I've been coming to this location since I was 5yo so 40 years +! It's been a few years since I've had one so I was craving it. My go to is bunless dog with mustard and chili (carb friendly). Price was $3.75, after tax $4.12. Regular dog with bun, I think is $6.75 before tax? Taste is what I remember! The dog still has the pop in the bite. Chili is like a sauce, on the runny side which I like. Mustard adds a nice sourness. Hit the spot! The guys that helped me were friendly. There was no line when I arrived at 12:22pm on a Saturday. I got my order within a minute! Location is easy to access from Vanowen street. There's a free parking lot or street parking. Ambience is iconic! It still has that old feel from when I was a kid. It's a simple shack. You order at the window and wait to the side after you order. There's simple seating outside. read more

Cupid's Hot Dogs - Bunless, carb friendly chili dog. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winnetka, California

I've always seen this place but never tried it. I used to also not be a fan of chili, but their chili is more of a sauce in my opinion. If you're a fan of a chili dog you definitely need to check them out. The 5 star is more for the service because the person who assist us was super helpful and informative about the area because we were just noticing that all the food spots in the area closes at 8. Something to keep in mind if you plan on stopping by late. They have plenty of outdoor seating and in the shade. read more

Cupid's Hot Dogs - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winnetka, California

ICONIC valley hot dog stand that has stood the test (and taste) of time! You could almost imagine folks eating here from each decade since they opened in 1962... the 60's hippies, 70's rockers, 80's disco, funk & new wavers, 90's rappers & flannel-wearing grunge rockers... Their dogs have serious SNAP, courtesy of casings by Vienna. The all-beef hot dogs are juicy and delicious. Their chili is very mild - even your spice-averse friends could love it. The staff is lovely, the purple-haired girl who will show you pictures of her various hair color experiments through the years and the mellow guy with painted nails (green, the last time) will smile and play along. There is a lovely, shady & breezy outdoor patio with piped in music- Billy Joel, The Eagles, Little River Band & The Doors. The tables have song lyrics painted on them - fun! Plentiful parking in their dedicated lot, but no restroom. One wish: to-go chili in a smaller container. They do have a $40 offering... read more

Today felt like the perfect summer day to have a Chicago dog so I made a stop at Cupid's on my way back from running errands. Their hot dogs have that perfect snap to them- so good. I also managed to get the perfect shot with The Valley mural in the background lol (all for Yelp!) Customer service is always excellent. Ambiance is nice, there's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy lunch al fresco. If you haven't yet stopped by for a summer hot dogs, what are you waiting for? read more

Opened 1962- The Cupid's Hot Dog dynasty started in 1946, with the first location being in North Hollywood. It's no longer there, and unfortunately, many locations have come and gone since they first opened. This Winnetka location is now the oldest. Cupid's menu is as simple as it gets. Five different types of Hotdogs: The Cupid, Reuben, Chicago, Triangle and the Veggie. It's the same dog (except the veggie), with different toppings. I had the Cupid Dog with cheese (chili, mustard, onion). The hotdog had a nice snap and was very tasty. The steamed buns were perfect. Unfortunately, the chili is a bit bland for my liking, but the Triangle dog with cheese was Great (no chili). I could eat a few of those at a time. The relish is very sweet, so I ordered it on the side. Overall, this is a very tasty dog! There is a reason why old school places like this are still around (Munch Box, Bill's Burgers, The Hat, The Bucket, Etc.) The menus are all very simple and the quality of the food stands up. Also, the level of nostalgia is enough for people like me to drive a little bit further. Gotta get a hot dog at Cupid's. read more

A great old school hot dog stand. It's a walk up counter but there are some picnic tables off to the side in a shaded area. I thought the prices were very reasonable and liked that they had a create-your-own option for hot dogs as well as several pre-set choices. I liked some aspects of my chili dog: the hot dog had a nice snap and the bun was fresh. I was not at all a fan of the chili though. I found it to taste very bland and mealy. I also love having fries with my chili dog but Cupid's doesn't sell them. Some people walk next door to Daglas Drive-in and purchase fries to bring back for their meal. I would return to Cupid's and just skip the chili next time. Helpful tip: Pay with cash and save 4% on your order. read more

Cupid's Hot Dogs - Chili dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Winnetka, California

