I am a total sucker for Hot Dog on a Stick--if there's one around, I'm getting it. Honestly, this wasn't the best Hot Dog on a Stick I've had--it actually tastes better at the mall locations. Wow, have the prices increased... absolutely crazy expensive for what it is! Plus, I definitely prefer the self-serve pump dispensers for ketchup and mustard over having to mess around with individual packets. Other than being able to say you ate at the very first spot, it is overly priced. Customer service was just okay. It was staffed by young teenagers who didn't really use basic common courtesy like saying "hello" or "thank you." This standalone walk-up stand right on the boardwalk near the Santa Monica Pier is actually the original Hot Dog on a Stick location. It's strictly to-go orders with bench seating along the beach boardwalk. So much nostalgia here, but it just wasn't as good as I remembered from years past. I will not be back to this location.

My friends and I stopped by for boba and their potato hot dogs stuffed with mozzarella cheese, and…read moreeverything was delicious. The hot dogs were coated with a light layer of sugar, giving them a crunchy exterior while staying soft and moist inside. The melted mozzarella cheese made them even better. The smoothie drinks tasted fresh, and I was told they use fresh fruits in their beverages. Customer service was excellent--the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The only downside was the parking situation. Valet parking is required, and you have to pay, which can be a bit inconvenient. Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely come back.

I got the mixed cheese/hot dog which was fresh and satisfying to eat. I do wish that the cheese and hot dog could be eaten at the same time rather than the top half being cheese and bottom half being hot dog but I believe thats how all korean hot dogs are made. I got it with sugar on top because I love a sweet and salty combo but it had a bit too much sugar, even for me. I'd ask to go light sugar. Also had a strawberry yogurt smoothie which was delicious, definitely the highlight. However, I was charged for a large smoothie which I didn't ask for which was a bit frustrating.

The guy who was taking our order was so sweet and recommended some items since it was our first time there! A huge family came in to order right after us so if this many people were coming in to this location, you know it's bomb. Regardless of the huge amount of people he had to attend, he still treated us with full attentiveness and repeatedly checked up on us and ofc he did the same with the others !

They don't even cook their hot dogs all the way through, and when I bit into the Elote dog it was cold. The corn wasn't street style, it tasted like it came out of a can. I'm surprised this place is still in business, honestly. They claim it's an all beef hot dog, but it tasted more like mystery meat. Everything about it screams store bought. The buns were totally Kroger or Costco hot dog buns, nothing special. Save your money and go to Costco or Ralph's and buy the ingredients on your own. You can make a way better hot dog at home for a fraction of the price. Oh, but the tater tots were reasonable. They must have heated these up from a frozen store bought bag.
