I was at a wedding in LA where these guys were the featured late night act of the reception and they were a huge hit. I am never one to shy from food truck offerings and went out of my way to try a few of the things that they did best. Some of the items my not-so-sober friends and I got to try: Brat Jovi: This is an "aged cheddar cheese infused bratwurst topped with peppers. It was so good that I nearly face my nearby dining companions a cheese facial from the juiciness of the first bite. The peppers provided a nice zing to the already very savory bratwurst. The Bomb Dog: It was incredibly messy. That's to be expected when the hot dog is wrapped with bacon covered with mustard, grilled onions, a pile of chili and cheese, and slice of pickle to boot. It was also incredibly good. How U Doin Dog: This was forced upon me after some heckling from my Cali buddies hoping to showcase some kind of east coast sounding hot dog ... but this chicken apple sausage topped with bbq sauce and onions while wrapped in bacon was a surprise. It was really good. The onions were a little excessive but I didn't realize how good bacon and *chicken* sausage would taste together. Bravo. Hippie Dog: Had a bite of this soy based hot dog and was not thrilled. I'm not saying a vegetarian version of a hot dog isn't quality, but I think the combination of me being almost full as well as eating the other hot dogs meant that this one really stood out for the wrong reasons. We also scored fries and chips, which were nominal at best. They made for nice side pieces for the hot dogs, which were clearly the star of the show. They also have salads as well for the health conscious, but we weren't about that life that night. The lemonade is super fresh, I recommend that as the drink of choice over anything else they offer. Lastly, the guys in the truck were professionals all the way. They were kind enough to explain all of their menu items and dealt with the more unruly guests by offering more food. They were just the right presence for a fun evening and I wouldn't hesitate to stop by their truck (or their San Luis Obispo location) for any and all hot dog related cravings. read more

Tried these dogs when it was parked outside boomtown brewery on a saturday. Super fast and staff is friendly they take cash and card. I tried the sausage with peppers it is moist and the peppers are just enough spice to compliment it. Prices are a little high but the quality is good. IG @backpacking_rob read more

I got to try @thegreasywiener for the first time today! Now, I have a confession to make...I have never, NEVER, ever tried anything bacon wrapped anything in my whole entire life. When I went to this food truck fundraiser at a local school, there were a lot of great trucks there (six trucks total). I went to my trusted yelp iphone app to find out what my fellow yelpers were recommending and found that The Greasy Wiener was one of the highly rated trucks. I think I was sold when I started reading about bacon wrapped hot dogs. This was my chance to try out this beloved food by many. I quickly looked through The Greasy Wiener's menu and saw what was called "The Bomb." "The Bomb" is basically a bacon wrapped dog with chili and cheese. It is $6. I also ended up getting a free box of curly fries for free (normally it is $5) for checking in on Yelp. Yay! "The Bomb" lives up to it's name. It's a pretty good hot dog and the bacon definitely adds a nice little flavor to the wiener. The chili and cheese made one nice, messy wiener and added even more flavor . The box of curlys was a good match. What is there not to like about curly fries? They give a pretty decent amount of fries and so I was quite full after just eating half of "The Bomb" and half of my fries. I'm glad to have been able to try another food truck and yay now I can say that I have tried bacon wrapped food (hehe)! Thanks much The Greasy Wiener! read more

These are not your ordinary backyard hometown wieners. They're from a truck and they're f'in amazing. And they won the first ever OC Fair chowdown because I was the judge and I said so. And you want to know what else? They freakin' beat out Pinks! Pinks! The old Hollywood legend. This itty bitty truck from LA is not to be taken lightly. During the OC Fair, we tried their "The Bomb" hotdog which is named by their fans and rightfully so. The Bomb is a bacon wrapped dog with mustard, chili, cheese, grilled onions, and topped with a dill pickle spear. Ours also had some jalapenos. It had quite a kick. I'm not a big fan of onions but I didn't mind the onions on this hot dog. The flavor combination was delicious. Later that day, I found their truck again and ordered the bacon bleu iggs. These sliders are packed with angus beef on two hawaiian rolls with grilled onions, bacon, bleu cheese and their special sauce. I split these with a friend and wish I had gotten the double order. One slider just wasn't enough. Paired with a beer they were perfect. And yet later that day, we found ourselves there again with even more friends and split an order of buffalo bleus. These are spicy fries but get really soggy so eat them fast while they still have a crisp or else you'll get a spicy potato mush. Overall, I loved my foodie adventure at this truck. Will be back for more! read more

