Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Richmond BizSense and Richmond Magazine. Updated September 2026.
City Dogs · The Fan
A hot dog counter on West Main Street in the Fan, serving a long list of regional-style dogs alongside fresh-cut fries. Richmond BizSense confirmed in December 2024 that the Fan location continues trading even as the original Shockoe Slip shop, which ran for sixteen years, closed and became Cicada's.
The Mayor Meats · Carytown
A Carytown butcher shop and restaurant from chef Kyle Morse, making its wagyu hot dogs in house. Richmond Magazine's Boardwalk Beauties feature named The Mayor for a local, pasture-raised wagyu beef hot dog loaded with minced chili, onion and shredded cheddar, made in the former Carytown Cupcakes space.
Black Lodge · Scott's Addition
A Scott's Addition coffee bar by day that turns into a hot dog and cocktail room at night, sibling to Brenner Pass next door. Richmond Magazine named it among the spots serving locally made hot dogs alongside movie-theater and gas-station roller classics, with a menu built around house-made links and playful toppings.
