As I approached the five, I thought about it for a moment and realized I could get a Chicago hot dog. When would be the next time I would be here? I didn't know or have any idea. So I came and got lots of hot dogs! I love just how the flavor of all the ingredients, from the tomato to the pickle to the chilis, chopped onions, green relish and the amazingly tasty hot dog and bun all come together. It's one of the best combinations ever for a hot dog and if I could eat them every day, I probably would. But I like living, so I don't think I can do that. The service here is nice. You have your choice of going to the register or kiosk. You also get a huge dining area with a fun ambiance as well. If you've never been to portillos for a hot dog, you have to go!

This hot dog cart is located along the lane of fast-casual food eateries at the Outlets at Orange…read more They offer several dog options and I chose the BBQ Dog: bacon wrapped dog with grilled onions and bbq sauce. It was among the best hot dogs I've ever had. I loved the rich bbq sauce and the perfectly grilled onions. The bun was fresh and the dog itself was great quality with excellent "snap". I'm a bit spazzy when it comes to eating and walking so wanted to sit for a moment to eat. The Outlets are notorious for having no outdoor seating so I just found a chair at one of the fast food places. It doesn't take long to eat a weenie so I was done before I could be chased away.

I've…read moredefinitely walked past it a few times at The Block and was almost tempted to buy a hot dog multiple times so I knew it would be good! I believe it's a little truck in the food area and I am not sure if there's seating around, but I think not since it's giving a street dog vibe. My order was made so fast! I got the typical LA dog, which was wrapped in bacon and had grilled onions and bell peppers on top. I can't believe this was my first street dog EVER and that's when I realized what I was missing out all the time after concerts... It was SOOO good!!! I'm so glad I was feeling gluttonous and got an extra large glizzy because I ended up gobbling up the whole thing. This was exactly what I needed honestly. Yay hot dogs! The only minor thing that I didn't love is that I ordered "homemade chips" and they just gave me a small bag of Lays for $2.50. I didn't love that I payed that much for probably a 50 cent worth bag when I expected some nice homemade ones so they should definitely change that on the orders.

La Dog super good

Very little seating inside and I think they were doing some renovations to their cashier area but that did not affect anything inside! We ordered the mozzarella and cheddar hot dog and the potato mozzarella dog with 1/2 hot dog 1/2 mozz. We opted for no sugar, maybe we will try sugar on it next time! Both were delicious! The crispiness was perfected to a tee but my boyfriend's issue was that it felt flavorless (maybe thats what the sugar is for). I still enjoyed it! Will come back again for a snack :)

Food is ordered up front and beer is in the back bar area. The beers are all German and Belgian which is a nice change from most places. They have many styles of sausages and you can top them with any of their toppings. There's even vegetarian sausages so no one is left out. Belgian fries cooked 3 times is their other specialty served with a bunch of sauce options. There's an outdoor patio area and the bar area inside where most of the seating is. It took me too long to visit here but I'll be back soon.

Their concept focused on gourmet sausages, Belgian and German beers, communal dining tables, and a relaxed social atmosphere. We came here with our group our friend and got to feast upon some dogs and wursts. One of the interesting features that have is that they carry exotic proteins such as alligators, rabbit, or rattlesnake in their links; but if you're more of a vanilla eater, than you're probably opt for the beef, pork or chicken flavored. Either way, make sure you pair it with any of their 10+ beers on tap and you'll for sure enjoy every moment of that bite. I ordered their cheddar bratwurst topped with pickled jalapenos and carmelized onions in a pretzel bun. The wurst was kind of the dry side but beer always helps. I do think sometimes that they over cook it which drys out all the delicious fat out of the links but I am here for drinks and a good time. Great spot to hang out for any type of gathering.

The hot dog itself was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The bun was soft and fresh, which made every bite even better. The chili was really the standout--rich, hearty, and just the right amount of flavor without overpowering the dog. Everything came together so well. You can tell they put care into the quality of their food. It's a stand so you order at the window. You can take out or eat at one of the outdoor tables which is covered. They also serve Thrifty ice cream and milk shakes which I plan to try next time. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to when I'm craving a really good hot dog!

We stopped by on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon to give it a try. We had a Chicago Dog, a Chili Dog, plain fries and a vanilla ice cream cone. It seemed old school to order at the walk up window. The food was prepared while you waited. The person who took our order also prepared our food. (Tongs and other implements were used handling the food but some direct touching occurred. I would suggest the staff wear gloves.) The kitchen looked clean. Our food was ready quickly. I was told that the Chicago Dog was good. I had the Chili Dog with cheese. It was okay. The chili had good flavor. Based on prior reviews, I was expecting that signature snap when I bit into the dog. I was disappointed that it was not there. The vanilla ice cream was great. The fries were fresh and hot. This place is on a busy street so it can get rather loud sitting outside. It was touch windy and cold when we were there. The hot dog was not as epic as I expected. I was disappointed that the dog had no snap and just tasted just ok. I would come back and try something else from the menu. The shakes sound good.

Passable hot dog food truck place…read more Ordered from here during d23 Disney fan convention in Anaheim as they had the shortest line and they were flipping food quite quickly to satisfy customer demand. I got their pastrami dog and it naturally comes with grilled onions, pickles and mustard drizzle, but you can always ask to not have these things on. If you want extra or different toppings such as jalapenos, bacon bits, etc, it will be an extra fee. For a normal sized hot dog with a decent amount of pastrami (not too salty, thank goodness) with the toppings that already come with it and a diet Coke, it was around $20. Yes, I get that food trucks are sometimes pricier and being at an event increases that amount too, but for that cost and the taste. The value just doesn't add up. At this point, I might even try the bacon dog vendors out on the streets. It's alright, but there are definitely more appealing options out there.

To my surprise, he told me he used to stop by here all the time when he was in high school. We agreed we'd go try it if we were ever in the area and today was that day. We both got their Chicago dog and shared a large chili cheese fries. I'm a huge chili cheese fries lover and their fry to chili ration is perfect! I've gone to a few places where they don't add enough chili so this was the perfect amount. This was my first time trying a Chicago dog and it was honestly delicious. Perfect amount of savory and sourness. I also ordered their Thai tea and usually I get no boba but forgot to mention that when I ordered. I still drank it though and their boba pearl was actually nice and chewy. Their Thai tea isn't too milky which is how I prefer my Thai tea because I love the bitterness of the tea. They have a small drive thru you can order from or you can park and walk up to their ordering window on the opposite side of the drive thru. We decided to sit and enjoy our order since the sun was beginning to set. Also do y'all see those prices?! Definitely a good stop and affordable. I also believe it's Cambodian owned! All in all, it's definitely a cute spot to stop by if you're ever in the area and I'd definitely come back to try something different!

Polish Sausage taste very promising you have to come and try it out. It be a must to try.
