    Drove up in a weekend grabbed something to eat while waiting to head to Hobbs grove. Small hole in the wall but lots of tourist from all over the place. Food was delicious the customer service was great.

    Chili-dog & fries
    Chuck V.

    Best chili-dogs in our local area, we always call in, they are courteous, friendly & professional. We never order anything else other than the dogs & fries.

    Happy Summer from Chuck Wagon!

    Wow, I have never reviewed Chuck Wagon?! Maybe since I've been going there since 198.......... Delicious chili dogs and fries , all these years the recipe has not changed and it's delicious every time! Walk up order and pick up window only, classic :) They are closed Wednesday & Sunday. My dad likes the Burrito Deluxe which is their famous chili, cheese and onions and lettuce over a small deep fried burrito . Ben loves the chili burger without cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Eat at home, on their picnic table if available or take to Pine Flat or nearby park....do not eat in your car! Too juicy, too delicious, sit down and savor it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This photo is not from chuckwagon, but this is a good example of how your buns are too short chuckwagon.

    Hey Chuck Wagon get longer hot dog buns! They used to be longer and the hot dog didn't stick out on both ends of the bun. Make brewed iced tea instead of instant. That instant tea sucks! The food is still good but don't cut corners to save a dollar. People come back to Chuck Wagon because of consistency of the food. Try to keep it like it was 50 years ago. Note: photo is not from Chuck Wagon it is just an example photo.

    Chuck Wagon is a classic staple in the Central Valley. I hadn't been in over 10 years, and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Ordering is done at the window, and there was less seating than I remember, but the service was quick. The chili brought back so many memories and was definitely worth the visit. We tried a little bit of everything--burgers, chili dogs, chili fries, and more. My only complaint was that the burger had too much mustard; even with the chili, the mustard overpowered the flavor. Overall, it was a nostalgic and satisfying experience!

    Do they have indoor seating?

    No . Patio seating or in your car. Think of old drive in style

Located in a scenic agricultural area on the outskirts of Sanger, the restaurant is housed in an impressive original old school house. Check out the original plans of the school site and buildings posted in the interior hallway. The high ceilings and open layout make for a great atmosphere, though be warned: the noise level is quite high, as there isn't much to absorb it. Our server, Jacob, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and we especially appreciated that he included the prices of the daily specials upfront. Here's what we had for dinner: * Crab Fritters: Spectacular. The sweet red pepper sauce and the generous crab portions were beautifully presented. * Mixed Greens: A lesson in simplicity done right. It was perfectly dressed and easily shared between two. * Mahi Mahi: A standout special with a perfect sear and a moist center. * The Steak: Ordered medium and delivered as such, though it was a bit tough and felt "buried" under the heap of potatoes, onion rings, and asparagus. * Bari Lemon Olive Oil Cake: Do not let the name intimidate you! It was the star of the show. Moist, perfectly paired with fig ice cream, and large enough to share. The kitchen was unfortunately very slow. A large party of 20 on the patio seemed to back things up, leading to long gaps between our courses (though dessert arrived quickly). At nearly $200 for two, the pacing and the tough steak brought the experience down slightly, but the stellar service and elite appetizers/desserts still earn this a solid 4 stars.

We sat at the bar and didn't get helped until about 10mins after while they sat everyone else. Unfortunately there was the "bartender" and one waitress for the whole restaurant. So sadly we were attended to as often as we needed. Like when the food came we had no napkins or utensils. We asked for some and took about 5mins to have them brought over. The bartender was very apologetic throughout but instead of saying sorry everytime she saw us help us out. My husband ordered the tritip sandwich with chili. The gave him fries so we had to ask for the chili. I got the pulled pork and sweet potato fries. Everything was good. We ordered a salad to go and it took less time than anything else.