I've always complained about food trucks not being close enough to my neighborhood. I guess I can STFU now that the Greasy Wiener was literally parked across the street from my apartment today. I had already eaten a small breakfast bagel before finding out that they were literally right there and 5 minutes from opening, so I decided to forego the fries and just get a wiener. I had "The Greasy Wiener" which was $5 and came with grilled onions, mustard, and a pickle spear. There was one (free) add on of chili, cheese, or bacon and I chose the bacon. Other wieners were in the same price range and meals were about $10/$11. This particular wiener reminded me a lot of a street dog, except minus the smokey taste of bus exhaust fumes that those particular hot dogs seem to have. The bacon was crunchy, the wiener had a snap to it, the mustard was just the right amount (you can add more, and ketchup, to your stomachs delight!). The onions were juicy and not overly cooked. All in all, I enjoyed the wiener. Prices were average for a food truck and I even enjoyed the pickle spear (and I hate pickles; this plus my extra weight gain at the moment is kind of a troubling factor for myself). I'd def. visit again. read more

The Greasy Wiener - "the greasy weiner" w/ bacon $5. - Hot Dogs Near Me

I had the "How you doin" hot dog. Best hot dog I've ever had! If you haven't tried this place, you are definitely missin out!

How else to follow up a review on chi chi-s but with a review about weenies! (i've been reading too many Cesar R reviews...) When 4 out of 5 of my fave Fab Five rated this wiener mobile a whopping 5 stars, i knew i had to try one when i ran into their bright yellow truck at Artwalk. Since i'm a spice wuss, i got a regular Greasy Wiener that comes with grilled onions, mustard and pickle and choice of free topping. no doubt i had to get bacon! sadly my pickle went down the downtown gutters... The hotdog was yummy, but i think i couldn't fully experience their awesomeness with my choice. i think that the dogs are probably much better eaten spicy. Or with chili and cheese on top with a side of Iggy sliders. Next time i hope to catch it before i have already filled my belly with other eats! For now, 4.5- until next time! read more

Rarely has the conscious decision to NOT put a big greasy wiener in my mouth led to anything but disappointment. Big, greasy wieners in my mouth usually make me quite happy..and make the wife quite upset. So for the sake of my family....I approached the greasy wiener and resisted temptation....no weiner in my mouth tonight good sir....I'll have some sliders thank you very much! Wait, those come with bacon right? BACON BLEU IGG SLIDERS ($6) 2 Angus Beef sliders served on two King's hawaiian rolls Topped with grilled onions, bleu cheese, bacon and a "special sauce" http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/74U5LUGwXz1VqkT9YtbJlQ?select=pDZ9yk1Wg3y-gmt_T-kUbg The flavor packed into these sliders is incredible! Succulent , warm angus beef, tangy bleu cheese, sharp, tasty onions, salty, crispy bacon all held together with a delicious, zesty sauce blend and finally sweet, fluffy buns all encompassing the deliciousness. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/74U5LUGwXz1VqkT9YtbJlQ?select=Yq5R7GFpXmiWs26t-FF5jg SO. DAMN. GOOD. Almost made me want to question the desire of having wieners in my mouth ever again.....ah! who am I kidding, next time they're in town, I'm a put 2 greasy wieners in my mouth. read more

*A vegetarian's take on The Greasy Wiener* I'm not all about chasing food trucks, and I'm not one to wait in line for just anything, but after missing dinner with friends because of traffic, we happened upon a food truck with no line and decided to check it out. As we got closer to it, I saw that it was The Greasy Wiener. I almost turned around and walked the other way before wasting my time getting closer, but decided to go take a look anyway. Lo and behold, they had a vegetarian option, so I decided to look a little further. My vegetarian suspicions had me concerned that even veggie wieners on a truck probably would be cooked with the real wieners, so I didn't get my hopes up very high. I asked the oh-so friendly gentleman at the window if the "greasy hippie" was cooked along with the other wieners. Surprisingly, he informed me that they were not; they were cooked along with the french fries. That made up my mind, so we ordered the meal ($6), which included fries and a can of soda for my wifey. The hot dog was topped with a good portion of large pieces of soft sauteed onions, which I am not always a fan of, but they made this wiener pretty darn good. Along with mustard and pickles, it had just the right portioning and flavor combination to make a plain ol' hot dog into a tasty wiener. The portion of the french fries wasn't too large, and they weren't very memorable by themselves, but they were a nice compliment to the greasy wiener. What sets this place apart from the hot dog carts around LA? Well, for me, they have a vegetarian option! But for the rest of you out there: the guy who works there was really nice and friendly; the service is relatively quick but your order is made fresh; it appeared to be very clean (and relatively new). A-Ok...I wouldn't stand in line for it, and can think of better things to spend $6 on, but for convenient and veggie-friendly, it did the job! read more

