Located in the popular neighborhood called Eastown inside Grand Rapids, Yesterdog is a MUST! Yesterdog's claim to fame is that it was the inspiration for the restaurant 'Dog Years' in the first American Pie movie. The menu features six hotdogs ranging in price from $2.00 - $2.50 each. In addition, feature items include bags of chips and fountain pop. My favorite hotdog is the Ultradog. It is a combination of a hotdog and a steamed bun, topped with chili, cheese, onion, pickle, ketchup, and mustard.

When you enter Yesterdog be cautious as you prepare to place your order, as there are specific ordering rules that must be followed. If not, be prepared for some attitude from the staff!
The Ordering Rules:
1. When entering Yesterdog PLEASE walk down to the end of the counter.
Form 2 lines if needed.
2. We take HOT DOG orders FIRST. We start left and move right.
3. After dogs, we take drink orders, after drinks we take chip orders.
4. Once all dogs, drinks and chips are ordered, we will then begin to charge you for your order.
5. Once you are paid up you will then get your dogs on a tray or bag and seat
yourself.
Leaving a tip is always the highlight for my husband when we visit Yesterdog. Customers are encouraged to toss coins into a old gramophone horn on the wall behind the counter. This may be the only time you can throw your loose change and not be haunted by your mothers voice telling you "don't throw things at people!".
As you seat yourself you may feel like you are walking through an antique store. The decor takes you back to the '30s or '40s. Coca-Cola signs, a jukebox, and other nostalgic decor fill the narrow restaurant, The dining booths have been carved with the names of boyfriend and girlfriends over the years (yes, I have left my mark). This makes for an atmosphere that is unparalleled to any other. Normally hotdogs are thought of something you put on the grill in the backyard or have at the ball park. However, this vintage dive makes a hotdog a work of art. You have not had a hotdog, until you have had a Yesterdog!
