Hotdoggers @ Manhattan Beach, CA

This place opened a few months ago.  The signage is somewhat confusing as it refers to Rad BBQ but it is in fact a hot dog place similar to Pinks.  Atmosphere is nice, they spent some money on the decor and there is parking which is nice.  It is located across from the Manhattan Beach Target.  The location has been somewhat doomed with a revolving door of restaurants trying to make it a go before closing and unfortunately, I think Hotdoggers will be next.  The building footprint seems large but the dining area seems small, leading me to think the kitchen is too large.  Price points aren't too high so they will need to make it on volume and while they are trying to get a liquor license, my check was just $11 so that's a lot of dogs. 

I had the plain sauerkraut dog with onion rings.  It was okay, not the memorable.  In fact, the onion rings seemed to have too much flour or cornstarch and so were a bit gummy to eat.  I did not get their more unique dog offerings so maybe those would have been better.  The place is fine, just doesn't stand out.

All in all, if you like hot dogs, go now as not sure this place will make it.