Tried the Greasy Wiener for the first time and let me start by saying, this isn't the sort of food I actively search for when thinking about what to eat, but boy oh boy, am I glad I tried The Greasy Wiener. I'm very picky when it comes to hotdogs -- hell I'm picky period. I like my dogs to have a snap, not a weak-ass snap, but a good healthy one. The dog has to exhibit good flavor and the condiments have to complement the dog well. What we tried: apple sausage dog (spicy) -- was good, but I am not a fan of sweet things and the hint of apple in this sausage gave it the slight sweetness which I'd rather not have, but my kid loves that combo Iggy sliders (spicy) -- okay I wish i had paid more attention while eating this but god-damn it was so tasty I forgot to really analyze what was in this burger and inhaled it too quickly. All I know is there was grilled onions, jalapenos (because I asked for spicy) and this DEEELICIOUS "secret sauce". I'm not a burger kinda gal but these sliders were kick ass Bacon chili dog -- OMFG OMFG OMFG this was sooooooooooooo good. Very messy to eat, but ohhhhhhhh sooooooo good. The dog has the snappiest of snaps, the chili was so rich and flavorful and the cheese sauce wasn't thick and gluey but light and so tasty Chili cheese fries -- this heart stopper was a massive portion (for only $4) and topped with the same delicious chili and cheese sauce on the dog. The chili and cheese sauce are both made on the truck every morning. I could not stop eating this even though I walked away and tried to see what else was available on the other trucks. I found myself coming back over and over again to eat these fries. I'd have to say I've never been blown away by hotdogs and burgers before -- seriously! To me, hotdogs are hotdogs and burgers, well, they're burgers! How awesome can they really be, I mean c'mon! And oh by the way, they also have a vegetarian dog called "the Hippie" -- it doesn't have a snap like the regular dogs, but it has a smokey flavor which makes it a decent dog, but it's not for me, sorry! I love the snap WAY too much! The Greasy Wiener has changed my opinion! I will definitely pay them another visit when they are in Orange County next!! read more

So many things to try! This was one of five trucks at the Meals on Wheels, Long Beach Gourmet Food Truck night fund raiser in March. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kevin-b-s-gourmet-food-truck-pye-long-beach?select=PnXmfwSvtk0XT9v_uIcvhg#rKYzJure2RVzxfH0SbfE7A After checking out all the trucks, I decided get a couple of dogs from Greasy Weiner. I ordered the LA Street Dog: (bacon wrap, mayo, mustard, ketchup, grilled onion, fresh tomato. $6) and The Bomb: (Bacon wrap, mustard, grilled onions, chili, cheese, dill pickle spear. $7) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-greasy-wiener-los-angeles?select=DDMJUMEYuA9wg3wYROjXRQ#DDMJUMEYuA9wg3wYROjXRQ Pops ate the Street Dog, I had The Bomb. Man I have to tell you The Bomb WAS The Bomb! GREAT combo of flavors and the dog casing went "SNAP" every time I took a bite.... it was pure awesomeness in a bun! And THANK YOU Greasy Wiener for donating a portion of your proceeds from the day to Meals on Wheels, that's awesome! read more

"laughing uncontrollably" "still laughing uncontrollably" "Um...I'll have a hamburger...just kidding, just kidding" Once again this is the first impressions from my 10 year old daughter who is my sous chef, budding food truck groupie and future yelper of all things edible when asked by myself, twice, what she wanted from the Greasy Wiener truck followed by her reply to when the same question was asked by the amazing woman taking our order at the Valley Food Truck Festival. I know there are a lot of variations on their menu like chili, blue cheese but we both agreed that a simple dog with mustard and onions would be allowed for a fair comparison against other hot dogs. We allowed one addition each - I had mine bacon wrapped and she did the cheese. Hands down, the best hot dog that I have ever eaten. Perfect flavors, simple pickle spear, the right amount of mustard, the onions were grilled just the right amount of time all put on the freshest and softest of buns. The bacon only added to these flavors as did the cheese on my daughters. It was so good we went back for seconds to take home with us and when we approached the window we heard "this is the girl that I was telling you about" to discover that the amazing woman at the window was Iggy's mom. Iggy came out to talk with her about her love of hot dogs and how he appreciated that we ordered his namesake dog as it's simple and allows the flavors of the meat to stand on it's own. Next time, I'm adding chili and the sliders to my order but walked away fulfilled and wanting more! And yes, she is still laughing at the name..... read more

