My buddy has raved about this place! We finally got to stop on a Saturday night right before closing. The owner herself was front and center, she was super friendly, personable and obviously cared about the people visiting her establishment….genuinely.
*We got a cheese dog not so gently stuffed with cheese, fresh slice tomatoes and onions, relish and mustard. I HATE HOT DOGS, but this was delicious!!!
*Chicken tamale, was the last one of the day. They douse it in fresh onions, tomatoes and I assume homemade red sauce that I also generally dislike. THIS WAS THE BEST RED SAUCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!
*Orange Fizz is a MUST TRY FOR SURE!! I tried to get my guy to go back in and get a LARGE, beacuse they are closed on Sundays, but he refused because, they closed at 7.
GO AND TRY 1 OF EVERYTHING THING!
SUPER DELICIOUS AND WHAT A GREAT STORY IF YOU READ UP ONLINE ABOUT THE HISTORY. THANK YOU KAREMN’S WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT VISIT!!!

This is a great place! Long before it became Karmen’s, it has been the East Bay classic Kasper’s hot dogs. Carmen and her mother ran Kasper’s for years and when Kasper’s decided to close down they bought the business and renamed it Karmen’s. They’ve kept things the same, same great hot dogs, super friendly service where they treat everybody like family. It’s a really great hot dog has that snap when you bite into. There are plenty of fresh toppings. Lots of choices of hot dogs. And they even make fresh tamales everyday. Not only is it the best hot dog in the Bay area, it’s the kind of place that you feel good supporting. Great food with great owners who appreciate their community. Highly recommend you give them a try!
