Hot dogs, the most American of meats, earned their patriotic reputation thanks to consistent baseball attendance, a staring role at Fourth of July picnics, and their inability to navigate a roundabout. Salute patriotic provisions with today's Groupon: for $4, you get $8 worth of hot dogs, drinks, and more at Voodoo Dog.

Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown and the Florida State University campus, Voodoo Dog boasts a meat-centric menu of bun-bundled comestibles. Cast a spell over tired taste buds with the signature voodoo dog ($3), which is wrapped in a bewitching bacon blanket, deep fried, and can then be dressed with a choice of enchanting toppings such as relish ($.25), sautéed onions and peppers ($1), or baked beans ($.50). Or, drive a boorish breakfast sausage mad with jealousy by starting the day with the wake-n-bake dog, a bacon-wrapped link smothered in melted cheese and topped with a fried egg ($4.50). Burger buffs can cure a protein deficiency with choices as varied as the PB&B burger, topped with peanut butter, bacon, and cheddar cheese ($8), and the veggie burger, a meatless patty topped with swiss, onion, lettuce, and tomato ($8), both of which are accented by a side of Voodoo Dog's homemade fries.

Reviews

The Tallahassee Democrat and the TallyCast reviewed Voodoo Dog in 2010. Ninety-one percent of more than 45 Urbanspooners like the restaurant and seven Yelpers give it an average of 4.5 stars.

• From bacon to pineapples to barbecue sauce, you name it and you can probably get it on a hot dog at Tallahassee’s newest doghouse, VooDoo Dog—a hot dog place like no other in town—whose house dogs provide an option for just about every taste or craving. – Michael Ferraro, Tallahassee Democrat
• The decor matches the name perfectly- off-beat and full of cult classic images. – Carolyn Coney, Urbanspoon
