My son introduced me to this little spot on board, the Battleship Iowa. We live within walking distance, so we did not have to worry about the parking headache. My son told me all about the chicken wings. He was excited to take me to lunch. I opted for the flat top cut in half. It was very good. My son got wings and fries which he found out they will not be having much longer. He was disappointed in that news, but was happy to be eating on an actual battleship. The fries were hot and crispy. I stole a few and they have yummy seasoning on them. They have some tables and chairs under the shade, which was very nice. We enjoyed our lunch and beautiful weather. This spot is only open on Friday Saturday and Sundays now I will definitely go back. read more

Vicky's is a pretty underrated spot but pretty hard to get to given it's within the terminals of the Port of LA. It's at on the stern of the USS Iowa and has a sizeable menu. It's a nice spot for both warship nerds (like me) and to also just watch everyday port activities. You may even get lucky to see ships come in and out of the harbor. My recommendation is to on Wednesdays for their $1 wing Wednesday's. I ended up getting a 8 piece with a side of tots which only came out to be around $12. Which is a pretty good deal. You also have the gift shop right next to it which is also worth checking out. It really does cover a unique experience and you usually want to explore the ship and just unwind. read more

Vicky's Doghouse is a hotdog stand on the deck of the Battleship IOWA, and it was such a cool experience visiting here. The food was okay and pricey, pretty standard hot dogs, fries, and drinks, but the atmosphere more than made up for it. It's pretty amazing to sit outside and enjoy food and drinks on this historic battleship. The kids had a blast exploring the ship, climbing up and down the ladders, checking out the decks, and pretending to be part of the crew. It really brought history to life for them. After all that excitement, relaxing at Vicky's Doghouse with some cold drinks and hot dogs was perfect for the weekend. The staff was friendly, and the casual outdoor setup made it easy to just sit back, enjoy the ocean breeze, and take in the view of the harbor. You grab a beer and eat a hot dog, while enjoy the salty taste of the wind blowing from the sea and feel the history of the giant ship in the past. It's definitely more about the experience than the food but it makes for a great family fun and a unique weekend adventure in Long Beach! read more

We had a group of 20 people take a guided tour of the USS Iowa and ate at Vicky's Doghouse after the tour. The hot dogs were lukewarm at best. The Nathan's hot dogs would have been so much better if hot. The buns were good. What a waste of Nathan's hot dogs. read more

I was looking to have a really good hot dog I found them on Yelp. Sadly I was disappointed... Me and my friend ordered two hot dogs they were totally cold we ordered onion rings and french fries which were totally dripping in grease almost.. had to return the food we got our money back.. I must say they do have great staff that was very kind and apologize for the hot dogs being cold. The lady explained that the warmer was cut off.. I would hope the staff will pay attention to that when they're serving hot dogs that they're cold... Other than that it was a great view. Make sure you check your hot dogs and make sure they're not ice cold read more

If you're going to have a hotdog make it special Vicky's hotdogs house it's on the historic USS Iowa and it's free to get on the ship for just the hotdog restaurant which also has beer and you can sit on the sunny deck and enjoy watching the ships pass by on this beautiful really cool battleship there are tours available and I highly recommend it. Also they have clean restroom facility and helpful people ready to answer. Any questions you have about the ship I love their chili cheese, dog and a Heineken. read more

This is really a hidden gem! Located on the Battleship of Iowa there's this cute little hot dog stand named after the captains dog (I believe it was the captain lol) which I thought was so sweet!! We went for wing Wednesdays bc they have $1 wings (must buy 4) and they were really good! We also got 2 hot dogs I unfortunately can't remember the names but they have a lot of options! The service was so great and helpful! This is a great spot to visit with the kiddos, family, or even a solo day! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Food all good quality ingredients. Note the Orange Crush drink is gone. Fries are really good Service was quick and polite on this Wednesday at noon. Sit at tables (without cover) to hear your order number called. Remember a portion goes to the foundation for the ship. Yes you can visit Vickies without an Iowa tour. Parking- swipe your credit card on the way in and on the way out to complete the payment. read more

Vicky's Doghouse - Menu 240326 - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Pedro, California

Great food and service.Great to be able to eat sitting on the deck of a famous battleship.

