Not from the area, but I was catering to a business down the street and my lunch time was creeping up. Went on Yelp to see food places around the area and Rocky's Hot Dog Stand was an option that popped up. Can't ever go wrong with a quick grab and go. Simple stand with a lot of different options! This is not like your Average stadium hotdogs that's small and overpriced. This is a bang for your buck. Gurthy 12" hotdog, bag of chip and a can of soda for $7! And he accepts card which is a plus!! Really recommend stopping by if you're in need of a quick grab and go or if you just want to grab a dog.

I work near by and couple times I just wanted a hot dog and saw that there is one near by. I drove around and could not find any parking. Maybe next time I will have to walk there to see. I was finally able to come and order a hot link hot dog. What is special about this hot do stand. It is a regular hotdog stand, but the owner puts the toppings for you and wraps the hotdog and puts it into a plastic bag so less contamination from the customers and any body passing by contaminating the toppings. That to me makes me want to come back. Never know who will contaminate the toppings that just sits beyond the view and reach of the vendor.

I’d love to keep this a secret, but fair is fair. Best hot dog stand anywhere. Great polish dogs. BUT, the tamales!! Order a home made tamale with everything. Amazing.

A good snack stand with a variety of hot dogs, snacks, and drinks.

Just simple stand with both regular and polish dog selection. Make it a combo and get chip and a drink. He offers other snacks and candy along with some fruit cups. Good weather day to enjoy on the bay front

Simply the best tasting hot dog and Tamales in Oakland

I was casually browsing my Yelp app recently to find things in my Jack London Square neighborhood that I'd overlooked and was surprised to see a hot dog stand here at the Oakland ferry terminal. Before the coronacrisis struck, I took the ferry back and forth to the West Bay every day, but evidently I've missed out on Rocky's because it's only open during midday hours on weekdays, precisely when I've generally not been around. So, on a recent midday, I found the time to stop by. The setup here at Rocky's is pretty humble: a cart where the hot dogs are grilled and a table for condiments and snacks. The $6 combo is a good deal: a sausage, bag of chips, and can of soda. The Polish that I got was regular hot dog-sized in girth and almost a foot long in length. I suppose there ought to be a naughty joke in there, but unfortunately it wasn't the kind that's stuffed full of oozing cheese. It's definitely not gourmet cuisine, but still a nice, quick, inexpensive bite. Rounding a 3.5 star review up to 4 stars in the hope that a bona fide small business like this survives the severe drop in foot traffic in the area due to the coronacrisis. Thanks Yelpers for clueing me in to more of my own backyard!

Five stars based on it's a hot dog stand. Outstanding hot dog. Fresh bun. Perfect variety and balance of toppings. Real toppings. No fake anything. Out of tamales. The guy in front of me got the last one with everything. Looked great. We got the hot link, chips and soda and the chili dog, chips and soda. $10!!

Wouldn’t even give one star, dogs are over cooked, bread is stall. I gave it to the pigeons they were even turning there heads sideways... the guy is very rude definitely wouldn’t recommend this place
