Ordered two vegetarian dogs from here with cheese and relish. They came with loads of cheese and a full length pickle slice each, but no actual vegetarian "dog"! I guess the "vegetarian" is meant for the condiments that you order, and there is no actual vegetarian "hot dog". Oh well, I laughed at myself for assuming otherwise. A bun with cheese and a dill pickle slice was not what I expected when I ordered the "vegetarian". Joke's on me.I will try them again if they actually get vegetarian hot dogs. The shoe string fries were delicious, however!

If you haven't tried Parker's Hot Dog of Santa Cruz yet, then honestly, I don't know what you're doing with your life! Forget any hot dog you've ever had before because this place redefines what a hot dog experience should be.

It's fun, welcoming, and has just the right touch of charm that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon a hidden gem. The service was fantastic--super friendly, attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about making sure every customer leaves happy and full.Now, let's talk about the food--WOW. Our food was piping hot and so fresh that you could tell they take pride in every detail. The buns were perfectly soft, the toppings were vibrant and fresh, and the hot dogs themselves? Absolute perfection. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to absolute hot dog heaven. They definitely know what they're doing, and they're doing it better than anyone else.It's clear that Parker's isn't just about serving food; it's about delivering an experience that stays with you. These are hands-down the best hot dogs I've ever had in my life.

Drop what you're doing, grab your friends or family, and head straight to Parker's Hot Dog of Santa Cruz. Trust me, you won't regret it. This is the place to be for hot dog lovers and foodies alike. Parker's isn't just a restaurant; it's a destination. I can't wait to come back!

My husband and I frequent here for lunch and always enjoy! Staff is always friendly, and the food comes out quickly. My favorite is the western dog!They're always packed for lunch but provide as much seating as possible outside so we always find a table regardless. Keep in mind no public restroom but not the end of the world since it's such a small spot.

This tiny lil classic style mom and pop hot dog place is fantastic! Not too many tables inside and a few outside for when the weather is warmer. Parking is plentiful! There can be a bit of a line during peak lunchtime hours, but when cravings for chili cheese dogs hits, there's no better satisfaction then Parker's!! Don't be deceived by the name, the small chili cheese dog is definitely not small! One of my favorites for sure!!

My friend took me here, saying he used to come here when he was working at Albertsons' Nextdoor decades ago now it's Auto zone. The place was busy. I'm ordered a combo meal with chili cheese hot link. I'm not a hotdog person and haven't had many, so not sure what is considered good but I ordered a small dog but it was huge and I thought it was good. I liked the soft bun and chili was a bit different from what I expected, it was more like Mexican refried beans...

I've been here multiple times when I'm on this side of town. The place is very simple with limited indoor / outdoor seating and courteous service. The hot dogs are no frills but are very savory and filling. I got 2 kraut dogs with chili and my hot dog craving was thoroughly satisfied. I will be back for sure.

If you're craving a taste of Chicago, Parker's Hotdogs of Santa Cruz is the place to be! Their super tasty hotdogs transported us right back to the Windy City. The housemade chili was perfect, with two ladles being just the right amount for my chili dog. My wife had a Chicago dog and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is cozy with great country music playing in the background, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The service was impeccable, making us feel right at home. Parker's Hotdogs is now our number one spot for hotdogs in this part of town, and we will definitely be back.

Every now and then I crave a hotdog! Parkers is the place to go to satisfy this craving! I used to love the wiener works up in Auburn, but they have closed so this is the only spot in town to find a good snappy hotdog covered with hot sauerkraut! Costco doesn't work for me. This is the spot. I order myself a hotdog with light mustard and sauerkraut and an order of fries and I am one happy camper. Great service here good price my favorite hotdog in town.

This is our most favorite hot dog place that my husband and I have been going since the early 90s. I always enjoy the biggest chili dog with lots of chili beans. Staff are always very friendly and caring whenever I spoke of our good old days. There is no other place that I would go for hot dog but Parker's Hot Dog.

Chili cheese dogs...what's to hate here?Service: Fast & easy! Love the options of having a handheld or a plate for the chili dogs.Ambiance 5/5: Low key & family-friendly spot with indoor & outdoor seating.Food 5/5:I got a handheld and I think I'll get a small plate with the chili on the side next time. You have the option to have cheese/onions on the dogs. I prefer not to have a soggy bun so I went with the spooned on version. Really tasty & live the snap on the dog.5/5 Chili cheese dog.4/5 Onion rings.5/5 Chips(not pictured).Will be back!
