Amazing Brat
The Hot Dogger brick n mortar is in the college town of Davis, CA, right in downtown. An estimated 150 square feet of compact coziness where they serve up seven varieties of dogs including an all beef dog, vegan soy, and the award winning spicy mango chicken sausage. The menu also includes wedge fries, chili, potato salad, potato macaroni salad, and homemade lemonade. The dogs and sausages have a natural casing, giving them a satisfying snap. Quality. Steamed and served on fresh baked buns from the local bakery down the street.
The folks that work here are down right awesome. Yes, over the many years (~30 years)that I have been a customer, various staff have come n gone. But all having a welcoming personable attitude. Just the hotdogger way.
There is no seating indoors, only outdoor. There are tables,outside on the sidewalk, under big beautiful trees that give off ample shade in the summer. Great place to sit, enjoy the food, and soak in the Davis college town's downtown vibes.

The Hot Dogger is such a Davis gem! This place has been around forever, and for good reason — the hot dogs are amazing. Perfectly grilled, juicy, and served on fresh buns with so many creative topping options to choose from. You can go classic or load it up with all kinds of delicious combos — either way, it always hits the spot.
The vibe is super fun and laid-back, with that local Davis charm. Whether you’re stopping by after walking around downtown or grabbing a bite before heading home, it’s the perfect casual stop.
The staff is always friendly and quick, and the prices are great for the quality and portion size. It’s simple food done right — fresh, flavorful, and made with care.
If you’re in Davis and craving a hot dog that’s way better than your average, The Hot Dogger is a must! A local classic that never disappoints.

Just enjoyed a fantastic pair of wieners at their pop-up at Jack Rabbit Brewing! Ivan’s customer service was top-notch. Highly recommend!

These are not great hotdogs. We went because they were on TV. Costco hotdogs are better. Very dirty little hole in the wall place.

They make a really good chili dog. It’s a really small spot with outdoor seating. The people are very friendly. The hours were extended recently. The prices are so steep though! I’d come back a lot more if they could get the prices down. It feels like a lot for what you get which is admittedly very good. I always get the fries which are wedge cut with a great seasoning and ranch.

It like a little secret closet with fancy hot dogs. So good.

I had the Chicago dog and it was a little disappointing. We paid ~9$ for a mediocre hot dog. I would recommend going to some place else for a hot dog.
