Cute spot! Love their burritos and salads and their chilli dogs! I've been coming here with my family since i was a kid. Now i bring my kids here. The ladies that work here are amazing and always friendly. Nice place to sit down and relax. Good location, clean, good parking, always fast.

I was looking forward to trying this place because of the reviews. I'm going to be nice and give three stars because the food was good. The business and their practices deserve two stars. I ordered the house dog and the chili dog both were good. I wasn't blown away but they are just hot dogs. Here's the thing they charge $3.25 for what MIGHT be at the most a 16 oz soda. That's high even for a fast food restaurant that lets you GET REFILLS. I haven't heard of a place not allowing refills on sodas from a soda machine in .... 20 years (?) Lisa's doesn't allow this and has their machine behind w a big sign saying so lol. This sends a STRONG message to your customers. We are cheap We don't trust you to not abuse the number refills you take. I mean at least sell bottled 20 oz sodas if you don't want to deal w the machines and refills. Once I figured this out I asked for just a little ice. A woman I'm assuming is Lisa (?) was clearly annoyed as she dumped out the ice and started over. To be fair the ice probably cost her $ .000000008 lol Once I got my food I asked for ketchup and mustard to go. They were totally flustered and surprised by that question. Ummm you own a hot dog restaurant! You have never thought of or been asked that before? Come on people. I was told " well there is ketchup on it" (there wasn't) while she scrambled to put together a container. I declined because I was already annoyed to be honest. $21 for two hotdogs and a small soda is crazy. I'm sorry but I won't be back

I know Lisa from high school, she started her business and continues 40 years later. She is the best ingredients and never skims on quality.The quality of the hot dogs, and the homemade potato salad Outshine any other competitor. She still does things the same way. Best damn hot dog I have ever had, and I've been from coast to coast Hampton North to South.

If you miss the OG Kasper's (Kasper's with a K, one of a kind) on Telegraph in Oakland, Lisa V's is a hidden gem at the edge of Concord that reminds you of the OG restaurant. A friend and I were looking for a place that grills hot dogs or sausages like Top Dog in Berkeley. Our search popped up with Lisa V's even though they do not grill the hot dog so we headed out to try. We were both pleasantly surprised. I had two traditional hot dogs with relish, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes and mustard which made it easy to eat. I also had potato salad which is homemade and tasty. My friend had a hot dog with sauerkraut and a taco. I thought the taco was unusual for a hot dog restaurant but my friend said the taco had really good flavor and the meat was tender. He said for it not being a Taqueria it was a nicely constructed taco. The hot dogs have a little bit of a snap when you bite, a tinge more of spice than a Casper's (with a C) hot dog, good flavor, perfectly steamed bun and perfect blend on condiments. For a great hot dog, this the place to east of the Caldecott Tunnel. To fill that hood hot dog craving, Lisa V's won't disappoint.

Their food is delicious! We usually get the Asian salad, nacho salad, tacos, burritos and brownies. They never disappoint! I love this place and I’m so glad they’re still thriving after all these years. Also, the potato salad is amazing!
I went to Lisa's for years when I lived in Clayton from the 1980s until February/2013. Despite how I'm now in Martinez and therefore am out of the way, I still come in here when the opportunity arises. The quality is still just as amazing as back when I first began patroning Lisa's as a young boy. Lisa truly cares about delivering excellent food to her customers and also loves them. When I think of exemplary small business owners, Lisa definitely comes to mind. There was one instance years ago where my mom pulled up in her car and Lisa knew her hot dog order by heart. She actually made up a hot dog for her right before she approached the counter. That's how professional she is. Her staff, including her sisters Dayna and Sue, are also terrific as well. I love to order the cheese dogs, burritos (whoa are those filling!) and potato salad. I just started eating the potato salad last year upon seeing the glowing reviews of it here. It's delicious! Highly recommend! I'll continue doing business with Lisa V's. Thanks for the terrific service! Please support your local small business and get a yummy bite to eat at Lisa V's, too!

Lisa may not remember this I remember this place when I was in high School best dog in town, it was around for a while then I think it closed and another place was there for a little bit also good burrito at that place but no hot dogs but then she came back and she came back better in my opinion. It is places like these that make Concord the special place it is.Thank you Lisa
One of the best place for chicken, pork and beef tacos ☺️

Was in Concord today and wanted a hotdog chose Lisa v's. Hot dogs were delicious. The potato salad is home made and really tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Sorry I didn't take a picture.

Good hot dogs & an affordable lunch considering all of the inflation. Didn't get it this time, but the potato salad really is GREAT! Happy to support a locally owned restaurant!

Lisa's has been my favorite place since high school was many years ago. My son grew up on them as well. It started as Lisa's house of hot dogs and is now Lisa V's. It has been a minute since we have been there. Git chili dogs today. Very surprised to see the very limited amount of chili given and canned poor flavor. Not the chili dogs that we know and have loved for over 30 years. Very disappointing. I also was amazed that they are requiring the customer to pay extra for not paying with cash. She said she " can't afford to pay the credit card charges anymore". That is the cost of doing business. You can't expect us to be alright with being charged 3.5% extra to Pay for the product we are purchasing from you to cover your credit card fees. Doesn't seem like a huge amount at all, but the principal is large. Cash is the least used form of currency. Charging me for not using it is ridiculous. Sadly, This may be the last time we support her and her business.