The Greasy Wiener (no homo, but no on 8!) has to be one of the best food trucks I've ever been to. I checked out this truck un-expectedly today at the Carson Town Center because I was sad that The Buttermilk Truck ran out of food. I looked around and gave The Greasy Wiener truck a try since I was really hungry. I ended up paying $5 even for a spicy chilli bacon wrapped chili dog with pickles, chopped peppers, grilled onions with ketchup and mustard and honestly, it wasn't bad. In fact, it's a good alternative to the "ghetto dogs" you see sold around Los Angeles by the Latinos simply because The Greasey Wiener's hot dog tastes and looks a little more gourmet. It's surprising that a hot dog that looks like it came from a damn roach coach! I was impressed! Negatives: -Around the truck, I saw people munching on their chili cheese fries that cost around $4 and honestly, I'd rather spend $5 for Louis Burgers' chili cheese fries! -Looking at their sliders, Kogi's look way bigger and tastier. I noticed that a lot of females saying that the way their hotdogs are garnished look cute to them...it definitely backs up it's looks with it's actual awesome taste! Also I noticed that their container for their chili cheese fries are so cool, durable and come with a lid! (Take notes, Filipino trucks!) Would I come back to this truck? Yup, and I was impressed by the pretty fast line! Customer service was phenomenal...the guy took my order, answered my questions and the chefs didn't F' around on the grill by saying stupid ishhh like "It will be ready in 2 hours" like my experience with the Tapa Boy truck...seriously, I was going to give this place 4 stars, but the customer service matched the quality of the hotdog. The Greasy Wiener is definitely worth trying and any hotdog fanatic whether you're heterosexual, homosexual, bi-sexual or even bi-polar will love this great alternative to Tommy's and the L.A. ghetto dogs! :) read more

I couldn't wait to get that Greasy Wiener in my mouth! I'm not a big fan of condiments in general, but I really try to avoid them on my hot dogs. I'm not quite sure what it is -- I suppose I like to keep my wiener free from foreign debris. I made an exception for Greasy Wiener, though. When the caramelized onions, mustard and pickle come standard, it's tough to go against the better judgment of the chef. I'm glad I didn't! No one particular condiment overpowered the rest in my $6 combo, they were all in sync and played off each other really well. The fries didn't look like they were going to be anything special, mostly due to their paper container that reminded me of every greasy spoon I've ever been to. Surprisingly, the salty fries were a real treat. For a second I thought that they might combine with the bacon to produce an overly-salty experience, but that was never the case. That said, I still think there's some room for Greasy Wiener to become a bit more experimental with the preparation of their fries or perhaps the seasoning. Any guy will tell you that presentation is important for a wiener (from BBQ experience, of course). The Greasy Wiener delivers on that front as well. From the flat screen TV that hangs down, the speakers that blare out popular tunes, to even the pretty little lady that takes and delivers your order from outside the truck, this truck has it going on. Take a chance on The Greasy Wiener; it'll have you licking your lips and asking for more. read more

I had their chili fries at the Santa Anita Food Truck Festival a few weeks ago and even though it was good, I'm giving them a 1 star because the fat asian chick at the window was not appreciative. First, if you're running a food truck business, make sure you have enough change on hand. Second, when a customer wants to tip you (whether a dollar or more) always be gracious and don't say things like, "That won't make a difference anyways". I get it, you didn't want to give me five $1 bills cause you had no change, that's your fat fault. I work in the food and beverage industry and a tip is ALWAYS appreciated. BUT not this rude fatty. Maybe all the greasy food has gotten in way of her courteousness but what she said to me was not only rude but totally insensitive! I've always learned to be thankful and have common courtesy, this bitch didn't and she rubbed me the wrong way. I hope the truck gets into an accident and all the greasy weiners fall on her one day. Learn to be appreciative and learn to carry enough change! read more

Wow. Not bad for a hotdog truck. I wanted the veggie dog or the apple chicken, but unfortunately all they had was their greasy dogs... Since they were out of the other hotdogs, they gave me an option to add any topping. So much for trying to get a veggie dog for an "healthy option" I ended up adding BACON to my greasy dog... I regretted making the unhealthy choice but what can I do right? Took a bite into and wow. It was surprisingly VERY good! It was juicy and I loved the toppings. My boyfriend got the chili cheese curly fries which was also very good! Might not be fair that I am taking away a star for not having anything other than the greasy dogs, but I really did want to try the veggie hippi dog and the apple chicken dog. read more

DISAMBIGUATION---This review is about the Greasy Wiener, a gourmet food truck in Los Angeles, California. If you are looking for a review of D-List celebrity Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, please retype "Greasy Whiner". The dog was as good as it gets. Simple, basic, uncomplicated, and perfect. Hot Dog, pickles, onions and just a little mustard. Finally a chef who understands you don't have to drown the dog in it. Fresh Dog, fresh bun, and the perfect produce. So why is this only 3 stars and not 5? Well, some of you may think I am being a bit of an asshole here, but I am knocking them down because I don't believe I should have to inhale the smoke of their employees cigarettes while I am waiting for my order. Sure these guys work hard and deserve a break now and then; but please dude, take it down the block if you want to smoke. It really does detract from the whole experience. I think non-smokers out number smokers about 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 in So Cal, and have you ever met a non-smoker who liked second-hand smoke? Please don't chase us away.

