Hands down, best hot dogs in New Jersey. Rutts Hut doesn't even touch it with a 10 foot pole. It may look like a little hole in the wall, but don't sleep on this place. read more

I have been coming here for years and no doubt a great spot for a couple of hotdogs. Their hotdogs always have a nice snap to them and their chili is very good with a slight kick to them! Hard to find a spot, but it's a walk up window grab your hotdogs and go! read more

Boulevard Drinks - 2 with chili - Hot Dogs Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

To all my New York implants now living in Jersey City, craving a good hotdog every now and then can now get them on this side of the water. Boulevard Drinks is the place and they are located in Journal Square right next to a bar/theater. This is a very small venue with about six stools inside with a walkup window for you to order your dogs to go. The prices are pretty reasonable and they remind me of a Gray's Papaya hotdogs from NY. For all my hotdog lovers, this is the place for you and me. read more

Good taste but $3.25 for mustard & relish ...no. It's a skinny dog. Counterman was nice. read more

I love Boulevard Drinks. If you're expecting a nice place to sit down and have a bourgeois, cumin-infused, 17-year aged cheddar crusted sausage in an artisan sourdough bun, this place is not for you. If you'd like a cheap, delicious hot dog on a toasted bun topped with chili and cheese, go here and return often. I'd be remiss to say that part of why I'm giving BD five stars isn't because of its proximity to the Jersey Loews movie palace. Jersey Loews is an old theatre, truly a palace, built in 1929. If you haven't heard of 20s-era movie palaces, please google this right now. Anyways, I love coming to BD because I always go to a Jersey Loews showing literally next door. Two chili cheese dogs will cost you just over five dollars. Walk next door and you can complement the dogs with two feature films (I saw Sullivan's Travels and Arsenic and Old Lace last night) with popcorn and a drink for seventeen more. Not bad when it's $15 bucks to see a movie in Manhattan. Anyways, go to Boulevard Drinks and Jersey Loews. You will not regret it. Be advised though, if you're planning on seeing a movie after your hot dogs, definitely check the Jersey Loews website. They only screen movies one or two weekends a month! read more

Boulevard Drinks - BEAUTIFUL lobby of the Jersey Loews Movie Palace literally right next door to Boulevard Drinks. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

For the life of me, I cannot understand the love this place gets as "one of the best hotdogs" in New Jersey. I've been here a half dozen times for the chili cheese dogs because there's nowhere else to get a hot dog in Jersey City, and what you get is a serviceable hot dog. That's literally the most amount of praise I can deal to this place. It's convenient, it's cheap, and it tastes like it. To the guy below who has searched for the best hot dog and is considering it to be here, WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN EATING YOUR HOT DOGS??!! Sure, this is better than somewhere like Papaya Dog or the Nathan's carts on the street, but compared to places like The Hot Grille? Rutt's Hut? Crif Dogs? It's not even in the conversation. I feel sorry for the people who are declaring Boulevard Drinks the best hot dog in New Jersey, as I can only imagine what kind of hot dogs you've been eating for this place to be at the top of your list. Come here because it's in a convenient location, but if you're really in the mood for a CHILI DOG, come to the places I mentioned above. I can only hope you will then see the light. read more

I always walk by this place and never get a chance to try it. Today I give it a try as the reviews raves about this place. I walked in not knowing what to order besides just "hot dog". The menu is pretty clear when you walk in you will see it. The staffs are funny, nice and will help you out if you have questions. The place is limited space. It's not ideal for larger group to hang and sit down. I ordered the plain hotdog with the typical ketchup and mustard along with another spicy sausage with chilli. I tried the plain hotdog. It was the bomb! It tastes so good. The pricing is quite fair for New York hotdog. I paid around $5ish for 2 hotdogs. Would I go again? YES, I will! I am a hotdog lover and i approved this hot dog. read more

Each bite is crisp. And when it's topped off by their OG chili, it's heavenly. The chili is has such an incredible and unique taste. It's smoky, the flavor is robust, and has a kick that complements the taste of the beef frank. Not to mention, the buns are simple - there's a hint of sweetness! I get 1 chili and 1 with everything (sweet onions, sauerkraut, and the chili) - then I top it off with mustard. Complete your experience by ordering a drink - Piña Colada. I'll miss ya Blvd Drinks. read more

Great place. There's nothing fancy about the place besides history. The place has been around for years in the jersey city journal square area. They simplified and mastered the hot dog. You walk in ordered a hot dog, add your topping and continue on your way. I recommend 2 hot dogs, with chili and ketchup with a water. If your incline on your fitness levels and what you consume, don't come here. read more

These hot dogs are a little different, with the homemade chili sauce making this place different from most places that sell hot dogs. It's $3 for a hot dog with $0.25 for each additional topping. The hot dogs taste great and are pretty much ready whenever you're there. read more

