    Food court
    Brittany S.

    So good. Fresh battered and dipped. Bomb lemonade. Friendly and fast service. It's right in the food court with plenty of seating. Lots of space. Good AC.

    David R.

    Lots of bad reviews about this location. It's a real disappointment to see so many people unhappy. It's also such a shame that the management at this location doesn't do more to make things better. My food was really good, the staff was not very nice but what do you expect, I read the reviews before I walked in and I was not really expecting anything great. It's very sad agin that the owners don't try harder but like I said I did my homework and was nit too disappointed.

    Funnel Cake Sticks
    Jessica B.

    This has always been a favorite. I grew up coming to hot dog on a stick with my mom and she would say this is our little secret because she would still cook dinner for the rest of the family. Today I introduced my favorite secret to my daughter who absolutely loved it. Surprisingly she loved the pepper jack more than her turkey corn dog. Fries are exactly how I remember but guess what they have added funnel cake sticks. The service was great, not sure why they have so many complaints. As we waited for our food 1/18/23 the employee only left to get additional food from the back and they typically work alone so that's already hard enough. Wish people would have more patience because this is such a great location.

    Made it to the car with all of my items in my hand because they were out of bags and boxes...how Sway?!?

    This review is not for the food...it's regarding the ongoing issue with customer service. ATTENTION HDOS MANAGEMENT, you seriously need to get your people together; they're legit ruining your legacy of great customer service. I've been in the area more frequently due to work and have popped in 3-4 times over the last month. No lie, I'm standing at the counter for about a min or 2 before anyone comes from the back to take my order. Maybe they're taking care of serious business in the back, but I'm thinking the priority should be the front area...where food orders are actually placed and money is made. If whatever going on in the back requires the attention of both people on duty, maybe invest in a bell. Waiting unnecessarily is not okay mkay!

    Turkey Hot Dog on Stick 32oz Regular Lemonade

    I like the cheese on a stick, the hotdogs? Not so much! The lemonade is great. I would try it again if I'm in the area

    American Cheese Dog is ICE cold ... waited 17 minutes for cold food.
    Matthew M.

    I've been eating hotdog on a stick since 1987. This is the worst hotdog on a stick I've ever had. We ordered two hotdogs with turkey, two American cheese sticks, and a french fry. We were the only people in line when we ordered, we didn't have any special requests and we kept waiting and waiting and waiting and more and more people started showing up. Then two people that came after us ordered from the register received their food before us. I walked up and asked if my food was ready and I could see she had all these hotdogs lined up. So, she was making all of the orders and then going to package all of them up and send them out- however we've been waiting and waiting we looked at our time on the receipt and the time we received our food it was 17 minutes. After waiting 17 minutes for our food, we go outside to sit down and the fries are ice cold. We took the fries back waited another two minutes and they made new ones - came back out. The hotdog was lukewarm the cheese dog was ice cold and the french fries were only hot because we went and got more. The staff did not care at all, no pride in having a job or most people don't have a job and they do have a job. It was obvious they didn't want their jobs either at all. Will never ever go to this location or recommend it to anybody. I can't believe they're still open. It was dirty, the lights not on, the sign not lit up and Horrible service, Horrible food.

    Corn Dog Fail. This is not Hot Dog on a Stick. Wasted $11 on 4 of these craps. Yuck.
    Joseph A.

    I've gotten better corn dogs than I did this day from the gas station. The batter was so thin I'm surprised it didn't look like Swiss cheese on my wiener. Just look at the attached pic. I've always loved Hot Dog on a Stick as we all have, it's a staple in most of our childhoods and we pass it along to our kids. If I tried to do such, my children would look at me with such disgust and proceed to spit their bite of food out wherever they could, as fast as they could... In all seriousness, the worst hot Dog on a Stick I've ever had. Someone needs to start doing their job because others don't know how to properly. Why am I making a big rant over some corn dogs and kids working a meaningless job? Because of the following: I earned the money I spent on that crap and that's not what I paid for. If you can't be held accountable at such a simple and easy job then good luck trying to get to the next level. Sure it's filled with some hard labor at times but you better figure it out now. I don't blame the kids, I blame their manager for either hiring them, not training them properly, not observing and correcting, not firing said individuals. In the future you'll find me checking out others wieners when their orders are called to observe how the corn dogs are looking before I consider ordering again.

    SMALL funnel fries.
    Nena B.

    Wish my small funnel fries had more than 10 fries inside the cup. Corndog was good. Regular fries were good too.

    Large Lemonade taste like watered down Country Time!
    Shay A.

    Wish I could give 0 stars....So I walked into this mall I never go to and first thing I see is Hot Dog on A Stick....I was like omg they make perfect lemonade and I haven't had one since I was a kid in the 80's...every time I drink lemonade I say "this isn't as good as hot dog on a stick lemonade"....Anyway I ordered a large lemonade and I got a large water with lemon and a sprinkle of sugar! I sipped this and said "DAMN Walmart's Marketside lemonade over by the pickles and sandwiches taste WAY better than this!" This stuff taste like watered down Country-Time powdered lemonade!!!!! It's was BAD and I'm low-key mad I paid $5 for it lollll

    Craig Y.

    This place is located inside the South Bay Pavilion in Carson in the food court. I haven't had this in years I grew up with this when going to Del Amo Mall, Redondo Beach Pier and other malls back then I was more excited for the outside and never finished the whole hot dog which always got my parents mad lol. Now I appreciate the overall taste of a hot dog on a stick. I also loved their lemonade then they decided to add cherry flavoring and I was hooked on that still today they have that along with Lime now which I haven't tried maybe I'll have to one day. This place will always have that nostalgic feeling in my heart whenever I see or eat there.

    Tae G.

    I always loved this place growing up. The crunchy, sweet batter is oh so bad for you, but oh so yummy. Every blue moon when I go, I get the pepper jack stick. Even the crispy, salty fries are good. Prices are a bit ridiculous for quick fried foods, but the nostalgia of the place is still exciting.

There are many tables for both larger and smaller parties. Majority of the guests seemed to be here for similar reasons. Staff was friendly but it did take awhile after placing orders for anything to come out of the kitchen. The bread basket we got within the first 10-20mins was nice. It had banana bread, dinner rolls and crisps which came with pesto butter. However, the rest of our food did take a while (almost 45mins) to come out which our party was pretty big so I guess I would say contributed to the wait. When the food did come out some of our party didn't get their order at the same time, which I will have to say takes away from the overall experience. I ordered the Pene Pasta with bolognese from the daily plates which I hoped would have been good and a bowl of soup (pumpkin soup was the soup of the day). However, there wasn't a lot of flavor to the overall dish and I found the meat bits in the sauce were crunchy for some reason. The few veggie bits in the dish were decent. The soup was good but overall nothing mind blowing. Overall the experience was a mixed bag. I don't know if I would come back unless it's another company function mainly due to the overall experience. There is plenty of parking in the back but also street parking is available.

The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips were very good. The presentation was also very good. Which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted nice; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, it is creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
