Pampered Pup

Pampered Pup is an Alameda classic.If you're looking for a casual and nostalgic meal, Pampered Pup is the place to go. This place is by no means fancy. They focus on the basics and they get it right. You can build your own hot dog or order one of the combos off the menu. Drinks and chips also available. Ingredients you can put on your hot dog include jalapeños, relish, pickles, tomatoes, cheese, chili, onions, etc.I know there are a lot of east bay folks that like Casper's. I personally like Pampered Pup way more.

Showed up a little too early for my screening of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare at the Alameda Theater, so walked over for a dog and a coke here. There were a couple of seats at a table and at a side counter, along with seats outside which would have been just fine since it was a sunny day. Got the coney dog even though I'm not the biggest fan of chili,but it was really good, and a cheap meal compared to what we would end up paying at the theater. This is not a gourmet dog and it doesn't have to be. It's a cheap, delicious meal for when you're on the run or when you need somewhere to hang out whilst waiting for your movie. Right on, Pampered Pup!

The "Pampered Pup" is a classic hotdog restaurant that has been serving Alameda since 1967. Located on the corner of Park St & Central Ave, this small hotdog joint serves up tasty dogs with speedy friendly service. I was there on a very warm Sunday afternoon around 3pm. I went in and looked over the menu. I tend to order traditional classic dogs, but I like to try something new. So you order the type of hotdog you want, and then the kind of toppings. Or you ask for a Signature Pup, and just pick the type of hotdog. The choices are All Beef, Polish Sausage, Hot Link, Veggie, and Turkey. I got:- Kraut Dog, Polish Sausage (My favorite)- Chicago Dog, All Beef- PupZilla, All BeefAll the hotdogs were juicy and delicious. I was told the PupZilla is a unique recipe of this location. It's a different taste for a hotdog. It has a deep flavor, not spicy, with a sweet finish. Also available are chips, sodas, and lemonade.Limited indoor seating, and some outdoor tables on the sidewalk. This small hotdog place is ideal for a quick meal. If you want coffee, there's Starbucks and a Peet's Coffee right across the street. The Pampered Pup is near the Alameda Theatre, and public parking. It's also near the Kaiser Medical Offices. Located in Alameda's Park Street Business District.Support Local Business!

If you're ever craving a hot dog, give this place a try! Highly recommend, they have so many different kind of dogs to choose from, they even have a turkey option and vegan, too! I also love their selection of chips because you HAVE to have chips with a hot dog. The best part is you don't have to wait too long to get your dog. Very fast and efficient! Now stop reading this and go check it out!

MUST TRYCute little corner hotdog shop I stumbled upon and let me tell you about the polish dog, it's better than the ones Costco had, and that should say enough! The regulars are recognized and the gentleman working was kind to everyone. I'm coming back to try more! Place is small inside so get it to-go if you're a big group.

Dogs were decent. Service was okay, I love that they have a variety of different hot dogs. Will go back and try again

Decent hot dog. Reasonable price. Hits the spot but nothing spectacular to write home about.

Whenever I have an appointment at Kaiser Alameda, which is very rare, I only go there to have my blood pressure checked, because they put you in a dark room and show beautiful, calming videos while checking it, I make sure to get a, Deluxe Dog, and a Chicago Dog! So delicious!

Awesome little place! Came here on a. Friday evening about 45 min prior to closing up and the guy was still happy to make my friend and I a hotdog. My hotdog came with coleslaw and another sauce that was really good - just how I like it, messy and tasty. I would've gotten the nacho cheese dog but they were all out of nacho cheese but what I got was a great mix between sweet and saucy. Loved it.

Used to go to this place a few years ago, but when I went back again the guy at the front was very rude and impatient. And even after all of that the hot dog wasn't even worth the hassle or as good as it used to be. Very disappointing.
