    I have/had 80% of these cassettes/CDs!
    Lynn O.

    The Compound must be the Dirt Dog headquarters because it's massive and is set up like a distribution warehouse. I came here for a music event in the evening and although they typically close at 8:30pm on Saturday, they continued to serve food till 11:30pm for event attendees. I appreciated them for doing that! All the staff were really nice and service was decent. Tucked away in an industrial area of Commerce, you'll pull up to a large lot with a spacious outdoor seating area with interactive games for kids and a dope mural of Kobe, Snoop, Ice Cube and Nipsey Hustle. Upon entering, you can order at the bar and checkout the cool hip hop art work displayed throughout the dining area. They must have some awesome events utilizing the empty warehouse next to the dining area. The sound system was bumpin and the crowd was vibin the night I was there. I had the Elote Dog ($12.50), which was a bacon wrapped hot dog topped with corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro and bacon bits. It tasted just like the street corn I buy from my neighborhood vendors and I'm glad I opted for the buttery lobster roll bread. If I was more hungry, I would've tried the loaded fries, churros and fried oreos with horchata whipped cream! Next time!

    Tried this place for the first time. It was okay. I got the meal- house dog, esquite, and drink. The house dog has lots of toppings but towards the second half, it was spicy but there isn't anything spicy. Then the esquite was okay but it got salty... Personally, probably won't come again. If I do, I'll probably try the tacos.

    LA L.A. Cheesesteak

    Stopped by The Compound and tried the LA Cheesesteak and the Chili Dog, and both absolutely delivered. The LA Cheesesteak topped bacon wrapped dog was loaded -- tender, juicy steak with perfectly grilled onions, melty cheese, and a soft toasted roll that held everything together without falling apart. Super flavorful, rich, and exactly what you want from a legit cheesesteak. The Chili Dog was just as impressive. The chili was hearty and well-seasoned, not greasy, with crispy bacon, fresh onions, and herbs on top that added great texture and balance. Messy in the best way possible. Portions were generous, food came out hot, and everything tasted fresh and made with care. This is definitely the kind of spot you come to when you're craving indulgent, satisfying street food without the hassle of hunting down a food truck or cart. Service is swift and on point.

    Caught this place last minute and met some cool people here. I will definitely be back this season for a game and a beer. Vibes were awesome.

    Worst experience ever for a party. I went to go see Dani flow on April 3, 2026 and the wait to get in was an hour and half all because the gate person was not doing a good job managing the crowd. He just kept yelling at people instead of little folks in one by one. He always locked the gate and that made people push it. I broke my arm because the crowd was getting out of control....

    Garlic fries
    Guillermo S.

    I came in for garlic fries and a beer. Subpar service at best. The portion of small fries was smaller than kid's size in most other places. Music is blaring expletives. Not coming back.

    I had no idea what to expect today, but I was seriously surprised. This has to be one of the wildest places I've ever walked into for the first time. Huge murals of hip-hop artists all over the walls, old-school 90s music blasting, the music I used to spin back in the day when I was DJing. Every song took me back. I had no clue a place like this even existed, especially hidden in the middle of some industrial complex. You'd never think thete would be a restaurant, but yeah, there is, and it's a cool one! There's a big bar in the middle, and next door they've got a full-on venue for concerts and wrestling. The whole setup is sick. The menu? Totally insane. All the hot dogs looked wild, but I ended up going with the Elote Dog. This thing was loaded. Grilled corn, cotija cheese, mayo, chili powder, cilantro, bacon bits, and a fat slice of lime right on top. And this hot dog wasn't small either, you need a fork just to get into it. Every bite had flavor. The corn and lime together hit just right, the bacon gave it that crunch, and the cheese pulled it all together. Super good. This spot was a little off the route I usually take, but now I'm definitely checking out their other locations. This place was a great vibe and Jacqueline the bartender was super friendly and sweet too!

    SMALL Dirty Esquite

    Ok so don't be scared by the drive here.... Between a bunch of warehouses is a good time waiting to happen! Delicious dogs topped high with quality toppings. Great outdoor space! Iconic murals and music blaring the only way LA knows how to do! Beer and wine options and large tvs to display the latest fights! A great place that cannot be missed out on!

    First time here and I arrived around around 7pm to catch a Dodger game just to find out they close at 8:30pm on a Friday night. I still wanted to try their food so I had their Buffalo wings, fries, and their birria tacos (which I forgot to take a picture of). Overall it was a great experience, customer was outstanding, and the food was bomb!. They do have scheduled Dodegers watch parties so look for those dates on their IG @the_compound_la .

    Spacious sports bar. They have plenty of street parking. Tables inside and outside. Came to watch the Dodgers game with my friends and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly. They have plenty of food and beer options. The food was delicious and affordable. Great place to catch up with friends. They also have a section for kids to play.

    Cool space
    Kath M.

    Wow. Found this gem whilst driving in bumper to bumper traffic on the 5 freeway. We're vegans so stumbling on a hotdog place that has options for us was a real treat. The Beyond Sausage hotdog with onions and peppers was excellent, the fries were excellent, the draft beer was excellent and cold. The decor is cool and service was great. It's worth venturing into the commercial industrial neighborhood to find this joint. I almost forgot to mention the deep fried Oreos with horchata whipped cream. I rest my case.

    Second time here. My 4 year old requested the lace with hot dogs, fries a huge legos. We were the first ones here and got our food about 10 minutes after arriving. The music is on point inside and outside

    Is this place clean dog friendly?

    Yes, there is an outdoor patio area. Another patron had their dog leashed sitting next to their table.

    Is it halal certified?

    It's pork bacon wrapped, so I would say no

    Honestly, the classic Korean corn dog is the best one and the only one that I would order again…read morefrom here. It is both sweet and savory if you add sugar on it. I recommend light sugar. Any more sugar would make the sweetness overpower the savoriness. The signature Two Hands corn dog did not have much flavor. Maybe they skimped on the seasoning? Also, I do not think the ranch sauce complimented the corn dog well. Apparently the potato corn dog is a fan favorite. Personally, I think it has too much potato and the cheetos powder is a strange addition on it. For the filling, half mozzarella & half sausage is the way to go. You get the best of both worlds. Eat the corn dog while it is hot to get that cheesy pull. As for the dirty fries, they were crispy and good but the portion is too small for how much it costs. These are actually tater tots rather than fries. The dirty sauce that it comes with tasted like spicy mayo. This is a very small place without any seating. Even the parking lot is small. Inside, they have a self order tablet, which is kind of nice. Online ordering is available through their website.

    I finally got the opportunity to try Two Hands. The parking lot is shared by other stores in the…read moreplaza so it can get pretty busy, especially around school drop off/pickup times as there's a school across the street. There are two small tables and a few extra chairs as you wait for your order. I got the Classic Corndog with half mozz, half beef sausage. I perused the site prior and I misunderstood as I saw that it was extra to do half & half but in the store it's the opposite. If you get this, please do yourself a favor and eat it while it's hot and fresh. The corndog had a nice crunchy exterior, nicely coated in sugar and topped with ketchup and mustard. It was almost too much sugar but just make sure you are getting a bite of the cheese and sausage to balance it out. The cheese was nice and melty for a satisfying pull.
