Reminds me of my childhood. Good burgers and thick cut fries. Gyro wrap had the meat nicely crisped. Would be even better with a good greek tzatziki sauce but I have not found a tzatziki I like in California yet. Great value compared to other...Read More

I got the double mushroom burger and it was phenomenal. Easily one the best burgers I have ever had. The portions were large and the prices were extremely reasonable. The staff was nice to talk with and very friendly. I would recommend 10/10.

First time visiting and we were impressed! Hotdogs were nicely grilled and the veggies were fresh, so the flavor was great. Fries were delicious - thin, crispy, but soft inside, best fries I’ve had in awhile.

The new Dandy Dogs is now a 5 STAR restaurant! The french fries are better than John's (best in town) and the burger is as good as Hop Devine. Go now, before it is too crowded!

All the ingredients were extremely fresh and high-quality in my double cheeseburger. Same with the fries. My order came very quickly. Don’t tell anyone about this hidden gem! I enjoyed this as much as an In-N-Out Burger, but without the long lines and crowds!

This place doesnt look like much but the owners who work there are always so pleasant. The hot dogs were great but the burgers were amazing. The Male owner makes the best crust on a burger hands down.
