It's just "SAD." - Sad Angry Dogs
Somebody let the dogs out... 'And they got hit by a car. Angry Dogs lived up to its name...

I've been a huge fan of Corn Dog Castle before word got out; it's just down the boardwalk. I was intrigued when I saw Angry Dogs @ opening week of Pixar Pier. (June 2018) Note to self; need to try the Angry Dog @ Angry Dogs. I had asked the cast member @ the time if it was the same spicy sausage used in CDC's hot link corn dog. She told me that she wasn't sure; I appreciated her honesty.
My friends & I haven't been back to Disneys since June. We're not a big fan of the summer crowds where it takes 90 minutes to get on Guardians of The Galaxy, paired with the sweltering heat. I prefer the 30 minutes or less time frame. Now that weather is cooling off, it's a great time to be @ the park!
So, today we tried Angry Dogs... 'And it was very underwhelming; especially for the $$.
Angry Dog (Hot link) | $8.49 x2 = $16.98
*The Angry Dog comes w/a small bag of "Hot Cheetos"
Soda | $4.19
Water | $3.99
Grand total: $27.11

Note: Disney AP discount NOT accepted here
Remember earlier, I asked the cast member if these were the same hot links that CDC uses?... (Insert buzzer sound here) It is not! CDC uses a rather large hot link, obscenely so. Ladies, please eat responsibly, after all this is a family place! The all beef hot link from Angry Dog is about 7". For the $$, you're paying about $4.72 per ounce; waste money. The overall value, not worth it.

I had to try it and once is more then plenty! If you're bite-curious; give them a try! However, I suggest buying one Angry Dog, split it and you make the call!... 'But this way, when you're disappointed, you won't feel like a complete sap; just only half of one! Did I mention underwhelming? Again, not to worry because you can walk down the ways a bit to Corn Dog Castle and still get one of the best eats @ DCA! (BTW - It's less $$, bigger portions, AND they DO accept the Disney AP discount. Also, the corn dogs are made to order & not sitting in a sweat box like they do here @ Angry Dogs.)

The two young ladies working were friendly & helpful. They also offer the: Slightly Annoyed Dog | $7.49 (It's just your standard, run of the mill, hot dog. It's a lot like the $1.50 hot dog/soda combo from COSTCO but not as good & drink sold separately.)
Angry Dogs also offers a fairly wide array of sauces for your dog; ranging from brown mustard, yellow mustard, sriracha ketchup, regular ketchup, and a buffalo sauce. That's all fun & everything but if your hot link dog is ALL that, why would you need anything more than good ol' mustard?... It's a nice novelty to offer but brings nothing to the hot link dog. In fact, if anything, it masks the real taste of the hot link. If you order a "Slightly Annoyed Dog," I can see playing around with the different sauces but nothing substantial beyond that. (Shrugs)

The most appealing thing about Angry Dog is the booth design with the character; very fun & looks great!
Fun design! - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/angry-dogs-anaheim?select=HJUiYs2k04sdAPS3Mzbitg
I'd also suggest picking up an IPA from the Karl Strauss Beer Truck or a Michelada, it'll help ease the pain. In fact, pick up two, you're gonna need it!
- Big Aloha!
Verdict: "Very passable."
Food: 2
Ambiance: 5 (Hey, it's Disneys! It's still a pretty awesome place to be despite some of the eateries!)
Service: 3+
Value: 1
** Note: Overall rating does not reflect my final rating of two stars; I'm using my executive power to override it because simply, Angry Dog earned it.
