    I feel like there's no real good place to go grab a quick beer after work in San Ramon that's easily accessible until dare devil dogs came to town. They always have great beer on rotation and if you go enough, they'll learn your beer preferences. Sometimes I walk in and Rob will just pour me a beer and it HITS every time. We used to come here so much that we developed relationships with the regulars. There's always a group of people who are always here drinking beers and talking about sports or whatever's going on, they are always here for a good time and super fun to talk to. The service is excellent, the minute you walk in, you feel like you're a regular too. It's very family friendly, our kids love the "hot dog place". They have great food and it's always rotating with creative new things. I feel like the vibe is stoner food. It's not healthy, it's hearty and comforting and you may need a nap afterwards. And I cannot stress this enough. THEY HAVE THE BEST FRIES IN THE WORLD. If I could put that sentence in bold font I could. GET THE FRIES. Oh also try the chili it is so damn good. And the jalapeño lumpia's are so fire and unique. Our kids love the smash burger also. Just get all the food. You can't miss.

    The Chicago Dog is the way to go here if you want a hot dog. Seriously just like I've had in Chicago and makes me miss the food out there! Pair that with a crisp beer or a cold soda and you've got the perfect meal. Service is always amazing here. This is the kind of place that has regulars and staff get to know what you like and have it waiting for you when you walk in. Just an awesome local spot that is a great way to spend a few hours. Don't forget they have 4 screens showing sporting events so no excuse not to be here!

    Where do I start? Dude at the bar was excellent! They have a great beer selection! Their chili is top notch! Burgers are very good! Have a great following, if you like beer, must try!

    Stoopid fries

    Small in line eatery that feels kind of like a hidden gem located in a strip mall in San Ramon. What you come here for is comfort food, a wonderfully curated craft beer, menu, friendly service, television to watch, sports or events, and just a jovial atmosphere overall. This place seriously feels like what you think an ideal hangout spot would be. Came here for an early dinner after a day shopping with family during the holidays when I was in town. We ordered a few things to share - stoopid fries, chili cheese fries, smash sausage burger - and some craft beers to wash it all down. I got a tasty triple IPA that was very good. I just wanna know that this is definitely not a spot that you would go to if you are dieting lol. For me personally there's actually also a nostalgia factor in this area because I actually worked at two other places within the same strip mall growing up in the area. So this spot also feels like home for me.

    Funny & kind workers there. I have cancer so I especially appreciated that! no judgement even though I had mask & my cane. Im Portuguese & when I saw this place online with linguiça n papo secos buns, I had to come try. Small great place, plenty of parking. Food was excellent! Flavorful, moist , fresh. I should have gotten extra bread, one is never enough for Portuguese! lol Muito Obrigado Deus abençoe

    Small little restaurant with a bar and some sports on tv, they sell hotdogs and alcohol. Service was good and prompt, and very attentive. The food was good I was craving a chili dog. However I do more enjoy being able to pick up my hot dogs to eat them. Be ready to eat with a fork and a knife, or use lots of napkins cause they don't skimp out over here.

    Beer Flight
    J Christian E.

    Super friendly staff! My favorite was the pretzel bites and corn dogs! I also got myself a chili cheese dog and beer flight. The pretzel bite and corn dogs had a clean taste to it, not greasy at all! The chili cheese dog for me was okay but honestly wouldn't mind eating it again. I prefer a bit more firmer hot dog. This one is a traditional American hot dog that feels more like baloney/bologna (if you're proper ahah). They do use the same hot dog for the corn dogs but to me that works as the sweet cornbread makes it work-- it's also a classic. The beer was also good, there were a lot of options so i got their 4 recommendations.

    Chicago Dog and regular fries
    Kari C.

    We picked up a takeout order from DareDevil dogs. Everything was well packaged and high in quality. Service was really good and friendly. DH said the vibe they were going for is "the Cheers of San Ramon". People were just hanging out and watching sports on TV. DH said everything was explained well and he liked getting a container of housemade relish. Best items were the mini corn dogs and fries. The corn dog batter tasted just as expected...such nostalgia! Fries were hearty, like the ones you'd normally see with fish 'n' chips. Portion sizes were generous. DH really wanted to try this place because of the Chicago Dog. Well, he enjoyed it, but wished the bun was softer. It didn't seem to be what he expected. I'm not a fan of the Chicago Dog flavor combo, but that's me, not them! :) I got the Polish Smashburger. It was very flavorful, cheesy, and salty with a tiny touch of spicy aftertaste. Bun was very robust, like an artisanal roll. Ingredients were fresh. It's great if you like your burgers full of stuff. I actually prefer mine more plain, so it wasn't the best fit. Well, I'm still glad I tried it! I believe it would've been much better paired with a good beer. Little one got the Classic Hot Dog and he really loved it. He couldn't finish the whole thing, so we saved it. He asked for it again the next meal! He said, "it was so great! Two thumbs up!" Overall, a great place to try. High quality good, great service, and unique offerings.

