Hot Dog on a Stick Review

Small location no sitting area however the beach is right behind u:)

How to restore a new inside dog on a stick is a must have at the Santa Monica Pier

Good corn dogs, great lemonade. Been going there for 50+years! Great institution of Santa Monica.

The lemonade is delicious and servings are generous.

I went here many years ago. I was dying for the day to come from the east coast back! Made fresh in front of you, and they are awesome. Worth trying again and again.

Good
Memories here

Some of the best dogs in town. Make sure to stop by every time we hit the pier. My absolute favorite is the bacon wrapped hotdog, they call it a street dog paying homage to the hotdog vendors outside the Los Angeles club scene. straight fire

Sad story. Two girls working the shift let us know it was closed. I check the time and it s 5:55pm. Had no idea they closed at 6pm. I get it, they re tired but from my understanding from working fast food in the past, you take orders until actual closing time. It was 5:55pm on February 20th. They had no mercy.

I use to LOVE Hot Dog on a stick.

How hard is it to make good lemonade?

Very expensive and the food wasn't that good.

Waste of money.

Great lemonade. I bought a large plastic cup and always bring it back for a $3 refill when i go to the pier. Unfortunately the employees are lazy and throw out their bad lemonade right outside on the floor next to the trash can. They also manage to open up to an hour late and close up to 30 early. They can also be a bit rude by being on their phones when a costumer is waiting to buy something. If it wasn't for the employees this place would have 5 stars.

Shop near Santa Monica Pier, famous for its cone docks and lemonades. There is one house. The price is more than double that of Japan.

Please get new management.!
I didn't get my corn dog. After 25 minutes, I realized it's just not worth it. Went back to the beach with my drink.
Note :
I noticed while waiting that the lady who was making the corn dogs was in midst of dealing with a customer (who was clearly unsatisfied) to come back later and she would give her free tickets to a show to compensate for the mix up.

This place is ALWAYS CLOSED. 5:48 pm and closed!!!! 6:30 and closed again

Daughter chose this as our spot to try for the month. Great choice! Smaller than expected, but wonderful service, clean, and excellent food made with fresh ingredients. Who would have thought- sushi toppings on a hot dog? And those sushi tater tots...mmm mmm good. We will definitely return!

A classic beach joint! Order a corn dog and a lemonade and enjoy the beautiful Santa Monica coast!

I met my friends at a mini reunion on Santa Monica Pier. Since hot dog on a stick was right there we ate there.
Hot dog on a stick is like carnival food but healthier! The only corn dog that didn't get me sick.
Tyra Banks said ti was her first job. The movie Charlie's angels had a scene there.

I have loved it since I was a kid .my favourite is cheese on a stick and a large cherry lemonade.... Yuuummmm!!

the Hawaiian bread they use in the sandwiches is mind blowing and so creative. I love hawaiian bread so very much and im so happy I discovered Dog Haus. This place is great!

Just what i need when i am in the area. Quick, delicious, and allow you to walk and eat at the same time. My nephew is in love with their corn.
It is a little too sweet for my taste, but still they deserve a positive review.

For $12 you can get a box of fries, funnel cake fries, 2 corn dogs and a large lemonade! If you re super hungry you can eat this on your own and be satisfied. Otherwise, share with a friend and enjoy the beautiful Santa Monica views. Can t beat views like this!

Located literally on the boardwalk, hard to miss. The employees were super friendly - they made our order fresh - including the fries! It takes about 7 minutes but it s so worth it.

Eating my box brought out my inner child. They have delicious tasting hotdogs with the perfect kind of corn meal - balanced half sweet half salty. Their fries are nice and crunchy. And yes their funnel cake fries were hard to stop eating!!

Good location, but not much to sit around.

Got the typical dog and lemonade.
I liked it. Price was mildly higher, but it is right there by the Pier.

Why wouldn't you just call it a corn dog? This place had a lot of homeless folks hanging around and begging.

Portions are small.. I spent $20 on myself and still hungry. Hot dogs are the cheap kind.

Nothing tastes better than that lemonade on a beach day or a cheese on a stick!

Old pier classic. Don't look for healthy options but great memories

Good hot dogs on a stick and fried cheese on a stick. I got the proper jack cheese on a stick and it was delicious!!

If you like crippling food poisoning then this is the place for you. My sister and I ate here on 12/7/19 and both ended up with the worst food poisoning imaginable. I will spare you the details but please avoid.

I would say they stick to their recipe. I ordered hot dog on stick. Due to the long line what you'll get is freshly made but for some reason wasn't warm. It cost $4.50 and large size lemonade $5. Should try anyway

Not as good like it used to be. Quality went down. My corn dog was very oily and not crispy on the outside. When I mentioned this to an employee she told me in a rude voice that I got what I paid for. Since I have to pay for this overpriced corn dog I'll go elsewhere and get something better for the same price.

