This place is pure nostalgia. It's been a long minute since I had a corndog here. I was at the mall recently and decided to get lunch at the food court. Hot Dog on a Stick instantly caught my eye after all these years. The classic made-to-order corndogs and the hand-stomped lemonade are hard to resist. I ordered the 2-for-$7.99 corndog deal and a cherry lemonade. I picked one beef and one original turkey corndog. The first bite brought back memories. The cornmeal coating was fried perfectly and hot with a slight crisp. My favorite was the beef corndog, but the turkey is enjoyable as well. The lemonade has a variety to choose from. The cherry lemonade was refreshing and sweet. I noticed the seasonal, limited-time flavor was Dragonfruit, which I hope to try soon. The staff was kind and provided quick service. It wasn't too busy during lunch, so my order was ready within five minutes. The food court dining area is clean and spacious, with plenty of tables and seating. Other nice features for this business: - Party Packs and Catering - Online ordering through the website - On-site fundraising opportunities read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - Corn dog - Fast Food Near Me - Cerritos, California

oh HELLLLLL NAHHHHHH‼‼‼ I mean, we started with my average order, where when I went to go pick up my food, I was greeted by the cashier with a side eye. Did my 3rd leg scare you?? I get the food, sit down and eat, and wow. The first corn dog I finish, I bite down, AND PAPER SURPRISE!! I didn't know this was Hot Dog on a Child-Labor-Made stick. I then sip my drink to get rid of the condom wipe aftertaste, and the I notice something off. THE STRAW AINT EVEN IN ONE PIECE. Did the cashier pull a fast one and shove it up there? To top it all off, I eat my last corn dog, and my favorite...MOLLLDDDD. I'm convinced gooning was involved while crafting this appalling meal read more

I couldn't tell you the last time I had Hot Dog on a stick, but we ended up meeting my cousin and friends at the mall and of course we ended up in the food court. Since it had been such a long time I decided to have Hot Dog on a stick and even better because they offer a 2 for $7.99 deal, so I got a beef corn dog and a cheese on a stick. Service was great, fast and efficient. Next time I have a corn dog craving, I'm going back to Hot Dog on a Stick and maybe with a lemonade next time. read more

Sooo happy to see this here!! I love this place so much and I'm so sad in San Diego we don't have one anymore. They have the best lemonade!! I think we have one in Belmont park only but not sure if it's still there. Anyways I mainly only get the cheese on a stick. Typically pepper jack! This visit I got the cheddar which was still good but I should've stuck with my pepper jack. Will be back whenever im back at this mall! Tons of other food options too. read more

I've never been a fan of a hot dog inside cornbread, but I'm not gonna knock Hot Dog on a Stick because of it. What they do, they do right and they still have a lot of devoted fans. I do like their Lemonade though. And I give them bonus points for the uniforms and friendly service. Another mall food court staple with proven staying power. read more

Just as good as I remembered in my childhood. Reasonably priced as well. I got the pepper jack cheese and beef corn dog and a large lemonade. I didn't even have to ask for light ice either. It was just right. I should have gotten extra crispy for the sticks but it was good regardless. Quick and easy read more

Two stars because the flavor of the lemonade is how I remembered it, and the lady let me taste the seasonal flavor. I didn't like that they charge extra for a different flavor option than the original flavor. They didn't even mention there would be an extra charge, and I didn't notice until I saw the receipt and looked up at the prices. It's been a while since I've been but I don't remember it being extra for getting the lime flavor. read more

They changed their rules and now when you bring your cup for the $3.25 they don't accept it. They make you buy a smaller cup for $5.25. Terrible decision, won't be coming back ever!! I will just go chick fil a for cheaper drinks and they refill for free. read more

Hot Dog on a Stick - $5.25 for this little lemonade? Pathetic - Fast Food Near Me - Cerritos, California

I love corn dogs, and Hot Dog on a stick is a classic for me. A simple corn dog or two and the cherry lemonade or regular is the best. Can't change a classic. read more

