    I'm having thoughts of summer as I write this review but of course hot dogs are good all the time. The line goes fast so don't be deterred. The individuals who work here are friendly and efficient. The fries were not as crispy as I like but that's a personal preference.

    a hot dog and fries

    Update: Just went by for a quick lunch since I was in town...and they have Moxie. A quick survey of some of the locals (ok, my parents) shows the new fries are much preferred. They do not salt the fries because many of the older clientele have to limit their salt intake, but they have salt, a spicy salt mix and vinegar to douse the fries to your hearts content. I chatted with the new owner, a Marine vet, while his daughter took my order. They are involved in veterans issues, and raise money for local homeless vets. Their daughter sell high quality Bolleys T-Shirts. The wife and husband cook the fries and hot dogs. The place is a great local business that serves an iconic lunch.

    Hot dogs with ketchup, mustard, & onion (underneath) - so good!! & a small order of the hand-cut fries

    Maybe because I'm not a native Mainer, and I don't know about you, but the popular Maine "red" hot dogs kind of freak me out - I hadn't found a worthwhile dog in a while here... until now! They must be named Bolley's famous franks for a reason - the hot dogs are BOMB! I got mine with ketchup, mustard, and raw onion (which were layered nicely underneath the dog for the perfect bite). The buns are fresh and soft. The hand-cut fries are pretty good too. Quick counter-style ordering - only took about 5 minutes after I ordered there to receive my food. Super affordable prices & friendly staff.

    Excellent food and value. The French fries are the best much better straight cut. Crinkle cut fries are not as good.

    So excited when I read they were open again for the season! I wish I had my family with me today to…read moreenjoy this, but I'm riding solo this trip. I just ordered a single hot dog baskets the fries are so good! Hand it with skins. Perfectly crisp, with a big cup of ketchup on the side. Cole slaw is delicious! I'm not much of a cole slaw person, so that says a lot. The menu is extensive! Truly something very everyone. Not only hot dogs here! Burgers, lobster rolls, chowder, sausage, poutine. DONUTS!!! Yes fresh made everyday. Plus the biggest Whoopie pies you'll ever see. Service is wonderful, as seeks to be the norm here in central Maine. They greet you as you come in the door. The voices coming out of the kitchen seem calm and relaxed. You can tell they like being here and they all get along. They have some indoor seats, so it's nice to sit and people watch and listen to commentary as they eat. Can't wait to come back again, and then again and again all summer.

There really is nothing better than snapping into the loaded dog, sitting outside in the sun, on a warm sunny Maine day. Oh, loaded dogs do not come with ketchup - so if you need it on the dog you gotta ask for it. Their fries are fresh and come out piping hot, everything is cooked to order, but their onion rings do it for me. And the prices are stupid reasonable. They offer a variety of bottled water and soda, coffee, tea, everything you'd expect from a local dog eatery. Line goes fast, food is always fresh and delicious it's always a summer check list thing for me to have a dog from Bolley's. Cause it ain't summah in Maine otherwise. They take cash and card and are ADA accessible.

The hot dogs are gourmet but I am a vanilla eater so I got the regular hot dog with mustard and relish. Delish. Toppings are on the hot dog when you receive your food so if you want less or more of something on the hotdog you should let them know in advance. Seating area is beside the truck and had fresh flowers on each table.

Highly recommend Moody Dog, Get here, however you can, the trip is worth it! Tons of gourmet dog options and toppings. We had a shroom dog and a BLT dog. See the pics! Those dogs were as good as they look! Maybe better than they look! Service was professional and polite. Out server offered some selection assistance which was helpful and appreciated because there are many gourmet dog choices as well as breakfast all day! Moody Dog is located behind the iconic Rollies Bar in Belfast Maine. Moodys is an eclectic street art decorated stationary food truck with an outdoor seating area. As a bonus part of the seating area has a partial view of Historic Belfast Harbor. Oh and shout out to the onsite owner preparing each delicious and savory work of art! The owner took a few moments to interact with customers between orders. Big plus! And clear sign of owner buy-in and commitment to Moody's customers. We will return, we highly recommend Moodys! Check out Moodys on Isntagram, they have a really cool page with tons of pics and specials!
