Great Wolf Lodge Hot Dog Menu, Ranked
5. Chicago Dog
The Chicago Dog was not my favorite.I know Chicago dog fans may come for me here, but this one just wasn’t for me. Honestly, it was a little too spicy and vinegary for my taste (I blame the relish and sport peppers). If you love a traditional Chicago-style hot dog loaded with toppings, you’ll probably enjoy it way more than I did. But compared to the other options, this is the one I'd be least likely to go back for.
4. Carolina Dog
The Carolina Gold BBQ sauce was great, but the pickles were overwhelming.The Carolina Dog tasted like summer barbecue in a hot dog. The pulled pork had a smoky flavor, while the coleslaw cooled everything down. The pickle and Carolina Gold BBQ sauce was flavorful, but the strong pickle flavor took over a little too much for me personally.
3. Big Texas Dog
This one felt the most like classic comfort food. The beef brisket chili was delicious and even had a hint of coffee in it that I tasted. Add in the cheddar cheese and onions, and I was going for more bites during the taste test. Definitely on the heavy side, but still very good.
2. Southwest Dog
After a day inside the park, the Southwest Dog was so satisfying.This one surprised me. The fresh avocado, pico de gallo and crunchy tortilla strips gave it a ton of texture, and it tasted fresh, flavorful and a little lighter than some of the heavier hot dogs on the menu. Overall, it just worked after a day of slides and the wave pool with three little kids.
1. New England Lobster Dog
I'm still thinking about the New England Lobster Dog!With the exception of the New England Lobster Dog, every specialty hot dog costs $16.99 and comes with chips and a fountain drink.There’s also a kids option available for $9.99 that includes a hot dog, chips and a soda.On the other hand, the New England Lobster Dog is priced separately at $25.99 and comes with french fries instead of chips. In the Poconos location, you can find it at the Fireside restaurant to the right of the lobby entrance.