As scary as hot dogs are they are tasty! So though every part of me tells me I shouldn't eat hotdogs (especially my stomach), I'll eat them once in a blue usually with the suggestion of someone else (my hotdog connoisseur lover). Now this place has perfected the simplicity of grilling a hotdog, placing it in hotdog bread and topping them off with several toppings of your choice. I go for onions, sauerkraut, ketchup & mustard. Some go for the chili too. I usually choose not to do that to my poor stomach & rear but I've heard the chili on top is good. This place is cheap & quick (if it isn't crowded) & satisfies a mystery meat craving. Now, staff needs to keep track of who comes first because there are no rules in this place and unless you want to get into a fistfight with a crackhead people may skip you. I usually let them skip. read more

Growing up in jersey city, this is a staple for best hot dogs hands down!...nothing ever changed with how it's prep and taste, just the price of the dogs lol read more

Boulevard Drinks - Hot Dogs Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

let me just start by saying that the people working there are friendly. I strongly believe blvd drinks really took a few steps down. I been a JC resident my whole life and enjoyed going there to have a dog or three. :-) the last few times i was there the dog didn't have a snap to it and the chili was awful. save your money. some of my favorite dos are: Al's Hot dogs (corner of hamilton park on 8th st. Jersey City NJ) Twans (Merseles and Montgomery Jersey City NJ) Papaya Dogs (NYC 42nd st and 8th ave) *note Als hot dogs are only out in fair weather but definitly worth the trip. read more

A Jersey City institution. I was sort of sad they changed their sign. Old places like these makes you appreciate how doing one thing well makes a world of difference. This place is on my way home and every time I come out the path, I always wonder if I have cash and am I hungry enough for 1-2 chili dogs. Most of the time I move along and start again the next day, but there are times I lose. Hotdogs and buns are always fresh. Most of the toppings are also good as well. Make sure you know what you want before ordering or you'd just be messing the flow. Cash only. Just writing this review makes me want to go out and walk towards the square but I have to put on pants. Maybe on the way back home tomorrow. read more

How can you not love this place! Omg. A staple for the community. I love to buy three and mix and match the toppings and end it with a lemonade! read more

The greatest freaking whole-in-the-wall joint you'd ever eat from. I order the chili cheese dog EVERY time I visit. It's hard being in JSQ and not stopping by. The the sausages are great as well !!! I recommend you try: 1. Chili cheese dog 2. Hotdog w/ raw onions & mustard 3. Hotdog with red onions 4. Sausage (doesn't need a topping *my opinion*) read more

I moved to Louisiana 2009. Whenever I make my trip back to visit Jersey City I always make a pit stop by Boulevard drinks for there awesome hot dogs. It taste as good as when I was a teenage kid walking through Journal Square. read more

Gray's Papaya has nothing on Boulevard Drinks in Jersey! I don't know if I'm totally biased because my dad has been bringing me to this little joint for hot dogs and pineapple juice since I have use of memory but regardless, I don't think I have ever or will ever taste a better hot dog anywhere else! The franks are always fresh, tasty and magically delicious! I love their fountain pineapple juice. It's the perfect accompaniment to the dog. I don't think I've ever met a nicer group of hot dog vendors either. The guys are always super nice and friendly to everyone that comes around. read more

In town for business so had to stop by. I even got a metered parking spot! (Don't be jealous) Ordered 1 with mustard & kraut, 1 with mustard & chili. ($2 each) The chili was more of a sauce, spicy kick. The dog with the kraut was my favorite. The dog itself was griddled to perfection, I could have eaten it plain. I WAS hoping to see the original sign out front but, oh well. The dogs are what count. read more

best hot dogs I ever had in my life. what place has chili cheese dogs????? and it's very well priced and the dogs are skinny , BIG PLUS!

I really like this place. When I worked for Difeo I would eat at the one on that use to be on Rt 440 for breakfast and lunch. It's not the best dog in NJ, nor is it a real chili dog. It's closer to the Texas weiner sauce you find on the dogs in Paterson, Clifton area. It's a spicy sauce that you can get with mustard diced onions, my favorite way or with cheese. The hot dog is a NC dog that's griddle on a flat top and has a great snap. I try to stop there whenever I'm in the area. The biggest problem with this place is finding a place to park. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. There's nothing like it. I am very disgusted and disappointed that the owner of the place smokes cigarettes inside the restaurant and around customers. ITS ILLEGAL TO SMOKE IN RESTAURANTS!!! read more

Coming here as a kid growing up in Jersey City, then coming back as an adult many years later, this place has not changed one bit. The smell of hot dogs and chili always makes me want to come for 2nds, then 3rds. If anyone is ever in the Jersey City area, it is well worth it to pay a visit, or even come out of your way. I recommend the chili and sauerkraut. read more

Do yourself a favor and get two chili dogs in orange drink. This place is pretty much my favorite place for hotdogs on the planet.

