is that an Illinois thing? To drench your tamale in cheese sauce? I'm not complaining. I'm just wondering. The two men behind the counter were so chatty and nice, too. Some people, especially New Yorkers, might be put off with two burly dudes behind the counter chatting up the customers, but I'm not from New York originally, so it made my day. And I love seeing my husband in action doing that thing that he does where he holds his own in a conversation about sports despite hating all televised sports. I don't know how he does it. He assures me it's part of the bro code and to not worry about it, so I don't. Anyway, to sum up: hot dogs, tamales, yum. (Note: there are only 2 tables and yes, they do have unsweetened brewed iced tea.)

We stopped in The Other Dawg again on Saturday. The dining room/counter was slammed and the lone employee behind the counter was very busy keeping up. She spoke to us immediately and said she would be right with us. She efficiently put the orders together for the waiting patrons, took our order and cooked our selections right away. She was always friendly, speaking to each person who walked in, despite her obvious workload at the moment. Our orders were prepared perfectly, and brought to our table (again a good customer service effort!). After the crowd died down and the dining room cleared out a bit, she spoke to each table individually, asking is everything was good, and offering punch cards to anyone who didn't have one. The food at The Other Dawg is good, and the prices are fair, however the customer service we received on Saturday 4/12/14 was absolutely outstanding!

At first glance you might think that you are at a biker bar with all of the burly unshaven men in front and behind the counter but co-owner Mike Graham,the biggest guy behind the counter with the burliest beard and mustache is genuinely friendly and glad to talk Dawg. He clearly loves what he does. It's a humble business. Inside are nine stools at a counter, two small tables, a glassed display of Mike's antique salt and pepper shaker collection and the dense and spicy aroma of onions and meat sauce. The hot dogs, mostly beef but with some pork, come from the Dearborn Sausage Co. in Michigan. This is the same company that provides the franks for Pink's, a famous hot dog eatery in L.A. and Las Vegas. The beef in the sauce is lean chuck from Alwan's, the Heights meat market. The buns are Butternut. The Other Dawg opened on 13 April 2011 and I wish them a long and prosperous future in the Heights.

My dining companion and I tried the coney dogs and pork tamales. The tamales were very good. Wrapped in real corn husks and full of well seasoned shredded pork, they were the stars of our meal. The coneys came topped with "special meat sauce", mustard, and onion. The dog was of average quality on a fresh food service bun. The "sauce" was more of a meat topping. It had good texture, but the only detectable flavor was cumin. There was a bit of heat and perhaps a whisper of garlic but the shouts of CUMIN! drowned out everything else. The sauce is made in-house and variation between batches is expected. Hopefully, cumin overload is not the norm. Five stars for the tamales. The bare dog and bun are typical food service stuff, so three stars. For leaving me tasting cumin seven hours later the meat sauce gets one star, and only because zero isn't an option. Three stars overall, because the tamales are That Good. The dogs were $2.50, which is at the high end of average for Peoria. The tamales were $2.00. Addtl: Went back 8/30 for more tamales. The plan was to try a sampling of all the varieties, but only chicken and black bean were available. The black bean tamales were filled with seasoned and mostly whole beans, very mild and quite tasty. The chicken tamales were pleasantly picante, filled with ground chicken and bits of peppers. Five stars for both. I didn't try the dogs again. I will at some point, and will update the review at that time.

This company needs a few tweaks, but they do serve up a tasty dog. The Chili dog is this tomato less chili that makes cumin proud. I'll be back.

I bought 2 deals from WEEK TV. We tried the dogs and tamales. 2 dogs and 2 tamales for almost $10, high end of average. Pork tamales although different than the most common local fare were very good. Closer to authentic Mexican. I will use my second deal for tamales. The chilli on our dogs was disgustingly heavy on cumin. Not an item to draw me back. Tamales rate 4 stars, dogs don't hit the chart. We routinly drive out of our area for a good dog. This place won't be on the list.
