Our family of 5 got take out hot dogs from I Dream of Weenie in December on our family Christmas in Tennessee trip! My one daughter is vegan and another one is vegetarian and they loved their vegan/vegetarian hot dogs. I forget the name of...the one vegan topping my daughter absolutely loved but she ended up buying it at Publix to take home with her. I think it started with a "k".Our regular hot dogs were good too. We loved the whole vibe of the hot dog stand as well - the VW camper van, the cute sign etc. We took some cute photos. I am so glad we visited this hot dog stand and would highly recommend it to others.More

Talk about any kind of hot dog you want - they have it! A VW car converted into a shack where the dogs are made. A must see!

How can you not stop at a place called “I Dream of Weenie” and that looks like someone crashed a VW bus into a shack and decided to leave it and turn it into a hot dog stand? We found this place because we were...looking for a lunch spot with outside seating. Scattered around the bus are a number of brightly painted picnic tables. We were there on a Sunday and discovered that they have a full brunch hotdog menu. I had a Benedict dog complete with poached egg and hollandaise and my wife had the cheesy hash brown casserole dog. Both were great. Counter service was fast and friendly. I would definitely stop again next time I am driving through Nashville.More

This hot dog stand is always a must when we visit Nashville. It seems to be always open, even on rainy day. The hot dogs have different toppings, all are good! Picnic tables surround the venue, it’s a walk up to order. Start dreaming and...visit!More

Stop by to get my picture in front of the I Dream of Weanie sign and decided to get a hotdog with just cheese and onion and it was probably one of the best hotdogs I’ve ever had

You have to love the walk up restaurant - in a yellow VW bus! The hot dogs are great and the staff is very friendly. Several picnic tables are in the shade. I’ll be back!

If you like hot dogs, you will probably love this place. We did. I had a hot dog with goat cheese and Vidalia onions marmalade on it. Who knew that would be super delicious. Mac and cheese is worth the calories. Just plain fun.

I was lucky to visit I Dream of Weenie as part of a food tour. We were given a hot dog with three different types of toppings. It was delicious and very filling. A special bonus was the Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale that they serve....It’s amazing and the perfect compliment to a great lunch.More

I wondered how a hot dog could be so good that a food truck could be ranked so high. Just go get one. It's well worth it. Go for the homemade pimento cheese and throw some Tennessee chow chow on it because when in Rome,...after all. You won't be mad. Oh, and grab some of the little homemade shortbread cookies if they have them that day. This was my second best meal while I was in town recently (trip number 5).More

Can a hot dog really be amazing or extraordinary? Absolutely! I tried the pimento dog and it was delicious! This is an outdoor food stand, so be prepared for the weather. We were there on a beautiful day and enjoyed eating outside at the picnic...tables. I plan to go back so I can try other varieties.More

We were waiting on a pizza and walked past I Dream of Weenie. It was adorable. My daughter was instantly curious when she heard someone order a veggie mac and cheese dog. We had to try and saved the pizza for later. I had an...all beef hotdog. It was soooooo good!!!More
