Excluding taxes from prices is deceptive and frustrating for customers, leading them to overspend and requiring extra calculations. It also seems like a sneaky tactic to pass on additional fees to patrons. Pricing transparency, respectability, and a seamless customer experience are achieved by including tax in the price. Additionally, the staff here are very relaxed and the hot dogs are delicious.

My wife was taking a picture of the restaurant to remember our positive experience at topdog, a famous place known for its history and delicious food. Suddenly, a Latino employee started yelling at my pregnant wife and harshly demanded that she delete all the photos. We were extremely offended by her behavior, as we had no idea what we had done wrong. We apologized twice even though we were unsure of the issue, but the employee almost threw our food at us. It seems that racism may still be present in this establishment. I regret giving her a tip when we paid. I do not know if the owner will see this review, but I hope that other Asian customers do not have to experience such a humiliating situation.

Traditional, good and hot off the grill with great lemonade or sodas to go. It kept myhusband fed through several years at Berkeley. Glad it's still there so many years after graduation. We still visit to eat everytime we are in Town. He likes the New York Frank's with crisp skin that pops the flavor in your mouth with each bite. I preferthe Bockwurst, fatter and juicier; each to their own. It's an institution not to be missed.

I remember as a graduate student, I would buy a hot dog no drink for 65 cents. Load up on sauerkraut and that was dinner. I can't believe nothing haschanged but the prices.
