The menu is posted in front of the restaurant. It's quite compact, but as the menu advertises... it's "Dawg Gone Good Food!"
The restaurant's motto is "Dawg Gone Good Food," and the menu lists the choices the restaurant offers.
From the "Fat Dawgs" section of the menu, I ordered two "Regular Dawgs" with "everything" - except ketchup - on them.
I've arrived at Fat Dawg Cafe, located in front of Home Depot on Fairway Drive, in Roseville. Taco time!
From the "Fat Dawgs" section of the menu, I went with a "Jumbo Quarter Pound Dawg," and along for the ride, a "Spicy Cajun Dawg."

Three weeks ago, the same menu was posted for $5.11! Things seemed to have changed...
My "Breakfast Burrito" was cooked and rolled to perfection, and delivered to me, ready to enjoy.
There is a simple, "low tech" charcoal-fired grill, which is used occasionally to grill tri-tip and other fine sandwich choices.

Since it was just after opening time and the grill wasn't lit, Jennifer got some tri-tip from the fridge, and sliced it for my tacos.

Fat Dawg Cafe is located on the sidewalk, in front of one of the Fairway Drive Home Depot, Roseville, CA location, so when you're shopping for all of your home needs, it's easy to grab one of Jennifer's delicious hot dogs... or maybe even a tri tip sandwich a burrito, or a couple of "street tacos." You'll be rewarded with an amazing meal, and a friendly word and a smile from Jennifer, the friendly chef, and owner of this fine restaurant.The restaurant is conveniently located in front of the store, between the entrance and the exit, so you can combine your shopping and your eating in a single trip. It's open from 09:00 in the morning until 05:00 in the afternoon, every day of the week, and every day Home Depot is open.I was in the mood for a light snack of "Street Tacos," and they just happen to be on the menu!Today's "mission" was tacos, and my quest was rewarded with two amazing "Street Tacos," from the "Dawg Gone Good Food" section of the menu, posted on the front of the kitchen.Just like on the streets of Mexico, from where "Street Tacos" derive their name, chef Jennifer grilled small corn tortillas - two per taco - on the propane-fired griddle. As the tortillas were cooking on the griddle, she diced the tri-tip roast, that had been cooked outside the day before, on the charcoal-fired grill. After a couple of minutes heating on the griddle, she sprinkled grated Cheddar cheese onto the tortillas, added the meat, along with fresh, diced cilantro. It was now TACO TIME!!!The corn tortillas were grilled to perfections, stayed together, and added a welcome base to each taco. The "main event" of each taco was the decried, drilled trip tip, and the meat made for the perfect taco filling. Shredded Cheddar cheese, diced cilantro, along with fresh salsa was placed on each taco to complete the goodness.With each bite, I was rewarded with juicy goodness. The "Street Tacos" were small, but they were loaded with goodness, and made for a perfect snack, or for a light lunch. At $4.00 for two of these delicious little tacos... you can't go wrong! I could eat these delicious tacos every day...One bite into my taco, and I was rewarded with the goodness of the perfectly cooked tri-tip, which worked great with the cilantro, shredded Cheddar cheese, and the deliciously toasted corn tortillas. Just like in Mexico, Jennifer's "Street Tacos" provide for great small bites, and for a delicious snack, or a light lunch. Delicious!You'll LOVE Jennifer's delicious hot dogs, street "Street Tacos, sandwiches, burritos... everything on the menu is simply delicious AND you'll be rewarded with Jennifer's amazingly friendly service and awesome culinary skills. You'll love the great meal you enjoy at Fat Dawg Cafe, located in Roseville, CA. No matter what your pleasure, you'll enjoy great dogs and friendly service!

This place is amazing. Lowest prices in town. Love the mochiato and jumbo dog. Their hot dogs are all beef which is important to me. Service is friendly and quick. Love to stop by on my lunch break. It's a good location and not busy.

Excellent and kind service, very affordable lunch. Would like to give the woman working at this stand yesterday credit for being so kind and generous. People like her make me kinder to the next person in need. Excellent jumbo dog and the bun is so good and just the right amount of chew. I appreciate that the jumbo dog did not give me indigestion (unlike Costco dogs... I know, blasphemy for speaking against the Costco dog)

4, on a mean scale, for a hot dog cart. Quick service, polish dog was pretty hot (though it could have been hotter), friendly staff and good prices. They have quite a full menu, which you should expect from a food location in front of a Home Depot. Tri Tip sandwiches, breakfast burritos, etc.

Worst tri-tip sandwich ive ever had. A Hot dog bun was used for the sandwich. So naturally tri-tip was falling out of bun. Messy. Bbq sauce didn't taste like bbq sauce at all. Really small sandwhich. Would not recommend.

GREAT place. First time here, I love a great hot dog. I ordered the Polish, good size, perfectly cooked, nice little spice/bite to it but definitely not too much. The bun was so fresh & soft, maybe the best hot dog bun I've ever had. Super reasonable price, even more so with how expensive everything is thanks to Bidenomics. Added a combo - small soda @ small bag of chips. Delicious quick light meal or snack. I'd give the dog/bun, preparation, taste a solid 4.5 stars. Add in the GREAT, friendly, fast service by Jennifer, Fat Dawg gets a rare 5 star rating from me. I suspect I will be back here often, what a gem!!!
