Had a bratwurst and a soda on a sunny afternoon. I sat outside and enjoyed my meal. The food is good, the guy at the counter was busy and very cool. Outside was a little busy with people walking by, inside had two stools and a bit small but quaint. Good place to visit again!
A Davis institution! The staff is so nice and friendly. We met them at Celebrate Davis and the food was amazing. We had a hot dog, an Arnold Palmer and a chicken apple sausage. All delicious. Steamed buns are a nice touch.
Great for a quick bite. Only seating is outside and limited but if you’re looking for a tasty on the go snack it’s great. Lots of creative choices. Includes veggie dogs.
Our server Jeremiah was fantastic. Whatever he gets paid needs to be more. Store is run by one person being a superstar. He was super nice and accommodating to my special modifications on my dogggggg. The dogs we ordered were more than what we expected from a hot dog. 👍 the price is worth the fancy hot dog. The fresh lemonade was fantastic, I would go back just for this drink. There is limited seating outside and the ordering station is very small. The store itself can hold 1-3 customers before feeling cramped and overcrowded.
While visiting my daughter in Davis, we decided to stop by this spot to try a hot dog. The person assisting us was friendly, which we appreciated. However, this review is focused on cleanliness — or rather, the lack of it during our visit.
When we walked in, the staff member was cutting bread without gloves. I gave the benefit of the doubt, assuming he had washed his hands beforehand. But as he took our order, I noticed him run his hands through his hair and touch his face. I still hoped he would wash his hands before preparing our food — unfortunately, he didn’t.
After touching his hair, face, and the pen used to write down our order, he immediately went back to handling the bread and assembling our food. This was concerning and honestly, quite off-putting.
In any food service setting, hygiene should be a top priority. Being mindful of how easily germs spread is essential. While the food may be good, cleanliness is just as important — and in this case, it was seriously lacking.
I will def be coming back. I loved the old school hot dog shop feel of this place.
I ordered a polish dog and a Thai dog. Both of which were stellar. I love the fact that they have Russian mustard. Seems like that's a rarity, so it was a pleasant surprise.
The chili cheese fries were delish. If you do not like wedge fries, you might not like these. If you do, these are highly recommended. The cheese, tomato, and onion they put on top make it so good.
Had a great beef dog here with a good conversation with the employee. I highly recommend the jalapeno mustard
so friendly and yummy!
Great place, great staff, really enjoyed my meal but was surprised at the frank in the order. Not great but acceptable. Will be trying a veggie dog or hotlink next time.

Good hot fresh sausage
The hotdogs were mediocre. The chili cheese wedges were ok. Chili tasted as if it were from a can. The service was great! The man was very friendly and brought our food out to us. The napkins were stocked but the tables located on the side walk made you feel as if you were in the way.
