Yesterdog is located in Eastown, one of the most popular places to visit when in Grand Rapids. The Hot Dogs – Yesterdog, Cheddardog, Ultradog, Krautdog and Veggiedog – are made right in front of your eyes, so you can see all of the action before sitting down to get sloppy. They say:

In 1976 Bill Lewis decided he could build a better hotdog. And build a better hotdog he did! … The restaurant’s interior takes guests back to the 1930’s and 40’s with vintage posters, an ornate hand crank cash register, an antique jukebox, and an old gramophone horn which serves as the “tip target” where customers toss their coins.

Warning: Yesterdog Hot Dogs are known for their messiness! Here’s a map to Yesterdog on Absolute Michigan’s Map of Michigan. You can learn more about them at yesterdog.com and check out The Yesterdog Documentary.
