Danny K's Billiards & Sports
Danny K's Billiards & Sports
1096 N Main St.
Orange

Danny K's is a sports bar near the Honda Center and Anaheim Stadium. During Monday Night Football Danny K's has free hot dogs and happy hour drink specials. $3.50 imported draft beer pints. $5.25 24oz mugs. $2 off 12 in pizza and $1 off selected appetizers.
The hot dogs are pretty damn good. They don't cheap people either. If the buns or hot dogs are running low, another tray is coming up. The hot dogs stop right about half time of the time, so between 7-7:30pm, depending on the game. Chips, salsa and chili are also included.
The hot dog buns are huge, they are almost like rolls. They are soft, but if you get the buns that's been sitting at the bottom of the tray, it will be hard, and chewy. The hot dogs themselves are skinless and made from a combination of pork, beef and chicken. They have a good mix of spices. The hot dogs are long and thin, they remind me of Hebrew National hot dogs. They have mustard, relish, tomatoes, red onions and ketchup to add.
For the price and quality, you can't beat Danny K's for their hot dogs. They have the typical sports bar food. What what I could see they are served in huge portions and most items are less than $10.
Service is below average. It took awhile before a server came by. I'll grant her there was a decent amount of people and the place is huge, but I shouldn't have to wait around 5-7 minutes before getting an order. The waitress was also pretty rude and for somebody working at a sports bar had not clue about sports. I asked for the baseball game to be put on TV. She actually asked "Which game?" HELLO there is only ONE GAME on at this time. Keep up with the sports. She also took a break and smoked like a chimmney. So when she came back to ask me if I wanted another beer, she smelled like an ash tray. I wish people would at least spray some perfume, even cheap perfume after smoking. Hell better yet, stop smoking.
Danny K's must be a hang out for fans of that steroid, criminal, college football program, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I would be ashamed to have a wall with Husker Red all over. Especially that scumbag, Lawerance Phillips, who should be locked up and they should throw away the key. But Danny K's has a huge wall filled with Husker football items.
There are four huge projection screens, along with many smaller, 27 in. TV's in the back area. The front area has one projection screen.
I would go back to Danny K's. I don't have high expectations for service at sports bars and Danny K's met them. The hot dogs are great and the happy hour prices for beer are great too. I also thought the appetizers, burgers and pizza looked good and I may go back to see the Cornhuskers get their butts kicked.
