Great tasting hot dogs! The person on the grill looks like he loves what he does and it shows. I asked for a recommendation and left with a yummy bratwurst. 10/10 Customer service and best thing to eat at 1am!

We are glad we tried this tiny restaurant with walk-up service. So incredibly reasonable at $5 for a generous, tasty veggie dog and a tasty bun.

Great hot dogs & buns.... the only thing thats a bummer is the chili is vegan. How can you open a hot dog stand and only serve vegan chili for the dogs. The chili taste more like minestrone soup, its definitely not bad. But it is definitely disappointing If you're expecting regular chili.

What a treat. Total hole in the wall joint serving some of the best grilled dogs you’ll ever find. No seating, it’s grab and go all the way, but that’s part of the charm. The owner has that perfect mix of crusty and friendly that makes the experience memorable.

I had the brat and the garlic frank, both fantastic, smoky, and served on a perfectly grilled sesame bun. Prices are super reasonable, especially for the quality. They take cards, but cash moves faster. Drinks are basic but fit the vibe.

You’ll probably pick up a quick dose of Berkeley street philosophy while waiting in line, which just adds to the fun. Open late, fast service, and full of character.

Bottom line a must-stop gem for anyone near campus. Grab two dogs, some chili, and enjoy the nostalgia.
