Lucky's Dog House tucked inside Janss Marketplace in Thousand Oaks is a true old school establishment that's been serving the community for over 20 years. Walking up feels like stepping into a 90s time capsule in the best way possible. Classic diner vibes, no frills, just hot dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches and sides. The owners are incredibly kind and efficient, as everything is cooked fresh to order. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating so I grabbed a table outside to soak up that sunshine. Here's what I ordered: Chili Cheese Dog: (upgraded to the Hebrew National) 10/10. Having tried both of their hotdogs, definitely get the Hebrew National over the regular one. It's bigger and more flavorful in my opinion. This thing was loaded. Flavorful chili, melty cheese, and fresh diced onions, all tucked into a perfectly grilled hot dog roll. This is definitely the dog to get if you're torn between all of the options. Street Dog: A bacon wrapped dog with ketchup, mayo and mustard and veggies (I customized mine a bit so opted out of the onion and jalapeño). If you're a fan of bacon wrapped hot dogs, this is always a solid choice too. Pro tip: These hot dogs are HUGE. I was not prepared. One would've easily done the job so next time I'm just grabbing one and adding a side of onion rings because they looked incredible. Overall a very satisfying lunch for under $20 for two dogs and a soda. Great to have a long standing hotdog restaurant in the 805. read more

I've been there 4 times since now and taken my daughter Rhoda back 4 times!! EVERY SINGLE TIME we both have Loved EVERY SINGLE THING we ORDERED SO MUCH that we couldn't wait to come back to try More & More Different things AND somehow ALSO SO FAR my only real problem is that every Time the Hamburgers seem to be getting Better & BETTER in a way that that we both each noticed that they seem SO much Fresher and better tasting than even places like 'In and Out' that have always claimed to be serving fresh beef! Could say a lot more but just see if you for yourself +!!!+ read more

Review of dinner with a friend at Lucky's Dog House The staff was friendly, professional, and polite, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant was clean and well-organized. They offer a great selection of hot dogs, sandwiches, and other comfort food. The food came out promptly, served hot and fresh. I had their Lucky Dog, a classic chili dog with chili, cheese, and onions. I selected the Hebrew National. It was flavorful and satisfying. It sits between a fir & knife dog and a grab it and eat it dog. The fries were simple but good, and my Crush Orange fountain drink was just as expected. They also handled a to-go order for my dad seamlessly while we were eating. It was neatly packed and ready to go without any delay. I've also ordered from Lucky Dog through DoorDash in the past, and that experience was great as well (photo from this). Overall, Lucky Dog is a reliable and enjoyable spot for a classic hot dog meal. read more

This place it's a spot every time. My family and I get it for lunch after a day of playing in the sky zone or shopping or getting a haircut for my son in the marketplace here. We enjoy and it feels like we're going back in time a little bit too. great spot! read more

Great customer service, pretty good chili dog, all brought to you in a small hotdog diner. Nestled in the Jann's marketplace, this dog diner is offering up some hearty Chili cheese dogs at your average price. Where it loses a star is the crinkle cut fries which lacked any type of seasoning or flavor. It's still worth the stop if you're looking for a quick meal, but I'd pass on making it a meal and stick to the chili dog by itself. That's this critic's review, until next time I'll be eating. read more

So so, so so terrible. My chili was cold. My cheese was cold. My hotdog was cold inside and the french fries were frozen inside. Literally ate one bite of the hotdog one bite of the fries and threw it in the trash. read more

This place hits the spot when you're looking for a hotdog and some classic food options. It's got a few indoors and shared outdoor seating in the Janss mall. Folks that run it are always nice and have great service. I like that they have a good mix of both fountain and bottle drink options, prices are reasonable and taste better than other fast casual hotdogs. They also offer online ordering, I suggest that if you're looking to order a lot. They do make things fresh so it can take bit for your food to be ready. I usually stop by when we're hungry and shopping in the area. There are a lot of options on the menu and they also have other things like shakes, other friend items like onion rings, mozzarella sticks, etc and burgers. It's located between cold stones and mighty axe read more

fellow at front counter very nice and showed good service however the dog was sad. the bun tasteless and could not stand up to condiments and chili. the dog had no snap and was boring. even the onions had no flavor. the chili had no vibe. so in all a very sad dog. end sorry read more

Went there and found out that they have changed the cheese they use. Now it's runny cheap cheese(nachos at football games cheese), not grated cheddar like the previous owner used. Won't go again. read more

This place was so delicious!! Came here with my friends and the owner was so nice and patient with us. Best chili cheese dog ever!!

Best hot dogs I ever had. And the burger are amazing too. I will definitely be going back.

Lucky's is owned by a couple. They're super sweet and it's a tiny little mom & pop restaurant but they have delicious burgers and chili cheese fries. I hope they thrive because I have eaten there several times and it's always good and fresh. The establishment is clean but old and small but it doesn't matter because they have outdoor seating. The service is fast and friendly. read more

This was a super surprise. We had happened to come upon this location on a family outing. Their selections is great and Sonia the service. Their menu has variety and many eating options for your tastes buds and diet. All of the items were well cooked and fresh . I couldn't eat it all in one sitting and even when I warmed it up at home it still was good. Highly recommended for the food and prices. The size is a little small but there is seating both inside and out. The owners are super nice and helpful as well. read more

Great flavorful dogs at a very reasonable price. Nothing fancy inside, but the staff was friendly and food came out quick and good. I had the Moorpark dog and the Street dog and both were perfectly cooked and had the perfect amount of toppings. Toppings were fresh and presented nicely. The dogs had a nice snap when I bit into them and I love how they have options for different types of meats, including turkey dogs. This is a Great little mom and pop place tucked away in the mall.

Low key one of the better burgers around. Simple backyard bbq style burger. Affordable , nice seats outside. Friendly local staff.

Last Friday was a cold rainy evening. My friend and I were on our way to Reign of Terror but needed to grab something quick. Thank god we happened across Lucky's Dog House. We dashed in out of the cold and were greeted with warm friendly faces. I was surprised at the very reasonable price for their menu. I had an avocado cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake... Oh my gosh, that milkshake! It was so good I'm drooling even now thinking of it. This place is definitely worth visiting if you're in the area, or even if you're driving by the area, it's worth making a stop for. read more

I stopped in for a quick snack and ordered the cheese fries. They had a lot of business buzzing but still were able to manage a friendly hello while taking care of their orders currently in the works. The establishment appeared clean and they had small tables to eat at. You could also choose to eat outside at the tables in the mall. The fries were fresh, hot and not expensive at all! The cashier was very polite and they have a lot of good options with a lengthy menu to choose from. I recommend stopping by and checking them out. read more

Every time I've eaten here the staff is awesome, the food is fresh and delicious. The tuna melt combo I had yesterday inspired this review. Grilled to perfection: wheat bread, tuna, cheddar and tomato. The perfect ratio of ingredients on the sandwich, fries crisp/not greasy, 5 Yums! My highest rating.

Not a best choice there. The quality of food was not fresh and tasty. They need to restructure their menu. We went with group of friends and they all had the same opinion. Some left their food on the table. Unfortunately, I don't recommend this business. We need to see restructure for their menu and a big jump start. read more
