I have made it a tradition to eat hear each time I visit the mall before I could drive. Best in the area. Took them for granted when I moved to NY and their street carnival version was cheap, oily slow backed under a hot light inedible disaster. read more

Hot Dog On a Stick - Hot Dogs Near Me - Modesto, California

We found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by. This place is inside a mall so there's plenty of parking. It's a little walk up shop where you can see the menu. We got a family meal that included 4 corn dogs, fries, and a drink for $20. They make all the food fresh here so it's very good. The service was very fast. We overall had a good experience. read more

Stopped by on a busy day, but the service was quick and our food was hot when served! This location is located in the food court at Vintage Faire Mall and it serves as a classic here. I was impressed by the amount of cheese inside the corn dog and my strawberry lemonade was super good. Thank you to the workers. read more

This business has been closed for a month!! Stating no electricity but it's been out for a month straight? Been wanting a corn dog since August and they still haven't opened back up a week from October!! Get it together yall we want our corn dogs call an electrician !!! read more

Forever fan of HDOS! I might be bias because I used to work here, but you can't deny their freshly stomped lemonade and freshly fried goodness! Thing's have definitely changed over the years, but I'm glad to hear this location is still #1 in the company. I personally don't like too much batter on my dipped items, so I always ask for light batter. read more

Always a 5 stars!!! I'm from the BAY AREA and all of their locations there are closed. Found this location, on accident, and I'm glad we did! I'm a huge fan of their original lemonade and corn dogs!!! Definitely recommend!!! Since we live so far, my husband and I decided to buy two gallons of lemonade, haha. And one large drink for the road back home. GOODLUCK. read more

I went here yesterday with my boyfriend. My boyfriend and I ordered 2 cheese on a stick and we got American cheese. I love hot dog on a stick because of their cheese on a stick. There is no hot dog on a stick near me so I am glad I got to go to this one. It was my boyfriend's first time having hot dog on a stick and he said his cheese on a stick was amazing. This was the cleanest and biggest hot dog on a stick I've ever been to. read more

Hot Dog On a Stick - Food court mall area - Hot Dogs Near Me - Modesto, California

Absolutely baffled how this place is in business. The place is a MESS. The store looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. There was 4 people working. 3 of them were talking one was on register. A 3 person Line took forever. not sure if they sold the place to a new owner but it's just a world of difference than it used to be. Won't be coming back. The Worst part of it all was my food was grossly undercooked and tasteless but I just threw it away. read more

TASTY OR WASTEY? Totally Wastey...and, dirty!!! I use to love the original lemonade from this place! The past couple of times, I've been here, I've seen homeless men, literally touching the condiment pumps, grabbing napkins, and asking for food. It's so dirty and unsanitary. I would not recommend. read more

What is not to love about this place? Classic Mall food! Ended up getting some snacks here for mother's Day. Classic beef corn dog and french fries all around. And of course the meal wouldn't be complete without the lemonade. There's just something wonderful about how they make the hot dog on a stick fresh. It's one of those foods that takes you back to being a kid. The corn dog was fresh hot and delicious as were the fries. read more

I'm always a fan of Hot Dog On A Stick. Since when I was a little kid, If i have a choice, I will come and eat here. I enjoyed their corn dogs and cheese on a stick. Not to forget the Cherry Lemonade is always the bomb. The staff was super friendly. We will be back for more. read more

I don't know his name, but the one employee who looks like Keanu Reeves? Anyways, his customer service skills are excellent and he even gave me a free sample of lemonade. made my WHOLE day! give this boy a raise! period. read more

This place is AWESOME and used in several movies. Killer Klowns from Outer Space was filmed in Santa Cruz where the original location is! Best lemonades on the planet and their cheese dogs are the best! Their fries are off the hook too! I wish the one in Tracy didn't have to close, but due to the stupid pandemic it did. I'd love to work here. Great company and great people. I love how all the girls squash all the lemonade in front of the guests. Even better when the guys do it! The guys look HOT squashing all those lemons! Great food! read more

