    Elote Dog
    Kay Y.

    Great elote dog and asada fries! My lovely co worker took me here and we came at the perfect time. It started to get so packed right after our food came. Chill ambiance and delish food. Friendly and nice staff too.

    Elote Dog and OG Dog

    Super impressed with the quality and taste of these hotdogs! These are what all hotdogs should be, great size, full of toppings, and delicious sausage and bun! If I lived near by, this would be my go to hotdog spot; those close by it are really lucky! Highly recommend! The interior has a cool aesthetic and vibe! The staff was so welcoming and helpful!

    Good food and friendly staff. Loved the LA themed decor! Parking is tough which is a huge disappointment but I would deff go back again for the food!

    After trying Dirt Dog for the first time, I know see why this joint is such a popular choice among both USC students and locals alike! The Patty Melt Dog was simply to die for, as the warm cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and loaded fries all came together and simply melted in my mouth for an incredible mix of American goodness! The Mutt Dog was slightly less impressive, but still good nonetheless, incorporating the flavors of both the Green Dog and the Red Dog to deliver flavors that are both sour and savory. Finally, the Filthy Fries were a real treat. The fries were thick, crisp, and juicy, and the added guacamole, cheddar, Chipotle Aioli, and sour cream were an excellent touch to make them unlike any other fries I've ever had! A nice, hole-in-the-wall type joint, Dirt Dog is a great place to swing by for a quick and filling bite!

    We ran across this place in IG and my son absolutely wanted to go. So we went. The service was mediocre idk if that's a cali vibe or what. But they weren't inviting or friendly just kind of like "hey what do want". The area looked a little sketchy But my car was still there when I came out. Parking was terrible. The decor in the restaurant was cool. Food was good. We went for my son and he loved everything!

    We enjoyed it a lot, very filling though. We wanted a bit of different ones to get a taste. I enjoyed the dirty chili dog the most. The elote was good too. The place was packed, pretty small inside for all the people who come by. Love the art though on the wall. I think only negative is how much you might burp after.. but otherwise it was pretty good.

    So the first thing you notice at dirt dogs is the vibez you walk in and music is playing and the seating is very comfortable. The service is really good though sometimes you run into a decent line you still order pretty fast and the food doesn't take to long to come out. The Elote Dog is my personal go to. Its like the Mexican corn but on  hotdogs and its really good. The bun was nice and toasted and the toppings on it has a great balance in flavor savory spice and sweet. The House dog is just the classic take on a hotdog but what makes it different and stand out is the house sauce and its really good and it comes on the pretzel bun that is also toasted.  The bacon was  also cooked to near perfection. Overall always a solid experience. 3.5 Stars  .5

    Filthy Fries

    Found out about this chain while at a Kings game months ago. So when we were planning on going to another game, we decided to go to the first one ever opened. This place offered more choices than the one located at Crypto Arena. We ordered the s Filthy Fries as an appetizer, and it was Da Bomb! The fries were so crispy and tender on the inside. I ordered the Elote Dog...my mouth is watering just this review! It had the perfect balance of corn and cotija on top the all beef hot dog in a lobster bun. Best decision ever. My husband ordered the House Dog and he sure enjoyed it! My kids got the Dirty Chili Dog and Mini Corn Dogs Meal. They absolutely did not complain! I loved that they were not skimpy on the toppings. Just look at the pictures!! We're going to try to make it a tradition to come here first before going to another Kings game. Love this place!

    I've had this place bookmarked for the longest time so I was glad to try it out. I saw it from all the ig photos of their elote and fries. Inside feels divey with all the black and stickers on the wall and corner booth seating. I got their elote and some carne asada tacos. I don't usually like a lot of cheese on my elote but it still tastes good. The bacon and cilantro add an extra depth. The tacos are pretty good but a little dry. Service is pretty fast and friendly and I would recommend coming here to see what the hype is about.

    Came here late night! For one, service was absolutely amazing!! Was our first time here, and we asked for recommendations. The cashier working late night was nothing but amazing! She gave all her favorite menu options, and we loved all of them. Additionally, she offered a USC student discount! Will be back because of this one cashier. Hard worker & deserves so much more! Very hospitable. This place has a unique ambiance, with tags and cash all over the walls. It's a theme I have yet to see an establishment take on, and it's honestly quite the vibe!

    Yummm and pretty filling!! Love the interior of the restaurant and how chill it is! Would recommend their Elote Dog and DUI fries!