If you're looking for a bit of "historical" nostalgia that is very U.S. of A., as well as some great 'gram pictures, then you've got to check out Hot Dog on a Stick at this location! The food is straightforward, the lemonade good, but the setting is great. Located steps from the sand, people watching here is top notch, as is the feel of "Americana". This is more of a stand than a restaurant, so order, walk over to the beach or find a bench, chow and relax! Note that glove laws in L.A. don't currently require food handlers to wear them, so don't be freaked out if a few, one, or none of the employees are using them. Enjoy the setting, the novel idea of the food, and the colorful uniforms!

Ate here again for the first time in 20 years. Was better than I remember.

I always have to stop to pick up some food on a stick and fresh lemonade. Tastes like it should. Usually pretty quick

Does what it says on the tin. Best corn dogs and lemonade!

Hot dogs are overpriced! The service is horrible... they dont use gloves! I ewww . I was waiting for my order for about 25 minutes. DON'T COME HERE! IF I COULD I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS!

I want to say this is the best one I've been to, the dogs were perfect. And I love the lemonade original

Great place to experience, they invented the corn dog there

This is another must visit spot when you re in Southern California. Lots of history too!

In (2002) I met actress Rene Zellweger at THIS corn dog stand and happily bought her a corndog. She was filming a 'Pepsi' commercial over on the pier.

Classic place that has hot dogs and lemonade, and they even have veggie dogs now!

You must have tried this once, but did not find it super tasty, but typical American fast food.

This is a great place and my favorite lemonade is here some of the best I've ever had,plus kids love this place trust they'll devour at least 2.......fries are ok....

Nothing beats a corndog on the beach. They also have cheesedog options for the vegetarians.

The best flags in all of California. Pretty expensive but worth it. Prepared at the moment and very good taste and quality.

It's a good corn dog, not much parking as it's by the beach but we didn't have a problem parking quick and running over to get one fast. Would recommend if you're looking for a corn dog

Horrible customer service. Quite frankly seemingly unsanitary; one girl was picking something out of her co workers hair before proceeding to dip our hot dog into the batter. No use of sink to wash their hands, no gloves & long acrylic fingernails.

I always make it a point When I am bikr riding to stop here for a fresh lemonade or a hot dog. This place is the best. Totally worth waiting in line.

Such amazing food! My favorite is Cheese on a stick! Sad that they are no longer available where I live.

Great great dogs. And the lemonade is just like back in the day when we drank lemonade and not booze.

Good place for a quick snack. Plus its the original Hot Dog on a Stick!

Food was good and consistent

1 employee argues when I told her to refill the ketchup and napkins. It was strange.

HOWEVER only 1 employee out 4 handling food was wearing gloves

The Corn Dog maker, fries maker, and batter maker had no gloves
But the lemonade maker did

What is wrong with that picture?

Stopped by for a quick bite. Visiting from out of town. Some of the best corn dogs we ve ever tried. Dipped & cooked to order. Holy fantastic!

Other customers told me this is a historical one. It does look very old but with good food. The lemonade tasted fresh. Corn dog and lemonade make a great combination. Try the fries too.

Melanie was great customer service, happy will be back thanks

Deep fried junk food madness in the form of a breaded hot dog on a stick with sugary lemonade and it IS what it IS. I would give it 1 because I hate this kind of food but my son's friend and my son LOVE IT and would give it a 10. So I am basing my review on their happiness factor....oh and I am a bit of a fool for fries so there's that.

a fading reflection of 1970...the atmosphere, of course, and the teenagers squishin the lemons, and clientele have changed so very much, but not the uniforms, the machines, or the cheese (and DOGS!) on the sticks. i think they still use the same sticks...
some may say, "over-priced", and you will read others', "unsanitary", but you'll see me going out of my way to visit SM each trip to SoCal.
from me, nostalgia can get a fourth star.

save me a ticket for the Merry-Go-Round, Lulu!

One of the best corn dog stand and a must-try fresh lemonade (lite, no sugar) !

Great place for trying a new type of hot dog. Great flavors, great atmosphere, lines not too crazy. Overall great visit, definitely recommend to friends.

Yummm! Nothing beats a lemonade from here while on the beach!

Our actual meal was fine but our bikes got stolen right out front from the bike rack after we turned our heads to pay for our order and the cops didn t care or help at all.. bummer

Beef, Turkey, and Veggie hot dogs get dipped into batter when you order. All tasty! There are regular, blueberry, and cherry lemonade options, plus fries and funnel cake sticks!

This is my favorite place to eat. My parents would bring me here since I was a kid. Many times on my birthday, friends would ask to take me to eat, and this is the only place I want to come to on my birthday since it brings back so many More

A favorite every time I visit LA. A must have...cheese on a stick!
