About

Since 2002, Dam Dogs has been Rockford’s home of the all–beef hot dog that you need a fork to eat.

What makes Dam Dogs a unique experience? We start with a premium, all beef hot dog, place it into a gently steamed bun, and then pile on the fresh toppings.

Dam Dogs has a variety of dogs from which to choose and we name them after local and famous dams (like our Rockford dog, which has become a classic). Or make your own, selecting from nearly two dozen toppings and sauces.

You’ll love every bite of a Dam Dogs dog… and our chips and cheese, walking taco and great selection of chips, cookies, fountain or bottled soft drinks, iced teas and more. And after your meal, don’t forget to stop next door at Custard by the Dam, where the frozen custard makes the perfect dessert for a Dam Dogs meal.

Dam Dogs has plenty of inside seating, but when the weather’s nice, the downtown Rockford Dam Rogue River, and White Pine Trail are right outside our back door!
