Buns and Beaches: Savor Laguna with Yummy Dogs' Top Dogs

At the top of Laguna’s Forest Avenue lies a culinary gem that's as inventive as it is inviting. Yummy Dogs isn't just another downtown restaurant — it's a celebration of fun (check out their arcade!), served up in the most universally loved American fare: the hot dog.

With a twist on traditional toppings and a nod to Laguna’s eclectic character, each dog on their menu is a curated experience… which we thought would be fun to pair with some quintessential Laguna activities.

Because why not? Yummy Dogs is all about thinking outside the box.

From the simplicity of a "Plain Dog" that echoes the unadorned beauty of the ocean, to the complex layers of the "Reuben," perfect for an evening of theater, Yummy Dogs crafts a taste of Laguna Beach that is both unique and unusual. 

Let's dive into the menu and explore how these seven standout dogs pair perfectly with your next Laguna adventure.

A Day at the Shore with the "Laguna"

Nothing complements a sunny day at Main Beach like the "Laguna" dog. Topped with fresh avocado, juicy tomato, crunchy bacon bits, and a smooth white sauce, it's a bite of the local vibe in every bite.

Surf's Up with the "Plain Dog"

Before hitting the waves at Brooks, fuel up with the simplicity of the "Plain Dog." Just a classic bun and a hot dog, it’s the perfect base to keep you going until the last wave.

Art Walks with the "LA Chili"

Strolling through the art festivals? The "LA Chili" dog, with its robust cheese sauce, hearty chili, bacon bits, and diced onions, mirrors the vibrant art scene.

Hiking with the "Mac & Cheese Dog"

Conquer the trails of the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park with the "Mac & Cheese Dog." Packed with mac & cheese and sprinkled with bacon bits, it's comfort food that powers your trek.

Skim with the "Chicago"

Gallery Gazing with the "New York"

The "New York" dog, with its classic sauerkraut and brown mustard, is the cultured choice for an afternoon admiring local artwork at the Laguna Art Museum.

Evening at the Playhouse with the "Reuben"
