    My boys (and hubby) love this place. Hands down best place for a quick bite to eat. They love the hot dogs and smoothies. I'm not a meat eater but the blended coffee is great and made with real espresso. The women that works here is super sweet and and always in a great mood.

There's several tables inside and outside the restaurant. The menu has different hot dogs, chili dogs, specialty sausages and sides. We always get the chili dogs.

Kids hot dog are definitely kid sized, smaller than normal sized hot dogs. Probably best for smaller ones. But all their dogs have a good taste and nice snap to it. Great local spot that hasn't changed in years. Definitely loved by locals and deserves the love.

John and his team have your hot dogs covered for your dining pleasure in western Placer County. It's mid afternoon, Saturday, June 07, 2025, and I'm enjoying the Rocklin Brewfest 2025 and I'm in the mood for a delicious hot dog. I've come to the right place, as Doggiestyle Hot Dogs was on site, and serving hot dogs for all to enjoy. This is a pop-up restaurant that servers hot dogs at events all over western Placer County. I went with a "Quarter Pound Nathan Dog," How can you beat that for a great hot dog? The dog began with a quarter pound Nathan's Hot Dog, which was grilled to perfection by hot dog chef John, on site, at the Rocklin Brewfest. The dog was simply perfect, and fitted perfectly with the large, fresh bun, which was a start for an amazing lunch. On to the condiments! The trip to the nearby condiment bar was worthwhile, as I added a cornucopia of condiments, including mustard, mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, chopped white onion, sauerkraut and especially peperoncini, which is a rare treat for hot dogs. I suppose you could call my hot dog loaded? No ketchup whatsoever, as I never desecrate a hot dog by adding ketchup. Not to mention... may I say my dog was loaded with delicious condiments? One bite into the dog I was rewarded with a refreshing "snap," thanks to the natural casing on Nathan's Hot Dog, which made the hot dog both worthwhile and simply delicious. The condiments I added simply enhanced the dog, and didn't take anything away from the amazing hot dog, and the fresh bun. Such a delicious hot dog! Chef John knows how to grill a hot dog, and the Nathan's Hot Dog he grills are as good as it gets. I tip my cowboy hat to chef John, and his delicious hot dogs! Five star dining for all of you who love a delicious hot dog.

    I love hot dogs in any way, shape or form, and I can say the same thing about a bargain,…read more,especially when it applies to a great lunch. During the month of July, 2025, the Wienerschnitzel restaurant chain was running the bargain of the year: Four "Chili Dogs" for $4.00, plus state sales tax. You can't beat that!! The dining room is very compact - it only seats 24 according to a sign - but it's clean and comfortable. I suppose it's small as most patrons seem to prefer the drive thru or to-go orders. Wienerschnitzel is your typical fast food restaurant, as the menu is listed above the order counter. You make your selection from the menu, pay for it, and when your order is ready, the friendly staff will either call your name or bring your order to you with a smile. Wiener Wednesday in July! Wienerschitzel "Chili Dog," one of four "Chili Dogs," for the price of four bucks. This is truly the "Deal of the Year" when it came to dining for the month of July, 2025! The foundation of the "dog" was a small, hot dog bun, similar to buns you purchase in your local supermarket. The "dog" was on the small size, but perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful. No, the dog didn't "crunch" when I bit into it, as natural casing wasn't included, but that was alright with my taste buds and an amazing bargain for a dollar "dog." The chili on the dog was the sort of chili that you'd find almost anywhere... maybe from a can? ...and sort of middle of the road, both in texture and taste, but... hey... this is a "Chili Dog" and it all worked perfectly for a great early Wednesday lunch in July! Little packages of mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise were available by asking the counter staff, and I dressed my dogs with a package of mustard to add to the taste. These are the same "Chili Dogs" that are priced at $3.39 each most of the time. Do the math... today's score netted a whopping 77% savings over the regular price! Of course these were truly "no frills" dogs, with simply a bun, chili, the hot dog, and the mustard for dressing. But... priced at a dollar each... how could anybody complain? I simply LOVED my lunch and I LOVED the price! You can't beat the price of these regular "Chili Dogs," as each dog normally retails for $3.39 each... and I enjoyed FOUR dogs for $4.00 this month! That's simply unbelievable, but it's true... Keep your eyes and ears open, as the ads only seem to circulate around social media platforms, as you won't even see this offer on Wienerschitzel's web site or in your junk mail. Delicious dogs at a bargain price... Wienerschitzel... located in Roseville, CA.

