About Doggie Diner 

The famous restaurant chain, Doggie Diner, was started in 1948 in Oakland, California. The founder Al Ross was dedicated to use only the best quality ingredients. Their delicious, fresh food soon became a huge hit and the slogan, nothing finer then Doggie Diner was born.

As time passed, additional locations opened until there were 22 Doggie Diners. Most locations were open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Day and night, Doggie Diner was always open to provide a tasty meal or treat on the run.

Decade after decade Doggie Diner served families, businessman and Hollywood stars alike. Everyone knew where to find a good chili cheese hot dog, Western hamburger, or hot pastrami sandwich.

Many years have passed since the last Doggie Diner hot dog was enjoyed. But fond memories of Doggie Diner visits still resonate throughout the Bay Area.

In 2006 San Francisco’s last Doggie Diner mascot sign was declared an official “historical landmark.” In 2015, The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “the Doggie Diner is one of the five restaurants we wish still existed.”

We hear you Bay Area! Doggie Diner is being recreated so your family and friends can enjoy those delicious hot dogs again and again.
