This place is amazing. They have something for everyone and the smell of the corn dog cooking as you walk by brings back childhood fair memories. I had the fried pickle and my hubby had the classic. Staff is nice and friendly. read more

The Rusty Dog - Food Trucks Near Me

I'm not typically hyped over food truck fare due to long lines, high prices, etc. but I was at an event that only had food truck options for concessions. The Rusty Dog had the shortest line and a corn dog didn't sound half bad, so I went for it. I think this truck is a hidden gem and honestly, shocked that the line wasn't the longest in the place. I ordered the "shish-ka-dog" which is sections of hot dog-cheese-hot dog-cheese on a stick wrapped in a crisp-tender, slightly sweet pillow of corn bread corn dog-I-ness. I am so happy I opted for something that sounded a little exciting. The cheese was ooey gooey yet solid enough to keep the pieces of hot dog perfectly spaced to give you hot dog, cheese and corn bread in every bite. Utterly mouthwatering! The fries were crispy and seasoned without being overly salty. Fry sauce was just okay but but not bad by any means. Only downside was the long wait, but the price was very reasonable and the service was friendly. Renewed my faith in food trucks!!! read more

The Rusty Dog - Shish-ka-dog with a side of fries & fry sauce - Food Trucks Near Me

First timer. Hands down the best corn dog I've had. What makes it great for me is that you can taste the meat!!! It's a delicious hotdog with a nice crunch that blends well. Well done read more

The Rusty Dog is awesome!! I love their corn dogs! The service is fast and the food comes out pretty quickly. My only suggestion would be to ask them to cook your corn dog well because I have gotten them with the batter not cooked all the way through. This usually only happens when they are super busy and they always happily rectify the situation. This is a food truck, so be prepared to eat outside in the elements or in your car! read more

I really enjoyed the corn dogs I just had. I think the prices are very reasonable. Thought I needed 2 but one would have been plenty. Unique menu - Hot Rusty was super good. Other corn dog trucks in Boise...I think Rusty Dog is better. read more

This corn dog truck was in my apartment complex today. I decided to go to them because they are a small business and it's the time to support them. I'm not much of a corn dog fan. Let me tell you, I am so glad that I stopped by and got a corn dog. I got the Shish-ka-dog. The batter was crispy, warm, sweet and savory. Tasted almost like a corn bread. I ate it on less than two minutes. No regerts. The guy inside was super nice also. He thanked me for stopping at his food truck. I should have thanked him for what he was doing. We need small businesses and we definitely need to support them. I would go to this food truck again if I saw it. read more

The Rusty Dog - Shish-ka-dog. Alternating bites of hot dog and Colby jack cheese. - Food Trucks Near Me

Great dogs and friendly people. What you get is the big fair experience without the high prices and the flies . Highly recommended.

Fair food is great. You can't deny it. Well, I guess you can, and I'd like to have a chat if you do. Anywho, most people I know love fair food. I go to the fair not for the shows, not for the rides, sometimes for the animals, but always the food. But fairs are only at certain times of the year, and thanks to COVID none of us will be attending Western Idaho Fair in 2020. What if I told you you could still get your fair food fix? More specifically, your deep fried, salty, crunchy fair food corn dog fix? WELL YOU CAN! The Rusty Dog is an Idaho-born food truck serving the Treasury Valley fresh hot corn dogs throughout the year. In addition to a classic fair-style corn dog (Rusty Dog, $6) they offer several other innovated varieties. A personal favorite is the Hot Rusty ($7). It's a cut up polish sausage dog (high quality) dipped in their delicious homemade batter, topped with pieces of jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and drizzled in hot honey. Oh my goodness the first bite into this was truly spectacular! It took me right back to when I first remembered my first corn dog. I am lover of spicy foods, so the jalapeños were an excellent addition. And who doesn't love cream cheese?! I also got a side order of hand cut fries (only $3) and was delighted to see how generous the portion was. The best part: I got this in the beginning of May! Fair food without having to wait! The person running the truck this day was a very nice gentleman I assume was the food truck owner. He was incredibly friendly! Make sure to leave a good tip. ***I highly recommend downloading the Street Food Finder app to keep track of when and where you can find them! read more

Extremely awful customer service! The bigger lady had a terrible attitude the entire interaction. The food is definitely not worth the experience! I would recommend Scotty's Hot Dogs. Much better customer service and prices! read more

Overall pretty good! Highly recommend their cheese dogs. Pass on the fries. Even fresh off the fryer they were soggy.

