Great hamburgers very tasty and delicious, fresh ingredients I love the curly frys to

Ive been coming to Dandy Dogs since I was a little kid. I'm still a big fan of this place although it has been sold many times since the 90's when Jim owned it. Used to play Street Fighter and use the good old quarter and floss trick on this arcades. Loe the food and usually get a big fat chocolate shake to top it all off, Cant go wrong here. read more

The mushroom Swiss burger was so very delicious that I ordered a second. I couldn't resist. I think it's one of, if not THE best burger in the Bay Area. And the owner is super sweet. If you come to Livermore and overlook this place, you are missing out! read more

Great burgers and awesome service! I would highly recommend if your looking for a good burger!

Great place. Their bacon cheeseburger is delicious! Same with the chili cheese fries. And the couple working the place give great service, they're super nice read more

Great place to stop for a quick hot dog or sausage. They have a very expansive menu but I usually just do the sausages or hot dogs. Very friendly staff. They cook the food fresh to order and you can customize it however you'd like. The prices are fair and the establishment is clean. Will certainly be back. read more

Dandy dog has been around a long time. every item is labeled dandy dog, dandy hamburger, dandy shake, etc. they have a dandy small dining area with a couple of dandy tables which had dandy napkin holders on top. menu: hot dog, shakes, hamburgers, fries, onion rings, sodas.... sampling: regular 2.95, got dandy jumbo dog, 3.75 -dandy dog was foot long, chewy, tender, some juice, but no flavor. probably not all beef. barely had any condiments on it: relish, mustard, onions, tomato. leftovers -didn't relish dog. read more

So glad we went here. The dogs are around $5 each- but the size (portion) is great. I had a bratwurst and my husband had the polish sausage. My older daughter had a hot dog. Fried foods (french fries, onion rings) are done well. Milk shake was great, but portion was smaller than I am used to when ordering a milk shake (usually places give you a large glass with some leftovers in another glass, this place just makes enough for one glass). It is true, service can be a little slow since they have a small kitchen and they are family run, but I'd still say it is worth the wait!! If you live in the tri-valley and are craving a dog, this is a good pick. I also saw that all of their meats are halal. read more

Overall training is much needed toppings are very shy on the hotdogs. Cheese is very shy. overall not like it used to be.

Where are places like this back in the greater Oakland area? Grilled. Smoky flavor. Thin slices of (non-crispy) bacon. If crispy bacon is for you, this ain't the place. The burger is solid. It's not a fancy burger place, but it sure hits the spot. The dogs here got different grill marks depending on which you get (some are sideways, etc). Regardless, I found the colossal, polish, and even just the regular dandy dog to just be dandy. It doesn't have a lot of stuff on it, but something about the way it's prepared that makes me like it a lot. Yum! read more

This is my new, favorite hot dog shop. I feel like I just came home from a summer BBQ. I ordered the hot link and the jumbo dog. The hot link is grilled as well as the bun, and it's not over-powered with oil (I only ate one but I wish I'd gotten two). The flavor is delicious, the char was perfect, and I really like that all dogs come with onion, relish, tomato and mustard. So refreshing! The jumbo dog is definitely jumbo, and it's really juicy! I got it with saurkraut but honestly I don't think it needed it. The owners were nice enough to grill the bun for the jumbo as well.. I'll definitely be back here! read more

I used to love this place as I eat Halal and they had a separate menu for halal eaters. But unfortunately, due to change in management they no longer have any Halal options, just Gyros and I believe chicken nuggets. I am absolutely devastated. I used to love their burgers. read more

Food here is excellent and very consistent. Ordered for pick up twice a week through my wife's pregnancy.

The worst hot dog I ever had. Definitely not Caspers nor anywhere near it. I would rather have a hotdog from Costco any day than this one. The condiments were very little and anything extra they charge. The Pepsi was flat obviously they don't change their CO2 tanks. If you want a real hot dog do not go here, don't waste your time or money. read more

Casual dinner style with quick service and delicious food. The man who took our order was friendly and he also prepared the food. We ordered the cheeseburger and chicken strips both with fries. Meals were served piping hot and so tasty. Menu has many hot dog/link options, burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets and strips. Looking forward to returning very soon. read more

Changing this from 3 stars to 5. I like the newer owners. Food is still the same but they always get my order right and it tastes just as good every time. I'm not a huge fan of the chicken wings they added to the menu but I'll give them credit. I'll stick with my polish dogs and fries. I'd eat it everyday if I could! read more