With a name like this how can you go wrong? The marketing sells itself. I'm inspired to start my own truck called "Flog My Meat" and serve pulled pork between buns. I tried to get GF and Ciara to put my greasy wiener in their mouths at the same time but the best I could do was to get them to both take a bite of it separately. Normally I would say the words "wiener" and "bite" shouldn't be in the same sentence, but in this case...it's fine. I'll keep working on them. Ah, you gotta love innuendo. Kidding aside, this was my favorite truck of the night. Perhaps I was a bit biased after the sheer disappointment of the Frysmith Truck. Greasy Wiener chaser Ciara had been after this truck for a while so we were gladly dragged up and down Abbott Kinney looking for it. Bacon Cheesy Chili Greasy Wiener ($5) - This was great. Perfectly cheesy and oniony lovingly wrapped in a bacon snuggie. The wiener had that snap when you bite into it. We added fries and a diet coke for an additional $2. Iggy ($5) - The Iggy is an all beef slider. I have been on a slider kick lately and these are some of the best I've had in So Cal. I recommend getting this one spicy. Gooey, cheesy, goodness. Bacon Cheesy Chili Wiener - 5 Stars Iggy - 5 Stars Fries - 4 Stars (Your basic thin cut fries, good but nothing groundbreaking) Service - 5 Stars (Super friendly and fast) Value - 4 Stars (Good but not great value for the price) Ambiance - N/A (Outdoors) Parking - N/A (Walk up only) TOTAL = 23 Stars Average = 23/5 = 4.6 Stars Rounded up to 5 Stars read more

Hands down the best hot dog I've had from a food truck. Better than an old fashion LA street dog? Depends on how late it is and how intoxicated you are. My main gripe with food trucks is the dollar to food ratio. I hate paying $7 for a crappy sandwich or $5 for a tiny slider or two. But Greasy Wiener delivered large quantities of really good food at a fair price. I was hesitant to shell out $5 for fries, but when I got the box I know it was worth it. A huge mass of curly fries, smothered in top notch nacho cheese and raw jalapenos, could have been a meal on its own. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/74U5LUGwXz1VqkT9YtbJlQ?select=FYiVDNqfsFbj-0OmUlZFNw Next up was the Berkowitz, a nebulous mass of just about every great topping you can have on a dog. Bacon, mustard, chili, cheese, kraut, grilled onions, and a pickle spear all worked together to shave a year off my life in a matter of minutes. I asked for it spicy and it was of okay spice. Next time I'll be asking for extra spicy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/74U5LUGwXz1VqkT9YtbJlQ?select=zwyHXrtl309jAOvFeVoEKw I've been back once since my first visit and it was just as good.

@thegreasywiener @Roaminghunger_LA Food Trucker App http://www.roaminghunger/la Jersey is reprezentin here in a non-cheesy way! All joking aside this Dog Truck is truly amazing! The really nice people working gave me one of the best dogs I've ever had in my life. I experienced this most awesome L.A. Food Truck at the O.C. Fairgrounds which totally made the $7 price tag more justifiable since that is just a little putt! Even though their prices are pretty consistent with other Food Trucks it is their larger than normal portions that will make one feel better about checking this one out. Even though there were so many great choices between other trucks and their great sounding menu I finally decided to try their "How you doin?": http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-greasy-wiener-los-angeles?select=mR5xkK-tt6UsY7WGd6Qm-Q#fSE-8KaQ3CNc_DAqTdrXNw which is a most delicioius Bacon Wrapped Chicken Apple Sausage that is topped with tender Grilled Onions and some BBQ Sauce... what transpired was an uber-flavorful dog with assertive flavors that produced a nice snap in a fluffy grilled bun! Every ingredient complemented the other as if acquainted for years! GW is one of those trucks you definitely want to seek out and love if you experience! They accept either cash or card! read more

