    Onion Rings
    Kellee B.

    I drove by this place the other day and knew I had to try it once I saw their mural that read #1 since 1955! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger basket which means your burger comes with fries. You know I'm a crispy french fry girl and these fries were salted and crisped to perfection. Move over McDs. We thought from the pics online, we were just getting a small amount of fries, so we ordered a side of onion rings too. However, they don't skip on portions here. The only downside which really could be considered a positive is you will have a bit of a wait for your food. Everything is cooked to order, but it's definitely worth the wait.

    Since 1955!

    Great stop while passing through town. Double Burger and crinkle Fries are the best. Fast service and at the window. Highly recommend, place has been in business a long time and they make burgers right!

    Awesome service and even better service!

    Came into Roseville for the fireworks show on the 4th, saw this little old school type drive up burger place and we decided to give it a go! When we pulled up, turns out they had closed 30 mins prior, however they waived us to come up and told us yeah technically they closed but still had everything going and said they would serve us! We were so grateful!! Who does that now days?? Most employees cannot wait to clock off! May have been the owner there, not sure but we were happy. Now for the burgers we ordered, they were awesome!! Good ole fashioned juicy and flavorful burger at a good price point! Fries were great too. Potatoes and the right amount of crisp. So now my family and I are talking about the next time we will be ordering from here! Thank you thank you Nubbins! You got a good thing going!

    Dry ass burger gross

    Dry ass burger had to save it myself with mayo ketchup mustard over cooked fries long wait save your money and time. Couldn't even eat half before I got grossed out. Spend your money elsewhere. To the owner & your comment: Your food was nasty period. Both of ours orders were dry, over cooked, & over all a complete disappointment for the drive I made over there & the money we spent not worth it.

    We've passed by this spot countless times, but with the big "Under New Management" sign and summer in full swing, we finally decided to give it a try--and we're so glad we did! It's always great to support local businesses, especially when they make you feel this welcome. From the start, the service stood out. Gianna helped us out and was incredibly friendly and attentive. The place has a nostalgic charm to it--think old-school diner vibes with a local touch. We ordered a cheeseburger with everything, a plain cheeseburger, crinkle-cut fries, onion rings, and a vanilla milkshake. The shake machine had a hiccup after we ordered, but Gianna didn't miss a beat--she gave us a free drink to make up for the delay. Then, just as we were loading up our takeout into the car, she came out with the original shake after fixing the machine. Now that's customer service! As for the food: The milkshakes were excellent--definitely a highlight. Crinkle fries were a personal favorite. Onion rings had great flavor, though mine were cooked a bit too long. The burgers were solid and satisfying--I'd say they're on par with Five Guys, which is a pretty great comparison! All in all, this was a great first visit and we'll definitely be back. Thanks again, Gianna, for taking such good care of us!

    Looking for a spot to eat and stumbled on this place. There is a sign that says under new management. You go up to the window and order. You can either wait in your car or they have a little seating area to eat your food. They call out your name to go pick up your food at the window. Everyone was so nice and even apologized for the wait which was not even that long to us. The food was good, could use a little bit more seasoning but still good. Good portions for the price. Not a bad place to find.

    Hadn't been to Nubbin's in a several years. Driving past it recently, my wife mentioned it changed owner's again and it was supposed to be good. On our way back I decided to stop by. I ordered their Double Bacon Cheeseburger Basket with Fries and a Diet Dr. Pepper. My wife wanted a Soft Serve but the machine was out, so instead she opted for a Chocolate Malt Shake. Food and drinks came out pretty quickly and everything was so delicious! We ate at their outdoor patio. Tables needed some cleaning from sticky leftover foods and drink, otherwise the surrounding area was still pretty clean. It was a pretty hot day, in the 90's. Can be a bit stifling in that area when there is very little breeze. Other option is you can always eat in your car. I'm happy Nubbin's has stuck around despite the changes and tall buildings being built around it. Nubbin's is a Downtown Roseville institution and I hope it stays around for many more years to come!

    Stopped by. It's been a long time since I've been here. Checking out the service with the New Management. So far so good.

    Hot food. Cold shakes. Open late. All tastes great. I take my family here. And I love the updates they've done to the spot.

    Male employee that disrespectful. Surely hope this is not the owner.

John and his team have your hot dogs covered for your dining pleasure in western Placer County. It's mid afternoon, Saturday, June 07, 2025, and I'm enjoying the Rocklin Brewfest 2025 and I'm in the mood for a delicious hot dog. I've come to the right place, as Doggiestyle Hot Dogs was on site, and serving hot dogs for all to enjoy. This is a pop-up restaurant that servers hot dogs at events all over western Placer County. I went with a "Quarter Pound Nathan Dog," How can you beat that for a great hot dog? The dog began with a quarter pound Nathan's Hot Dog, which was grilled to perfection by hot dog chef John, on site, at the Rocklin Brewfest. The dog was simply perfect, and fitted perfectly with the large, fresh bun, which was a start for an amazing lunch. On to the condiments! The trip to the nearby condiment bar was worthwhile, as I added a cornucopia of condiments, including mustard, mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, chopped white onion, sauerkraut and especially peperoncini, which is a rare treat for hot dogs. I suppose you could call my hot dog loaded? No ketchup whatsoever, as I never desecrate a hot dog by adding ketchup. Not to mention... may I say my dog was loaded with delicious condiments? One bite into the dog I was rewarded with a refreshing "snap," thanks to the natural casing on Nathan's Hot Dog, which made the hot dog both worthwhile and simply delicious. The condiments I added simply enhanced the dog, and didn't take anything away from the amazing hot dog, and the fresh bun. Such a delicious hot dog! Chef John knows how to grill a hot dog, and the Nathan's Hot Dog he grills are as good as it gets. I tip my cowboy hat to chef John, and his delicious hot dogs! Five star dining for all of you who love a delicious hot dog.

