    Italian Sausage with peppers and onions
    Richard W.

    When you are craving delicious hot dogs with a plethora of toppings, wonderful, friendly staff who don't mind talking to you while your meal is being assembled; then Dave's Dogs is the spot for you. Even small things like providing masks for customers at a food truck, during COVID, really stand out for me. The dogs are delicious and the toppings are fresh, plentiful and make choosing which dog to have difficult, which encourages me to go back and try different dogs. Dave's Dogs is a must try, find the truck and feast on delicious dogs.

    Great, delicious food! My husband wanted to try it out and it was a hit! I got the Reuben dog and gobbled it up so fast! We shared fries with chili, cheese, and jalapeños. I highly recommend Dave's Dogs.

    Awesome, AWESOME BBQ! Dave's is a bright-red hot dog stand open Sat./Sun. that attracts very long lines of barbecue fans! Among hot dogs, the hut also served veggie burgers, tuna sandwiches, tots, fries, soda, slaw, brats, onion rings and patties of all sorts, toppings, churros, shrimp baskets. A neighborhood grill stand, Dave's Dogs can be seen by its American flag, grill fumes and a white truck that sports license plates: 'Dave Dog'. They set up shop weekends at the edge of a parking lot of a pet groomer and financial advisor. Connoisseurs and grill enthusiasts come to line up early - usually 9am. Students, moms, kiddlins, retirees, firemen, landscapers and travelers take a break from the road for snack, drinks and meats. Ordering the 'Frito Bandito' was easy and it came out fast in a white travel box with clasp. It was a signature dog, topped with chili, Frito Lay chips & shredded American cheese. The flavors - although definitely not culinary haute-cuisine, were strong, Smokey, crisp and bold! As soon as it was done I wanted another - their barbeque is like CRACK! The simplicity, honesty, turnover and price ($3 bucks are you joking?) of Dave's Dogs puts other grill shacks out of business. They do not use cheap or bland bulk-bought meat. The food was incredibly hot and the shack clean. My 'Frito Bandito' made me feel like I was on the trail of Pancho Villa, along Rio Grande! Rebel Review: 5 star smoke hut

    Hotdog and Onion Rings
    Zakia C.

    Who doesn't love a good grilled hot dog? I stopped by on 1/22/23. This was my second time visiting, and I have to say I really like this place - it's like a little taste of Summer backyard BBQ's in the winter. The owner loves what he does, and you can tell. He greets you with a smile, and knows his customers by name! I went with the $7 combo which comes with a hot dog with toppings of choice, fries, tots, or onion rings, and a drink. Everything is cooked to order and is piping hot. I can tell the cook listens as you are ordering because by the time I was finished paying, he was handing me my order. The hot dog was perfect, and the onion rings were crunchy and lightly seasoned to perfection. A great place to stop and grab lunch for the whole family without breaking the bank!

    WOODBRIDGE, VA. - This is a hot dog take-out joint in a small trailer in a parking lot across the street from a Sunoco station. But going in knowing that, you're gonna be glad you try Dave's. Wife and I hit it on a Saturday, 1230 pm. Small line, moved quick. Parking: ample. Staff: friendly and quick and kinda charming. Food : solid. Wife got the combo of a Frito Bandito dog with chili, cheese, corn chips (she had the jalapeños held). Combo came with a side (we got the onion rings) and a drink (can of Brisk iced tea from a cooler). Good dog. Chili was decent, place was not chintzy with the toppings. Onion rings had a nice crisp crunch. $7 I got an Italian sausage ($6) with grilled onions and peppers and a half smoke ($6) with mustard. Niiiice slight charring on the Italian, giving it a slight crunch, and nice slight spiciness of the half smoke. Really filling, $21, and better and cheaper than what you'd get at someplace like Ben's Chili Bowl. Would we make the 30-min drive just for Dave's? Nah. But if in Woodbridge area, definitely worth hitting.

    Designer Dog w/ onions
    Ashley S.

    Oh man! What a hidden gem. Right off of Minnieville Rd, sits a small stand. Don't miss it, because you will truly be missing out. My husband and I had the Designer dog w/ onions. Goodness it was good! The one serving (assuming it was Dave!) was extremely friendly and down to earth. We ordered and received our food within 5 minutes. So no long wait!

    Frito Bandito combo with onion rings and a corn dog corn with tots.  All in for less than $13.
    Brad H.