Wow. I inhaled that Berkowitz hot dog in under 5 minutes. That's including the time that I spilled my water from getting too excited, and the ensuing cleanup. It was so good that I was still taking bites out of the dog while mopping up the floor with cocktail napkins. This is in NO WAY a healthy meal, so no sissies need apply. Everyone else, DIG THE F&CK IN. Here's the skinny on the truck that causes the flab: - Flavorful wiener with great texture..inside is moist and juicy and the outer skin is tight and crispy at parts. - Chili and cheese is the gooey amorphous kind that sticks nicely to the hot dog without falling out all over the place in chunks. My coworkers probably couldn't tell if it was food I was eating or food I was yakking, but it tasted wonderful. - Kraut was DELICIOUSLY SOUR. Great complement to the overall savory of the hot dog. Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my pucker face. - I asked for spicy, and I LOVE that their take on it is to throw on some chopped fresh jalapeno. So many places will concoct a different chili or something to satisfy the spicy-loving customers but that just changes the flavor of the overall. Did I mention this is only $5.50? Worth every penny, I tell ya. GREAT job, Greasy. I'll be seeing you again, hopefully soon. read more

I came here for the Street Food Cinema event on August 18th. There were about 15 food trucks to choose from. I do enjoy food trucks, for the sole reason that they always have unique menu options. I went down the line of food trucks and this truck, the lobster truck, and the Rounds burger truck all caught my eye. I decided to go with The Greasy Wiener because it was the cheapest and I hadn't had a wiener in a while. The service was efficient, and the order-taker-cashier was smiley and bubbly, both make for a delightful ordering experience. I ordered the burkowitz wiener that had sauerkraut, chili, cheese, mustard, and a dill pickle on top. I also ordered some plain curly fries as a chaser. I received my order in a timely manner, much quicker than my friends who were ordering from two of the other trucks. So while waiting for my friends, I decided to eat my dinner. The toppings were yummy, everything was moist, but not too wet where everything falls apart in your hands. The sauerkraut was "sehr gut" and the chili and cheese went well with the dog. However, the wiener, now that was something else. It was fried and it was a little too tough and chewy for my liking, it reminded me of rubber and that's not a good thing. The curly fries were curly fries, so no boost and no minus points for the side. I enjoyed the wonderful server and service, but the food, which should be the highlight of a meal experience, did not sit well on my taste buds. I believe there are other food trucks in existence out there that can provide you with better tasting, more unique food options. read more

I booked the Greasy Wiener for a fundraiser at work and everything was perfect! First, Adam and his staff are pleasant and amazing which made doing business with them effortless. They made the flyer for our event, created specials for our employees, and were prompt and ready to start taking orders early. The food was phenomenal. So much so that we are planning to have them back by popular demand. I especially loved the LA Street dog and the skinny fries. I took a dog home to my boyfriend and he told me that he had not had a hot dog like that in YEARS!! Amazing, Amazing, Amazing! I highly recommend the Greasy Wiener!!! read more

We checked out the Greasy Wiener truck at the OC Fair New Years Block Party. We were craving some junk food, so we went with the chili cheese curly fries for $6. I thought it did the job, but I thought it was a bit pricey for what we got. The chili was runny--not a big deal, as it's probably their style--but it could've used more flavor. The fries were dominated by the nacho cheese sauce more than anything. As far as the curly fries, they were nice and crispy, but nothing out of the ordinary. It tasted like curly fries from Jack in the Box. For $6, I wish there was something more original, or give us the option for some toppings. If I ever see the Greasy Wiener truck again in the future, I will have no choice but to go for... the Greasy Wiener! read more

Also had the chance to try the bacon and cheese curly fries from a friend and it was very good too! Their curly fries are just perfect..

The Greasy Wiener - The Bomb hot dog w/ chili cheese curly fries - Hot Dogs Near Me

If I loved this truck any more than I do, my heart would probably explode. I initially came across them when I first moved to LA, and have been wholeheartedly stalking ever since. I'm a small chick, but I can throw back 4 of their veggie hotdogs at a clip (I know, impressive!!) The vegetarian hot dog is called "The Dirty Hippie" and it is delicious. Their dragon fries (garlic + basil) are really tasty as well. If you're a junk food vegetarian, or even just having a "cheat day" you must pop by this truck. I'd *alllllmost* give 1/2 a star off because sometimes they can be a bit unreliable (their website isn't updated sometimes, or they say on the website they'll be at one event and then aren't able to make it etc.) but my love of the wien is so strong that I can find this forgivable. The owner, his girlfriend, and employees are all awesome as well, this is tops on my food truck list for sure. read more

