Chronis Famous Sandwich Shop

Update June 2023

The snap is back! Delicious and must try for any Angeleno. I don’t miss the dodger dogs anymore, but I sure did miss this place. The one good thing about going back into the office is being able to visit local lunch spots again from my childhood. Had to try my dog two different ways, plain with mustard/chili only and one with pickles/chili, cheese and mustard. Both were great. Maybe my new go to order.

Update Aug 2022 Dogs no longer have the snap and texture I loved :( will try again to see if just a bad day or new recipe. They will lose a star or two if the recipe changed, because that was the uniqueness of these dogs.

Update 10/4/21

I love this place! Best damn chili dogs in So Cal. Tough to get to ELA these days as I don’t live as close as I used to, but worth a trip every now and then.

I actually tried a chili burger for the first time ever and happy I did. Not better than the chili dog, but a good burger with the best chili = really good chili burger. Still had room for a chili dog, as long as i cut out the fries, so all good. Might be my new regular order. Fries are over rated :)

Best chili dogs around. I like mine with everything, which means onions and mustard but also add tomatoes and pickles. Hots dogs have a snap to them and chili is delish. Service is always friendly and if you mention you grew up on this stuff, plan to to talk about some of the glory days with them. Fries are always good and love getting some grape soda which is old school as well. Make sure to grab some yellow chiles too! Prices are fair for the amount of food you get.
