    a hot dog vendor
    Malcolm R.

    My first time in their new location, on Anderson Drive right next to the entrance into Pace Plumbing Supply, with plenty of parking, and an adjoining table where you can eat. Do note their hours above. It's still the same, meaning great. I had my usual, the Polish Dawg (beef polish with mustard, sauerkraut, and dill pickle spears). It's definitely the same great dogs and sausages as ever. Update 9/14/22: Got the same great Polish again, but this time I took a photo and added it here. You can't actually see the much of the Polish itself because of all the great condiments - mustard, grilled onions, pickle spears, and more.

    Can't even begin to express my excitement! I am originally from the outskirts of Philadelphia where you can get a hot dog every street block if you wanted. I moved to California 6 years ago and couldn't believe that I couldn't just find a hot dog place. Well needless to say I've been really craving a hot dog the last few weeks and I finally went to search Google and I found these guys! Let me tell you they delivered an amazing hotdog !!! Thank you so very much and I'll be seeing you guys soon!!!

    This hot dog stand is the best place to come when feeding an entire family or one's hangry teenager! It's extremely feasible, and there's something for everyone :) They will also toast, roast and do whatever to your buns LOL! This place will make a killing if they opened on the weekends, especially being so close to a school and Albert Park. The owners are nice people. I only come on Holidays when I'm off and running errands on this side of town, kinda forget it's here. I'm craving a hot link as I type this, gotta go to Naughty Dog. 'Til we MEAT again - see you on Yelp (YELP)!

    The famous Naughty Dawg

    I have been a big fan of The Naughty Dawg for years. I discovered and had my first dawg at the downtown San Rafael Farmers Market on Thursday evenings. Since then I stop by the location near Alberts Park. You can't go wrong with any of the dawgs Randy has to offer. Every time I stop by I leave completely satisfied. I always get my usual, the Old Fashioned, but on my most recent visit I decided to switch it up and order the famous NaughtyDawg and split the Ragin' Cajun. Everything from the snap of the dawgs to the toppings included is perfection. There is also lots of condiments and even MORE toppings you can add that's available where you order. I'm glad this gem is right in my neighborhood. It's located outside under a tent with a table (sits up to 4 comfortably) for customers to enjoy their delicious dawgs. I believe I also saw a bench for additional seating. Some parking spaces are available in a small parking lot close by. That being said since it's not inside a building, the business hours may vary depending on the weather.

    Best place to get a dog in San Rafael - consistent quality and local vibes - exactly what you'd hope for as a hotdog lover. Great staff!

    There is a new dawg in town and it's naughty. It's not just good, it's worth reviewing. Grilled to order, it's how a great tasting dog should be cooked, not stream like they do at Costco. The buns are grilled a bit too and you help yourself with the usual toppings like relish, diced unions, two kinds of mustard and even ketchup which should never be added onto a dog as it smothers the natural flavor instead of enhancing it...just ask Harry Callahan :). You can get ice cold refreshments from the cooler and/or chips hanging near the menu listing various classic skin and skinless dogs and links. Good value from 4 to 5 bucks average or just customize it which should be possible as well for lunch. Yum! Their parking lot fits 2 vehicles sorta like a drive thru but you park it and get out to order. If you are behind the first vehicle that's eat their dogs on site, you will have to back up to leave. It's probably better to just park on the street and do some walking. A small table is available to enjoy the dogs under the shade. No scenery but it's quiet and away from traffic located not far from Sprouts Farmers market. Okay, the stand has been here for awhile but it's new to me and can't resist the phrase :)

Salad was a big portion, came with lettuce, beets, chickpeas, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, quinoa, feta, hummus, the falafel of course and a tahini dressing. Super refreshing. I'd order it again. Everything paired well together. The poke tacos order came with 3. The spicy mayo was a nice touch. Again, would order this again. For our drinks, i ordered a Paloma and my friend got a margarita. Drinks were refreshing. Not that strong but still good. Even though you have to order up front, they have someone coming to clean the tables and he even came while we were still sitting down, which was nice. Staff was friendly and pleasant! Will definitely be coming back to try other things. They have a lot of things to choose from, plenty of drinks (both alcoholic and non), as well as desserts! Can't believe I work so close and am only getting to this spot now. Check them out if you can!