The Greasy Wiener - The Bomb - Hot Dogs Near Me

This review is a week overdue (hmmm...maybe I should write it in limerick form since that rhymes so well?) I have been salivating over the reviews for The Greasy Wiener for months now. From what I'd read, it appeared they served mainly the LA area during the week, so I thought I'd never get to wrap my lips around one of their plump tasty meat missiles and enjoy the greasy goodness from within. I was out shopping for home furnishing last Saturday....and there, in the parking lot of an OC rug outlet it stood: 17 fantastic, shiny food trucks, all lined up and serving hundreds of hungry food hounds. And the best part? Right smack dab in the middle of it all sparkled the adorable little Greasy Wiener truck! I finally located parking, pushed my way through the crowd and made my way to the front of the line. What to choose? What to choose? I thought the easy answer would be a wiener of course, but after perusing the short, exceptionally well-priced menu I was totally confused. My taste buds screamed for me to make a selection! (and my stomach growled right along in unison). I'd polled a few folks wolfing down their food and got nothing but rave reviews. The choices were all over the board and all positive.... finally, I deferred to the nice man taking orders and confessed my sin: I am a GW virgin. If this were your first time, and you could have whatever your little heart desires, what would HE choose? Turns out that man was the owner, Adam. He leaned forward, and whispered his seductive line: Go for the Iggy's Sliders...that'll hook you, and then you'll come back for the wiener. Since everything is made fresh to order, it took a few minutes (probably 7-8) which seemed like an eternity. I watch as gleeful customer after ravenous consumer walked away with their steaming dogs and sliders covered in gooey with blue cheese and dripping with sweet grilled onions....giant piles of hot crispy fries...my GOD it all looked and smelled so good! Would my food EVER arrive??? Then I heard him call out "Lisa, your order order is ready"...his hand seductively slipping my sliders through the little window of his coach. I really wish I'd taken a picture as it was a work of art. The bread was soft and slightly sweet, hand pressed, seasoned beef slider patties slathered in his slightly spicy sauce topped them. Grilled onions smothered chunks of bleu cheese and perfectly crisp pieces of applewood bacon as the meal lay before me. My mouth watered. Quivering, I brought the slider to my eager lips....and then it happened. I took my first bite and the flavors exploded into my mouth and danced across my tongue. Pure heaven on a little golden bun! I gnoshed these little gems, and enjoyed the wonderful sunshine. These were absolutely amazing - hands down, the best slider I've ever eaten. Ever. So thank you Adam...thank you for giving me the most amazing mouth-gasm I could have ever hoped for. In the immortal words of the Govenator: I'll be baaaack =) read more

This was the first truck I tried at the Santa Anita Food Truck Fest and man did it start me off right! I ordered The Bomb: a sort-of LA dirty dog with attitude. It was a bacon-wrapped hot dog with grilled onions and chili-cheese. This thing was decently sized and pretty damn messy. The good kind of messy. The real star was the Dragotta fries: Curly fries topped with REAL pieces of raw garlic, seasoning, and italian parsely. WOW this stuff was GOOD! My rule of thumb is, if you can't find it anywhere else, then it's definitely worth lining up for. If anyone knows where else I can get this stuff, by all means, tell me. If not, shut up and just line up! It'll be worth the wait. Promise. I'd gladly hunt this truck down. read more

So I finally did it. I went back for the ill-fated dog that had disappointed me, oh so long ago.... I gave the chili cheese wiener one more shot to please me, and I must say....it was quite satisfying. It was everything it promised to be. This HUGE wiener, packed full of chili and cheese, wrapped in bacon, with a little bit of jalapeño on top to spice up my mouth. Damn! It was GOOD! read more

Yesterday I stopped by The Little Bar in West LA to catch the end of the Red Sox game. The Little Bar doesn't have a kitchen area. After some time a dude walks in and states his truck is outside. I go and order the Iggy burgers special. It's two mini Angus beef burgers with caramelized onions. They come with fries. I added the chili to my fries. He spiced the burger just a tad bit. I finished my meal inside the bar. Food was top quality. Tasted pretty fresh. read more

GF and I were at the No Ho Taco Cook Off and ran into The Greasy Wiener. In my few years of food trucking I have never tried The Greasy Wiener. People who know me might find this strange given my affinity for hot dogs, but all that was remedied at the Taco Cook Off. GF and i ordered a Greasy Wiener and chose bacon wrapped as our premium topping. Once she took the first bite of that wiener her eyes lit up and i knew she was in heaven. She nearly downed the whole thing before i even got a chance to do work. Let me tell you, once that wiener hit my lips i was also in heaven. All the ingredients complimented each other nicely and the bacon wrapped option is definitely the way to go. Next time i would like to try their chili as we hear its pretty good. Can't wait to put another Greasy Wiener in my mouth! read more

