Boston's Best Ballpark Hot Dogs Outside Fenway

You don't have to be inside Fenway Park this season to sink your teeth into a juicy hot dog that will knock your Sox off. Right in the Fenway and Kenmore area there are many sports bars and food carts ready to serve up the steamy, delicious treats. No, they are not the beloved Fenway Franks, but whether you like your hot dogs covered with all the fixings or served simply, you are sure to find a favorite at one of the following five spots.

Located right behind Fenway Park, Tasty Burger is perfect to either grab a picnic table or head indoors to sit at the bar or tables. The menu features six different "Shafts" ranging in price from $4 for the 1/4 pound Junior dog all the way up to the All the Way dog (that you have to see to believe) for $12. Tasty Burger makes the All the Way dog by taking burger, a 1/2 pound dog, bacon, chili, cheese, and scallions and loading it into a hearty roll for diners to indulge on. The restaurant even challenges guests to take down three of these colossal hot dogs, in the Tasty Burger Challenge, for a spot on the Wall of Fame.
