I Dream of Weenie - East Nashville, Nashville, TN

I Dream of Weenie
in Nashville

A longtime neighborhood favorite
with a fresh new chapter

What started as a local artist’s idea for a lunch stop has grown into a place with real character. Established in 2007, I Dream of Weenie spent seventeen years serving guests from its iconic modified 1971 VW bus before moving into its new brick-and-mortar shop, now known as the only full service weenery in Nashville. Housemade topping combinations, flame-grilled hot dogs and sausages, and daily specials keep things interesting, while the bright dining room, colorful tables, and easygoing setup make it a spot people like to settle into. Come by for a laid-back meal, order online, or plan a get-together with us.