3.5 stars for me... I wanted to love this place, but in all honesty, it was simply mediocre. The cook on the cornmeal makes it look as though they are using stale oil, but I'm pretty sure they are hitting it with too high of an oil temp for the entire cook so you get a darker color and a faint twinge of burnt flavor. The batter is a bit too thick and the inside is steamed so you get a gritty mouth feel. The cheese inside one of them was interesting, but it was separate from the hot dog so much less successful than it could have been. Fries, while limp, were flavorful and properly seasoned with a seasoned fry sauce accompaniment. Unlike many food trucks or restaurants, they gave adequate amounts of napkins. The order had a nice presentation as the larges are long and bundled with a few of them, they looked like a bouquet of flowers. With a few tweaks, this place could vastly improve. read more

I got to try Rusty Dog at the Meridian Christmas parade. They hand dip each corn dog, and oh my goodness are they amazing! They tasted homemade, and not greasy. My friends just smelled them, and had to go get their own. We all loved them! read more

Indigo and I just shared the best corn dog I've ever had! Better then the ones at the fair. The gentleman was very nice. The French fries were wonderful and Indigo loved them! I'm glad I stopped here for a late lunch. Will be back! Indigo gives the Rusty Dog 50 stars! read more

The corn dogs are ok for me. The staff is friendly and nice. I got the bacon dog and I could barely taste the bacon. I was hoping for a crunch from the bacon but it was a thin slice that was more chewy when I found out I had bacon. I do like corn dogs and they had a variety of ways they serve. Maybe next time I'll just try a normal dog. Give them a try if you see them at one of the truck meets. read more

They take credit cards which was super nice! I highly recommend the Hot Rusty! It is amazing, perfectly battered spice dog with a jalapeño honey glaze! Amaze balls! The fries are hand cut and they fry sauce is on point! read more

Saw their truck at the Cascade rodeo and thoroughly enjoyed the corndog with cheese in it, and the staff was so friendly too! Loved it so much, went to their facebook to see if they'd be in any locations near us. A few food trucks were having an event at the Payette brewery, so we decided to go. This time, the man working was unfriendly, condescending, and judgemental! He said things like "yeah you just want some deep fried cheese, huh you guys love deep fried cheese?" in a completely disgusted manner. We laughed this off and waited for our order, not to mention we were the only ones there. He proceeded to continue to address us in an unprofessional and rude manner. Loved them the first time, but the downright judgemental and careless attitude was enough for me to take my deep fried cheese business elsewhere. 0/5 stars worst food truck experience ever PS I downloaded yelp just to share this experience, it was that bad read more

The Dog was amazing and the fries are so good, super nice cheerful guy everything was cooked fresh so it was nice and hot when it was given to us read more

A little pricey, but worth every penny. The BEST corn dog I've ever had, and I would happily to travel to whatever location they are at, to buy one. read more

The corn dogs are very tasty as are the fries. The service is friendly and quick. They have a choice between a 6" and Foot long dogs. The next trip will be the 6" as a foot long was too much for me when you add the fries. read more

My kido and our family love their personality and their food. If you ever see them at an event make sure to stop by and give them a try!

Very tasty, but need to change fryer oil! Unless it's normal, everything I order my food looks burnt.

Oh my goodness! Best corndogs ever! I wasn't a big corndog fan but after tasting these I need to eat them all the time! Great price for the quality of food! read more
