At Earle's on Crenshaw, you can indulge in a legendary lineup of hot dogs and burgers, including beef, turkey, and vegan options, all served with a side of nostalgia and community spirit.
"Earle’s Grill is a South LA institution with outdoor seating and a rapid ordering process that includes beef or vegan dogs, excessively decadent chili dogs, fries, Frito pies, and much more. The heart of the operation is Duane Earle, who founded the hot dog cart in 1986 with his brother Cary. Duane appears to be de-facto face of the shop in lively social media videos that show him, staff, and family members serving up some of Los Angeles’s finest hot dogs." - Mona Holmes
"Classic South LA hot dog spot Earle’s has some of the best grilled hot dogs in Los Angeles, all served at an approachable price point. There’s plenty of variety here, with all beef, chicken, and vegetarian-friendly links. Don’t ponder over whether to order the chili cheese fries — they’re as delicious as ever." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"A family-owned business for more than 30 years, Earle’s is usually filled with loyal locals who love its famous dogs. There is the usual all-beef version with an accompanying all-beef chili, of course, but don’t overlook the vegan dogs, links, and chili. Both omnivores and herbivores leave full and happy." - Eater Staff
"Earle's, run by brothers Duane and Cary Earle, offers a diverse menu of hot dogs including beef, turkey, chicken, halal, and kosher options. The stand also serves Jamaican patties, an Alaskan salmon burger, and a pastrami sandwich. Their spicy beef link with mustard and sides like chili cheese fries and vegan chili cheese Fritos are highly recommended." - Eater Staff
"Earle’s originally started out as a mobile hot dog cart, but 30 years later, it’s grown into an always-busy lunch counter on Crenshaw that serves some of the best charbroiled hot dogs in the city. We usually go with their spicy beef link, but they also have turkey, beef, and vegan options as well—smothered with your choice of toppings, including meaty housemade chili and NY-style cooked onions. You’ll also find burgers, Jamaican patties, and lots of vegan options on the menu, along with their signature drink: a sweet and tangy lemonade/kool-aid mixture known as Playas Punch." - nikko duren, garrett snyder
