The Hot Dog Man

The hotdog man is great! The food is always so fresh and delicious. Its hard to fiend a good hotdog in Sydney, hotdog man had many. I love the traditional Bratwurst and The Boss burger - both work well with a side of the potato tots.

Our order:
Wagyu beef with crispy onions, pickled slaw and kimchi mayo

Spanish chorizo with confit garlic aioli, manchego and leaves

The truff - truffle mayo with black pepper

We loved everything from here! Nice flavoured meat and toppings.

This is a good example of cheap and good food. You can try a nice burger or hotdog for less of $15. The burgers are not small, the beef is a good quality as well. They have interesting combinations and toppings. I tried "the boss" a bit spicy and with a fried egg, cool. The bread was fresh, that's important. And I really recommend the fries, are really good, they are like a small hash browns. Anyway, I think that worth try this place.

What a perfect location for a burger shop, walking along the main strip of manly and managed to pass a $10 special sign, doesn’t take much to get me into a burger joint so I was already sold.
For my $10 I received a classic burger, potato gems and a drink 👌🏼 the burger it’s self was amazing not to cheesy and the bun was soft and fresh.. now onto those little golden nuggets!! They where the winner of this meal 😍🤤 I would honestly go back just for those potato gems.

I was craving some hot dog at 10pm on a Friday night, but I didn't want to go to any of my usual places, so I ran a Google search and found this place. It was empty when I got there, and the one staff member working looked like he was about to close shop, but luckily for me, the place was actually open till 1am.

I ordered a smoked chicken chorizo, a chilli cheese dog, a slow cooked pork belly banh mi, the truff, and an orange juice. (The truff and the orange juice came as a combo set.) As there was only one staff member working there at that hour, it did take a little longer for my meal to be ready, but it wasn't really too long, perhaps 20-25mins roughly.

The chicken chorizo was delicious, the sausage was well-cooked, and grilled to perfection, with that nice, slightly hard skin on the outside of the sausage and then beautifully tender meat inside. The fillings were great too, although perhaps a little too much roquette (rocket). The buttermilk bun was so soft and light as well. However, their sausage-to-bun ratio was a little off to me, there was still quite a bit of bun left but no more fillings. The chilli cheese dog was great as well, piping hot and beautifully made, full of flavour, but again, my friend was left with too much bun and not enough filling. For such a large bun, the sausage and the fillings do not quite match it.

The slow cooked pork belly banh mi was good, but I prefer the traditional Vietnamese banh mi to be honest. While the pork belly was great, and the crackling was so crunchy and crispy, and I really couldn't fault it, the rest of the roll was lacking. The pate didn't have that usual strong flavour, there was way too much pickled carrots which gave it a rather sour taste after a few bites, and there was just too much mayo. The truff potato royales were great though (they were more like tater tots, or the hashbrown bites even), and although I'm a bit skeptical about how much truffle is really in that sauce, you could still definitely smell the truffle scent, and taste a faint hint of it with every bite.

Service here was very friendly and fast, with even just the one staff member working. I paid $46.50 for my meal for two, which sounds pricey for some hot dogs, but I did get a lot of food, and it was delicious and the service was great.

TIP: in winter, consider taking food away and eating in your car (they'll give u a big paper bag to carry everything in), as the restaurant itself has a large entrance doorway which can't be closed during service, and it tends to get very windy and cold inside due to this.

Hot dog ninja!!

The food lives up to the name, over 9 different sausages available to pick from with burgers and rolls ... Everyone can choose what they want.

I really like the pork belly banh mi, its an interpretation of a Vietnamese pork roll, home made pate and pickled veggies.

The sausages are delicious too so its always a good choice, make sure you get the truffle tots.

Limited seating area but u can get takeaway and walk to Manly beach!

Until next time .... Keep eating!

Hot dogs were tasty and was a good size. Also service was quick and responsive. The restaurant however was small and didn't have many seats.

Tried the $10 hot dog combo. Was not disappointed ! Great value. Friendly and quick service. Will be back for sure to try the burgers. EFTPOS here.

Great place in Manly. Delicious hot dogs using good quality sausages. They also have sides of potato gem with fabulous doppinh sauces. A really fantastic place for a quick meal. They also do home delivery through Deliveroo.