Being an 80s baby and knowing if we went to the mall, this was always a must get. Fast forward to the future, I'm glad they are still in business. I guess my taste buds have changed so I think I would ask for a slightly more well done order cause I like to have that crunch on the outside. Otherwise, everything brought back the nostalgia. I even ordered a lemonade and asked if they still hand stomp the lemons...which they do! Always get a corn dog and a cheese dog. read more

We don't have these anymore where I live so we drove an hour to get a fun treat (American cheese on a stick) for spring break. They were out of cheese. Offered no apologies and the man (appropriately named Richard) called me stupid for even coming. read more

What can be said about Hot Dog on a Stick, that hasn't already been said? A mall favorite for years, it remains a simple pleasure in an ever-more-complicated world. Two main items here - corn dogs and lemonade - but with a number of variations. Born along the original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica; the original location is currently closed for refurbishment. A fun stop when in that area but, until then, these mall locations more than suffice. A stop here can be a meal, or a tasty snack. Though the "original" is turkey, I prefer the beef corn dog. As balance, a lite lemonade. It's not chateaubriand but, rather, a fun throw-back to the hopes of eternal youth. It had been awhile since my last visit, but I can guarantee it won't be long until my next. read more

Lemonade is always good corndog was OK had it better here before , I think they just have to change the oil corn dog is a little bit too dark! It's not that golden brown . Definitely will come back soon for the lemonade ! read more

The workers were overall good. One of the girls was very considerate and exemplified great customer service when cashier got my drink wrong. I'm sorry I didn't catch her name. She wasn't the one cleaning the counters though. The fries were way over-salted (we had to shake/wipe off the excess but didn't work too well) and the lemonade contained a little stick/stem. It also seemed like it was all a group of younger kids (teens to early twenties) working at this location. It would have been ok but not sure if the over salted fries etc would have been prevented if management was around? It looked crowded back there too. Regardless I love seeing the younger generation working. I think they did well overall and improvements can always be made especially with good work ethics that I think they mostly had. (Maybe increase training for customer service though for the others) read more

Haven't been to one of these in years but had some time to kill while waiting for an iPhone repair in mall. For what it is and it's location being in a loud food court, I can't complain. Hot dog and cheese stick were tasty and went great with the lemonade. Simple options of mustard or ketchup are all you need to enjoy the dogs. Prices are a little high but that's everywhere really. Can see myself coming back if I was in the mall again read more

If i could give 0 stars i would. After i ordered my food i sat there and watched the guy making it wipe his nose with his bare hand gloveless then continued to spit in a napkin and wiped his nose multiple times. It was truly disgusting. Glove less bare hands it was so gross i left and didn't even take my food. read more

I have place two, large catering orders here in the past two months. Both have been for large classes at my sons' school. Monica and her team have gone above and beyond to be sure that my experience is smooth, my order is correct and that the kids have a fun meal! I placed my orders online, but Monica, the manager, personally called to ensure that my order was correct and offered to come in early to help prepare my order on time. When I picked up both orders, they have been easily packaged with all the extras -- ketchup, cups, straws and even fun hats for the kids! I will continue to use this fun restaurant for group meals and catering...it's a treat for all and a very streamlined customer experience! read more

I placed a huge order of corn dogs, and cheese on a stick and was left disappointed. I believe the order was just over $100. What I got for that was really greasy items on a stick. They stacked the items on top of each other in a bag with napkins separating each level. The napkins were all soaked in grease which was not very appetizing and because of the amount of grease and how they were stacked, it was a chore to peel the napkins off each item. Also, the cheese on a stick was about half the size of what it used to be. Mostly the batter, not much cheese. I have always been a big fan of Hot Dog on a Stick. This is one of the few locations a left. Unfortunately, the food isn't what it used to be. Two stars, mostly for the nostalgia. read more

There are five employees working and the production line is horrible! Seems with that amount is empty fryers it should be going much faster! Employees on phones touching hats without washing hands! It i did not want my hot dog on A stick so bad and not paid I would walk away! The cashier was very nice! read more

Waited to order just a green lemonade waited over 15mins. Didn't even order a drink. Worker there is so slow.

