    Dropped in for an appetizer to share before shopping. These dirty fries did not disappoint! The homemade Nicky sauce along with a smash burger patty, grilled onions, and pickles are the perfect combination making these fries a hit!

    Triple BLT, Dirty Fries
    Tony C.

    The food was out quick, very fresh and everything was in generous proportion (plenty of bacon on the burger)! I had the triple BLT and their rendition of 'animal' fries... (WARNING: the fries are large enough to be shared, I couldn't finish them!) this is def my go to spot when I come out here moving forward...hopefully they stick around!

    BLT burger without the LT
    Wendy M.

    Burgers were super yummy! They are a "smashed" burger, not a typical patty. Crinkle cut fries were extra hot and crispy and portion size was great. I got the BLT without the LT. Sauce on it was delicious and made the burger. Menu is very simple. See photos.

    Dirty fries

    Soooo gross! I got a Wild West burger and a dirty fries. I expected the fries to have a chopped up burger on top but it was a solid burger patty. Ok weird but whatever. Then the patty wasn't done like a normal smashed burger. One side gets the grill the other looks unseasoned and almost boiled meat look. Really weird. I rolled the patty to the side and ate the fries. Regular fries with pickles, sauce and grilled chopped onions. The plate was super salty. At this point I was disappointed but didn't want to waste food so I just picked at it and it seemed to get saltier and saltier. Everything was super salty- the pickles, the fries even the sauce. Then when I could see the bottom of the container I saw a pile of salt like someone poured salt over the whole thing. Super gross. Stopped eating the fries to try the burger. I took pics to post on their google page and they don't even have one which is super weird. Ok now the burger....The burger bun wasn't toasted or anything so the top one did that thing where it smashes into the grease and the bottom one got soggy from condensation in the container. Gross but whatever. The bacon wasn't crispy it was very fatty and again the half grilled smash burger patty with a boiled top again. The onion rings in the burger were decent so I'll give them that. I didn't finish the burger and I'm a person who can literally live off burgers. I think I've had in n out 3-4 times with week already and it's only Wednesday. It's hard to screw up a burger... The cashier was nice so I guess that justifies the one star I'm obligated to give but I'd really give it zero stars and hate that we wasted money on this. I wouldn't normally go this in depth but since I'm already reviewing the restaurant itself was also super dirty. It was kinda gross standing inside and looking around. The door itself and entryway is literally covered in grime. We really wanted to try it so I tried to ignore how gross and trick myself that the kitchen was clean. We waited outside and ate outside to not have to see anything. All in all really bad experience and we definitely won't be going there again. Right before eating there we were saying what a shame it is that malls are closing early and going out of business and how many empty stores there were at the mall but then we were instantly reminded why we and everyone else don't bother wasting money anymore.

    Burgers and fries.  That's an order of fries!!  Looks like leftovers.

    Not that good but if you're hungry it will do. The burgers have nothing but cheese onions and little else. Would not go again.

    Ordinary burger. Fries overcooked (hard on the outside and hollow in the middle). There are better burgers in Alpine.

It's very much self service here, you order either at a tablet or through your phone via QR code. We got a Mac and cheese dog, chili dog, SDfoodie dog, and the California. Along with the corn and cheese fries. I had the chili dog which is delicious and the California which I loved! The hot dogs are great quality and so good! I also love the cheese and fries, soooo tasty. The bun was a little big for me, but my fiancee loved it. It was a large brioche bun that was toasted nicely. The prices were around 9-11 for a dog which isn't horrible. If your in the mood for a fun and filling hot dog, this is a great choice!

    I enjoyed Doggos Gus back when it was a pop-up business located inside a University Heights…read moreneighborhood bar. I even remember when it was a participating vendor at a now defunct local food festival. Their current location is a corner shack in the East Village section of downtown next to The Church by The Lost Abbey. Everything in this area involved curbside metered parking or a paid surface lot. The shack was part of a large courtyard with multiple picnic tables for seating. Cornhole boards and a flat screen TV were set up for entertainment. You order using a tablet next to the service window. The menu used to be strictly bacon-wrapped hot dogs (i.e. Sonoran style). It has now expanded to include burgers, sides, appetizers, and desserts. A fountain station had dispensers for sodas, lemonade, and agua frescas. The hot dogs were divided into two sections, Classic and Signature. I selected two of the classics for my takeout order. The first was a Baja (grilled onions, pico, chipotle, avocado crema) and the second was a TJ Style (grilled onions, tomatoes, mayo, mustard, ketchup). The sweet bun used to hold everything resembled that used for a lobster roll. The flavor combinations were hearty and not spicy which was what I preferred. The grilled onions added some char and texture to the jumbo beef hot dogs. What has changed significantly over time were the prices. Each of my choices cost $8.99. Some of the other varieties were as high as $12 which is insane for a loaded hot dog. I did appreciate the bacon wrapping to the franks, but I can't see myself coming to East Village that often for these products because there are plenty of diverse dining options that are more satisfying in this part of downtown.

Both were really good all-beef dogs - Hebrew National would be my guess. Also, really good, solid buns. The In-N-Outt was really good but had a lot going on. A lot of the many toppings fell off and landed on my plate. The flavors and textures did meld very well together. The secret sauce was on the sweeter side. I loved that the bun was toasted. The New Yorker was the better of the two in my opinion. Simplicity is key, I think. Dog, bun, kraut, good mustard and a sprinkle of spice. Quality dog, good kraut, high quality mustard made for an excellent hot dog. My coworkers had really good things to say about their dogs as well. Particularly the Chili Cheese Dog, the So Cal Dog and the Surf Dog. The guac on the So Cal and pineapple on the Surf were especially intriguing. 5-star lunch!

My friend is a vegetarian so she was going to order the veggie Caesar wrap as she loves Caesar dressing and the lettuce and croutons. Will they told her it comes with peppers and carrots and mushrooms and no lettuce. And she was like what I want a Caesar wrap but just no chicken. I know like yeah it still doesn't come with lettuce. That makes zero sense. So then I go to order as we were at the machines so only one of us would go at a time. And I order the veggie bean and rice burrito and I asked what veggies come in there and again it's peppers and mushrooms and carrots and stuff like that I'm like no thanks can I just have a bean and rice burrito which is a very common burrito. And also cheese mind you. And they're like okay and I'll show you what I got in the pictures. Oh also it was black beans in it and it should be pinto beans for a burrito. I should have taken it back but I was honestly starving and I Just started eating. so thanks for the six beans. Definitely not worth ten dollars. It was absolutely disgusting. So someone in that kitchen needs to figure out how to do a chicken Caesar wrap with no chicken. It's not difficult it's lettuce seizure dressing and croutons in a wrap. You don't need the croutons actually. And figure out a bean and rice burrito. So if you're a vegetarian apparently don't go here because they don't know how to make food for you.