Good old fashioned America here. 50's style hamburger, milkshakes, dogs, and more. The family who owns it also serves halal food for an interesting twist. Been coming here for many years and it's a fun classic Livermore joint for kids and families, or a junk food binge ;) read more

This is my new favorite place to get Hot Dogs & Burgers.. the staff members are so sweet and the place is decorated like a cute 50s diner! Not to mention the food is amazing! read more

We stumbled upon Dandy Dogs after a very long drive head home from the west. Weary, tired and back worn, pulling into a mini mall of a half dozen restaurants we picked Dandy Dog because of its comfort food qualities. Personally, anything having to do with hot dogs are on my list of eats long after sushi, Indian, Duck and even Italian. So I served up with Bratwurst, which surprisingly was huge, perfectly roasted and prettily dress up with just the classic amount of mustard and other condiments masterly laid out for you. To tell you the truth, I haven't seen this before, usually lately, where I've noticed if you are served a hotdog, you're the one having to lay in all the condiments. Not Dandy Dogs.. unlike Costco's $2.50 dog, the buns are dry, you are having to lay down germy sneezed on ground pickles and having to hear cash registers clinging in the background. Those are the better points. ... The restaurant is classic for a mini mall... with cool color images of 50's hot rods (not hot dogs) and Elvis the Pelvis tapping away on a jukebox. I take off 2 stars from a perfect dog all because I made the mistake to use the "employee restroom" . It was clean, but I had to share it with mop and mop water and other supplies. This is important because restaurants, whether fast food or not should have provisions by the health department to provide 1 bathroom and should be handicapped. There is a place for that mop and those supplies.. if not, they need to figure it out. I am glad and grateful that I was able to use it. Never the less, part of that two stars was the fact that if space is tight in the back.. they need to spend some time reorganizing the kitchen. Living like that is hard on the employees... read more

Old fashioned hot dogs...perfect pop when you bite into them. Reminds me of tasty, juicy Chicago dogs!

The made-to-order food is individually served order at a time fresh and hot right out of the kitchen. Burgers are juicy, buns are smokin', and fries are crisp. There is no other restaurant I've been to that can match this right-out-of-the-kitchen delivery. Those used to fast-food fare kept warm by heat lamps run the risk of being surprised by the temperature and quality of this fresh food. I have come to cherish it. Run by a family with a knack for consistent, quality execution, this local business is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Dandy Dogs - So hot, so fresh! - Burgers Near Me - Livermore, California

I love this place. Great food and great prices. Their hot link is super good If you're looking for good food that's easy and fast with good prices look no further. read more

Some friends and I got the Colossal Dandy Dog. It's a half-pound hot dog. We paid extra for Chili Cheese and they were fantastic. The beer-battered onion rings are crispy and the garlic fries are drowned in garlic. The curly fries are delicious. I wanted to try a lot of things on the menu and it's a shame that the drive is about an hour. The whole place is set up like a 50s diner and it's very niche and doesn't try to make itself anything it's not. I really liked that they didn't advertise the colossal dog as a 1/2 lb dog. It's just "colossal." Not for the faint-hearted and weak-stomached. Would come back again if I'm ever in town. read more

Hits the spot. They're a great family run burger joint and I love that they're trying to have a Classic Car Crawl once a month. The ONLY reason for the lack of 5 stars - the hours - though feasible, I wish they were open a little later and on Sundays. Suggestion - If you get a hot dog, be sure to ask for extra of what you like, condiments are typically moderate, however they're more than happy to increase everything for you. read more

A great place for a good hot dog & a burger. Had the biggest hot dog I have ever seen before in my life. It's called the Jumbo Dog. Had to wrap it up & bring the rest home. It has a 50's theme with Elvis on the juke box. It's a mom & pop store with very friendly owners. Good food with a good environment. The only draw back is the pricing. It is expensive. But the portions are big & the food is cooked fresh. read more

Love this place...awesome people and great hot dogs. They are easily the best dog in the area! read more

Dandy Dogs - Awesome hot dogs! - Burgers Near Me - Livermore, California

HOLY SHIT! THESE HOTDOGS ARE HUMUNGOUS! They have the best hotdogs I've had in a long loong time! Huge, great tasting hotdogs! read more