    I have had this spot bookmarked for a long time. We finally decided to come out and as soon as you walk in... this place plays the jams! They have good music! This would be a regular lunch spot if I lived in the area, but for now we will return another time. They don't have a wide variety of options like Pink's, but they had a good enough variety. I ended up getting the elote dog and it was good, but I the hotdog was supposed to be bacon wrapped and to me it was lacking the bacon taste and texture. I'm not sure if it's just because there's a lot of toppings going on. The hotdog was good, but I think I'd like to try something else next time. Staff was okay. They weren't super friendly, just ordered, ate and left. Order took some time to come out, but everything was cooked fresh because we sat right by the front where we could see them cooking the hotdogs. Our fries were given to us way before our hotdogs were done and normally restaurants usually serve everything together. Decoration was unique and I loved it. It was nice and clean inside. Parking is a little crazy and I did see a sign that you should park out in the back because the neighbors don't like their customers parking in their spot. It didn't seem that busy when we got there, but then the place started filling up fast so it is a popular place. If you like hotdogs then you should definitely check this place out. I wanna come back and try something else next time.

    I love coming to LA and trying a good street dog. They don't make them like that where I'm from. Unless we'll you make them at home. With no line and cutting close to the closing hour. We ordered some of their signature hotdogs. I ordered the chili dog that was delicious. My favorite part though was the brioche bun. It was fluffy yet crispy. Our fries didn't arrive till after our meal. We even tried the yummy fried Oreos before our fries arrived max Overall, a cool spot for a street dog. I would try it again!

    Is the bacon used beef bacon?

    Hello Omar. The bacon we use is pork. It may be omitted upon request.

    Do they have a veggie/vegan dog Available?

    Yes they do! you can substitute the veggie dog for any dog on the menu

    What would it take to bring one to the east coast?

    Would blow up any where tbh. Dogs are creatively amazing

    Can I order ahead of time for pickup?

    Hello Jen, Yes, you may. You may order ahead by calling, or pick up option on DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates, and UberEats

    What's the range of price for a hot dog?

    Fair price depending on the hot dog id like to say that you won't spend more than $10 per dog theyre like 6 or 7 bucks.

    Are the buns homemade? Can I purchase a pack of untoasted buns?

    Our buns are made fresh daily and delivered from a local bakery. They are not for sale separately sorry. The style you may be looking for are Lobster Roll. Hope that helps =)

    Do they have turkey or chicken hot dogs?

    No all they sell is beef hotdogs. they do have a soy based vegan substitute instead of the typical beef hotdog though. I tried it. It was cool

    Do they have a happy hour/specials?

    No, sorry Justin.

    If coming on a Friday say around 2p.m. what is the wait time?

    I think you may be able to just walk up to the counter and order. I only experience a super long wait time on weekends and late night Thursday-Saturday

    Horrible if you park in the front lot on Figueroa, use the back parking lot enter on Adams.

    No they don't I asked

    They taste fresh. Excuse they are made fresh definitely worth it

    Yes. I don't eat pork so that was my first question

    Can I bring my dog?

    No ... dogs allowed

    Can I bring it dog inside of here?

    Registered assistance animals only

    Is there just a plain hot dog option?

    I'm sure you can get it plain but then you might as well go to the grocery store and buy buns and got dogs so you don't waste your money.

    What is the regular wait time ? I know some days and times must be busier than other also but what is the average wait time?

    Hi Eliana, On weekdays the wait time is very minimal if any. On the weekends, it can be up to half…

I don't otherwise go to sports bars, and Biergarten isn't exactly a sports bar anyway, but it's an extremely happy place for an L.A. World Cup Korea Mexico hugfest experience. I'm a fan of Biergarten in general, too. It's a great place to drink, easy if you're not trying to catch a literal World Cup game, with friendly service and a comfortable, unpretentious K-Town gatsropub atmosphere. The place has been around for a long time, now, as have I, and I appreciate having it in the neighborhood. Food is solid, I just had some of the chicken wings and kalbi poutine as I watched Korea's inglorious defeat and Mexico's rousing victory, and there's plenty of beer and soju on the menu. I think I had my first Delirium Tremens here many years ago, and I spent the other night drinking soju and the house Biergarten lager, a nice, refreshing beer you can order by the pitcher. I always have fun at Biergarten and look forward to my next visit, even if it is in another four years.
