    Definitely a great spot if you like fried rice, pork buns, pot stickers, and my favorite HOT DOGS! I grew up on Joseph's fried rice and hot dogs. There are usually two women working there who I believe are the owners. They are the sweetest and always provide great food and service. Even after I relocated for years and returned, they still remembered me. I would walk to this spot several times weekly as a kid and get a hot dog and nothing has changed since. My go to order is hotdog with ketchup and mayo only and fried rice with no shrimp. But I also love the pot stickers, pork buns, and chow mein. It's definitely a mom & pops shop that's worth contributing to. Customer service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Price: affordable

    Let's be honest this is like a hole in the wall business but their food is really good and the prices are reasonable. Along with a great customer service. My fried rice was down in less than 10 mins. This place deserve their stars!

    HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN HERE?!? My high school drama teacher raves and raves about this place. He would always say, "Back when I lived in Antioch, I would always stop by this one spot in Pittsburg. It was my favorite. My favorite hot dogs." Now I'm nearly always down this area because I pick up the mail here. It's easy to get to. It's down Port Chicago. It's located in this lone building on the corner. There's a sign that says it's name, and high above it there's always a message about Jesus, Mary, and what-not. I honestly thought this place was closed, and the city didn't bother tearing it down for nostalgia or something like. But I check on Yelp, and I was proven wrong. Turns out. It is still open. Turns out it is still pretty popular to the locals and not only do they sell hot dogs, but they got Chinese food too! Last night, I had to fend for myself in food. It was around 7pm and I remembered! Josephs Hot Dogs. It's open. It's famous. It's recommended. Let's try it out. The problem is that on Yelp, the time it opens and closes isn't post. So I had no clue if I would even get the chance to try this new thing. So with my handy dandy cell phone, I called them. WHEW they were open, but they were going to stop taking orders at 7:45pm. I didn't know the menu, but the lady named each and every item for me. I decided to order a chili cheese dog with everything on it. I wasn't sure what everything was, but I was too excited to ask. Got there and admired the small building. Such an odd spot in the corner to be around. I entered and saw two ladies. They greeted me and one asked if I was the person on the phone. She gave me a menu to look at where I saw the prices. They have an absurd amount of hot dogs, and they have pot stickers and rice and won ton too! The chili cheese dog and a can of Coca-Cola cost me $6.43. I should have told them no relish and no tomatoes. I had to take them out myself. Now the hot dog is pretty good. I wouldn't call it the best hot dog I ever gotten. But it was juicy. The chili was tasty. The cheese is on the body which made it taste - different. I think I need to go again and try something else. I wish the price was a little cheaper. The hype was too strong with this one.

    1/2 order fried rice , pork bun, and polish dog

    I have been going to this place for over 20 years since I grew up in the neighborhood and Joseph used to go to the same church as my parents . They are great people and make great food. The house rice is the best thing on their menu. I didn't really care for the pork bun and I think sourkraut belongs on a polish dog. Those are the only reason I gave them 4 out 5 star. The won ton soup is also amazing. Definitely a home town favorite!

    I'm not going to complain for cheap and greasy. But what this place offers are choices. I couldn't decide whether I wanted a hot dog, chili, or Chinese food. None disappointed. The hot dog almost tasted and looked like a caspers dog. However, most people, I noticed, ordered the fried rice. The fried rice was good though, but how can anyone go wrong there. The worker or owner seemed friendly and seemed to have many regulars. I knocked-off two stars due to the location. I did not feel as though it were the safest part of town, and the place itself needs to be bulldozed and bulldozed over. It was not very inviting at all. I only went because I just HAD to see what kind of journey this place would take my taste buds. I'm not sure I would take a food adventure out there but would def stop by if I'm in the area.

    Skimpy Polish dog, fish flavored fries & a can soda for $8.00.

    Chinese food and Hot Dogs??? I thought this would be a great new hole to try out but guess I was missing something or came on a wrong day compared to the 4 stars this place was rated at. My order sucked you guys, fries and a polish hotdog. My fries were obviously fried in the same oil used to cook their shrimp and other food in because you can taste it! My polish dog was skimpy and tasteless with HUGE slices of onions. I won't be coming back ever. You'll get a better hotdog from a gas station rather from this place.

    I came here as a last minute option and was greeted by two women ready to take my order. I ordered the chicken chow mien, chicken fried rice and lemon chicken. The place is a small square dumpy building. I sat and waited a good 10 minutes and could smell my food being cooked. Once home, the Food was still piping hot and tasted fresh. The chow mien is typical chow mien noodles with a light sauce and fresh vegetables. The fried rice was nice and salty and flavorful and the lemon chicken was crispy and tasty even without the sauce it comes with. I will agree the place is a dump, tables are Dirty, buckets all over, but the food overall wasn't too bad, mediocre at best. The portions are ample and enough to make you full but not the best food I've ever had.

    Bbq pork and shrimp fried rice.

    Some of the best hood food I've had in a long time. Small spot,but food popping especially if you're 420 friendly. Wasn't greasy or heavy I had a polish dog plain with onion, relish, and tomatoes (tomatoes were a little mushy,but hey‍its a pandemic and I get it) I ate it so fast didn't get a picture. I also had the BBQ and shrimp fried rice which was delicious Can't believe I've been living by this hidden gem for 10 years. Now I'm officially a local.

    Joe's Hot Dogs....and Chinese Food? Ah, ya. I try places like this when I'm short on time or there's nothing else close enough. While I sometimes get lucky, this time was not so good. I will say it was a not bad hot dog. I made them like that as a kid. Basic dog, basic bun. A a slice of processed cheese food and too much onion and now you''re eating at Joe's too. What set's it apart from our homes is hot plates and plug-in cookers and tin foil lined counter areas in the back. I can only think of cooking chinese food in a laundry room to give the feeling without actually going there. Toss in a used swamp cooler in the guest eating area, a 13" TV, a parking lot view, and your Joe's Hot Dogs experience is complete! This was one of the weirdest little places I've stumbled across in a while. I really have no desire to go back.

    HOT DIGGITY DOG!

    This place is like a Casper's on steroids, they have the great Casper dogs and buns, but the…read moretopping choices are off the charts like bacon wrapped, Nashville hot sauce. pepperoncini, etc. I ordered: Chili Cheese Dog (3.5 Stars) They make it knife and fork style, meaning there's so much chili on top, you can't pick it up with your hands. The chili is more that a condiment, it a major part of the dish. The chili was not spicy, a combination of meat and beans, nothing special, it could be from a can, if it was home made I would be surprised. The Cheese was a mild blend of cheddar and white cheese, from a bag, not fresh grated. The onions were fresh chopped. The bun and dog were Casper's. Bacon Wrapped Dog with mustard, onion and tomato (4 stars). The bun was fresh, but not steamed like Casper's. The Bacon was slightly crispy and a decent quality. I love that they have bacon wrapped so good. The rest was all good quality, chopped onions and tomatoes. Until next time...