Solid. You'll be upping your HDL to sky high limits, but be assured, the flavor is worth it. Very "normal" menu, with some cool stuff thrown in. Peanut butter shake; sounds odd: actually very good. Cool about this place: it's frozen in time: created to look 50's with that "made in the 90's as a 50's look place" so, it's cliché and cool all at once. The food was very good: fries, ect. They also have a halal selection: which, while may not be some people's needs, it does ensure a level of quality in the meat choices. Overall, fun and good! read more

I grew up off East Avenue and use to go to Dandy Dogs to play Video Games in the mid seventies after school.When there was the old Big T Grocery Store there. And Kavanaugh Liquor's. Changed ownership recently but glad to see the Dogs are still the same since I was a kid. Will always have a soft spot for the old place.I just enjoyed two cheese dogs and loved them.Takes me back to the old days of Livermore.....glad some things can still stay the same. Baughmans,Donut Wheel,Dandy Dogs and more. Beats the new Yuppified and overpriced junk up and down First Street these days.It's like you need to have a beard wear flannels to go have a beer these days in town. read more

Better than Spanky's, not as good as Caspers. I wish Livermore had a Caspers. Anyways. The hot dogs have good flavor, but they are a little skimpy with the toppings. The fries are great. They're relatively cheap. This is a good little lunch spot. read more

Horrible boiled hotdogs by iranians who cannot speak english ...i am totally amazed that hot dog place this bad is still around.Must be sellin suptin else....hotdogs suck and taste like rubber. read more

Bacon burgers were absolutely incredible! This place is definitely a hidden gem... First time visit today, but I'm already looking forward to going back! Prices have gone up a bit, but nothing I worry about! read more

About to go here for lunch again and realize I haven't yet made a review yet! I almost wish I didn't find this gem because I can't not get a shake when I go here and I really don't need a shake. I get the chocolate peanut butter shake and it is AMAZING. Best shake around hands down. I can't comment on the food too much cuz I tend to only stick to a few of the items on the menu. However everything I've had (burgers, salmon burger, shrimp basket and zucchini sticks) has been really great. It's not super fast, but I'm ok with that. Everything is made fresh to order. Customer service is great. Owners are super friendly. read more

I have been going here for about five years. The food here is delicious and very affordable. They have options for everyone, ranging from hot dogs to onion rings to gyros. I especially like their chicken gyros simply because they are DELICIOUS. Ownership has changed several times over the years but the food as remained consistent. This is one my favorite places to stop by. read more

Best hot dog place in town. This is my go-to when I crave hot dogs. Good quality, selections, and toppings. The shop is owned by a humble, modest family who treats all customers nicely. We've been coming here since we were teens. Now our kids love it too. It's definitely a Livermore staple. Way better than Spanky's Hot Dogs or Weinerschnitzel. read more

Just had the best polish dog in a long time! Very friendly there too! Give them a try if you are in the mood for a good dog!

Easily the best hot dog shop on the planet. Staff is always friendly and it never takes too long. I recommend the polish dog with chili and cheese, and chili cheese fries. It is probably what heaven tastes like. The polish dog itself is great, but the chili makes it. They have the best chili I have ever tasted. Seriously, go there now. read more

The owners are wonderful friendly people. The food is amazing and they have a halal menu! My family loves coming here!! It's our favorite burger place! I would highly recommend this place to anyone in the mood for a juicy delicious burger!! The hotdogs are yummy as well. read more

Dandy Dogs - Burgers Near Me - Livermore, California

I have been coming to this restaurant regularly for almost 4 years now and I have to say without a doubt this is my favorite fast food joint in Livermore. I have recommended it to multiple people and they have all said similar things about this place. When I first started coming here it was under different management, different recipes, ingredients and more. Even then everything was on point, the owners were amazing people, the food was delicious, and it was given quickly. Under the new management things just got better. The price went down, the quality of the food changed for better with their signature smashed patties and toasted buttered brioche buns and fresh vegetables. Only thing that might've increased is the wait time, but once you get your food you realize it is totally worth the wait. The location is in a very nice strip mall. Fun fact, every last Saturday of the month they host a monthly car show in that parking lot. It just adds much more to the actual restaurant and it's beautiful 60's themed walls and style so if you plan on going to one of those, Dandy Dogs is the perfect place to stop by. Me and my friends are frequent visitors of this establishment and don't plan on stop coming to our favorite restaurant anytime soon. read more

Nice little burger joint where I love to get some cheeseburger. I also enjoy their hot links as well. read more
