Dairy Del · Merriwether
This Shelby Street walk-up serves hot dogs and chili dogs alongside soft serve. The simple counter makes a quick, inexpensive stop: order a dog first, then add ice cream if the weather calls for it.
Red Top Hotdogs & Burgers · Butchertown
Red Top grew from a food truck into a hot dog kitchen inside Atrium Brewing. Try the Tatanka, a bison sausage on a pretzel bun with cheddar beer cheese, or choose the vegan dog when the usual meat-heavy lineup does not fit.
Dairy Kastle · Louisville
This Eastern Parkway walk-up near the University of Louisville has served chili dogs and soft serve since 1976. The menu stays inexpensive, and the small window suits a quick dog followed by ice cream.
