Steve's Hot Dogs, founded by musician Steve Ewing of The Urge, is the home of the Official St. Louis Style hot dog. Voted Best Hot Dogs in St. Louis, the smoked all-beef hot dogs at this legendary local eatery are second-to-none. It all starts with a fresh-baked hearty companion bakery bun topped with a cold smoked and grilled Nathan's Famous dog, each one topped to perfection with creative combinations of toppings.
Steve's Hot Dogs is also known for some of the best smashburgers you're going to find. Steve's award-winning smashburgers are made from a blend of chuck, angus and sirloin - try it classic style or topped to the hilt. Pair with "St. Louis's Best French Fries" (St. Louis Magazine) or one of a selection of local beers and brews for the perfect lunch or dinner.

First time at Steve's, people and service were exceptional. Dog not thorough cooked. Ice cold in the middle. 😒

Our family loves Steve’s Hot Dogs. Not just great food; great human beings!
My 7-year-old asked for a Steve’s Star Wars shirt for Christmas. It was no longer available in-store and I couldn’t find kids sizes online, so I reached out via fb messenger, thinking they might have some laying around somewhere. No such luck, but they went ahead and printed a new batch of kids tees just in time for a perfect Christmas present!
Excellent local business doing great things in the community beyond serving delicious dogs.

I heard about this place on TikTok and it wasn’t over rated. The dogs and burgers are fire. Definitely do not pass on this place! P.s we drove over a hour to try it. Will definitely be back.
We do! We have gluten free buns and can also do our hot dogs can cut up and put in bowls without a bun with toppings on top. Your choice! We've got you!
