Wow...what a nice surprise! Locally made fresh sausages with generous toppings! Probably the best I've ever had. Plus a very friendly owner. Street side tables to take in the town. Only wish I lived local to enjoy this more often!!! read more

I was here for the VW show. Not many small vendors around. We only wanted something small rather than a large meal. We saw people here and thought we would give it a try. Nope. Not for me. The sausage had odd spices. Interesting, but it lingered for a long time. I couldn't finish it. And the water wasn't helping to wash it out. Sorry, but this place is not for me. read more

We absolutely loved this place. Everything was so delicious, surprised it doesn't have a Michelin mention. We're so happy we found it and already can't wait to come back next time we're in town. Without a doubt, some of the best hot dogs I've had in a long time. read more

We ordered the hot link with bacon bits and a spicy veggie dog. Both super delicious. Never tried a veggie dog before and it was so good! Anytime you're in Capitola Friday-Monday stop in right on the corner of San Jose ave / Capitola ave. read more

Update from the owners response: There was no discount or anything. We just came around closing time and he mentioned last call. We ordered 6 hotdogs and it was around $35-36. The hot dog & buns were cold and low quality. That's about it. Previous review: Not the best hot dog I've had, but the service was great and they were kind enough to accommodate us right before closing. The beef hot dog was a good size for a snack and pretty affordable for the area. I liked the variety of topping and sauce options, but the hot dog itself was a bit cold, which was a bit of a letdown. read more

One of my stops whenever I am in town and they are open. Nothing like a great dog with some awesome toppings and a great view provided by cool people. Every time they do right by me. My kids look forward to coming here. read more

Have passed by for years but hadn't tried a dog until yesterday. The line for pizza was down the block but the line here was short. Glad I opted for the hotdog. It was about the same price as a single piece of pizza but had so much going on toppings-wise. I'll definitely be back. Employees were friendly and service was fast. read more

Simple menu with perfect execution. This is the spot for a hot dog and a beer! Small shop with some outdoor seating. read more

Rad vibes, rad service! Owner was super friendly, provided awesome recommendations and even has a dog friendly menu, what's not to love?! The dogs were beyond delicious, especially the cheesy brat and cheesy andouille. Gotta get the worx on top! Can't wait to come back again - thanks for the awesome hospitality! read more

My favorite food place in Capitola!!!!! The BEST hotdogs I've ever eaten. This is only the second time I've eaten here (lol) but wow I think about this place all the time. I think the beach atmosphere just hits different too. I was volunteering on a beach trip with my church's youth group and I told a few people about this spot and they enjoyed it too. The guy taking our orders and making our food was so nice and even opened the stand a few minutes beforehand because we were already waiting. I can't wait to go back!! read more

I get a hot dog or Polish dog once a week while they're open, always perfect! They dress your order with whatever, but mustard & dill pickle are it for me. Reasonable prices & excellent quality food every time! Wish they were open during winter. read more

My husband is always craving local spots with good hot dogs. Service was super friendly, loved being able to sit out on the patio and people watch by the beach as we ate. The hotdog was a 10/10. So good, he got a second. read more

The beef hotdog was flavorful and delicious. The service was prompt even though the line was starting to form with multiple orders each.

Left Coast Sausage Worx - Hot Dogs Near Me - Capitola, California

This place is tucked away in the corner off the busy Esplanade. Almost all of their fresh ingredients and produce are LOCAL as well as the gourmet sausages are sourced from Corralitos Market and bread from Aldos Bakery. We tried the Left Coast Connection, Chicago Dog, and Heater. You can right away taste the freshness. Each dog is unique and full of flavor! This is a must try when in capitola. There is no tables to sit but there is tables in the arcade right next door to sit down and enjoy. You can also just stand and enjoy it with the beautiful view read more

Still awesome! The Footlong is not really 12 inches, it the size of Costco dog, but still good I need to try the spicy local mustard and Farmhouse Sauerkraut next time read more

These guys have their "hours" posted on yelp but they are never open. The quality of the food is for sure frozen hot dogs/sausages and the buns taste like 3 day old Costco. Maybe it would be worth it if the customer service was outstanding but they seem like they don't care about their customers AT ALL. I have heard rude and racists comments coming from the staff and can't stand to give more than 1 star read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Capitola. The sausages are absolutely fabulous. I had a brat and loved it. The person who staffs the venue is supercool and friendly. They have an outdoor eating area which is dog friendly. The pricing is fair factoring in inflation and gas costs. This is a "Must Eat Here" recommendation. Check it out. read more