Great food, cold beer and the best waterfront view in the entire harbor. I love watching the ships coming in an out of the harbor, and seals playing in the water. Not to mention, you are on an amazing historical BATTLESHIP! You never know what you will see at Vicky's. It's also free to come aboard to Vicky's, no museum ticket required! read more

The hotdogs were delicious and the location (on the USS Iowa) was really great. The only problem that we had was the tots and onion rings were a bit overdone and it tasted like the oil was old. We had the Steel Beach BBQ and the Destroyer. read more

Vicky's Doghouse - Steel Beach BBQ and Destroyer. - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Pedro, California

I am a huge hot dog fan and really enjoy a go one. Vicky's has a nice variety of menu from simple mustard dog to BBQ beef covered dog. Tots and fries are good and orders are good size. Overall good food with great taste. read more

I went here to help support the folks at the Iowa museum. Let's run through the basics: 1- parking One hour free parking. Remember, downtown Pedro charges for parking so this is a bonus! 2- admission This does not get you a tour, but it gets you to the back where the small food hut is located. You enter via the rear gangplank. The security team will ask if you're there for food or tour, but access to the restaurant is free. 3- seating They have a whole bunch of tables with a tent on the back 4- ambiance Gotta say it's way cool. You sit looking at the rear turret of the 16" guns, on the teak deck of the ship. Across the channel is an active port, so watching the longshoreman work is really fascinating. 5- food Wait, you took to point five for food review? Read on, dear yelpers. It was a bit pricey, but every museum I've ever been to has had a wee bit of a price premium. BUT you are supporting the museum and getting fed. The buns looked like king Hawaiian buns. This was a pleasant surprise. The meat, I opted for Italian sausage, was super good. Well cooked. We got both the destroyer (chili) and the u boat (sauerkraut). The chili was fine, but the sauerkraut version I felt was superior. Really good kraut. Not overly vinegary (is that a word?) The service (it's order and pick up at the hut) is super fast. You're easily in and out in an hour, with plenty of time for eating, enjoying the view, enjoying the ambiance. The only downside was the onion rings. They weren't quite up to the level of the dogs. I'd opt for the fries next time. Overall... a very cool experience. I think there's enough real estate back there to have several food huts available. Different styles and types of food. They could turn it into a cool food court. read more

Regarding the service: my bill came to $26.99, and my change was $13.01. I was handed $13. I asked about the penny. "I don't have pennies," she said, "It's only a penny." She told me they only have quarters. And yet they charged me an amount that left them with my change. Theft is theft. They should either change their pricing structure, or eat the cost themselves instead of ripping off customers. The food was ok. read more

Best view in town while eating a creative themed dog. I had the U-boat and it was delicious. Fun place to take the fam for lunch, and there's also the Battleship Iowa museum right there to tour if you want to make a day of it and see a cool WWII battleship. read more

Wonderful tour on the Iowa! I don't think you can best a good plate of food on a historic boat, great service and good food here! The sun was shining and wind was blowing, absolutely great place to eat right next to the water. read more

Amazing service. Food was great would buy again!!! Onion rings were very very good!!!!

The perfect way to end our time on the USS Iowa museum. The food was fantastic. The corn dog was phenomenal and my husband absolutely loved the Flat Top hotdog. Very large portions of fries and perfect for both my teenage sons. We would visit the museum again just to eat here. Food was fast and great price for what you get! The gentleman cooking was very nice. read more

Vicky's Doghouse - Flat Top - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Pedro, California

The chili "tater tots" are killer good and the portion size is big enough for a 2fer share.

I was very excited once I heard they were opening a small food spot on the USS Iowa, and it did not disappoint. Ordered a couple of their hot dogs with toppings, a side of fries and a beer. Everything came out very fast and it tasted very good. Prices are a bit on the higher end for street food but not a big issue. The reason why I can't give it 5 stars is that all the toppings on our hot dogs were extremely cold which felt weird to eat. The fries were underwhelming as they were soft and soggy. But the flavor of the bread, Franks, sauces and toppings was good. The place is beautiful since you can sit next to the water, on the rear side of the ship and look at the port and a lot of the waterfront. It's a pretty cool experience. Service is good and friendly, no complaints there. Definitely will be back and hopefully they'll have crispy fries and warmer toppings. To find the place you just need to go to the back of the ship, and walk to the other side along the water. You will see a little container just in front of the rear cannons. Forgot to mention that part of the 4 star rating is because they use a lot of plastic utensils and cups. Being by the sea, I would expect them to use some sort of ecological option. read more

