Hot Dog On A Stick

I am ashamed of myself that my son and I ate here. I almost chose not to write a review. However, I realize as a Unilocal Elite it is my due diligence.
We were at Fashion Valley Mall on Saturday afternoon. As we walked by my son says, Mom I want a hot dog. I said, okay. The space inside is small. There is no sitting area inside. But, you do have a few choices sitting outside in the courtyard next to all the other «junkie» mall food choices. There were no lines. As I look at the menu I notice the ridiculous prices…$ 3.35 for a hot dog? Really? (Costco offers a huge hot dog with drink for $ 1.50. And you don’t need the membership to eat.) Hot Dog on a stick is mainly corn dogs. They only have one option for the hot dog. We also ordered the lemonade. It was super sweet. Wow! Too sweet. Not necessary at all. All together my order cost me over $ 6. That’s crazy!
We did not wait long for the order. As my order number was called, I saw what you are seeing in my picture. The hot dog is shriveled up. Ugh. In my mind, I thought I should just throw it out or better yet walk back to the counter and complain. And, while all my woman’s intuition wanted to do that. There was also a line of people that just formed. Really that good!!!
I am ashamed as a woman and as a Mother that I gave in to my childs wants and fed him something absolutely awful. Thankfully my son eats healthy the other 6 days of the week.
Obviously people have choices, and they can place anything they want in their mouth to eat. As for myself, I will never eat here again.
I give Hot Dog On A Stick 1 star because the food is horrendous. The customer service was not existent. The two young women working the counter looked overworked and tired. There was nothing pleasant from them. It’s like they were robots.

This place gets 5 stars because even though I was just in to get a lemonade I got excellent service by a young female employee. I went in a few weeks ago and there were only two young ladies working and the one who helped me greeted me with a beautiful smile and was very friendly and quick with my lemonade. She gave me great customer service and I wish I remembered her name to acknowledge her on here.

Employees were nice. Mediocre lemonade for such a crazy price. But it’s the mall, what did I expect. Next time I’m in the mood for lemonade I’m buying my own lemons, sugar and water!

Good food and the best lemonade! Prices seem a little steep, though.

Stopped by for a lemonade on the way to the Apple store. I usually get the normal one, but went for the lite version since I had no one to share it with. Didn’t miss the sugar, didn’t notice any Splenda-​y taste. I’m a Lite Lemonade believer.
Although it is a chain, HDOAS has the cheese on a stick market cornered. They are a very rare treat for me, but it can’t be beat. I’ve tried the veggie dog on a stick, and the cheese on a stick is way better. Fries are good too.

Their lemonades are soooo good.
Whenever I come to the mall, I always stop by here to grab a lemonade.
It’s refreshing whether it’s cold or hot outside.
We also had corn dog or hot dog on a stick as they call it.
Their corn batter makes this corn dog exceptionally good.
I realized why they call it corn dog… it’s cuz they have corn batter… anyone else knew that??? If anyone else knew and I am the slow one… I apologize.
We had the funnel cake… it was really good. It’s fried right in front of your eyes and sprinkled with powdered sugar… it’s like you could have fair favorite whenever you want. I think it might even be better than the ones at the fair.

I had to only rate this 4 stars since it’s located in the mall and so prices are always more in those places.
Your best deal would be the kids meal.
I like their veggie hot dog on a stick served with fries and lemonade and it’s $ 5.35 for the kids meal so it’s not bad since you’re already there and crave that food.

The Kids Meal is the best deal. For $ 5.35 you get a hot dog on a stick, kids fries and a kids lemonade.

Convenient and tasty. Great people watching area near the window too!

Okay, this place stinks. For some reasons.
1) The sample lemonade was REALLY FREEZING and it makes your teeth a different color.
2) They got our order COMPLETELY wrong.
3) WHAT ARE THEY DRESSED LIKE!!! If they are clowns, they are right. They really are clowns.
Boy, instead of two stars, it should be NEGATIVE two stars. I can’t imagine a five star review! I guarantee that I will NEVER EVER EVER come back!!!

I love their cheese on a stick, fries, and lemonade!
Get any 3 items for $ 8.55. But, is it really worth this much? Once in awhile i guess.
Funnel cake sticks are ok, not the best.
I will give them 5 stars once they lower their prices by 50%!

Ever eat a butthole and some scrotum? If you eat at this place then raise your hand because their hotdogs are made from butthole, scrotum, and all other parts of the animal that get ground together and cased, followed by a deep-​fat frying process. No wonder so many Americans are fat as hell and die form stroke and heart attacks.
They have veggie dogs, which is awesome, but it is still deep-​fat friend… ugh…
Their lemonade, however, is very tasty (and not fried), and the customer service was pretty good, so this is why I give a 3-​star review.
They have regular lemonade, sugar-​free made with splenda, cherry lemonade, and limeade. I always get the sugar-​free one when I feel parched from having to navigate the hoards of people at Fashion Valley. The sugar-​free lemonade tasted fresh, had a nice tart/​sweet ratio, and is low calorie. Woo hoo!!!
I asked the nice fellow working there if I could sample the other lemonades, and he let me. He gave me some tiny little cups of the samples, and i jokingly told him it was like wine-​tasting for white trash. He laughed and joked right back.
The other lemonades were all very good too, but I just can’t do the sugar, boo.
So even if they serve deep fried butthole here, don’t run away in total disgust because the lemonade is delicious and is served up by nice people.

