This was my 2nd time giving them a try. This place is very similar to Caspers, same toppings, buns…read moreand dogs except the Polish, the chili and cheese. They also offer shakes, but I only tried the hotdogs. Chili Cheese Dog (4 Stars) with onions and mustard. The Chili was mostly beans, but better than Caspers. You can tell they use beef, but it should be a lot more. The bun and dog are same as Caspers. The cheese is fresh grated cheddar cheese, better than Caspers. Polish Dog (4.5 Stars) with everything, which is the same as Caspers mustard, sliced onion, sliced tomatoes, sweet relish. The Polish is not Caspers Polish. They use a good quality Polish sausage, not sure what brand but something like Saag (Not a hotdog style Polish like Miller's). I view the Top Dog Polish (Berkeley) is still better, 5 Stars, so took off .5 Star. You can't beat the flat iron grill and French roll, to steamed and hotdog bun. Until next time... Next time try: Banana milkshake Polish with kraut, onion tomato, mustard Hot link

Had to update my review since my tastebuds have evolved hahah. Wrote my first review for red onion…read morewhen I was in high school lol. I was craving a diner style burger and remembered about red onion. The location closest to me was closed, but the Pinole location was open until 10pm! They have online pick up through DoorDash, so that's what I did. The menu is huge and I was surprised that their DoorDash menu included most of it, if not, all! I got a bacon cheeseburger and a personal order of chili cheese fries. My bf ordered one of the new chicken burgers, spicy sriracha crispy chicken, and a half order of onion rings. I don't think the sides come with the burgers, so you'll have to purchase them separately. The burger was heftyyyy!!! I could barely finish it all and didn't have enough room in my stomach for the chili cheese fries! It really fulfilled my cravings and it was exactly what I wanted in a diner burger. They were very generous with the bacon and I had bacon in every bite! (It was a bit salty tho) I like that they add the lettuce and tomatoes on the side so you can add it to yourself when you get home. My bf really enjoyed his spicy sriracha crispy chicken burger and onion rings. This was his first time having Red Onion and he absolutely loved it! 4 stars because it was quite pricy for 4 items, however, I guess it does make up for how big the portions are!

During our visit, my daughter spilled a little and the girl was really nice about it. She offered paper towels to help clean up. The place has a few tables for sitting and hanging out while drinking, if needed. We have tried so many different boba places in the area but wasn't happy because of all the crazy flavors but this place really fits out preference in size and taste. I'd return for sure!

As soon as I pulled up to the window, she greeted me with such a warm, genuine smile; and honestly, after having a tough day, that simple gesture completely turned my evening around. You can immediately tell when someone takes real pride in what they do. Outstanding customer service seems so rare these days, but Shay's positive energy, enthusiasm, and authentic joy in serving customers truly set her apart. She doesn't just do her job; she brings a bright, welcoming vibe that makes people feel valued. Thank you, Shay, for being a beacon of light today and for showing up with so much passion and heart. Wienerschnitzel definitely found a gem!

Caspers Hot Dogs is now Corkys! Same building, and from what I understand, new ownership. With a…read morefew new spots in the Richmond area, we decided to take a trip through Richmond to see what's new and changing. Corky's remains just as delicious in my opinion as Caspers. Super old-school, nostalgic dog house still featuring all the Caspers' classics. We ordered the cheese dog because I feel like that's a must. The cheese comes grated and cold, and is just the most perfect topping. The Corky's "with everything" basically means tomatoes and onions (you can get the onions sliced or diced), mustard and relish. I did the ketchup instead of the freshly-sliced tomatoes. We also tried the house-made chili topped with cheese (comes with white crackers). So comforting, and surprised I've never had this before today. The combo meals come with a drink and bag of chips ~ other dog options include hot link, chicken, all beef, and polish. I even saw a Pickle Dog on the menu :) There is a parking lot adjacent. Staff is so sweet and even came around the counter to give the kiddo a magic trick and hot dog candy. We heard there may be fun merch on the way and also a few new menu items coming soon too. Worthy of a stop-inside if hot diggity dogs are your kryptonite.

New owner, same dogs - same staff…read more I've literally been coming here my entire life - since the early 60's. Really wanted to support the new owner & the old staff - same great food as always too. But......to hear & watch & hear the new owner behind the counter micro-managing & lecturing his hard working staff killed the old vibe. It really ain't all that complicated - they seemed to be managing just fine all those years before him. It was going on when we walked in the door & continued nonstop through our meal until the door shut behind us. I really like to support local businesses, but I'll never sit through that again.

It was hot and ice cream sounded really good. On this day, we passed by Foster Freeze to get home…read moreso we decided to give it a try. This was the first time visiting a Foster Freeze for my daughter and for myself. Parking was ample. There was seating available inside and out. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted. The cashier was very friendly with a warm smile. My daughter immediately picked the cookies and crème twister from the poster on the wall. I got the same in cookie dough. A small twister with an add-in was $6.99. My daughter's order came out immediately and mine arrived a few minutes later. The twister was nothing special. The vanilla custard was thick and creamy, the add in was ugh in portion. For what we received, if I paid $3.99 I would have no gripes. I am familiar with A&W and Dairy Queen's versions where the topping is plentiful, mixed in well and every bite has the combination of flavors. At Foster Freeze's we received mostly custard with some bites of the add in. I would have preferred the topping to be mixed in like a twister. Doubt we would return. Customer service was stellar, our food selections were not bad, just not the standard I am accustomed to. Custard was yummy.
