Brown Dog Deli · Downtown
This Calhoun Street deli serves a chili cheese dog piled with cheddar, yellow mustard and chopped white onions, a combination the Post and Courier flagged in its citywide hot dog roundup. It also placed runner-up for Best Sub Sandwich / Hoagie in the 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, a second category where the deli holds its own.
Jack's Cosmic Dogs · Mount Pleasant
The classic all-beef dog here comes topped with blue cheese coleslaw, and the Atomic dog adds house-made chili and spicy mustard, across two Charleston-area locations. Jack's Cosmic Dogs won Best Hot Dogs in Charleston City Paper's 2026 Best of Charleston readers' poll, with an address confirmed exactly by that winners list.
Johnny's Hot Dogs · Mount Pleasant
This Mount Pleasant counter-service spot builds its reputation on customization, with more than 40 toppings available for a build-your-own dog. The Post and Courier's citywide hot dog roundup calls out that toppings list specifically, pointing to it as the reason regulars keep coming back for a different combination each visit.
Skoogies · Mount Pleasant
This Chicago-style deli specializes in a Vienna beef dog on a poppy seed roll, dressed with peppers, relish, pickle spear and celery salt in the Windy City tradition. The Post and Courier's citywide hot dog roundup points to it as the go-to Mount Pleasant stop for anyone missing a proper Chicago dog.
