This place is like a Casper's on steroids, they have the great Casper dogs and buns, but the topping choices are off the charts like bacon wrapped, Nashville hot sauce. pepperoncini, etc. I ordered: Chili Cheese Dog (3.5 Stars) They make it knife and fork style, meaning there's so much chili on top, you can't pick it up with your hands. The chili is more that a condiment, it a major part of the dish. The chili was not spicy, a combination of meat and beans, nothing special, it could be from a can, if it was home made I would be surprised. The Cheese was a mild blend of cheddar and white cheese, from a bag, not fresh grated. The onions were fresh chopped. The bun and dog were Casper's. Bacon Wrapped Dog with mustard, onion and tomato (4 stars). The bun was fresh, but not steamed like Casper's. The Bacon was slightly crispy and a decent quality. I love that they have bacon wrapped so good. The rest was all good quality, chopped onions and tomatoes. Until next time... read more

50 bucks for 2 dogs frito boat and 1 lemonade Is pricey but not a deal breaker What is the deal breaker is lemonade so sour you can't drink it and hotdogs with zero flavor not to mention they forgot a hot dog on my Togo order had to drive back 6 miles Definitely won't be back Check out Jerry's how dogs they have much better food and service UPDATE Just a few hours after I left this review the owner took my name from Google to hunt me down on Facebook to send me a harassing message on messenger about her bad review. BEWARE read more

So we tried Boondoggies for the first time and we liked it a lot. They deliver where it counts - the hot dogs are excellent! Our group tried several specialty options, sides, and nachos, and everyone agreed the Casper dogs were a standout. Although for me personally I definitely preferred the build-your-own for the customized toppings over the specialty dogs. The main drawback for us was the nacho cheese sauce because we felt that it didn't match the quality of everything else. The location was clean and well-organized, and the customer service was excellent. We found the staff to be friendly, attentive, helpful, and patient. We were a fan of the decor, especially with the festive holiday touches that added a cheerful atmosphere. Boondoggies is doing a lot right. The dogs are tasty, the service is on point, and the atmosphere makes it a chic place to grab a bite. With a small tweak to that cheese sauce, this would easily be a 5-star spot! Either way, we'll be back to grab some fresh hotdogs from time to time. read more

Today was my first time visiting and unfortunately it left a very unwelcoming impression. The shop closes at 3:00 PM. We walked in at 2:25 PM, well before closing. There was no greeting at all when we entered, we were the ones who said hello first. The employee appeared annoyed from the moment we walked in. She took our order and immediately told us it had to be to-go because they were closing soon. We received our hot dogs by 2:38 PM, I find it a bit ridiculous to be forced out that early when we clearly could have finished our food in under 20 minutes, especially since we arrived a full 30 minutes before closing. There was no "hello," no "thank you," and no "goodbye." The entire interaction felt rushed and uncomfortable, as if our presence was an inconvenience rather than welcomed business. I live nearby and genuinely love supporting local businesses, but this experience made us feel unwelcome from start to finish. Based on this visit, I definitely won't be coming back. read more

Decent dogs, but priced a bit high. I'm not the biggest hotdog fan, but my wife is. She grew up down the way from Caspers in PH. So being able to have a Casper dog locally, brings her a bite of nostalgia. The dogs are totally decent, I thought mine were good the few times we went. They also have nachos and Frito boats etc. All of it is a throwback to treats we had as kids. I'm a fan of tater tots and theirs did not disappoint. But as I said earlier, the price is a little steep. I know running a business is not cheap. But I think when people buy hotdogs they aren't thinking of the final price tag. We paid in the neighborhood of $32 for cheese nachos, a Casper dog, polish dog and 1 ice tea. I get paying those kinda prices at an event or the theater etc. It just feels a bit steep for a standalone shop. There is indoor seating and some tables and chairs outside with a shade sail. The staff was friendly, but the wait time seemed a bit long considering there wa wonky one couple ahead of us. But I also understand they were doing mobile orders. That being said, the dogs are good, the tots are good and the tea is delicious. And when we're in the mood for this, we'd definitely come back. read more

This hidden gem is my one stop shop in downtown Brentwood. Whether I'm craving a salad (yes I know at a hot dog joint) or a hot dog and a shake this place has some delicious eats. The employees are all super friendly and have always greeted me with a smile. They make their own homemade ranch which might go down as the best ranch in Brentwood. Have it with fries, on a salad, with tots, or my own personal favorite fried cheese curds. Boondoggies you rock! read more

Was craving a Costco hot dog on a road trip real bad and looked up hot dogs near by just for a quick fix but WOW... now when I have a hot dog craving it's boondoggies. Wish there was one closer than my local Costco now. It's been a couple months and I'm somehow up past midnight because I can't sleep craving a hot dog I can't have without finding a reason for my husband to take me back to Yosemite already so figured it was time for a Yelp review. Please come to Colorado Boondoggies. We need a good wein!! read more

First time here got the bacon wrapped pulled pork hot link and it was 10/10 especially if you like spicy Also got the liquid sunshine redbull fusion and it was a perfect blend of guava, peach, & redbull. Highly recommend this place. 5 Stars read more

Got my chili dog and tots fix on at Boondoggies today and all though it was 103 degrees out (!), surprised that 1p lunch time was slow. Still recommending this cute, clean place for decent dogs, excellent tots, and solid service.

Boondoggies - Chili cheese dog and crispy tater tot's .. yum! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Brentwood, California

I'll be back. Hotdog was hot, bun soft. I could've used some more onion and tomato. Next time I'll know because they dress like you want.

