This place has saved me hundreds, nay, thousands of dollars. Let me explain. When being sent grocery shopping to the local Iggle by my wife, I always stop off here for a few cheese dogs, and maybe some fries. Instead of impulse buying in the grocery store, Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe fills me up, and I stick to the list!

Fans of BHDS that we are (Kay used to work for 'em too), we had to call on this location since I'd never been to it before and because our stomachs were rumbling with hunger after a long Sunday afternoon of shopping, movie-viewing, and general errand-running. Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe's hallmark is obviously their wieners (the cashier chuckled too when I ordered one by that synonym), but crikey if I don't think their tidy, tiny, economical, filling, show-stealing cheeseburgers are what really improve my mood. Cooked flat and crispy without sacrificing moisture, when diners have their burgers topped with their unwaveringly savory and mildly sweet chili and diced onion, The Redhead weeps for her father's larger burgers fall beneath The Frank's fresh ground might. Have that same red lava ladled onto a batch of and ideal hay-pile of their slightly brittle french fries, and your troubles will melt away for a short time. And yes, most of everything BHDS puts out is prepared daily and freshly, either on the premises of each satellite or at a central processing facility. This isn't gourmet. This isn't Franktuary or Station Street gouging the upwardly mobile with pretension, gentrification, trendiness, and sheer fraud. This is just honest quick-serve food made the way it used to be 50-60 years ago, well before The Clown became insane with wealth and power. BHDS doesn't try to be anything it is not and comparing it to more upmarket restaurants of its kind is foolish and lazy. Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe beats (embarrasses?) its competitors by maintaining a menu that is brief, tasty, and philanthropically affordable. I only hope BHDS doesn't become too big for fear of the quality dipping.

The hot dogs here are consistently good, and so are the french fries. I do wonder that they don't offer anything a little more upscale or gourmet. It's your basic ballpark hot dog with chili, cheese and/or onions. If you compare it to Station Street, then you notice that the food here is lacking anything creative or special. But over the years, this shop provides a clean space with a hot dog that time forgot.

This is 'dah bomb' for Pittsburgh food places. Primantis is overated and Mike and Tony's is spread too thin. Great place. Great food. Great service. Great Franchise. Every shoppe has an individual feel and is deeply burgh through and through. the cups are scary and AMAZING. The Moon TWP Hot Dog Shoppe is by far my favorite. Part of the Town. Part of the 'burgh. LONG live it!!

Still lovin' Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe. This one is as good as all the others. A chili dog and some fries from here always put me in a good mood. Very cheap as well and nice employees.

Cute little shop, and the hot dogs taste great (although to be honest hot dogs aren't exactly easy to screw up). Still these hot dogs were pretty excellent, the condiments were fresh and the fries tasted good too. Also the prices are definitely on the affordable side. Great experience all around!
