Have been wanting to try Waka Dog for awhile. I follow a local Facebook group and they post from time to time. Small diner feel with great food. I did enjoy the Chicago dog which was my sole intent on going. But upon finding out they have some Mexican food. I tried the Sopa, a corn blend (Masa) that is fried under the taco style toppings. Great stuff. Pictures below. Clean place, good food , quaint and fast. Well worth stopping in.

Waka Dog, smelling like bacon salvation and bad decisions. I had the worst case of the munchies I’ve had all year but I was lucid and on a mission for something wrapped in bacon that could fix my mood and my cholesterol.
Inside is cheerful chaos. Stainless counters, yellow walls, Lucille Ball on one TV, NCIS on the other. The walls are covered in kid art, sports stuff, and random “thoughtful gifts” like five dollar perfume bottles and Dum Dums with a sign that apologizes for what people say when they’re hungry. It’s somewhere between a college hangout and a cholesterol chapel.
I ordered the two dog special (11.99) with a Chicago and a Sonoran, added a smash burger (9), a steak taco (3), a cup of Mexican alphabet soup (3), and a Mexican Coke (3). The waitress was friendly and quick, and when my Coke was gone, she brought a fountain refill on the house.
The Sonoran dog was the star. All beef, wrapped in bacon and buried under pinto beans, pico, queso fresco, and sour cream. Salty, spicy, messy, perfect. The Chicago dog was all discipline and balance, the burger was hot and polite, the taco had punch, and the fries hit that crisp sweet spot without me even having to ask.
By the time I finished, my table looked like a crime scene and my hunger had turned into something close to peace.
Waka Dog is the kind of place where college kids, construction guys, and the chronically hungry all worship the same deep fryer. I came in starving and left full, greasy, and oddly enlightened.
Waka waka waka, baby. Just do it and bring an appetite.

I just found this place and I love it! Loaded fries are my regular. I’ve tried a few different hotdogs. My favorites are the quarterback the Chicago and a simple corn dog with mustard. I’m going to be trying the burgers and tacos very soon

Huge shoutout to my coworkers for recommending Waka Dog—it did not disappoint! I got the street tacos and fries with the works (definitely worth the upgrade). Everything was super flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. Plus, it’s so close by which makes it even more tempting. Can’t wait to come back and try more off the menu!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Michiana and by far the best hot dogs I’ve ever had! Loved their Chicago dog and Coney dog, but I highly recommend you try the Sonora Dog as well! Cozy atmosphere and great customer service. Great prices for all the food my family ordered. Very clean facility. Lots of variety on the menu. Will be returning here with my family again in the near future.

It was game day when we went so they were busy,the woman who took our order was so very nice,she added a side of Mac and cheese on the house for my daughter,the food was wonderful, the best hotdogs since had since I’ve moved to Indiana from Chicago, its small inside,but their food is absolutely great. We decided to try this place cause we saw it on TikTok,and it did not disappoint, 10/10 I’m telling everyone!!!

In town on business and looking for a tasty hot dog place …. Waka Dog Cafe did not disappoint … delicious dogs to say the least … fries were yummy too … had the 2 dog special which included a soft drink, all for a little over $10 … service was awesome as well … Noel is extremely friendly and very helpful … it was my 1st time there and Noel helped me decide what to order, explaining in detail the many different dog choices…. ended up with the coney dog and the other my own creation … and my wait time for my take out was less than 5 minutes … we even got into a discussion about jeep wranglers, which has always been my personal choice …
Thank you Noel and Waka Dog Cafe … all around great experience 4 me …. food, staff, atmosphere AWESOME … cya next time I am in town …
