Award Wieners — Restaurant in Anaheim

I finally felt in the mood for a hot dog and seeing the art deco look of Award Wieners my husband and I decided to have lunch here. I was wondering where the dining area was and I saw a group of tables under cover of Mickey's Philhar Magic. That was perfect for me because I was debating whether or not to get the chili dog.

Instead of doing mobile order with the line not being overly long I ordered at the counter. I got the plant based Philly dog and fries for my husband and ordered the bacon street dog for myself. The bacon street dog comes with red pepper, grilled onions, ketchup, bell peppers and bacon crumbles. The Philly dog is topped with mushroom, grilled onions, and peppers with a crema. Regular all beef hot dogs are also available to order.

The hot dogs come with a side of fries which are filmstrip shaped. If you want to doctor them up then you could order it as a side known as Asada. Mobile ordering is available here.

It took about 15 minutes to get the food and we sat down to enjoy it. This was one of the best hot dogs I had in a long time! The fries were good too. Not too greasy and loved the shape of them. My husband enjoyed his vegan Philly dog and told me it tasted good. The food wasn't overly filling and I was glad since we had a big dinner...

So glad I tried Award Wieners for the first time during my visit to DCA this past week! I figured their menu was a bit basic, mostly hot dogs - and overpriced ones at that - but when I saw their new Lava Dog I knew I just had to try it.

Make sure you order through the disney app prior to arriving in order to save time waiting in line. It definitely helps a lot to be able to view the entire menu and choose what you want, pay through the app then wait for your order to be ready for pickup! Makes life much easier especially when the park is packed.

Now for the food: I ordered the Lava dog ($11.29) and the Asada fries ($10.49). Both were delicious! In all honesty I didn't really know what to expect with the Lava dog, all I knew is that the pulled pork was what caught my attention and interest. the pineapple chutney sounded like a strange topping but honestly I think it was a nice addition to the hot dog. The Asada fries were so savory. I love the cute filmstrip fries, a very fun shape! They were very generous with the marinated carne asada topping also.

The cost of everything on the menu is very overpriced but it's to be expected at Disney. The whole park is overpriced so I didn't expect much else from Award Wieners. But I will say the food was tasty...

Finally got the craving for a hot dog at the Disney parks so I figured I would try out Award Wieners. The pricing for the dogs are relative to all the Disney QSR locations as well, around $7-9 depending on what you get.

They have a great selection of dogs: chili cheese, bratwurst, classic, etc. They also have seasonal dogs which are based off of the movies that have recently come out, like the Tokyo Dog from Baymax and the Brat-osaurus for The Good Dinosaur. Each dog comes with a side of apples or chips and they only have one type of chips and it's the original Lay's.

The size of the dog is actually disappointing. I was expecting something quite bigger than a regular size hot dog for the price I paid. I suppose the taste more than made up for it but I ate the brat-osaurus dog with an onion roll that soaked up pretty much most of the taste... Also asking for sides is an additional charge which I find unreasonable considering other QSR locations in Disneyland do...