Hot dog on a stick and lemonade. Great for a quick snack while shopping, unless you get sucky service like i did… twice! Went there twice in the past 3 weeks and ordered a hot dog on a stick and a lemonade. Shouldnt take long, right? Wrong. The customerS after me (one who ordered 4 hot dogs on a stick, a cheese stick and fries, the other who ordered 2 hot dogs on a stick) received their order before I did! BOTH times the reasoning was «because yours exploded» (the batter got fried all funky). Really?!! That one was mine?! Could’ve made mine one of the 4 you just handed to the guy who ordered AFTER me and made him wait for a new one to replace the one that «exploded»!!!

I love the veggie corndogs from Hot Dog on a Stick! Please don’t ever discontinue these little guys.
Right now (until Thanksgiving) they are also having $ 1 Tuesdays that is good on all of their hot dogs/​cheese sticks. Fantastic!
Minus one star because their prices really are just too high.

Its Hot Dog on a Stick… can’t go wrong with that! I was wandering around the mall and needed something refreshing so I stopped for a lemonade. I haven’t been to a Hot Dog on a Stick in a while and forgot about all the different flavor lemonades and how good they are. I ordered a lime-​aide and after my first sip wish I ordered the larger size. It wasn’t too sweet and you could actually taste the lime flavor in the lemonade.
The following day I was at the same mall and was craving another lime-​aide and to my surprise saw a sign advertising $ 1 corn dog Tuesdays! YAY! The corn dog and lime-​aide were fabulous and satisfied my craving. The service was good and corn dog served hot! (Like I said, I haven’t been to a Hot Dog on a Stick in a while– I hope this doesn’t turn into a snack addiction. Lemonade can’t be kind of expensive for the size.)

$ 1 corn dog on Tuesday. A great snack to get at the mall, while your shopping. The original lemonade is a thirst trencher!

LOVEEEE the lemonade.
The corn dogs go quite well with them. It should be a crime that any other places try’s to sell corn dogs, like literally lock up the establishment. HDOS will always have the best corn dogs and lemonade. I usually walk out w/​a gallon on lemonade, hey you gotta drink to live right.
The outfits are a bit much, but I guess you know what your getting into when you apply for the position. The staff was cool, they even gave out samples of the different flavors of lemonade.
Fan for life right here

American Cheese Stick, fries and a large lemonade PLEASE!
Yes, if I worked here, I would want to KILL myself, but this is my guilty pleasure meal.
When I worked in the MVM, the girls would give me discounts which is very nice, and the ones at FV are crazy as hell.

How can you not like hot dog on a stick?
Rediculous bad outfits? Check.
Grease covered lard in a buttery crisp coating? Check.
Lemonade? Hella check.
Don’t ask me why, but… I love this place more than bacon-​wrapped-​sausage-​wrapped-​bacon.

Yep, I had the great joy of visiting Hell, I mean Fashion Valley today. After packing my body armour, I mean you can’t be too safe in this day and age of Retail Violence, I headed out.
My problem was this. Having been out of town for the Holiday and needing a gift, I figured to myself why not brave the Mall. With the economy in tatters, who the fuck is going to be spending money at the mall anyways. Watch the news for 5 minutes and one would be bound to believe that shortly we are all going to be living in shanty towns.
Well I was wrong, I mean I was so fucking wrong. After navigating through the throngs of ‘Security/​Parking Ambassadors,’ I manage to cut somebody off and get a parking space. Yesssss!
That leads me to a question– who are these people who wait outside ‘The Cheesecake Factory,’ holding there position in line, dying to get inside and eat the below par food? Well, that’s for another review.
So anyways, I proceed through the masses that are searching for a deal and just about five minutes into it, I realize I can’t take it anymore. I am going to grab a bite to eat and get the F out of here.
Well, you may say to yourself, why not just leave and eat elsewhere? I will tell you why– Hot Dog on a Stick! I am thinking 2 corn dogs, a lemonade and things will start looking up… and they did. I made my order and sat back to wait for my food when all of a sudden I came to another question ’ Who runs HR for these people?’ «How on Earth do you get a teenager to wear a tri-​colored Shriner’s Hat?» «Not only do they serve lemonade that is freshly squished, the poor kid working the counter has to bounce up and down smashing the lemons the extract the juice. Seriously, I think I’d rather apply for a job at McDonald’s.
But the moral of the story is this– don’t go to the shopping mall unless you absolutely have to go. But if you do find yourself in the predicament where you must go, bypass ‘The Cheesecake Factory’ and grab yourself some good ‘olé carny food over at ‘The Hot Dog on a Stick!’ The food is good for what it is and you won’t look like a moron waiting in line to eat at the aforementioned ‘restaurant.’