One of the best places in the valley for a chili dog. The hot dogs are snappy and the chili is tasty, not overpowering, oily or salty like most establishments. I've been coming to Cupids for over 30 years and very little has changed. The menu has gotten bigger to include sandwiches but the chili is why you're here. Their meat chili is my absolute favorite and you can order a large container of just chili to go. Lines can be long during lunch but there's plenty of parking and decent seating if you're lucky. read more

Its LABOR DAY! So.. its a good day for a hot dog! Its my 2nd time here The young cook; Nathan was the one making the hot dog today. It was made beautifully! I tried the Reuben hot dog with mustard, cheese & sauerkraut. Not bad! Its a 7/10. But.. taste wise,.. I like the Chicago style hot dog better. It packs more flavors in it so it deserves 9/10 from me. Will stop by again to try the other items. read more

Established in 1946. Cupid's Hot Dogs is a no frills hot dog stand with only a couple locations left (Winnetka and Chatsworth). I remember the Northridge location growing up in the SFV (no longer there). This location in Winnetka keeps it simple: hot dogs (4 kinds), Chips, Drinks. The hot dogs have a wonderful snap to them. The chili is on the blander side and thin consistency- you either love it or don't. I like their Reuben Dog; it has sauerkraut, cheese, and mustard. Yummy! There is a cute small outside patio on the premises. It's shaded by trees. Pay Cash and get 4% off. Cards accepted as well. Private Parking is available on their private lot. read more

I went to Cupid's Hot Dogs since I was craving chili dogs, and these were perfect. Definitely some of the best in Los Angeles the chili is flavorful, the snap on the dog is just right, and it's served in that classic old-fashioned hot dog stand style. The service was top-notch, friendly, fast, and welcoming which made the experience even better. The outdoor seating area is great, and the new artwork in the parking lot adds a nice touch. Cupid's has never disappointed me. I remember going to the Victory Blvd location as a kid, and I'm glad they're still around serving amazing hot dogs. read more

Originally opened in 1946 Cupid's is a famous spot in Los Angeles to grab a great hotdog. They have many locations in the valley, this being the southernmost one. Cupid was a nickname of the founder's wife and now it is in the third generation of the family. They have a very large free parking lot attached, and the service was truly great. The employee behind the counter was super sweet and she was very helpful. It was our first time so we wanted to try a mix of items. We ordered the Cupid, the Triangle, and the Reuben. I would suggest adding cheese to the Cupid and the Triangle, which is what we did. All three were really good and the dog itself was very thin but snappy. The whole meal really hit the spot. I also got a cup of chili and thought it was great. Overall, a great place to grab a great hotdog. read more

Wife thought they had switched this Cupid dog into tacos 1986, but it would still keep it Cupid hotdog so we ended up getting a hotdog well very disappointed. The hotdog was tiny and the wife was disappointed with flavor. I guess it's gonna be a Costco dog next time $1.50 at Costco $7.25 at Cupid. I've been to Chicago and doesn't compare. read more

Just went there because of their reputation. As a longtime former Chicago resident I went because I read that Cupid's had great Chicago hot dogs. NOT TRUE. 1. They have stopped using Vienna Chicago hot dogs and now serve a cheap and not good alternate. 2. Their buns are not the great Chicago poppy-seed buns but some cheap imitation that literally disintegrates in your hand because it cannot handle the relish and mustard leaving you with a mess. 3. So you overpay for a cheap imitation of a Chicago hot dog. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. read more

Dude. It's Cupid's. Even if you didn't grow up in The Valley during the 70s, it's an institution. I make the trek from Long Beach every now and then. Love this place! read more

Always love them. Their chili is the best!! Outdoor and indoor seating. The place is pretty casual. Friendly staff and decent prices. Order at the window and sit wherever you like. They accept cash, card and Apple Pay. read more

Last time I had Cupid's was at the now closed location on Lindley near CSUN. Great customer service. You eat outside behind the restaurant or you can order it to go. Tried the Cupid Dog (chili dog) for the first time. It was pretty good. My personal favorite is the Chicago. Their hot dogs are made with Vienna sausage just like the hot dogs in Chicago. read more

I had a veggie dog with sauerkraut and onions. It was delicious. The guy that made the hotdogs and takes care of everything was super nice and accommodating. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to sit outside even if it's not a busy street. My husband had the chili dogs and he loved them. read more

Solid dog, good bite. The chili is ample but it lacks a taste or kick. Love to support a Valley institution such as this, but there are much tastier chilis out there. read more

Been going here since the 60's. My grandma lived close and she and I would walk over once a week for a dog. Still remember the lady that worked there, she had flaming red hair. Best dogs ever! "One dog, light O's and a shit load of chili" read more

The best hot dog you'll get anywhere. Been coming here my whole life and the quality has never gone down. A valley staple.