This is an excellent sausage stand. They have the main sausages such as the Louisiana Hot Link, Polish, Turkey, Regular, Italian, or even their Wild Game! There are plenty of toppings to choose from but I wish they served a bit more sides like fries, potato salad, or even dipping sauces. I really wanted to try their Elk sausage but their wild game selection ran out. I ended up with their Polish with a nice smear of mustard. The bun was phenomenal! It was like wrinkled and squeezed together then opened up for the sausage to be inserted. I've never had this type of bun before but it was great! I'd love to come back again! I would definitely recommend Left Coast Sausage Worx for anyone looking for a hardy quick bite! read more

But of course, the best dogs in Santa Cruz. Not long wait and a easy to read menu. Looking forward to coming here again!

Best hotdog of my life. It's a takeout spot only has outdoor seating just near the beach

Excellent experience at this lovely establishment. Thanks Josh for the great dogs and beers. We had the cheesy Bavarian and polish dog and a local blonde and pale ale. Looking forward to returning. Cheers read more

It's. Nice place to get a quick bite in the village. My husband loves it. My nephew as well. I do get the veggie dog since I don't eat meat and it's definitely decent. I'm not huge fan of fake meat stuff so I'm not a great person for that review haha. But all and all a good experience read more

Updating my review after a rude and honestly kind of nonsensical response from the business owner -- it seems like maybe if you want people to have a good experience you could tell them up front when you're busting your buns and having a really busy time and then don't be passive aggressive to them when they point out that their experience was not awesome. You can work your hardest and still miss providing a great experience for your customers, it happens to all of us. It doesn't really help anyone if you're unable to receive the feedback your customers are providing. read more

Highly recommended. Had the best Chicken Santa Fe spicy sausage with the works. It did NOT disappoint! If you're in capitola village, I recommend this place for dogs and sausages. Not beef eater, they got the veggie and Turkey. option also. I would drive hours just to eat this again. read more

I don't mean to hate on this place but we got 3 hotdogs from here and all 3 of us didn't like them. We stayed in Capitola for 3 nights and it was voted the worst dining experience by everyone in our party (and we love a good hotdog). They guy was nice enough. He was on his phone the whole time while taking my order & preparing my food, but it was speaker so at least he wasn't touching his phone while preparing our food, so I'll take that as a win ‍. I did see all the amazing reviews so maybe it was because we got turkey hotdogs instead of beef but who knows. read more

Love this place! The hot dogs are great, the service is great! Now that they have the little patio on the side makes it nice to enjoy the ambience of the village! Keep up the great work Josh!! read more

Wasted $12 bucks on food that went IMMEDIATELY into the trash. Under cooked smelly rotten wieners - Smelly homeless beach trash tourist trap. Thinking about making a complaint to the city about this operation, I honestly think it's unsafe since the quality is so bad and they hot dogs are served cold and undercooked. Just look at the pictures of the hot dogs, they're nasty. If you're dumb enough to waste your money here, do it at your own peril. RED FLAG alert! Gross and nasty .15 cent food for less bought hot dogs. Rotten smelly undercooked dogs. Tourist trap - not real sausages. I took one bite and it was cold and smelled peculiar. Buyer beware, You're going to get extreme diarrhea from this place. Avoid this place at all costs. First of all the round homeless bearded bro guy who took my order over charged me, and I was dumb enough to leave a tip. Ordered the polish hot dog and he charged me like 10-11 bucks when it was listed at $6.50 The polish dog smelled peculiar and I could tell it was undercooked and not even hot or warm. I threw it in the trash after the first bite and he wouldn't refund me. read more

Came to Capitola by the Sea for a quick day trip just to get out of the Central Valley heat. Found thislittle gem while looking for some vegetarian/vegan friendly food. The owners are really nice and down to earth. They use locally sourced ingredients. The vegan dog is Fields Roast. They have free toppings (jalapeños, yellow peppers, onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, mayo), and other toppings you can pay a little extra for. If you eat meat they have different type of dogs like venison and boar I believe. If you want something good, fast, and inexpensive in this area this is a good choice. It's standing room only. read more
