Hot Dawgs - Santa Cruz

This eatery is at the far end of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the kiddie rides are. With a colorful and inviting storefront, the snack bar serves beef hot dogs (Hebrew National), corn dog bites (Nathan's), chicken tenders, gourmet pretzels, and several variations of fries. Unfortunately, they ran out of hot dogs by 8pm on a Friday night, an hour before closing time. We actually got the last one, but were unable to order more. It didn't look like much, but it was pretty good, not cheap tasting despite the brand name. The corn dog bites weren't bad either. But a hot dog stand that runs out of hot dogs doesn't really leave a good impression.

Bad food and worst service. Avoid there are better places close by. Ruined my day just avoid the headache.

Extremely bad service here avoid at all costs owner physically assaults people and is a racist. It’s a deplorable place with awful owners run run run

Fast, cheap, clean grills. Less than Barnacle Bill's, the other hot dog place (which I also love).

Terrible food, but slightly cheaper than the other options inside the park.
