Tail O' the Pup

We were quite disappointed with our chili dogs,which we were eager to get.Unfortunately, the dog itself was tougher than tough.The chili had so much spices that it almost tasted gritty.The place itself is really cute,but I would recommend the steamed dog unless you like extra tough skinned dogs.

Where to begin?
First and foremost I want to say that the lovely young lady at the counter was very warm and friendly. She was eager to help whenever she could. That was the best way to start this experience.
Now I had the Chicago Pup which I truly enjoyed but it seemed a little less after biting into the jumbo corn dog. The batter was extremely flavorful and had a great texture. One of the best I have had and I will have again.
As for their chili, it had a great flavor and with the perfectly fried spuds it was amazing. I had two issues during my visit. One was I didn’t like mustard being in the chili dog and two the soda mix that was a bit off. It won’t keep me from going back at all. Thank you Tail of the Pup for a great meal!

First time here. My friend and I stopped for lunch while we were in the area, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the corn dog combo with fries and a drink and she got the 1946 Pup combo. The fries were deliciously crispy and not overly salty. My corn dog was perfectly crunchy on the outside with a nice soft/sweet cornbread coating surrounding a perfectly plump hot dog. The decor is super cute, and our food came in the most adorable little trays in the shape of a dachshund. Fun fact we learned, The Doors recorded the lyrics for the song LA Woman...how cool is that?!?! They also have some cute merchandise for sale...so I had to get t-shirt. ☺️

If you love genuine vintage LA culture and perfect hot dogs and burgers, this is your place. The fact Jim Morrison sang in the bathroom is just an extra. And don't let the hot dog fool you, they also have the best burgers around, thanks to that crispy cheese.

A solid chili dog. From the snap of the dog, to the subtle sting of the chili (or was the pup a red hot?), not to mention the cute tray the pup comes in and the curbside Tail O' the Dog stand is worth the stop. Tail O' the Pup is Kitschy, no doubt. From the street side stand shaped like hot dog in a bun, to the Disney-esque stack of pickle, buns, ketchup, and mustard crates. Apparently stands like this that were as much road side attraction as place to get a meal were popular in earlier days of Los Angeles when California's car culture was developing, a way to draw in clientele. Currently located on Santa Monica Blvd. near the intersection with La Cienega and just up La Cienega from where it originally opened in 1946. There were two bike parking spots next to the stand.

The good was fine. We love hot dogs in natural casing and they didn't disappoint. The fries were average. It was fun to try this place because it's iconic.

I was hoping the jumbo corn dog would’ve been good. First time going there. It took over 25 minutes to get the corn dog. It was OK would I come back I don’t think so

Charging $10+ for a Chicago hot dog is absolutely outrageous! A hot dog! $10 lol it’s honestly a joke. The employees aren’t even welcoming. Spend your money literally anywhere else. This place should close down again soon.