First time tasting this at the LA Times Book Festival. These hot dogs were definitely greasy like their name suggests. They're good but if you've ever had Pinks hotdogs, you kind of expect something amazing from hot dogs. These are flavorful, topped with lots of fixings like onions, pickles, etc but the beef dog itself is skinny. You kind of feel like you should have gotten more meat for the price. It's a decent hot dog if you're really hungry for some delicious fatty foods! It hits the spot. read more

tried this guys out this past Saturday and had the Bacon Chilly Cheesy Greasy (Spicy not Regular). It wasn't mind blowing but it was prety darn good, this coming from a person who doesn't even really like hotdogs. The hot dog comes with tons of stuff on it that really MAKE the hot dog and the dog and the bacon theirselves only had a hint of flavor. If I came upon the trucka again, was hungry ,and there was no Kogi or Buttermilk truck around I would eat this again. read more

I tried this place yesterday while it was parked at the Long Beach Food Festival. It was our primary meal I do believe as we opted to go with it over the many other choices and I wasn't let down. I got I think it was called The Bomb, which was a hot dog wrapped in bacon with onions, cheese, chili, and god knows what else on it. It was good. Maybe not little mexican dude grilling outside of the club in Hollywood good, but definately comparable with any "L.A. Dog" I've had at a restaurant. Girlfriend got the sliders, we ended up giving each other half and half actually and I loved the slider. The taste of the beef was fantastic. Next time I'm ordering myself 4 of these bad boys. We also got fries topped with cheese and bacon... Fantastic! Fries tasted much like Jack in a Box but the cheese was good and was a perfect side for an already greasy meal. I look forward to finding this truck again. read more

One of my favorite GFTs. It is one of the few trucks I eat at time and time again. Part of it has to do with the food and the other part of it is because of the owner Adam. We have a longer review on our blog but I wanted to mention the new addition to Adam's menu. He has a new special fried Twinkie with whipped cream and bacon. He takes a simple Twinkie and drops it in the fryer until it is golden brown. Then adds whipped cream and his awesome bacon! It is truly a treat!! I was lucky enough to get the very first one he offered to the public and I loved it. Crunchy on the outside and still caky on the inside. You have to try it! read more

A friend recommended the Buffalo Bleus and, as a lover of all things cheese, I had to try it. They didn't skimp on the cheese! All of the fries were coated with wing sauce and it wasn't as messy as I expected. A lot of things other people ordered looked good so I will definitely return! read more

They were out at Santa Monica Brew Works. We had Bratwurst and a burger with blue cheese. Both were delicious. The bratwurst was my favorite, a lot bigger than the bun and cover in opinions a peppers. A little messy but well worth it. Oh and everything had bacon on it! read more

Oh you greasy little wiener you... So a buddy of mine sends me pics all the time of all his great eats and I refer to these texts as "Food Porn" and I refer to him as my Food Pimp. After my greasy wiener experience tonight, there's a new pimp in my life. Hugo C.....Hugo C. is "THE" PIMP as he turned me on and reeled me in with some dirty talk about a Greasy Wiener. His opening line in his review "I couldn't wait to get that Greasy Wiener in my mouth!", won me over and I was under the wiener spell. From that day on I have been seeking out this truck. I needed it, I craved it, I couldn't stop talking about it, I just flat out HAD TO HAVE the Greasy Wiener. Finally the time had come. I saw that they would be at First Friday (for their first time) and knew I had to brave the masses. A girl will do anything in the promise of a great greasy wiener. After all, I have been single for awhile now. So with wiener on my mind, I searched high and low, up and down the streets of Abbot Kinney until I saw it. It was so beautiful. All shiny and yellow with a giant wiener on it that pretty much said to me 'eat me, eat here". With the most low key end of the block spot there was hardly a line. I waited patiently for my turn and ordered my wiener. First, they do not automatically come bacon wrapped so you have to remember to order it. They dress you wiener with their standard fares and are cool enough to offer you a free additional topping. This free additional topping should and better be the bacon. I went for the Spicy wiener tonight bacon wrapped of course. My wiener was topped with a combo of items that I personally never top my wiener with (grilled onions and bell peppers, mustard and a pickle). But I have to agree with The PIMP Hugo C. that "who am I to go against the better judgment of the Chef". Man was The PIMP right! My wiener was amazing! A long crispy, spicy wiener with the worlds best ingredient (bacon) wrapped abound it hugging on for dear life and topped to perfection with things I don't even like. This wiener was PERFECT! It was an EPIC wiener eating experience. I loved it, I was dreaming about it the whole night, I am now craving it and longing for the next time I can shove one in my mouth. Lucy and Steve tried the Iggy Sliders and I was lucky enough to snag a bite and OMG these sliders were incredible! The greasy wiener is now hands down my favorite food truck! *side note* A huge shot out to the ever so lovely Isabel F. who is kind enough to find the humor in me talking about how her man turned me on to a greasy wiener. Now that's a true friend. q: read more
