About Us

Welcome to Happy Dogs Van Nuys—our classic walk-up stand right on Van Nuys Boulevard, across from the courthouse. We’ve been part of the neighborhood for years, serving up not just hot dogs, but a variety of tasty eats that keep folks coming back for more.

 

We’re proud to have been featured by Huell Howser, who named us one of the 10 best hot dog stands in the country. And we’re even prouder to be recognized by the City of Los Angeles as a historic spot, thanks to our original 1960s walk-up design.

 

What makes Happy Dogs special? It’s the flavorful food, the friendly service, the fair prices, and the easygoing patio where you can kick back and enjoy a bite. Whether you're craving a classic dog or something else from the grill, we’ve got something you’ll love.

 

Come by, grab a seat, and taste what makes us a Van Nuys favorite!
