    I can't speak to how amazing the customer service was here. The owners are absolutely wonderful and the food possibly even better!

    Note: not a dog wash...this is a food establishment!…read more Hidden gem you should put on your list. Interesting location but not quite visible on first glance. Tucked away in a small plaza next to a hotel. If you like root beer...then it is a must have and try. Served in a frosted mug (pictured). They have other handcrafted sodas. We had the Fuji dog, French dip, chili cheese dog, garlic fries and ube chocolate chip chip cookie. Delicious! We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. So many different toppings on fries, sausages, gourmet dogs, burgers and sandwiches still to try! They have a kids menu and dessert as well.

    We were on a family vacation and happened to come across this place while walking near our hotel…read more The adults had ordered pizza from somewhere else, so we only ordered two boxes of popcorn chicken for the kids. Honestly, we weren't expecting much. But after the first bite, we were all surprised. The chicken tasted just like Korean fried chicken (and we're Korean!), and it was incredibly crispy. It seemed like they used fresh oil because the coating was light, clean, and not greasy at all. All three families tried it, and everyone agreed it was delicious. We ended up coming back later that evening to order more for the adults! We got the sauce on the side, and it tasted just like authentic Korean sweet and spicy fried chicken sauce. I know this place specializes in hot dogs, so I never expected the popcorn chicken to be this good. It was honestly one of the best Korean-style fried chicken flavors we've had, and the price was very reasonable too. I really wish they would open a location in our neighborhood. Not every place that claims to serve Korean fried chicken actually tastes like it, but this one absolutely does. If you're looking for authentic Korean-style fried chicken, I highly recommend giving their popcorn chicken a try!

    Pretty good but I got the Triple potato with corn cheese topping. My only complaint is that the…read morepotatoes were much more greasy than the potato corndog I've had at other places. Like oil soaked. The sweet potato one was really good and a Much lighter texture. My son also got the bacon topping. Would pass on that. I think he hated it. Can't go wrong with the classic with sugar though. Friendly staff and welcoming environment

    This is definitely my favorite spot in Vista to grab a glizzy!…read moreAlso, it was National Hot Dog Day, and they had a free hot dog coupon in the app. Winning! Got 2 of my friends to join the app and brought them along as well. The guy running the register was extremely helpful and kind. A+ service! I decided to get the Old Town. It's my favorite. Bacon, caramelized onions, and pickled jalapeños! Yum!! I also ordered a tray of hot tots. They were really good! Can we talk about their fountain machine selection?! ALL of my favorites! Root beer, orange soda, Hawaiian fruit punch. Wow!! The food is always delicious, and I definitely like to sit out on the patio to eat, but we are in a heat wave, so we decided to sit inside!! I hear their hamburgers are really good, so that is what I will try next time.

    I had driven by here quite often but it was never really on my radar. Friends of mine (K,W & P, I'm…read moretalking about you), had told me about a deal they had for national hot dog day. I looked it up and decided I needed to partake too.. It's a big open space with a lot of seating. I waited in line. There were a few people ahead of me but I placed my order for 2 dogs to go when they finished. Then I sat outside in the shade and waited and waited and waited. There were quite a few open seats outside. It was trivia night so I listened to that to pass the time. People were pretty into it. I used to play a lot at other places in the past but these questions seemed kind of hard. Finally a female server came up to me and comment on how long I had been waiting (30 minutes at this point) and said she'd check on my order. I had noticed others after me getting their orders so I'm not sure what happened. She disappeared for another 10 minutes or so but returned with my order. I appreciate her. I get that they were busy but a heads up upon ordering would be nice. I didn't order anything difficult, just two hot dogs, one plain and one with a few condiments. My hot dog was really good. I love sauerkraut and theirs is good. My friend loves his hotdogs/sausages and enjoyed his. He wants to come back now! I also had no idea how extensive their menu would be, bfast burritos, chicken, smash burgers etc. I'll come back but maybe check their calendar first so as not to have a repeat.

    Updating review after owner reached out. I was given the…read moreproper channel to send the feedback to and the fact he took the time to explain shows he cares. I still enjoy this place and will continue to support it. -----previous review---- Love the vibe and the food. But they recently changed their menu. I didn't know this until I got my food. I ordered expecting to get the original fried chicken sandwich on the hawaiian roll. But out came this pathetic looking chicken sandwich on a sesame bun (later found out they up charge for the hawaiian roll) with a flat piece of fried chicken that is significantly a downgrade from the original in terms of texture, juiciness, and taste. My husband loves beer and I don't drink but this place had good food so it was perfect for us. But apparently not anymore. Prices go up and quality went down. I don't mind paying for good food, but I don't think changing the menu was the way to go. That was not it. Likely won't be returning unless their food gets better. Bring back the original Bad Muthaclucka!

    This spot has gone down hill dramatically. First off, the…read moreseating area is always filthy. In my mind, that's a representation of cleanliness in the kitchen too. Food isn't as good as once was. I just ate lunch and the beer was the best part of it lol. The Girl with the glasses isn't very friendly. I'd have a better interaction with the robot that will eventually take her job.

    This was highly recommended by my daughter so I thought of giving it a try!…read more I love cheese sticks so I got a Jumbo hand dipped cheese stick with pepper jack and a Jumbo hand dipped corndog for my hubby !!! I didn't chk the price but WOW!!! $9 for EACH???????? When I got my order, the hand dipped batter were like kind of over cooked to the point that they were burnt and batter was bland and burnt side was so bitter to the taste. I went up to the cashier and asked if the corn dog was the way it looked like burnt... and he replied "yes" ... but its bitter to the taste. So he willingly exchanged or replaced another cheese stick ..... but it was still burned !!!!!!! At this point I didn't want to waste my Jumbo cheese stick so I ate and finished it !! Hubby had a small bite of the Jumbo corn dog then it accidentally jumped off the table and rolled to the sticky floor ! When I was trying to get up from my seat ... bench was so sticky but i had to leave and I really don't want to stick around !!! It was a sticky situation !!! Being my first experience here the rating of 2 stars are for them replacing my cheese stick ! I will have to think twice about coming back here .... BUT the Western Bacon hot dog LOOKS YUMMY and so are the other hot dog sandwiches !!!! It might be a while for me to give this business another try in another location! I think the corn dogs are too pricey for $9 ... I don't mind paying that much for the quality of food I am getting!!!!

    Cold reception. Place not very spacious. Looks clean but stepped on sticky floor by catchup and…read moremustard counter. Ordered two different corn dogs. They're both kind of burnt but one is more burnt. Very bitter taste of the batter (very dry too). Showed the guy and complained about the taste. Guy said that's how they do it. I'm not coming back and pay $9.00 for a burnt cheese dog. Hot dog on a stick at the mall taste way better. Corn dog tolerable burnt and batter not too dry. Asked about their mojo sauce and was answered rudely "There's the description right there" pointing at wall poster. (We were actually asking for a sample to taste and eventually given a small amount) Not a good service at all. One star for replacing burnt cheese dog with another burnt one. Don't care about this place. Food and service not good