A few folks outside some inside. This made ordering quick and easy, and the food was prepared quickly; a benefit for us, perhaps not for the business. The place is still attractive and clean, with plenty of tables outside and inside. I did not that, as my last visit, there is no shade really provided for the outside seating, save ONE small umbrella. Ugh - not sure what the issue is, and being it was a sunny day, we opted to sit inside as much as the patio called to us. The inside is nice, too, though, and there is easy access to the soda fountain machine and condiments. There are still self-ordering kiosks, large digital menus, and of course, you can also order through the app (even if standing inside!) or at the counter. We ordered a bit of each - side, main, and dessert! There was a portabella "'Shroom" burger (with a crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses, topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun), cheese fries, a mac 'n' cheese, chicken bites, and a Key lime shake, a special offering! Damn the calories, full taste ahead! The food was indeed prepared quickly and served hot. The Shroom burger was my favorite last time, and for taste and texture this time was also delicious and good. The cheeses inside were melty-gooey, and the mushroom crispy. It was, though, much smaller than I remember - it fit within my hand! A con, against the price, for what is a nice option for veggies or anyone wanting a change in their burger. The chicken bites were smaller than expected in size, more like nuggets, but tasty. The mac 'n' cheese was also tasty, but also a bit small for the price. The fries are always good, and in this case, you need to dig to the bottom early on to scrape some of the melted cheese that dripped down back onto the fries. Very yummy. But the best part was the Key lime shake, a flavor I just love (cheesecake is my favorite iteration of this flavor) but this milkshake satisfied me greatly. A little pricier than their everyday shakes, but how often so you find a unique flavor like this! A win! Overall, a solid 4-stars for food flavor and quality, and also for ambience and environment. Price wise, it was about $40 for two of us, so not a great bargain, but given the economy today I have the same financial shock at other places as well. Still, a nice treat and we left happy.

Margaritas ($16), a Manhattan ($16), a Roy Rogers ($5) and a non-spicy margarita ($13) occupied our menu-reading time. I had a very generous prime rib French dip ($30) which I could barely finish. It was very good. A petit burger with added bacon ($16), a salad Lyonnaise ($19), a goat cheese and berry salad ($18) and a side of French fries ($9) rounded out our table.

Mr. Dills always said that the first thing he did when entering a restaurant was use the restroom. If it was a mess he'd leave; the state of the bathroom, he argued, accurately reflected the state of the kitchen. Elmer Dills would have walked out of The Cheesecake Factory. On the evening of my visit, which began on a Friday around 5:40 p.m., I entered the women's restroom to what can only be described as an enormous mess. Trash receptacles were overflowing and each restroom had toilet paper and paper towels strewn all over the floors. If I wasn't meeting a friend here - who'd suggested the place - I'd have left. When I emerged I wanted to alert someone to the state of things. Not only was there nobody manning a host/hostess station, but there was nobody to greet guests or seat guests. When my friend arrived, we made our way into the bar area and as we did, I flagged down a server to tell him of the status of the women's restroom. At our table, we had to again flag down someone to take our order. A different person subsequently became our server and things were smoother from there on. Before leaving though, I again used the women's restroom only to find that it was still an utter mess. The food and drinks that arrived at my table were fine but the service levels and restroom cleanliness here render that observation moot. I recognize that The Cheesecake Factory is no longer in its heyday but based on this visit I'd surmise that they're close to expiration.

The line was considerably long around 7:30 p.m. so it took a while for us to order and receive our food. I like that the tacos here are single tortilla -- as opposed to double tortillas, so the filling to tortilla ratio feels a lot more balanced. For both tacos, the meat is incredibly tender and flavorful. Although a bunch of sauces and garnishes are provided, the taco was good enough on its own. Of the sauces we received, my favorites to add was a squeeze of lime and the red sauce, which had a nice smokey Chipotle flavor and wasn't overly spicy.
