their hotdogs are just sensational. Although they do take a little longer to come out than how long you'd think making a hotdog takes. I suppose that just means everything is made fresh then! I think the prices are on the higher end for a hot dog but very reasonable considering how good they taste. My favorite is the chipotle one! Their drinks, particularly their milkshakes, are also super rich and flavorful. read more

Worst service ever!!!! Yelled at by staff for almost touching a receipt on a bag to check if it was my order because the receipt/number was facing in the opposite direction. It was inappropriate and unnecessary. Also, the coney dog had the worst tasting chili ever. Would not go back. read more

We had heard good reviews for this place and those were true! We tried their Vegetarian/Vegan hot dog Kyoto Heat style with a lot of crispy fried onion and Jalapenos. Loved the bite. Generous portion and very tasty. The person at the counter was indifferent and when I asked for what customization can be done, she just pointed at the kiosk screen. I get her, but also someone else might not :) read more

The house fries were pretty good and came out hot! The hot dog came out hot as well but it was a bit too salty for my liking. The salted caramel milkshake was really delicious and was the perfect thickness! The service here is more order on your own since they have a self service kiosks but I did ask a question and they took time to respond to me. read more

**Review only for the Garlic Noodles** I saw they were running a BOGO Free on Door Dash for the garlic parmesan noodles (comes w/ a sausage of your choice). Portions were HUGE and filling. Lots of garlicky goodness. Next time will try the hot dogs! read more

Bulgogi dog: 3.5/5: the hit dog was warm. The bulgogi was cold. Very little kimchi. Added $6 for the fries and lemonade combo 3.5/5: fries were crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Lemonade no surprises. They had a couple of kiosks order. Easy peasy. read more

I am from Chicago, so of course, the fact that this place offers a Chicago hotdog caught my eye on Facebook. A friend of mine from the Bronx accompanied me on a Friday when they run a special of free fries when you order either a Chicago hotdog or Coney Island dog. You have to use a touchpad to place your order. This took me a little while to figure out and it defeated my friend who went to the Asian food place next to it instead. I didn't find the touchpad too difficult, but it does take a little looking around and since I did not want celery salt, or relish on my Chicago dog, I had to type out those instructions in a comment. I would suggest they consider restructuring the way you make selections so that you can either click "everything on it" or start building your own. That's how they do it at that Banh Mi sandwich place over by SJSU. Took a little bit of time for my order to be ready, but not too long. A true Chicago hotdog is made with a David Berg Vienna all beef hotdog that has been cooked in a water bath. Not here. Instead it appears they make their own all beef hotdog which is a little longer than the one from Vienna products, and rather than being cooked in a water bath, it appears they use the New York roller style, which causes the hotdog to shrink a little. It's a different taste from what you get in Chicago but it's good. The truly important thing to me is they do use real sport peppers here. Not fresh sliced jalapeños as I've seen in some pictures, nor the pepperoncini that some people have tried to pass off as sport peppers. The french fries are pretty good. I suggest they consider having a ketchup dispenser if the mall will allow those. The dining area is pleasant, and there is an outdoor area where you can sit as well and view the East Bay Hills. Now that I know this place is here, when I walk here for lunch with my friend, it will be on my list read more

I love hot dogs and these are very loaded. Definitely a bit much but it hits so hard. The prices are okay although a lot for a hot dog. I guess the toppings kinda make up for it. There's a lot of seating in the mall and it took a bit longer than the other restaurants in the food court but not much longer. read more

Tried 2 hot dogs here, the NY style and the corn dog. It's a bit on the salty side. The NY one was ok because it had the sauces, sauerkraut, and onions to balance out the salt, but the corn dog was too salty for me. The batter for the corn dog was also on the lighter side, and if there had been more, that could've balanced out the saltier hotdog. The size of the hot dog is pretty large though, so it's reasonably filling. read more

I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS STORE AGAIN. I have had a horrible experience with this store. I placed an order on Wednesday, December 3rd for the following items : Order : 1x F&F Meal #1: 2 Dogs Combo LA Dirty, New Yorker, Large Seasoned Fries, Chicken Frank Sausage Bites, Chicken Italian Sausage Bites $40.58 Payment Google Pay 12/03/25, 2:07 PM My order arrived, bag stapled shut mind you, with a DEAD RAT IN MY FRIES. Since that day I have attempted to contact the restaurant to explain my grievance. Wednesday and Thursday I never got a response from calling the number. It was not until Friday that a supervisor was able to answer my call. During the call they took my information and forwarded it to a manager. I just got off the phone with said supervisor, who told me that his manager asked him to ignore/not follow up on my complaint. The supervisor I spoke to was very friendly and helpful, but it is clear that the management wants to sweep this under the rug. This is incredibly unprofessional, rude, and unsanitary. I will proceed to post pictures of this rat all over social media until I get a satisfactory response. read more

I would drive by this business on Berryessa across from a CVS I go to. I finally stopped in and treated myself to a Chicago dog, to go. The price was reasonable, the hot dog was very good. I'll stop by again. Their soda machine was stocked with a brand I was unfamiliar with. Maybe next time. read more

Gave them another try with another type of dog and being a New Yorker they didn't disappoint. I'm not going tell u it taste like a boil dogged or Jared onions you'd get from a street cart in the city. It's def more like a spruced up dog you'd get at a restaurant than on the corner . The onions in the sauce an A plus. So now I have two go toos. read more