I won't be back. My bun was not steamed and the restaurant reeks of oil. No way u can sit inside without coming out smelling like a fried French fry. Disappointed. read more

Love the dogs here -- as good as you'll find anywhere, and ten times better than the disgusting dogs, dirty shop and rude service you'd find at their competitor across town, Jerry's. This is the only place I'd go for a hot dog in the Brentwood area. read more

I had their chille cheese hotdog. AMAZING, and they were so nice. I love hotdogs I will be coming here again to try everything on the menu.

Every time we have eaten at Boondoggies it has been such a great experience. The customer service is on point, food is so good and always cool. I used to always go to Casper's with my parents and now I am taking my kids to Boondoggies. I love that I am building memories with a locally owned business. read more

I eat here at least once every couple of weeks. It definitely helps that they're just a block away from where I work. I always frequent their food truck at local events as well! I absolutely LOVE their chili dogs!! I always need to have a custom order made and they know my order by heart, which I love. The owners are amazing, they treat their employees well and their customer service is top-notch. I highly recommend visiting their location in Downtown Brentwood or making sure to hit up their food truck if you're at local events that they are participating in. They also offer a ton of other products such as milkshakes, tater tots and nachos! read more

Well, well, well me and the wife went for a dog yesterday and it was BOONDOGGIES AWESOME, the fries well lets say look out McDonald's there's a new Dog in town for us, we loved it. We will be back, let see 50 more time have to try all the dogs in the house!! It was very clean and inviting and Cory was very helpful for some first timer BOONDOGGIES, they have milkshakes as well next time. Will have pictures next time as well. Price was good as well between $22 / $30 compared to other restaurants in the area read more

I will start by saying my order was delivered by DoorDash, which is fine, I live less than a half a mile from Boondoggies and the dasher drove straight to my house. What isn't fine is the cold, mustard drowned hotdog! There was also very little cheese as well. First and last time ordering from here. They have one job there and that's to make a great hotdog and this was an epic fail. Who puts mustard on top of the cheese? I prefer my wet condiments inside the bun not on top. read more

Good dogs, white variety of options. outside tables. Parking sucks but still worth the effort.

Well, if you're looking for a very overpriced and very bland hotdog, this is the place. I ordered a Casper dog. It seemed very undersized compared to other Casper I've had brand not 100% sure it's an official Casper. Hotdog was Luke warm at best, the cheese barely melted on it, bacon bits almost nonexistent, considering the up charge for adding bacon. Extremely disappointed in the new owners decline of establishment since taking over. For a Friday night, the place was empty. This should've been my first clue. I was first in line and still had a long wait to be greeted and have my order taken. it also took a long time for me to receive my lukewarm hotdog will not be going back. As soon as we had been served, the workers sat down and got their phones out instead of keeping the place tidy and being ready for the next customer. read more

Saddest excuse for a hotdog specific eatery. Their Casper dog is cooked in a pot of water because all the flavor has leeched out of the hotdog. It's super sad and bland for $10. The bacon bits also has absolutely no flavor or crunch. HOW DO YOU SCREW UP BACON?? Whoever opened this place up has no idea how to cook a hotdog. Here's a tip. Use a non stick pan or cast iron. Put 1/2 inch of water in the pan, bring it to a boil, then put it on medium high heat. Put your hotdogs on the pan, let it steam cook, roll them around until the water evaporates. Then leave it on for a little more to brown. Flavor stays in the hotdog and it becomes nice and browned. It's really not hard to cook a already cooked meat. read more

Grabbed a polish dog w/ mustard and sauerkraut (and cherry coke) for a quick bite while running errands. It was as good as the polish dogs at Costco used to be. Quick and friendly service and don't have to drive 30+ miles to Dublin, Pleasant Hill or Walnut Creek for a Casper's or Kaspers dog when a craving hits. read more

The hotdogs were just "ok" in my opinion. There was nothing particularly wrong with them, but nothing that stood out flavor or texture wise.

First time we've gone, and all 4 hotdogs cooked and fixed to perfection. I'll be coming back often

I was looking forward to trying this place for the first time. How do you screw up a Casper brand hotdog? You buy it at Boondoggies! I cannot believe how bland they made the hot dog taste. But the chili they put over it was worse. yuck! The service was fine, nothing special. The place was completely empty on a Saturday afternoon even though the area was packed with farmers market patrons. Should have been my first clue. I paid $14+ for a bad hot dog and fountain drink. NEVER again. Also, FYI to the owner, once you drove away, the 2 people working immediately sat down at started scrolling on their phones. read more

Seems like ever since the original owners sold or left it hasn't been the same. My last 3 visits were less than good. The hot dog is not hot, Luke warm at best, I ask for extra mustard to be added, hardly any mustard at all. The bun was in 3 pieces and somewhat mushy. Terrible, no consistency to their product. Was. Ever like that before. And 3 times, same exact order, 3 different amounts. Yesterday, Dog, fries, large drink 12.36, last week over 15.00. The soda machine had little to no carbonation, it was like drinking syrup with a little water. I used to go 2-3 times a week. I think I'm done and will travel up Balfour to Jerrys were the hot dogs never fail, and the consistency is on point every time. Too bad as it was so close to me. read more

My son really wanted a hot dog, so this seemed to be the place to go. Big mistake. The hot dog looked green and didn't smell right. We asked the worker if it was supposed to be like that, and she said yes, it is "seasoned". My son tried one bite, then refused to have any more. The dog wasn't interested in the rest. read more
