Happy Day at the Happy Dog

Happy Day at the Happy Dog

We celebrated Andy’s mom’s birthday last weekend with tater tots, friends and shuffleboard at Happy Dog.

The menu here is simple: hot dogs, french fries and tots … along with dozens of not-so-simple toppings and sauces. You can choose from the usual (house-made ketchup) to the weird (vegetable chow mein) to the out of this world (alien pickle relish — it’s neon green!).

I think tots are the perfect conduit for dipping sauces, and you can try as many as you want! The chipotle hollandaise is my favorite.

Everyone had such a great time. Happy Dog is a gem, and we’re so lucky to have special places like this in Cleveland.
