Tubby Dog - Calgary, Alberta

Legendary food, staff and atmosphere! Calgary's one and only hotdog specialty restaurant with killer arcade games. Fun for all!

Ordered some hotdogs for takeout on the weekend. I walked in and was immediately greeted. I could hear our order being prepared, and the "yes, chef!" coming from the kitchen gave me great peace of mind that this isn't your typical fast food place. There were a few customers sitting ... inside (we've just opened up indoor dining recently), and about 8 arcade games lined the wall as you walked in. The kiddos would definitely enjoy those! We ordered the PB&J, and the Sumo. Both were so deliciously different from your average hotdog. Was disappointed to learn that there was no Chicago Dog. WHAT!? We also ordered a side of fries, and well let me tell you they were the first to be eaten! Hand cut fries, perfectly seasoned, and was the perfect side for our dogs. The New Brunswicker in me wants to go back just to get more of those fries! Read more

I like the novelty of a gourmet hot dog, and everything here tastes quite clean and well prepared. I had their classic "Tubby Dog" which comes with chili and a cheese sauce on top. The portion of chili was pretty generous and is above average. The bun itself however was ... pathetic and turned mushy very quickly making it impossible to eat in your hand. Price is a little expensive considering the bun and hot dog itself is only slightly better than average. Overall a good place for a quick and filling meal. Read more

First time. Tasty chili. Poutine was a little heavy on the cheese (need better fries to cheese ratio) and the gravy wasn't hot enough to melt the cheese much, but it tasted good. Really liked the hot dog. Nice ambiance with old arcade games and pinball machine. Would go back ... again if in the area. Read more

Just wow!!! Tubby Dog puts a modern twist on an otherwise boring, traditional hot dog. Modern and unique offerings of specialty hot dogs that just keeps you craving for more!!! I had their peanut butter and grape jelly with captain crunch hot dog - OMG!!! Best hot dog ... I've ever had. Who would've imagined that peanut butter and jelly garnished with captain crunch cereal would be so delicious combined with a hot dog!!! Loved it. Retro shop, very calm and casual, great place to just hang out with your friends pounding back some dogs and beer. Staff are super cool and chill, made for a great experience. They also sell t-shirts - super cool. Read more
