January 6, 2015 by

Grab a quick bite from Miami’s Sweet Dogs. This South Florida eatery focuses on doing one thing extraordinarily well – hot dogs. These Nathan’s Brand sausages are topped with inventive ingredients for a delicious bite to eat.

Many of the specialty dogs are named after local sports teams like “The Heat” with chili, tomato, cheddar cheese, guacamole, jalapenos and corn chips. Sweet Dogs are a generous size, meaning you’ll be satisfied with one. If you have a large appetite – order a side of mac and cheese. Be ware, they can get messy. Regulars return time and again, not only for the good eats, but for the welcoming service.