    I love hot dogs in any way, shape or form, and I can say the same thing about a bargain,…read more,especially when it applies to a great lunch. During the month of July, 2025, the Wienerschnitzel restaurant chain was running the bargain of the year: Four "Chili Dogs" for $4.00, plus state sales tax. You can't beat that!! The dining room is very compact - it only seats 24 according to a sign - but it's clean and comfortable. I suppose it's small as most patrons seem to prefer the drive thru or to-go orders. Wienerschnitzel is your typical fast food restaurant, as the menu is listed above the order counter. You make your selection from the menu, pay for it, and when your order is ready, the friendly staff will either call your name or bring your order to you with a smile. Wiener Wednesday in July! Wienerschitzel "Chili Dog," one of four "Chili Dogs," for the price of four bucks. This is truly the "Deal of the Year" when it came to dining for the month of July, 2025! The foundation of the "dog" was a small, hot dog bun, similar to buns you purchase in your local supermarket. The "dog" was on the small size, but perfectly grilled, juicy and flavorful. No, the dog didn't "crunch" when I bit into it, as natural casing wasn't included, but that was alright with my taste buds and an amazing bargain for a dollar "dog." The chili on the dog was the sort of chili that you'd find almost anywhere... maybe from a can? ...and sort of middle of the road, both in texture and taste, but... hey... this is a "Chili Dog" and it all worked perfectly for a great early Wednesday lunch in July! Little packages of mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise were available by asking the counter staff, and I dressed my dogs with a package of mustard to add to the taste. These are the same "Chili Dogs" that are priced at $3.39 each most of the time. Do the math... today's score netted a whopping 77% savings over the regular price! Of course these were truly "no frills" dogs, with simply a bun, chili, the hot dog, and the mustard for dressing. But... priced at a dollar each... how could anybody complain? I simply LOVED my lunch and I LOVED the price! You can't beat the price of these regular "Chili Dogs," as each dog normally retails for $3.39 each... and I enjoyed FOUR dogs for $4.00 this month! That's simply unbelievable, but it's true... Keep your eyes and ears open, as the ads only seem to circulate around social media platforms, as you won't even see this offer on Wienerschitzel's web site or in your junk mail. Delicious dogs at a bargain price... Wienerschitzel... located in Roseville, CA.

During the off season, he caters to special events, school events, private parties, sports events, and almost any event where fine hot dogs are appreciated. Aaron, the proprietor, along with Kaylee, his assistant, set up shop, and serve delicious hot dogs for the enjoyment of hot dog lovers in the greater Roseville, CA area. The Dog Spot sets up their portable restaurant at Kaesburg Park, located at 1151 Rand Way, in Roseville, CA. The Dog Spot sets up shop at this location every Saturday during soccer season, as Kaesburg Park is one of the more popular locations in the area for weekend soccer practice and patches. The Dog Spot dishes out amazing dogs from 09:00 in the morning until 16:00 in the afternoon. When they're not set up at the park, you'll find them catering to private parties, social events, sports, competitions along with special events, all over the Roseville area. The menu features three varieties of dogs, snacks, candy, drinks and condiments. The sides selections can vary, depending upon availability. Ordering is simple, as you tell the staff which one of the three dogs you want, what condiments or toppings you want added to your dog, then you pay for your order and in a minute or so, you'll be presented with a fine hot dog. You can also order the "Meal Deal," which includes a drink and a bag of chips, and for those with a sweet tooth, candy is available to enhance your meal. My first dog of the day was the "Jumbo Dog," which headlines the menu. As for the condiments and toppings, I went with everything, except for ketchup. The dog was placed on a large, soft bun, with sesame seeds, and placed in a little paper bowl, just the right size to hold the bun and the dog. The chef applied - in this order - mustard, mayonnaise, diced dill pickle, relish, pickled diced jalapeno chili pepper, diced white onion, sauerkraut, and a sprinkle of celery salt, to give my "Jumbo Dog" a bit of a Chicago flair. My dog was fully dressed! When I bit into my "Jumbo Dog," I was rewarded with a crisp SNAP, thanks to the natural casing of the dog, along with a rush of juicy goodness. The topping-to- dog ratio was perfect, along with the meat-to-bun ratio, which made for an amazing dog, and the start to an outstanding lunch. I went for a "Spicy Sausage" for my second dog of the day. Like the "Jumbo Dog," the "Spicy Sausage" starts with a large, quarter-pound sausage with natural casing, so when you bit into it, you're rewarded with a SNAP. It's advertised as "spicy," and it does have a bit of a 'kick" to it, but it wasn't excessively spicy. The heat ratio reminded me of a jalapeno pepper, after the seeds and stems have been removed. You get a little "kick" but lots of amazing sausage flavor! The Dog Spot will satisfy your craving for a juicy hot dog during soccer season at Kaesburg Park, and when they aren't set up at the park, you'll find them dishing out fine dogs at private parties, school events, sports, competitions, along with special events. Catering services are offered, for your hot dog enjoyment! You can't go wrong with the fine service and amazing hot dogs served by friendly Aaron and his crew at The Dog Spot, at various locations, in and around Roseville, CA. Look to The Dog Spot for fine hot dogs at the next event in town!