    This is an excellent food truck (trailer). Hot dogs with all the normal toppings and several "gourmet" variations like a Memphis Dog topped with pork BBQ, PoBoy topped with popcorn shrimp, and a Rueben dog to name a few. All food is made to order, no heat lamps in this trailer! Dave is very personable and loves to talk to his customers, so you may have to wait in line a bit, but it is definitely worth the wait. Inexpensive too. Typically two hod dog combos with sides and drinks come in under $15. I've never had the fries, but the tots come in an overly large portion. Try them with Old Bay. You won't go hungry. The onion rings are outstanding. There's always some special going on, like deep fried "oreos" or something similar. Lastly, look for the "not tips" jar, where all proceeds go to help get dogs and cats adopted from the Prince William County animal shelter.

    Veggie dog with tots
    Sharon Y.

    The Morningstar veggie dog is just OK, totally something I could have made myself at home for less money. I wish they would used a better dog or brat to really make it shine (Beyond Meat, anyone?) I'm assuming their meat options are far superior. The tots were awesome though, especially with Old Bay on top.

There are many option on the menu, but maybe too many options. The full plates is over $30 with 1/2 lbs meat and two side dishes. Parking is easy to find. Overall great experience. I was hoping they have a brisket w/o the bun.

From the outside, it looked decent enough to warrant a stop, and since it's right next door to Grinder's Seafood (seafood lovers, your review is coming next), I figured why not make the trip worthwhile? When I walked in, three ladies were sitting at a small table, and one immediately got up to greet me and take my order. After checking out the menu, I decided on the rib and chicken platter--which does not come with sides--and the rib dinner with green beans and sweet potatoes. Of course, I couldn't resist adding an extra side of potato salad. While waiting, I took in the atmosphere. Dale's has more of a country store vibe than anything fancy, but that just made me think all the real effort was going straight into the food. And clearly, it was. My order was prepared and packed up quickly, but I didn't get the full experience until I made it home--and MAN! The portion sizes were huge. Definitely enough to get your money's worth. The ribs were tender, the chicken was perfectly charred and seasoned, and the sides absolutely delivered. That potato salad especially? Spot on. Dale's may be tucked away in old Indian Head, but it's absolutely worth the trip. If you're in the mood for hearty portions, flavorful barbecue, and no-frills comfort food, this spot deserves a visit. I'll definitely be back for the pork BBQ. Enjoy!

When I parked I think I was the only non pick up truck in the lot, take that as you will. When I walked the place was mostly empty except for one table in the back that was completely full of some dude just sitting around eating. It almost looked like they where having a meeting of some sort and they paused their conversation when I walked in. It was odd. The staff here was pretty nice. Having never been here before I wasn't sure what to order and they didn't seem to rush me. I ended up ordering ribs and she told me since I was sitting down they had all 3 of their sauces at the table. They ribs came out pretty quick and they where all okay. Not the best ribs I have every had not the worst. I thought the sauces where good I rotated which ones I was trying. All in all I thought this place was okay. I don't think I would go out of my way to stop here but if I was passing by and needed some food I don't think I would pass it up.

There were maybe two other tables inside while we were there, and they already had their food, so we didn't think the wait would be too long. The employee asked if we were dining in or getting takeout. We said we were eating in and were told to sit up front. We ordered spicy gambit wings, soy garlic wings, and cheeseling fries. I asked for light powder on the fries because sometimes it's a bit much, and I didn't want too much on them. When we got our fries, they were smothered in powder, wet, and soggy--not even crispy. I asked for an extra basket to try and shake off the powder, but it didn't work because they were wet, and it just stuck to the fries. We got our wings, and they were hot, but they tasted a bit overcooked as they weren't juicy and were a bit dry. As we sat there, a few more tables came in, but the employee seemed as if she couldn't handle them solo because I noticed one couple just waiting for a check. We cleaned our area, put everything in the trash, got our to-go boxes, and went to the register because that seemed like our only way to get the check. When she checked us out, she bypassed the screen for me to get a receipt, which I needed for work. When I asked if I could get one she told me it doesn't work, when I asked for a text version she went back in the screen but it obly allowed for points now a text receipt. I think she needs to slow down and make sure that things can be processed for customers. Or maybe put another person so that everyone is tended to properly

They have a nice semi-private side room for special occasions. This is a very appreciative restaurant towards military/police/ fire/ emergency medical response services. Being in a military family- we have always appreciated how much this restaurant does for the military community. You can choose to buy a plastic cup when you order your food; and some of the proceeds go towards a veteran program. This is the place where you can bring the family or dine alone.