Omg I love their corn dogs *insert heart-eyed emoji* . This place never disappoints. Their lemonades are too sugary though but I don't really like sugary things so it's not their fault. read more

The best lemonade in the central valley...maybe the world! While the hot dogs (corn dogs) and french fries are great, what really sets this place apart is the lemonade. They come in 3 different flavors (regular, cherry lemonade, and limeade) as well as a lite version and frozen versions (like slurpees). The lemonades are made fresh in the store...usually in the front so you can see them hand stomp them...it doesn't get more fresh or natural than that. And yes, the lemonade really taste really good. Best of all, if you buy a large drink and save/bring back the cup, you can get refills for just $2 (over 50% savings)! I only wished they did chicken nuggets on a stick or full size funnel cakes, then this place will be perfect :) read more

I have no idea when they opened back up but I went on 05/14/2019 and they are up and runners. Corn dogs, pepper jack, and Cheddar cheese on a stick were so yummy! Can't wait to get back to Modesto to get some more!! read more

You know, its hard for me to give a place 5 stars. But every time I come here its always fast and friendly service. I love cheese and I usually have to order 2 pepper jack cheese dogs and maybe a hot dog if I'm still not satisfied. Watch out, the cheese is HOT. They now have lemonade slushy. Which is a great combo with the hot cheese dogs. YUM~ read more

I love the corndogs (eventhough they are $5!!) and lemonade ($3.50). Really when I have an extra 10 walking through the mall they are the ones to go to.. I hardly ever get the corndog and most often just walk away with a lemonade. I do feel bad for the seriously harsh outfits that wouldn't even look good on kate moss let alone anyone. Why hot dog on a stick must you dress your employees like they are auditioning for a one man circus?! le sigh. Oh and making them jump up and down making the lemonade - not helping their coolness factor either. read more

So, I remember back in the day when Hot Dog on a Stick was located half way between the current food court and Sears. Back then it was a place that I never really visited except to see them make the lemonade. I thought it was hilarious how hard they would pound the crap out of those lemons! It also helped that they usually had a pretty girl doing the pounding. But, times have changed and so have hiring laws. No longer can you discriminate and hire only the pretty girls to pound the lemons. Now you have to hire any pimply-faced teen that comes along looking for a job. This I suppose is more fair, and the ugly side of progress. Another ugly side of progress is the people that line up there. Most of them are the people that just want a quick something-or-other to fill their tummy, but then there are the moms and thier heards of children. Oh how disgusting this place can get when you see a woman and her 4 kids all pushing deep fried hot dog meat into their cake-holes. Honestly though, the only thing that this place has going for it is the lemonade, and even that barely qualifies. There are certainly better food options in Vintage Faire, so unless you want some lemonade, steer clear and find somewhere else to eat. read more

Ordered my food and had the best customer service, manager Marissa was amazing as well as another employee by the name of Vian. Cheerful attitude and fast service with a smile, those two are the ONLY reason why I keep coming. The rest of the staff barely get by with getting anything done correctly but these two (marissa and vian) truly hold the store on their shoulders. read more

Best snack ever, can't go wrong with cheese on a stick (pepper jack is my favorite, but enjoy all) always fresh and not greasy on any of the varieties of fried food. As much as I hate the mall, I don't mind the occasional trip, just for this! read more

Hot Dog On a Stick - Yucky please clean off. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Modesto, California

What can I say. It's a dog on a stick all dressed up in a battered coat of soft but sometimes crunchy stuff. It was neither good or bad just ok. I guess if your in a hurry and need a bite of something then this is the place to stop. Sure don't take long to get served. read more

Hot Dog On a Stick - Hot Dogs Near Me - Modesto, California

I wish I lived closer to this mall, if I did I would stop by here everyday on lunch just to indulge in this amazing food. Since I don't live closer, I'm limited to my bi-monthly visits; which is not necessarily a bad thing, I definitely make every visit count. The food here is addictive, the hot dog on a stick is made with a delicious Nathan's all beef hot dog, double dipped in a super moist batter, then fried to golden brown perfection. The french fries here are also noteworthy for sure, they are fresh shoe string style; fried to a light crisp with optional salt on the side. If you find yourself looking for munchies in the mall, look no further, this is the only spot worth waiting in line for. read more

