    a meatball sub on a paper plate
    Michele S.

    This place is a great stop for an inexpensive lunch if you are in the Hoboken area. Not only do they have awesome hot dogs but they have really good homemade meatballs as well. I have been coming to this place for years and have never been disappointed.

    Chili dogs with mustard.

    Located at the Chelsea Market you need to go downstairs to find them and with a wide range of…read moreitems. I dont think that making a mistake when ordering is on the table. Food: I got the burger and it was indeed a hit cause Im not a big fan of red Cabbage. However when I tried it, I love the taste it brings to the meat and cheese. I would also say that the sauce was amazing with it being in the right amount while covering everything. The fries could be better but definitely passed the required test of crispiness. Ambiance: You will find a lot of seating so you dont need to worry about finding a place where to eat. Service: after you order at the counter you get a device that will tell when your food is ready. All you need to do is go and pick it up

    Dickson's Farmstand Meats is a unique stop inside Chelsea Market that focuses on high-quality…read morebutcher shop offerings, prepared foods, and classic meat-focused dishes. We walked down to the lower level of the market and found a space that felt more like a neighborhood butcher and farmstand than the surrounding food vendors, with display cases filled with different cuts of meat, sausages, charcuterie, and prepared items. The room had a practical, welcoming energy with a layout that accommodated both quick stops and slightly longer visits, and the combination of a working butcher counter and a hot food menu made it feel like a place where we could either grab a meal or take something home to cook. The hot dog was the standout item for us. We ordered one and found it with a great snap when biting into it, the casing giving way to a firm texture and a flavor that tasted noticeably different from a typical processed hot dog. The size was generous, filling the bun well without feeling overwhelming, and the toppings like onions and sauerkraut added a nice contrast. It was the type of simple item where the quality of the ingredients made the difference, and the preparation felt intentional without trying to overcomplicate the dish. Beyond the hot dog, the menu offered a variety of meat-focused options including burgers, brisket sandwiches, pastrami, roasted chicken, and charcuterie. The burger was another strong choice, keeping things simple while letting the quality of the meat stand out. We also appreciated that the shop gave us the option to explore different cuts and specialty products, making it easy to pick up something unique whether we were eating there or bringing something home. The atmosphere fit well with Chelsea Market's busy energy. Seating could be limited depending on how crowded the market was, so it was better suited for a casual meal rather than a long dining experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service moved quickly despite the constant flow of people walking through the market. The team handled the steady stream of customers with efficiency, and the food came out hot and well assembled. Overall, Dickson's Farmstand Meats is a great stop for anyone who appreciates well-made meat dishes and quality ingredients. The hot dog alone makes it worth visiting, but the variety of butcher shop offerings and prepared foods give plenty of reasons to return. It feels like a place that combines the experience of a traditional butcher shop with the convenience of a popular NYC food destination.

Tried the turkey sandwich, pastrami, and latkes. I think my favorite was the turkey sandwich, absolutely delicious. The cole slaw with it really balanced it out and was refreshing. Their pastrami is definitely worth the order, a nice thicker cut style. Latkes were great as well, nicely toasted with a few side sauces. Would suggest going to S&P.

Which yeah, all balances out to a perfect four. So there. The food is delicious. I got three items, a matzo ball soup, a tuna melt, and a potato pancake, and went 3 for 3. The matzo ball soup could use more than just a matzo ball and one small carrot, but it tastes great. Everything else tastes simple, effective, and delicious. I received first rate service. Even though I arrived during a lull between lunch and dinner, I was immediately greeted, offered a menu, and a glass of water without having to ask for it. The entire staff is super friendly and engaging. It really made for a fun experience to eat here. Now for the dirt. The portions are small. Nothing is made for a hungry eater. Be prepared to spend a lot if you play a sport, because one item is not going to do it. This is where being in the Flatiron District shows, because these prices are high for the food I received. $40 (with tip) is just too much, even if the food is outstanding. The restaurant is real close to the Flatiron Building, Madison Square Park, and the 23rd Street Station on the R and W trains. It is also not too far from the 23rd Street Station on the 6 train. Maybe I should not be a party pooper and just say the food is awesome and leave it at that. Then you would be missing out on the little things, like why your bank account got a little skinnier, and why you got skinnier after just one meal at this little luncheonette. -- They are one restaurant They are tuna loan They are three latkes They are for safe keeping

This isn't a sit-down spot; it's strictly order-and-take-away, though there is a counter inside if you want to stand and eat. Got the famous special with an Orange Drink--all for around $10! Loaded one dog with chili, cheese, and onions, and the other with onions, mustard, and relish. The toppings were super fresh and tasted amazing. Simply the right dog at the right price. Friendly folks serving up a tasty frankfurter with great energy. A legendary NYC stop every single time.

So of course we had to get it! It had a very thick consistency, but it was still yummy and not overly sweet. 10/10 Orange Drink - I loved this drink out of the 2 we tried, and this one was fireeeeeeee! It's basically a spin on an orange juice drink, but in my opinion, it's way better!

You can also order a variety of shakes. I would note that I visited pretty late (around 6 pm) to order food, and they already had a very limited menu since they close at 7 pm.

I'll start by saying it's definitely on the pricier side--$15 for the patty melt, $8 for the fries, $1 for the ranch, and $3.75 for a canned Sprite. The service was mediocre at first, but when I went back to purchase the ranch separately, the cashier was personable and kind. She mentioned that the ranch was their best, and I have to admit--she wasn't lying. It was worth the dollar! What originally drew me to Creamline was the fact that they actually had seating. After walking around the city, I really needed a place to rest my feet, and this spot seemed to have plenty of seats! The patty melt was good, but the fries and ranch were the true stars. The fries were perfectly crisp and paired amazingly with the ranch. I would go back solely for that. The only downside was the $4 canned soda, I also appreciated that staff came by to clear our table before we left. Overall, it was a nice experience for a burger spot in an extremely busy food hall.

It wasn't as gooey as I thought it would be. And there is a lot more breading then filling. It has great flavor though. I felt so unhealthy eating this, but I know what I am eating- deep fried cheese and processed meat. I liked the one with yellow bean flakes and sweetened condensed milk. I thought it would be weird for a hot dog to be in there but it actually tasted good. The boba was fresh and good but the mango green tea was so sweet and it was made by a machine with buttons. So don't expect real fruit or real flavors. It tasted fake and I wouldn't get it again. There are better boba places in the mall. The employees where very nice and helpful.

Overall quite a low quality corn dog compared to other similar places. Service (2/5): Nobody greeted us when we came and so we ended up ordering on the tablet.

They wouldn't try to figure out how to resolve the issue despite nobody greeting us at the cashier being the root of the problem. Ambiance (3/5): Part of the Newport Mall food court. They have nice large signs and decorations with one of the signs being a video screen.
