Fat Dawg Cafe is located on the sidewalk, in front of one of the Fairway Drive Home Depot, Roseville, CA location, so when you're shopping for all of your home needs, it's easy to grab one of Jennifer's delicious hot dogs... or maybe even a tri tip sandwich a burrito, or a couple of "street tacos." You'll be rewarded with an amazing meal, and a friendly word and a smile from Jennifer, the friendly chef, and owner of this fine restaurant. As with all of reviews that I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.
Photo: It's a little past the 09:00 morning opening time, Saturday, February 15, 2025, and I've arrived at Fat Dawg Cafe, located in front of Home Depot on Fairway Drive, in Roseville. The restaurant is compact, but includes everything to created delicious hot dogs, tacos, sandwiches and more. The chef plans to fire up the smoker in an hour or so, to prepare tri-tip and steak for the busy lunch crowd. The restaurant is conveniently located in front of the store, between the entrance and the exit, so you can combine your shopping and your eating in a single trip. It's open from 09:00 in the morning until 05:00 in the afternoon, every day of the week, and every day Home Depot is open. I was in the mood for a light snack of "Street Tacos," and they just happen to be on the menu!
Photo: The menu is posted in front of the restaurant. It's quite compact, but as the menu advertises... it's "Dawg Gone Good Food!"
Photo: Since it was just after opening time and the grill wasn't in operation, Jennifer got some tri-tip from the fridge, and sliced it for my tacos. The meat was super tender, juicy and flavorful.
Photo: The kitchen is very compact, but since there's only one chef, there's plenty of work space.
Photo: Yes... Fat Dawg Cafe is known for delicious hot dogs, as displayed by Chef Jennifer from a previous visit to this fine restaurant back on Friday, June 10, 2022. Click on the image to relive the visit.
Photo: Meet Jennifer, the talented and friendly chef, who prepared my delicious tacos, and brought them to me with a smile. Note the smoker grill in the background... she told me she planned to fire it up in a half hour or so to get a tri-tip ready for the lunch crowd.
Photo: I'm a happy taco kind of guy, as I toast my gracious hostess, Home Depot and Fat Dawg Cafe.
Photo: Today's "mission" was tacos, and my quest was rewarded with two amazing "Street Tacos," from the "Dawg Gone Good Food" section of the menu, posted on the front of the kitchen. Just like on the streets of Mexico, from where "Street Tacos" derive their name, chef Jennifer grilled small corn tortillas - two per taco - on the propane-fired griddle. As the tortillas were cooking on the griddle, she diced the tri-tip roast, that had been cooked outside the day before, on the charcoal-fired grill. After a couple of minutes heating on the griddle, she sprinkled grated Cheddar cheese onto the tortillas, added the meat, along with fresh, diced cilantro. It was now TACO TIME!!! The corn tortillas were grilled to perfections, stayed together, and added a welcome base to each taco. The "main event" of each taco was the decried, drilled trip tip, and the meat made for the perfect taco filling. Shredded Cheddar cheese, diced cilantro, along with fresh salsa was placed on each taco to complete the goodness. With each bite, I was rewarded with juicy goodness. The "Street Tacos" were small, but they were loaded with goodness, and made for a perfect snack, or for a light lunch. At $4.00 for two of these delicious little tacos... you can't go wrong! I could eat these delicious tacos every day...
Photo: One bite into my taco, and I was rewarded with the goodness of the perfectly cooked tri-tip, which worked great with the cilantro, shredded Cheddar cheese, and the deliciously toasted corn tortillas. Just like in Mexico, Jennifer's "Street Tacos" provide for great small bites, and for a delicious snack, or a light lunch. Delicious! You'll LOVE Jennifer's delicious hot dogs, street "Street Tacos, sandwiches, burritos... everything on the menu is simply delicious AND you'll be rewarded with Jennifer's amazingly friendly service and awesome culinary skills. You'll love the great meal you enjoy at Fat Dawg Cafe, located in Roseville, CA. No matter what your pleasure, you'll enjoy great dogs and friendly service! Fat Dawg Cafe
