    Snow-Balls

    Great location on Carpinteria Beach at the end of Linden Avenue. Penelope is so nice. I had the tropical shave ice flavored with Piña colada and blood orange. Yummy. Perfect on warm days. There's several benches to sit and people watch. $3 for a shave ice- great deal. Large portion you might want to share. For another $1 you can get vanilla ice cream at the bottom. Enjoy.

    Love this place to grab a shaved iced! They have a ton of flavors and extra goodies such as hot dogs, chips, and root beer floats. My husband and I paid an extra $1 to have vanilla ice cream put on the bottom of our shaved ice and would highly recommend it! They also have options for a snow cap and sour spray to go on top! My one complaint is that the line moves slowly and there's no shade while waiting.

    Delicious and affordable! We paid about $8 for two shaved ices with vanilla ice cream on the bottom. They were a really good size with a generous amount of flavoring. This place also sells hot dogs and soda/water

    Penelope's makes our family beach trips that much better. We look forward to the shave ice with ice cream and the hotdogs.

I got the taco dog, loaded fries and soda was such a nice treat for lunch. The taco dog has a perfect mixture of asada, cheese, avocado, and onions that make for such a great take on a Mexican cuisine hot dog. Their loaded fries were also incredibly delectable with their golden cheese sauce. I did miss getting my bacon wrapped jalapeño but I'm excited for next time!

The service is efficient and helpful. There isn't a lot to say but the food is simple, well executed, and all around excellent. The fries and tots are crispy and well seasoned. The fried pickles are incredible -- they mellow out the sourness through the frying process and it's a perfect bite with ranch. The hot dogs are charred and juicy with fresh toppings. The bun is good and they have a lot of sauces to choose from. Their weekly special is a great deal -- about $10 bucks for a specific hot dog with tots or fries and a fountain drink. They have a pretty large menu. I'd like to try their Korean inspired corn dog and their burgers eventually but it's hard to beat a good hot dog.

Stopped by on a Saturday for lunch and picked up the downtown dog. Got in around 1:30pm and walked right up to place my order. For $13 bucks I can't complain because this thing was loaded and a good size for the price. The Downtown dog came loaded with peppers, onions, bacon and mayonnaise and mustard. All hot dog ingredients were definitely of great quality to which I greatly appreciated. Overall, I can't wait to come back here again as this is my closest Dog Haus now. Super thankful to have them out here in TO now. Make sure to keep them in mind the next time your looking for a hot dog or a quick and flavorful bite to eat. You will not regret it, that's forsure.

My breakfast burrito was very average, especially for $12. My wife's was $13 and noticeably better than mine, so I may have ordered wrong. The coffee was warm (not hot) and really dark--so dark that even four half-and-half creams barely made a dent. The inside feels more like a cafeteria with long shared tables, which isn't really my vibe. We sat outside instead, but it's right on a busy street, so between traffic noise and tailpipe exhaust, it wasn't exactly the most peaceful breakfast. We also got a front-row seat to someone being pulled over and yelled at by the police, which was... unexpected breakfast entertainment. Not bad, not great. 3 out of 5 stars feels about right.

The atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming, and full of good energy from the moment we walked in. I had the MadeWest Hazy on draft served in an ice-cold Pint, exactly what you want on a warm Santa Barbara day. My girlfriend had a great time, and the whole experience felt effortless and fun. One of the coolest parts of the visit was meeting Chris, a local who told us this is one of his favorite hangout spots and where he brings his dog Harlo. He gave us some awesome local recommendations and really added to the laid back community vibe that makes this place special. The bartenders and hosts were all attentive, friendly, and professional. You could genuinely tell the staff enjoys what they do, and that energy carries throughout the entire place. It's refreshing to see hospitality thriving like this in Santa Barbara. Definitely adding this to my regular stop whenever I'm in SB. Great drinks, great people, great atmosphere. Highly recommend. - Ian Lantz

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.
