“I got there like 10 minutes before closing and they were still happy to take my order. Friendly staff. Food was great.

Vegetarian options: Veggie burger was very good. Not sure what brand or if they make it themselves, it wasn’t Impossible or Beyond, more of like a black bean consistency“

“Oh snap. I dropped in less than a hour before closing on a weekend, probably not the best time. I have been here several times before many years ago though. Good memories of a classic hot dog. But this time was different.

Dad’s Hot Dogs is a Stockton, CA, legend. They have been around since 1979. Classic 1980s hot dog counter joint complete with coin twist candy machines. But with modern feels. Not locked in time. Different owners now from the original. They use the same hot dog brand. If it ain't broke.

There was one staff person and she was a one person crew. Cashiering, putting the orders together, and cleaning up. She was helpful with a calm, pleasant easy going demeanor. I ordered a kraut dog and hubs a dog with onions, relish, tomatoes, and mustard. The dogs were on the softer side, probably left in the steamer a bit too long. Because of that, they didn't have a snap to it. But the snap is an iconic part of a quality hot dog eating experience. It is so satisfying to hear it and feel that bite. The buns tasted soft steamed as well. I also ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade. It was mild tasting and definitely tasted home made. The sauerkraut was in the perfect middle meaning not crunchy and not overly fermented to have a sour taste.

The seasonal fresh lemonade is an awesome down home touch. If you like it extra sweet, just add sugar yourself and adjust. I like it the way it was. Hubs brought on the sugar. $5 for 32 oz. They have 7 flavors beyond the original.

I am bumping my rating by a star to four; they just need to work on the hot dog rotation to make sure they do not sell any mushy dogs through closing time.“

“The Knockout burger was delicious as well as the Avocado burger. But that five star sauce was to die for. My kids enjoyed the Chicken strips and 20 piece nuggets.“

“I bye my Dad food after work. Went to A&W on Charter/Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Ordered, received my food and left. My Dad enjoyed the meal. When I arrived home I realized I left my Visa Card behind. When I called to inquire about my card, the Manager (I assume) told me he would hold it for me until the following day. When I went to pick up my card the doors were locked, but a nice gentleman worker throwing away boxes assisted me. When he handed my card back, it was in an envelope with my name on it and the gentleman proceeded to tell me that Manager put my card in the safe. What an awesome feeling to come across honest good people and I just want to give these people a big THANK YOU! To the teller at the drive thru, the Manager and the worker who assisted me. God Bless and keep up the great work.“

“I have childhood memories of my father would give my a break from cooking for the family. He would make hotdogs for us and send me and my brother to buy a cup of Chili from Der Wienerschnitzel for our home made dogs. I would eat there every chance I got and as I grew up and had kids of my own I took them there and my kids took their kids there. The same Wienerschnitzel is still there.“

“This location on March lane has me hooked again. Last visit at another location had me debating if It will satisfy my cravings. I got the two chili dogs with corn dog and chili fries at a great value. Was so fresh than last time and so tasty. And customer service was good the girl was so polite and packed everything well. Great experience satisfied my cravings and im full. Thank you. Food was at its finest. Il be back and craving this more often.“

“Our first time to eat here. Staff was great friendly, & knowledgeable. The food was great too!“