My dad took me here all the time when I was younger, sadly he passed away a couple months back. I've been eating at the back tables where we would sit usually. Hot dogs are elite! Featuring fries from daglas read more

A SFV classic, if you haven't been to Cupid's you need to fix that ASAP. I am so glad that this location is going to still be open with the recent announcement that the Northridge location is closing. I grew up at the Northridge location, but this is the same experience. A small hot dog stand with some outdoor seating and a small parking lot in back (there is also some street parking). This is a great place to grab a quick lunch or dinner bite. Been coming here for decades and it is consistent in every way. The service is fast and friendly, the vibe is very chill and casual, and it's a local legend. The traditional Cupid Dog is a Vienna beef hot dog with mustard, onions, and chili. If it's your first time, I highly recommend it. My personal favorite is the Chicago; onions, relish, mustard, tomatoes, peppers, pickle and celery salt. If you are feeling basic, you can order just a plain hot dog with ketchup and it is delish. For sides they offer bags of chips, and they have a soda fountain... one cool thing about that is that you can order a soda (with refills) or a "shot" of soda at a reduced price (no refills). One very cool thing is that they have a beyond sausage option, so if you are craving hot dogs but have a vegetarian friend with you, they have an option here as well. Counter service, they take credit cards. For sure worth trying if you are visiting the SFV! read more

Ordered chili dogs and distinctly made it a point not to put cheese on them! What shows up? Cheese on the chili dogs. They went RIGHT in the trash! Had them delivered so didn't want to hassle it. You just lost a customer! read more

Food, Service, and prices. Have been going to Cupid's for 67 years and it's a must go to when I am in the SFV.

Great food! Fresh and true to their menu! A bit of a wait, but I personally like that they take one order at a time, and serve it before taking the next. It ensures accuracy ! My cashier had such a warm disposition. My food was delicious per usual. Will keep returning. Love the original Cupid Dog just as it comes. read more

Great hot dogs, love the chill and the dog has a great snappy texture. Been going since the 60's, the best!

Can't believe it took us so long to visit here. Amazing food, service, art. Casual and interesting ambience. Thanks for the memories and the nourishment. Excited to return soon. We got the Chicago Dogs after a recent trip to Chicago. Toppings and presentation were WOW. The wiener itself was not quite the same. Not bad, I say. Just a bit different. Still, a wonderful way to ease the craving of a Chicago Dog. Very affordable! Thanks! read more

Can't stop craving these dogs. They are the same at ever cupids location. The chilli just hits the spot: always add cheese. It has a cool retro vibe, either eat in your car. Or eat on their many outdoor tables. Everyone is always nice and fast. Will keep coming here for years to come! read more

Delicious dogs! Even better chili. Cupids has been a staple of SFV since the early 40s and every time I come here I understand why. Their hot dogs have that snap, are so flavorful and their no bean chili is delicious! I have to say I like it better than Tommy's. Not as greasy and doesn't make you feel as gross when eating more than 1 serving of chili. They offer several different "ways" to get your hot dog served up to order. -Cupids: Mustard, Chili, Onions $5.20 -Chicago: Mustard, relish, Onions, tomatoes, peppers, pickels & celery salt $6.15 -Ruben: Mustard, cheese, saurkraut $6.45 -Triangle: Mustard, Onions & relish $5.20 -They even offer PLANT BASED- Veggie: Plant based sausage and add what you want $6.20 They don't have fries, which is a bummer, only chips and sodas (but ide recommend hitting up Daglas next door for amazing French fries, add some of cupids chili and it's the best chili fries) Its a walk up and order window All outdoor seating (a few tables in a courtyard behind the stand) Parking lot behind the stand and some street parking. They also offer take home and cook hot dog packs to enjoy at home *10% Off Yelp Check In Offer, be sure to check in and take advantage* One of the best hot dogs and chili around!!! 10/10 The only reason they don't get that 5th star is because I love fries with a delicious chili dog, which sadly isn't an option. BRING THE FRIES BACK! read more
