Cravings Wood Grill - Best Hot Dog in Fresno

RESTAURANT REVIEW - Had to take mom into the Clovis KP for an appointment. So while she handled the stuff at Kaiser I took my girls out for lunch. I wanted hot dogs and let my smart phone find a near by hot dog place. Cravings Wood Grill popped up a couple blocks away. I had no idea about this place but thought we'd give it a try.

Walking in I thought this must be a new franchise concept. They had hot dogs, hamburgers and other sandwiches. I wanted a hot dogs but when I saw they had pastrami burgers, that is what I picked. My youngest daughter had a corndog and my oldest a grilled chicken sandwich.


After they were cooked we were called up to pick our toppings. Everything was fresh and crisp. My burger was great and my daughters liked their food too. The owner came to our table a couple of times to check on us which at first bugged me but my curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know more about his place.

This is a great concept and I hope he is able to open more restaurants. I'd love to see one in Madera or at the very least, West Shaw Avenue. This place is why out of my way. I never go out that far down Herndon Avenue unless I am going to KP. I will be making a return trip to this place with my girlfriend just for the hot dogs.

Other than the food the one thing that really impressed me was the playing of Christian music in the background. This was a great mood changer for me. Since I am always a little on edge when I have to deal with Kaiser.

Make the trip down Herndon Avenue to Armstrong. It will be worth the time for some great food. Tell them The Valley Guy from Big Valley News sent you. - UPDATE, There is now a Cravings near Costco on West Shaw Avenue in Fresno.