Visited the new Vicky's Doghouse located on the #battleshipiowa after I saw the article on LA Weekly about their grand opening this past weekend. HotDogs were yummy served on a kings hawaiian bun with this beautiful view which made our lunch even better! They also have 805 & modelo on draft We've never been here before so it was definitely worth a trip. (Dog and kid friendly ) Parking is free for the first hour and doesn't cost to go on the ship. Someone mentioned that they use a lot of plastic which is true since they're by the water, hope that changes soon! Great experience and everyone was really nice. Dogs and toppings were perfectly proportional. read more

We loved our experience here! I had the Battlewagon which was phenomenal! My husband had The Destroyer which he loved too. The onion rings we ordered were great, I just wish they had come with some kind of a sauce (ranch, bbq, or the chipotle Mayo that was on my hotdog). Also loved that they have 805 on draft. We couldn't have asked for a better lunch in a pretty awesome location! We will definitely be back! read more

Hotdog was missing the chips under the cheese sauce, when I pointed it out the clerk wouldn't even redo- he sprinkled a few chips on to of the rest of the dog. My salad was missing the avocado- all in all a terrible experience- will not return read more

A wonderful place to sit outside, feel the breeze and enjoy a meal. Served on Hawaiian sweet rolls with fabulous toppings, these dogs are satisfying. They even have a Beyond vegan/vegetarian option! If you aren't in a dog mood, or want something for sharing, there are great side dishes and mini corn dogs. I'll definitely be coming here for lunch and sunshine more often. read more

didn't get to order unfortunately rip. changed the rule right before i could order. started giving out just normal hotdogs.

Best Hot Dogs in the Shoreline!! San Diego has a gem. You can find the establishment on the USS Iowa Battleship. You don't have to pay to eat there but if you want to go inside the ship there is an admission fee of $20. read more

I've been waiting for Vicky's to open for a while now and it was so good!! Everything about it was like amazing. Staff was amazing and courteous. Food was superb. View of the harbor from the ship is great. I got the Steel Beach BBQ with a Nathan's sausage with half fries and half tater tots. Everything about that hotdog was absolutely amazing. I'll have to come by next weekend to try more of their options! read more

Outstanding menu with exceptional customer service!! Rotating tap is a plus. Great Beer options!

So we stopped by to give it a try and unfortunately they where closed. What's bad is that they had a 30 min sign up but even after 50 minutes of waiting no one ever showed up!! We got to explore the surrounding area but super bummed no one ever showed up. Very disappointed I think and i would suggest to call and hopefully find out if they will be open or not. Don't waste your time call ahead because open hrs does very. read more

A must stop when you end the tour of the famous USS Iowa! Great hot dogs and shaded area on the water to enjoy a break.

Decided to catch the Dodger game and try Vicky's Hot Dog stand on the fantail of the USS Iowa. The Dodger game vibe is awesome, great tv monitor and sound system. Was very disappointed with Vicky's Hot Dog stand. First off they weren't offering their standard hot dog menu, they only offered a Nathan's dog, frozen deep fried corn dogs, Jalapeno poppers & zuchinni. The hot dog was barely warm, plus they charged an extra 25 cents for onions. The corn dog, poppers and zuchinni were mediocre at best. The guy at the order window got our order all messed up, they forgot the zuchinni & bag of chips when we initially picked up the order. Had to wait an additional 10 minutes for the zuchinni to come out. Won't be coming back here for any more hot dogs and poorly prepared food. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Vicky's Doghouse. The hotdogs were yummy and the view from the fantail of the Iowa was great. We also appreciated the easy parking with the first hour free. read more

Absolutely fantastic food, great service, very polite. Fab views in the Historical ship, but still can't get over how awesome the food is.

So good! Went to the visit the Iowa and decided to try out Vicky's... It's a cute little place that didn't disappoint! The onion rings on top were crispy and good and my meal was actually pretty filling. read more
