Taylor Bros. Hot Dogs - Watsonville, CA

Can anyone tell me about Tayor Bros. Hot Dogs in Watsonville, CA? They also have a location in Visalia, CA that I've read good things about.

Thanks.

A manufacturer of hot dogs or a stand selling hot dogs?

I posted this evening, on another thread (see 'America's Best Hot Dogs') about a hot dog stand in Watsonville that I go to.

It's a stand selling hot dogs. May be the same one you go to as I'm unaware of any other hot dog place in Watsonville.

The one I go to (don't know the name-probably Taylor's) is downtown right behind (east of) the city park. They have very good hot dogs. I always stop there when I'm in Watsonville. It's a dashboard diner. Window takeout only.

Make me drool: how much are the dogs? There are stands all over SF selling $3.50 hot dogs, but I won't pay that much and it makes me crazy.

I called Taylor Bros. and they are open 10am to Midnight. Closed Sundays. I'll try to make it down there this week and post a reveiw. Hope I'll like it as I haven't found any other decent dog joints here in Santa Cruz County.

Don't remember precisely, but I'm certain you could get several (maybe 3) for $3.50.

I got down to Taylor Bros. last Saturday. It's small building with a cool neon "Hot Dogs" sign on the roof. You order at a window. There is no seating except for a couple of benches. It's been open since 1954.

The menu has the "Hormel" logo on it. They sell hot dogs, chips, and drinks. Hot dogs are $1.00. Chips are 40 cents. Coffee is 25 cents. Sadly, their soft drinks are all Pepsi products and they don't sell root beer.

The hot dogs didn't seem any different than the kind you can buy in a supermarket. Not bad, but nothing exceptional. As toppings, they offer mustard, relish, onion, and chilli. The chilli was mildly spicy and did not overwhelm the flavor of the hot dog.

Unless you are really into visiting old hot dog stands, Tayor Bros. is not worth a special trip to Watsonville. But, if you do find yourself in Watsonville and are in the mood for an inexpensive chilli dog, it's not a bad way to go.

By the way, has anyone been to both the Watsonville and Visalia locations? How do they compare?

what would you like to know? I work at one
