About

If you're a late-night hot dog lover who'd rather skip the frills, Yesterdog is your spot. This fast-food dive in Grand Rapids' Eastown neighborhood has been serving chili dogs since 1976, with booths covered in decades of patron graffiti and walls plastered with old advertisements. It's dog friendly and has outdoor seating, but the vibe is all about no pretense.

Yesterdog is open until 2am on weekends, filling a gap for post-bar food that the owner noted was missing when he started the place. Don't expect fries or anything deep-fried; the sides are bagged potato chips. The best chili dogs in town, according to regulars.
