Top Dog 2 Doyle Cove Road, Rockport, MA 01966

"This place has gone down the tubes, stay away 4 hot dogs (penny pincher 2 orders) $28.00 and they had no chips and still Charge you full amount and wanted to charge $3.00 to substitute for the chips, a lobster roll was cheaper than the dogs. Very disappointing"

"Used to be a great place! Fun atmosphere. Delicious food. Now forget it! Supposedly they offer boiled or grilled dogs. Only problem is they grill them for about 20 seconds; no browning at all. I ask them to throw it back on & grill it well done. Instead they threw it out & grilled a new one. Again Not browned. Not done! Terrible! An old favorite down the drain. Oh and my histories it again today, still terrible. Not cooked! I don’t understand. Just beware."

"This was the best meal on the island and it had some of the best workers as well. They gave me a very generous portion of onion rings and the chili dog was very good. There was a big problem with the register because I ordered and paid for clam chowder but they had run out, and so the kid had to refund me, and then I had to give him part of the refund back in order to pay for the chili dog. It was a disaster— but the kid handled it very well and got things back on track quickly. Then the kid needed a side of onion rings for another order but they didn’t have any prepared. I offered to loan him some of mine in exchange for another refund. He declined the offer and went back to making onion rings. He then asked us how the food was and we said that he gave us way too many onion rings. All things considered these guys were doing a great job given the circumstances. I may come back again very soon. Afterwards we went down to the end of the bearskin neck and we met another kid climbing underneath the rocks. We saw his head sticking out and looking around in a very suspicious fashion. We thought he was hiding his stash under there so we went to take a look. He showed us that he had been mapping the caves underneath the rocks. This kid was very suspicious until we got to know him and then we discovered that he had a heart of gold. He was a good kid and spending his youth under the rocks had made him tough. Our friend went down there for a few minutes and toured a sizable length of the cave, but this was not nearly the full extent of the caves which the kid had explored. He said that when the tide was lower the caves were much more expansive. For all his faults this kid did not hesitate to help us when we needed him most. Later on we went to get an ice cream and we saw this kid riding his bike. He was talking on the phone while he steered. He looked like a young version of Bruce. Bruce is a guy who lives around here and drives around on his motorbike pretending to sing Italian music. One time my friend who lives here stopped to talk to Bruce. Overall this was a great restaurant and I may come back again very soon."

"We always visit Top Dog when we’re in Rockport. Food is great and the hot dog combos are fun to try. It can definitely get a bit busy, but it’s worth the wait"

"We stopped here and ordered the kids Mac & cheese dog meal for the kids. They did NOT like it. The Mac and cheese was pasta was over cooked, mushy, and the cheese sauce was thick and bland. They squirted processed cheese sauce on the top. Maybe your kids will like it, ours didn't."