As you get older things get smaller. Back in the day a cheese on a stick was one of the best things ever. We had a craving so we gave in and drove out to Cerritos mall. Fast forward 20 years and it's like where's the stick? I aware there has been a size reduction because these things are teeny weanie. The only increase has been it's price. Now this 5 inch treat is super expensive. Don't get me wrong, ice cold lemonade and a cheese on a stick is super yummy. Just not very filling. Just buy two. I'm still a fan. I just wish they were bigger. read more

Be careful with their large drinks cups. It will accidentally open and spill all the contents on your pants. And you will walk around like you peed on yourself. So embarrassing read more

They ended up forgetting one of my corn dogs. I get it. It happens. Kasey was super professional and patient. I wasn't the nicest on the phone as I was hangry. However Kasey was graceful and treated me like a person. She went above and beyond. Give this person a raise! She deserves it. She is the reason why I will be back. She took Care of me. Thanks again Kasey, you are appreciated. read more

4 stars for the nostalgia! My sister came to visit and said she wanted to go for a walk smh and I offered only to go if we walked to the mAll. Growing up my cousins and I would spend mostly every Saturday together going to Cerritos mall to watch a movie go to the arcade take picture or watch my other cousins break dance lol! After walking Aroubd my sister and I wanted to check out the food court was surprised to see hot dog on a Stick and didn't even think twice and ordered 2 cheese sticks ! Omg sooo good lol still as good as i remembered it! Crispy soft light dough with a slight sweet perfect combo with the creamy salty melted cheese ! read more

I absolutely love hot dog on a stick, this is one of my favorite mall food stands. Unfortunately because most of them are located inside of the mall they are going away faster than I wish. The hotdog on a stick in Santa Ana mall closed up, a hotdog on a stick in Westminster mall closed up and there are no more hotdog on a stick's anywhere in orange county. Even the hotdog on a stick in Palm Springs is now gone. It's very sad but if hotdog on a stick as a company does not rewrite their business plan and come up with another option there will be no more hotdog on a stick left. I wish they were a franchise, if so I would buy one. They used to be one right down the street from where I live in Newport Beach and it's been gone for years. Like I said I wish they were franchise this business! read more

I love their cheese sticks!!! The cheese sticks are the best item on the menu - it is simple and the cheese is always melted perfectly. They have the original, turkey, and veggie hot dogs on a stick which are good, but nothing special about it. The cheese sticks are better option as it has many flavors: American, Pepper Jack, and Mozzarella. The American cheese is the best it is salty and the flavor is strong. The batter goes perfectly with their flavors and they are always fluffy and soft. All the items are made to order which is great as they come out piping hot and you know they are freshly made. Every time I visit they always make it right when I order and I have never gotten food that has been sitting under a heat lamp. As for the drinks the fresh squeezed lemonade are still the best. These can be a bit sour and I suggest ordering the strawberry lemonade where it is half sweet and half sour. The wait times can be long on weekends as all items takes a little longer to cook. Expect the wait times to be around 10 plus minutes at lunch hours and they call your order by number, not by name. read more

Who doesn't love Hot Dog on a Stick? They have some good eats and cheap family deals as well. The only downside of this location are the employees. When I went on a Sunday afternoon, the three workers there were chatting and making the corndogs really slowly as people (including myself) were anxiously waiting for their food. They said it'll be 3-5 minutes. It was more like 15-20 minutes. Ridiculous. read more

Came here today on 6/24/22 and hour before they closed and they rams out of lemonade.. How you run out the main thing people come here for?

Really good food and super fast service. This woman is a one person show! Definitely hit the spot!