Cons: did not feel very welcoming. The main server seemed like she was not wanting to be at work, and continued to make snarky remarks back and forth with the cook that we were able to hear. The inside needs a refresh with the decor imo. I feel like it could be amazing if they followed through with either the prison or dam theme more. Smoky inside and needs more ventilation. **adding that after reading reviews, I don't love how the owner addresses concerns toward visitors.

During the off season, he caters to special events, school events, private parties, sports events, and almost any event where fine hot dogs are appreciated. Aaron, the proprietor, along with Kaylee, his assistant, set up shop, and serve delicious hot dogs for the enjoyment of hot dog lovers in the greater Roseville, CA area. The Dog Spot sets up their portable restaurant at Kaesburg Park, located at 1151 Rand Way, in Roseville, CA. The Dog Spot sets up shop at this location every Saturday during soccer season, as Kaesburg Park is one of the more popular locations in the area for weekend soccer practice and patches. The Dog Spot dishes out amazing dogs from 09:00 in the morning until 16:00 in the afternoon. When they're not set up at the park, you'll find them catering to private parties, social events, sports, competitions along with special events, all over the Roseville area. The menu features three varieties of dogs, snacks, candy, drinks and condiments. The sides selections can vary, depending upon availability. Ordering is simple, as you tell the staff which one of the three dogs you want, what condiments or toppings you want added to your dog, then you pay for your order and in a minute or so, you'll be presented with a fine hot dog. You can also order the "Meal Deal," which includes a drink and a bag of chips, and for those with a sweet tooth, candy is available to enhance your meal. My first dog of the day was the "Jumbo Dog," which headlines the menu. As for the condiments and toppings, I went with everything, except for ketchup. The dog was placed on a large, soft bun, with sesame seeds, and placed in a little paper bowl, just the right size to hold the bun and the dog. The chef applied - in this order - mustard, mayonnaise, diced dill pickle, relish, pickled diced jalapeno chili pepper, diced white onion, sauerkraut, and a sprinkle of celery salt, to give my "Jumbo Dog" a bit of a Chicago flair. My dog was fully dressed! When I bit into my "Jumbo Dog," I was rewarded with a crisp SNAP, thanks to the natural casing of the dog, along with a rush of juicy goodness. The topping-to- dog ratio was perfect, along with the meat-to-bun ratio, which made for an amazing dog, and the start to an outstanding lunch. I went for a "Spicy Sausage" for my second dog of the day. Like the "Jumbo Dog," the "Spicy Sausage" starts with a large, quarter-pound sausage with natural casing, so when you bit into it, you're rewarded with a SNAP. It's advertised as "spicy," and it does have a bit of a 'kick" to it, but it wasn't excessively spicy. The heat ratio reminded me of a jalapeno pepper, after the seeds and stems have been removed. You get a little "kick" but lots of amazing sausage flavor! The Dog Spot will satisfy your craving for a juicy hot dog during soccer season at Kaesburg Park, and when they aren't set up at the park, you'll find them dishing out fine dogs at private parties, school events, sports, competitions, along with special events. Catering services are offered, for your hot dog enjoyment! You can't go wrong with the fine service and amazing hot dogs served by friendly Aaron and his crew at The Dog Spot, at various locations, in and around Roseville, CA. Look to The Dog Spot for fine hot dogs at the next event in town!
