California Hot Dogs — Restaurant in Santa Maria

Updated review!! 1 year later…

Originally left a bad low review due to a poorly made "LA style Hot Dog". We came back for shaved ice and decided to purchase a smash burger and it was delicious! And best of all was the customer service provided by the lady working it just now. She gave me a complimentary upsize on my shaved ice order. Minutes later My wife wanted the LA style hot dog and wow!! night and day compared to last time! I'm glad they perfected their hot dog! I'm a big believer of 2nd chances!

At $8.75 I ordered their priciest item named LA Street Dog not because I was in the mood of ordering their pricier item but because I was in the mood for a “LA style hot dog”. If you ever attended a sporting event in LA I’m sure you’ve came across these very humbled street vendors who create some of the tastiest hot dogs you can ever taste. I’m sure you’re picturing hot they look like as you read this. If you were in the mood for a LA style hot dog, I’m sorry you had to see this image. And I’m sorry this looks nothing like what we would expect if we ordered it from a brick and mortar location. Next time I’ll just cook one at home but disappointed in how dry this “LA street Dog” came out (minimal peppers, can barely tell it had “grilled onions and a very skinny single bacon) oh and I wasn’t even offered ketchup or mustard. Didn’t think I would have to request it while ordering. Will not return if I ever want hot dogs. Might try Delicias in...

Off of Stowell road on the east side of 101 there is a small burger hot dog and shaved ice place called California hot dog. We stopped there today for a little lunch and it was a very nice place. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was pleasant and courteous. I had the Chicago dog combo and my cute little wife had the chili dog she upgraded to you all beef dog but I did not, when I do go back in the future I will upgrade to the all beef dog because it's a little bigger. They did have Coke zero but they did not have the diet Coke I always look for. The food was really good Marilyn got french fries and I got the tater tots so we could both try them. My Chicago dog was excellent and she really enjoyed her chili dog. You could either eat indoors or outdoors so we sat outside and it was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed our food. I see they also offer smash burgers and shaved ice products. Stop in sometime and check...

My wife and I went to California Hot Dogs with our daughter, son-in-law and four grandkids ages 8-18 for the first time Saturday afternoon. WOW!! Five Star all around even with our big group ordering from all over the Menu. Mia took excellent care of us and the two drive-up windows. EXCELLENT SERVICE!! The food was FABULOUS. I had the Coney Dog. Portions, the amount of chili, onions, and all else was delicious and filling. Mia made our Shaved ICE with the Root Beer and Ice Cream a family favorite. It will be my first choice next time my wife and I are in town. I asked her if she liked the fries, her answer "My personal favorite". And KUDOS for the cook he got everything done and served to us HOT!! We loved all sitting in the park-like setting. Can't wait to go back next time we visit the Grandkids....