It's tasty and fast and the location is really close to the Path station. The chili is good but don't get the soupy onion sauce - ask for raw onions. The sausage is nice and spicy - better than the skinny hot dog. read more

Yes that is right, 5 stars for a hotdog joint. Went here last night between a double feature at the Loew's Theatre and had a half hour to kill so stopped for a bite to eat. It is a tiny little place (maybe 10 stools), cash only but one of the best hot dogs I have ever had. I have been told to come to this place and just hadn't had the opportunity. I didn't know what I was missing all these years! I will put it up there with the Nathan's in Coney Island and a Dodger Dog at Dodger Stadium. It has the snap of a Sabrett Hot Dog and it is grilled. We shared 2 with sauerkraut /mustard, 2 chili cheese with mustard and a lemonade. The total cost for 4 hotdogs and a drink was under $10 (such a deal!). Just an observation, I am in the area for various appointments and the place opens at 8 am. I love hot dogs but that is way too early for me! :) read more

So I've lived in Journal Square for years and I've never reviewed this place? Let's fix that. I'm all about hole-in-the-wall places. It doesn't get much more hole-in-the-wall than here. I would often find myself running by here either to go to my pharmacy or running different errands in the area. Naturally, I'd often find an excuse to make a pit stop here. Once you duck inside, you'll find yourself inside a Jersey City institution. There's little room inside. But let's be real- if you wanted a high-end, sit-down lunch, you wouldn't be going to a place that slings hot dogs. If you want phenomenal hot dogs that pop in your mouth, you'll come here, you'll deal with the smaller space, and you'll enjoy it. I will be incredibly depressed if this place ever shuts down as I feel it has some of that Jersey City soul that seems to be getting sucked from the area. If this place is open and you're in the area, give them a shot. You'll be helping keep a Jersey City legend open. read more

I went to grammar school about a block away from here, so this is where we would go after school every single day. Back then a hot dog and a soda would cost me less than a dollar. Now a hot dog and a soda will cost me about $3.00, which still isn't that bad. I love how when you bite into the dog, you hear it go *snap* in your mouth because it's well cooked. It's Sabrett's so you know it's a good dog. And usually, instead of a soda I get the fruit punch, which is one of those olde time machines. Hey, if it ain't broke why fix it, right? It's also right next to the Loew's Theatre so this is the perfect place to hit before you watch a movie or catch a concert there. And the PATH is just across the street as well. read more

So on a beautiful March day (thanks global warming) after waiting for the building inspector for SIX HOURS! (thanks municiple gov.) I decided to do some afternoon drinking. Since its such a nice day I decide to walk to one of my favorite haunts with the intention of doing a little one man pub crawl throught the JC. Upon the start of my journey I realize the banana and the oatmeal cookies I ate for lunch are not gonna cut it. Further along my walk I remember the conversation I had with one of my new Yelp buddies Vineet about Boulevard Drinks' hot dogs. Had I ever been there (No) and you should try it sometime(I will). Seeing as there is no time like the present I give it a whirl. When I enter the smell of flat top griddled meat in tube form and sauerkraut fill my lungs. Ahh, heaven. Surely my time waiting for gov. officials will be rewarded. I order two dogs with kraut to go. Cant waste time when beer is on my mind. I gotta say these dogs are very good. They have that snap to the meat that you look for in a hot dog.(Sorry dirty water dogs dont snap like griddled) The kraut is excellent. Good flavor without overpowering in odor and bitterness. My only criticism is that the buns are not toasted. I know your thinking "So what?" but let me tell you when you eat a dog, brat, sausage with an untoasted bun after you've had a toasted bun. It some how lacks that jazz that makes it a 10. Thats my only reason for a four and not a five and Im sorry to say thats kinda big for me. Over all I'm excited to have finally tried this place and am really looking forward to stumbling off the PATH and injesting a few of these tasty treats. read more

Inedible. Ordered 3 and after eating the first one, I had to throw the remaining 2 into the garbage. The amount of salt in these hot dogs is disgusting! read more

Better than any truck hot dog. Better than any fair hot dog. Better than any hot dog place out there. This place gives famous Chicago hot dogs a run for its money. Cheap Friendly Take it on the go or sit and watch some of the square goonies in action. Get the chili topping, it has a kick to it. You can't be from jersey city and not try their hot dogs. It's one of those things that you have to understand. read more

I've been coming to this place since I was a kid and the hot dogs are just as good now as they were then. This is hands down the best hog dogs I've ever had in my life. My only other recommendation is to try a lime ricky. It's a drink that I can only describe as an amazing concoction of deliciousness that will blow your mind. It's not on the menu, but they still serve it up for those who ask just like they have for decades. The chili-dogs here are things of legend... It has amazing flavor and spice that perfectly compliments the perfectly cooked hotdogs that have that perfect snap when you take that first bite. That's it... Game over... You win, Boulevard Drinks. read more

Small place, no frills, just good hot dogs. An absolute must when in the neighborhood.

I've been going there since I was 6 which was when i first moved to NJ. I'm now 22 yrs old. There hot dogs are the greatest. There chilli dogs especially and if you do go there. You must must must try there Chilli dog with a s/m/ or large "LIME RICKEY" it's so satisfying. There hot dogs will fill you after you'r 2-3 hot dog. No kidding. This place is a hole in the wall but it's worth going for the hot dogs. read more