I usually like this spot but the last time I was here I ordered it to go on my way out of the mall. I was missing an entire hot dog when I got home. I tried to call multiple times with no response. The number for this location is just for Valley Fair and I was never connected to the right person to request a refund for my missing hot dog. They are generally pretty slow to get your order to you. It's typical to wait 10 - 15 minutes for a hot dog. The hot dog flavors are pretty good. I'm not sure it's worth the wait and the fact that they can't get my order correct or rectify it is what makes me hesitate coming back. read more

We needed a quick bite before a housewarming party so we decided to go with a sonora dog and fried mozzarella on a stick. The sonora dog was good, although the beef frank didn't have much flavor to it. The jalapenos and their house spicy sauce is what saved the hot dog overall. The bun could've used a toast or warmed up because a cold bun ain't it. The mozzarella stick was light on the cheese, and I think they put sugar on it because it was kinda sweet. As someone who likes savory, slightly disappointed. If you go this route, definitely order at least two mozz sticks. It was on a Saturday, so they were pretty busy. But I watched as my food sat on the line for a good few minutes before I could flag someone down. Maybe if it was hot n fresh, it would've tasted a bit better. The ordering process was simple-ish on the kiosk. The sonora dog and fried mozzarella on a stick was like $16, and don't know if I'd order again but if you are craving this type of food, it does what it needs to do. read more

It is in the food court at Valley Fair, which made me reminisce about Hot Dog on a Stick. So, I ordered the corn dog kids meal and garlic fries. The fries were super dry. The corn dog was mushy. They don't have trays or proper napkins so you need to either go back and forth to a nearby table at the mall or try to balance everything. The woman who manages it all is friendly and let me come back to get the ice cream, so that was nice. So really 2 stars for the food. 5 stars for the service, which is really 3, but it is the mall and for food court food it's pretty ok. Try it if you're at the mall, but don't make a special trip just for it. read more

I really enjoy trying new items off of the Frank & Furter menu because they have a lot to choose from. My favorite so far is the hot dog with bulgogi and my husband likes the Kyoto dog. The food court at valley fair is nice and this restaurant has a prime location near a grouping of seats. The downside to this location is that the service is really slow because of this they're are always people standing around waiting. The staff is nice but doesn't always seem to understand what you are asking for. While I will continue to go when at valley fair, I'm more likely to go to the Oakridge location if I'm just looking for food. read more

For the premium prices they charge, I expected near perfection. At 9 bucks each that was sadly not the case. Let's start with the main attraction: the sausage. I ordered a classic Chicago and a Coney. Both featured jumbo all-beef franks with a coarser grind, closer to a bratwurst than the smooth texture of a wiener. Crucially, they lacked much flavor. The toppings on the Coney were all out of proportion (see my photo). If it isn't overflowing with chili then what's the point? The mustard should have been an accent rather than the dominant flavor. And the onions were a bit skimpy to my taste. The Chicago had the same problem with the toppings ratio. I count on my favorite, the bright green piccalilli relish, to pack a sweet-and-sour punch. I was let down again. Both buns were warm but could have been toastier or, even better, steamed. I hated to say this because I'm an ardent supporter of local businesses, but this is a failed concept that doesn't deliver the gourmet hot dog experience. Originally called Umai Savory Hot Dogs, I think the extensive menu choices could be the trouble. If they focused solely on dogs rather than the additional choices of hamburgers and fried chicken sandwiches (their previous menu also offered noodles), they might be able to hit it out of the park read more

My mom has always loved a good hot dog, so when I discovered Frank & Furter's on Capital Ave in San Jose, I thought it would be a nice treat for her. My mom wanted the Chicago dog. These hot dogs are very big - much bigger than most hot dogs. Since she's in her 90's and doesn't have a big appetite, she cut it in half so she could have half for lunch and half for dinner. She absolutely raved about her Chicago dog, and before I knew it, she had eaten both halves. She continued talking about how good it was for several days. I ordered a hog dog with sauerkraut and caramelized onions. OMG! It was so good!! The caramelization of the onions gave the sauerkraut a sweet taste. I can't remember when I enjoyed a hot dog so much. In addition to hot dogs, they have sausages, hamburgers, and I was surprised to see several vegetarian options on the menu. While some of the Frank & Furter's are in malls, the one on Capital Ave is in a small strip mall, with plenty of parking right outside their door. Kind of a typical "fast food" setup when I walked in the door, with basic tables and chairs and a walkup counter to order. Very clean inside. The service was pretty quick, so it was easy to walk in, order, and walk out with my food. I'll definitely return! read more

My first time here, there's a lot of options on the menu. I got the bulgogi hot dog and fries. 10/10. The least I could say was that it was good but it's also worth it! Nice lady behind the counter made my night. thank you Mom read more

Tried the NY dog and Spicy Garlic Noodles with Italian Sausage. Beef frank was decent at best, bun to dog ratio is off. Garlic noodle flavor definitely not it, could be seasoned better (looked like spaghetti noodles). Italian sausage could have been chopped/sliced smaller (really? Look at picture). Not bite size pieces that you can get a decent bite of sausage and noodles. Comes across as lazy. Would not try other stuff based on this. read more

Some might consider it pricey, but otherwise the dogs here are pretty darn good. I had the truffle dog a few weeks back. The truffle flavor was subtle and there weren't any toppings or sauce that help cut through the saltiness of the dog (for example, mustard). I would recommend that you pass on this one. However the Chicago dog I tried more recently was great. They didn't go overboard with the toppings. I crushed the whole thing in a couple of minutes (plus being in the mall is just awful and I wanted to get out). read more
