ROCKSTAR DOGS INC
What People Are Saying About Rockstar Dogs -- CLOSED

In Short – Hot dogs and pop music make an unlikely pairing in this one-room, cash-only storefront on Ashland, where a name like Justin Timberlake means a dog topped with cheese. When the mood strikes, late-night diners take turns at a stripper pole up front while they wait for their brats. The White Stripes stream into speakers, while photos of a shirtless Anthony Kedis, a mohawked Billy Idol and a docile-looking Courtney Love cover the walls.

Vedder Dog- a great tribute to a hometown hero.
by NevadaDanRules
The Vedder Dog is delicious, and a venerable tribute to one of the great voices of rock n roll. Keep the Zeppelin Dog, the Los Lobos, the Ramones, and the Tommy Lee( just because of the falic symbolism, not because his contribution to music is at all important. Get rid of the Kid Rock, Sting, and Manson dogs- these are fakes- like eating a steak this isn't 100 percent USDA prime meat.
Nevada Dan chiming in.
- Pros: Vedder, Zeppelin, Ramones, Los Lobos
- Cons: Kid Rock, Sting, Manson

Know Before You Go:
You might want to make that order to go since seating is limited to six stools. Foot traffic remains steady, regardless of the time of day.
