Food was pretty solid, definitely better than most places I’ve been to but some major negatives too. First off parking is definitely an issue if the center is even fairly busy. Second food is fairly expensive but at least good I’ll say but to charge me for avocado like other places do granted, but you don’t even include it on the hamburger is a big negative for me. Lastly, when I just spent like $40 for just a couple of items and can’t even get a small cup of ranch but instead get told “ oh that’ll cost you”, like come on seriously even wingstop for example includes a reasonable cup and they’re a nationwide chain. Considering those factors and I don’t live that close by either, not sure if I’ll be rushing back here again when im getting nickel and dimed and part of my order messed up as well when it feels like how much can you spend there is their biggest priority from my experience.

This place had been on my list for a bit so I was excited to try it out. Gotta admit, kind of a neutral experience.

The atmosphere's not bad, if a bit automated with the order screen (granted, it was ~8:30pm). Seats are comfortable enough. I ordered the Sonoran (being Sonoran myself) to compare with the hotdogs you can find on Monterey.

Gotta admit, I was a bit disappointed. It comes bacon wrapped and well garnished. The plate appeal is immaculate. It LOOKS delicious. I came with some expectations and still, it looked promising.

First bite was disappointing. The dog itself is good and decently seasoned. But then I tasted honey bacon that wrapped and garnished the dog. It just tasted wrong. Honey bacon itself is delicious in a variety of situations, but it was definitely misplaced on my hot dog.

It was garnished with avocado (iirc), jalapeños, mayo, diced onions, diced tomatoes and diced honey bacon. The bacon overpowered everything else. The jalapeños did not bite, the avocado was unnoticed and there was not nearly enough onion or tomato.

This is not to say it tasted bad, just more bark than bite.

Also had some garlic fries. They're fairly generous with portions, felt like I ate for 20 minutes straight. Washed it down with soda from a glass cup they provide, which I was pleasantly surprised by since I prefer glassware for drinks.

All in all, a decent experience. Will definitely come again and hopefully find a dog on the menu that fits my taste, cause they have plenty of options (and not all hotdogs!).

Good food .. little disappointed as their main item Angus beef is out of stock. Bad planning as we saw other patrons leaving without placing any orders 😎

Unfortunately the buns are hard and stale. The fries cold. I ordered Mexican coke and got root beer. My 7.95 shake was in a kids cup.
Never again.

I've been here before and the food was good so I thought I would try it again. Was in the mood for a hot dog. Since I didn't feel like driving downtown to find a hot dog vendor,I came here. I got the coney and Texas. The taste is great,but the bag tipped on the way home so they were kinda messy.its very clean inside so I probably should have eaten there.will probably come back again

Some of the best chili fries I’ve had and the Texas Forever hotdog was the right combination of spicy and flavor and the customer survive was amazing.