    Chili fries, bacon cheese fries, Stoopid fries, Las Papas fries
    Madonna M.

    They had good ratings so we decided to give it a shot. We went in pretty close to them opening. Good selection of beer. Friendly staff. The food was good. We all got different types of French fries. The chili cheese fries were cold, that was a little disappointing. The chili was almost like sloppy joe mix. If it was hot, it would've been excellent. Bacon cheese fries were very rich. I don't recall the other fries we got, but the hubby and son said they were mid. Maybe we should've tried the hot dogs. Next time!

    STOOOOPID fries! So freakin' good it's stoopid!
    Claire M.

    Finally got to try this spot! It was definitely worth the drive from the South Bay. DareDevil Dogs is a nice quaint spot. You can tell it's good because there were tons of locals. The ambience is energetically loud, but not overwhelming at all. There are a few tables and seats at the bar as well as along the front windows. For the food, I literally wanted to try EVERYTHING, but I used self restraint and just ordered more than enough. My wife and I ordered... 1) inferno bites - their version of lumpia. Good flavor and a little hint of heat. Nice crunch! 2) Stooopid fries - the name pretty much sums up the fries: crazy, mad, and stooopid food! Great balance and plenty of toppings. 3) Texas Joe - a play on a sloppy Joe. I must say, it's the best sloppy Joe I've ever had! Their chili has a good kick of heat, so beware. 4) Smash burger with spicy policy - one of our faves! So damn juicy and tasty! We couldn't stop by without having a few drinks. I settled for the beer flight. I really enjoyed the Mango-Strawberry seltzer as well! Beer was ice cold! For service, welp, the manager (Rob) is amazing. He was attentive and knowledgeable on his craft! Thanks Rob! We'll definitely be back!

    Corn Dog Bites with honey mustard

    Really fun spot for loaded hot dogs, fries, and other tasty treats. As we made our choices for our food orders, our server gave us a lot of tips and recommendations. They have TVs behind the bar, so this might be a fun place to catch a game. Our server also highly recommended a Filipino fusion dessert that we'll have to try on our next visit. Daredevil dogs is right next door to Pho Sam (another of my favorite go-to spots in San Ramon)

    Sausage Smash Burger
    Jessica D.

    My boyfriend wanted to try this local spot with gourmet hot dogs, loaded fries, and sausage smash burgers on a Sunday afternoon. Im a burger girl, so I had the linguica smash burger, he had the jalapeño polish smash burger, and we shared the Sunday special loaded fries with gravy and scrambled eggs. The linguica "sandwich" I'll call it...was bland, had a dry bun, and was so slippery that everything kept falling out. The jalapeño polish one was even more bland- my boyfriend actually liked the linguica more. As for the fries- I didn't care much for the toppings but the fries themselves? Fire. I could finish an entire basket of their plain fries. Two small things- there's no water on top, you have to buy bottled water- and there's no ketchup bottles either, just ketchup packets...at a hot dog/burger shop? Service was friendly but overall- I left most of the food uneaten and wouldn't go back.

    Does the beef franks have pork casing, and is there pork in the chili?

    The hot dogs are all beef. No pork. The chili does have ground pork sausage in it (and its quite good).

    Where r you located? Cannot find you. Are you next to another place?

    It's in a strip mall across from the Safeway on Crow Canyon/San Ramon Valley Blvd. it's a few doors down from Katy's Corner and near Fresh Millions.

We started with the Crispy Cauliflower, coated with tempura batter and served with lemon aioli; Roasted Brussels Sprouts, topped with chili flakes & Parmesan and served in a cast iron skillet; and the Hummus, topped with Pepitas and served with thin, crispy parm'd pizza bread. The Chopped Kale Salad came with apple, radish, carrot, cotija, and Pepitas, all tossed in a tangy pomegranate vinaigrette; and the Chickpea Salad also had a base of kale topped with chickpeas, roasted sweet potato/carrot, and charred halloumi, and dressed with herbed pesto. The highlight of the menu was their creative pizzas, which you could order either on a thin, crispy Neapolitan crust, or on a thick, soft, square-shaped Detroit-style base with crispy baked cheese edges. The Fun Guy came with porcini cream, mushroom, onion, goat cheese, and pecorino; and the Hail Mary came with beer braised chicken, caramelized onion, cotija, garlic, and Calabrian chili oil, which gave the pizza a flavorful spicy kick.

My only major reservation is how the karaoke queue is managed. Couldn't help but notice the bartenders and some patrons who generously tipped got to sing multiple times in a row. One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours.