This place is exactly what you think! A hand dipped state fair style corn dog and freshly made lemonades. The fried cheese was something new and different, not bad at all but I think I would stay with the hot dog on a stick. The French fries were made when we ordered and not just sitting under a heat lamp like so many other places, cooked perfectly! The gal working was so nice! She offered samples and was very patient with us while we ordered! I bet it has something to do with the fact they are 100% employee owned! Such a nice thing to have an employee that seemed to really like her job and employer! Her positive attitude really showed in the quality of the food and customer service! They also have a punch card too for repeat customers! Free good food to reward loyal customers? Yes please! read more

I absolutely love the employee Bronika! She is so friendly and makes you crave the food even more!

I will defiantly come back and not just for the food! read more

Not a big fan of corn dogs at all, I didn't really like their lemonade either. The customer service here was simple. Poor employees have to wear a ridiculous uniform. The uniform reminds me of the circus. read more

Loved it had a beef hot dog and cheese on a stick love pepper jack oh and frozen pink lemonade great lunch and the best company too

I am a regular customer who goes about two times a month to this location. Every employee is always kind, helpful, and the food is great. I went to the store the other day when it was about to close and the two employees behind the counter did not rush to leave early and stopped what they were doing in order to get my order ready in a timely fashion while still maintaining great quality . So many workers will obviously try and leave early when it is near closing time or won't pay proper attention to their service, but the two employees were the exact opposite of what I usually see at fast food facilitates. It was a young man named Fermin and the other worker was named Sayson (spell check please!) To say the least, the food was as good as always and I will certainly be back hoping to be helped by these two employees again! Both of these employees were exceptional and deserve either a raise or a promotion! Good job! read more

I have been going to hot dog on a stick since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed great service and equally great food at whatever location I have been to. Unfortunately this hot dog on a stick in the vintage faire mall located in Modesto was just a dreadfully unpleasant experience. Usually the long line moves extremely fast and efficiently, being helped out by nice employees, unfortunately today wasn't the case. I went in at around 5 O'clock today, being Friday the 23rd. The line was extra long and there were only two younger girls working, they were both talking and laughing to each other extremely loud and obnoxiously, it was extremely unprofessional and repulsive that two girls working were being so loud and annoying when their was a large line of hungry customers. After waiting way to long for the size line I was in a dark haired girl who's name eludes me took my order, she was nice but took my order wrong. I wanted four pepper jack cheese dogs, I was helped out and then she asked for my name, once I told her, I waited and sat down at hot dog on a sticks seating area. After about five minutes of waiting and observing I was incredibly disappointed. The employee cooking my food, later to find out her name was Valerie, was a short rude blonde girl, she would make jokes with the other one, whispering in her ear, this gave away that she was making fun of people, it was especially obvious when a Hispanic man came up and got his food, they exchanged words and he walked off, after Valerie went up to her fellow employee and whispered and pointed at the man, making rude faces and then laughing. She would yell and jump around like a small child. After waiting another five minutes I asked if my food was ready, rudely she screamed "who are you?" I showed her my recite and she gave me my cold food, later I would find out that they gave me four American cheese dogs rather than what I wanted, the pepper jack. Her name tag stated she had been working there since 2006, this is incredibly sad and disappointing. It's a shame that someone who's been working at a place probably a third of her life was so unprofessional, rude, loud, and obnoxious. I question the leadership and management of that staff, whoever is in charge was not there today. After I threw away my cold food I went to Panda Express. The line was quick, food was correct and they were very professional. I wouldn't recommend hot dog on a stick in the vintage faire mall to any of my friends. It is a very undertrained poorly managed establishment, that needs a true manager, or management team. read more

terrible service, the cook walked over to talk to his friend while I have been waiting for 10 minutes
