Reviews for Tail o' the Pup

Classic, his place and delicious hotdogs, and I don’t typically go in for hotdogs my son, and I ended up eating two each!

I’m so happy there’s a local spot that does delicious Chicago dogs! All beef, poppy seeds, sport peppers, it’s done right. I love tail of the pup!

I love this hot dog restaurant in Hollywood when Tail O' the Pup first opened 80 years in 1946. It's like a fast food restaurant where burgers, hot dogs, corn dogs, and other American meals are served at. It's very interesting that Tail O' the Pup has many music, movies, and television stars who passed by shooting films. Movies like Ruthless People (1986) and L.A. Story (1991) were filmed here. Now that my parents and I have been here for the first time, we can create new memories that will last forever and I love every moment it. I'm so happy for this hot dog place, it was so good!

Excellent all round. Great prices - excellent classic hotdogs. Don't miss the funnel cake fries with dulce de leche. And the happy hour (6pm - 9pm) for $5 house lager pints.

Tail O’ The Pup delivers more than just hot dogs it delivers a full-on nostalgic experience wrapped in delicious, well-crafted classics. The Chicago is must-try . It’s a fun spot whether you're craving a quick solo bite or bringing friends for a casual, flavorful outing. Jocelyn was great and super helpful!!

First time here. My friend and I stopped for lunch while we were in the area, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the corn dog combo with fries and a drink and she got the 1946 Pup combo. The fries were deliciously crispy and not overly salty. My corn dog was perfectly crunchy on the outside with a nice soft/sweet cornbread coating surrounding a perfectly plump hot dog. The decor is super cute, and our food came in the most adorable little trays in the shape of a dachshund. Fun fact we learned, The Doors recorded the lyrics for the song LA Woman...how cool is that?!?! They also have some cute merchandise for sale...so I had to get t-shirt. ☺️

If you love genuine vintage LA culture and perfect hot dogs and burgers, this is your place. The fact Jim Morrison sang in the bathroom is just an extra. And don't let the hot dog fool you, they also have the best burgers around, thanks to that crispy cheese.

A solid chili dog. From the snap of the dog, to the subtle sting of the chili (or was the pup a red hot?), not to mention the cute tray the pup comes in and the curbside Tail O' the Dog stand is worth the stop. Tail O' the Pup is Kitschy, no doubt. From the street side stand shaped like hot dog in a bun, to the Disney-esque stack of pickle, buns, ketchup, and mustard crates. Apparently stands like this that were as much road side attraction as place to get a meal were popular in earlier days of Los Angeles when California's car culture was developing, a way to draw in clientele. Currently located on Santa Monica Blvd. near the intersection with La Cienega and just up La Cienega from where it originally opened in 1946. There were two bike parking spots next to the stand.

Such a great place with so much history! Hands down the best hot dogs we have ever had! Loved the adorable puppy hot dog trays. Service was good. Everyone was very nice. A bit pricey for hot dogs and fries, but happy to pay it for a small, historic, business.

It's a hotdog joint. Go big or go basic and as long as you like hotdogs, you'll love this place.

The best corn dog I’ve ever had hands down. The batter consistency was perfect and cooked until Golden brown and crunchy. The onion rings were delicious as well. Dog friendly establishment the pups joined us for dinner.

Tail o' the Pup is a classic hot dog stand that has been around the Los Angeles scene since 1946. As well as with Pinks, it is one of the longest lived hot dog stands in this neck of the woods. The original stand survives to this day and was in the Beverly center before moving it to WeHo on Santa Monica Blvd. They offer a variety of food, which is normal fare for the Hot dig stand variety. Burgers, French fries, milkshakes, and the like. Obviously, their specialty are the dogs in which the name of the establishment proudly has in its moniker. The dogs have a nice snap to them, and are cooked well throughout. You have a variety of different versions available to you such as Chicago, chili, ballpark, dogs famous through their respective years. The choices are endless. It's historical. It's a nice nook to escape from the Los Angeles insanity. It's a time capsule of delicious proportions. Come on down and let the Dogs convince you on their own.
