We're talking a beef, pork, and veal dog, split down the middle, drowned in butter, seared to crispy perfection, shoved into a toasted bun, and smothered in their secret-weapon house mustard. ​Is it simple? 100%. Is it ordinary? Absolutely not. ​We made the pilgrimage to Chef Fest just to see if a 100+ year-old hot dog still lives up to the hype in 2026. Safe to say... my soul left my body on bite one. If you call yourself a hot dog fan and haven't had a Walter's dog, what are you even doing with your life? ​10/10. No notes. Just butter and glory.

How have I not been here before?!!!…read more What's not to love about Walter's? It's located across from Mamaroneck High School in a structure from the 1920s that mimics a Chinese pagoda, evocative of early roadside America. Walter's does a booming business and has a long line around lunch time (when I went) but the line does move ultimately. Trust me it's worth the wait! I ordered the Big Walt and a six-count potato puffs. OMG! This dog is something else! First, it's made with pork, beef and veal for a unique flavor, split down the middle, and their signature mustard has a slight, delicious tang to it. The potato puffs are like little buttery puffs of mashed potato with a nice crust. And while waiting for the order to be filled, you can read a sampling of postcards sent to Walter's during various decades. Lots of history in both ambiance and taste that you will love. There's also a parking lot hidden behind the pagoda if you can't find parking along Palmer Ave. So what are you waiting for? Get your buns to Walter's and have a great split dog all snug in a bun!

Im from the bronx and at this point I dont even want to go there anymore, rather go all the way to Brooklyn for good vegan food AND Good service. Im just so disappointed but good service matters. You cant even call to check to see if they are open or if they even have food left, so I have just been wasting my time going there for nothing every time.

I've been a vegetarian for a few decades so I'm not the best judge, but I thought it tasted just like real shrimp. The sandwich was topped with special sauce, which was tangy and slightly sweet. Very satisfying. Their staff were super friendly as well. Would love to try their vegan seafood mac and cheese next.

I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo, and it was exactly what I needed: hot, flavorful, and super filling. The chicken was tender, the lamb had great seasoning, and the rice was fresh. Throw on that white sauce and hot sauce, and you've got yourself a comfort meal that hits the spot at any hour. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable -- especially for NYC. Whether it's 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., this spot is clutch for hospital workers, night owls, or anyone in need of a solid, satisfying bite near Montefiore.

I had a very disappointing experience with Chicken vs Lamb and won't be ordering again…read more My order was handled poorly from the start--food was left sitting instead of being given to the delivery driver who was already there, and parts of my order were missing. The food also didn't match what was advertised. I ordered a salad expecting what was shown on the menu, but received slimy arugula, strong-smelling feta, and dry grape tomatoes. When I brought it up, I was told the system has been like this for "2 months," yet the online and in-person menus are still not updated and don't match Uber Eats or what is actually served. The chicken over rice was overly sauced and served cold, and the photos online are outdated and misleading. When I tried to address the issue, I was told to "just take the tomatoes off," which didn't solve the problem since that wasn't what I ordered. The staff was also dismissive and rushed the conversation, making it feel like the issue was being blamed on me. Overall, there's a lack of consistency, poor communication, and misleading menu information. I won't be ordering again. I'd recommend Space Grill instead--the food is much better, though they close around 11pm.

The flavors will knock your tastebuds for a loop because no matter which style you choose the dish will be THAT good! You do not want these right off the grill or you'll get seriously burned. The grill? Yes! These babies are grilled and NOT fried which is how they're supposed to be cooked. The dough is not raw, it's creamy which is authentic. Karl wouldn't try to kill his customers because he's a good guy. If he did do that he'd lose his customers because he'd be in jail and I think it's safe to say he likes being free. His prices are more than fair considering the quality, quantity, and amount of care that's put into these balls of joy.

Great place to get hot dogs and more…read more They opened recently - located in the same spot Sloppie Joe's used to occupy for those who might know the area. The menu is simple, but has enough variety. I've tried a few of the hot dogs, but I'd recommend the Doggixan and the Bacon Rolled Dog for sure. The fries are good and there's also a good selection of them whether you want homemade, curly, Cajun, or another. The shakes are good and hit the spot. Located on Central Park Avenue - parking is limited on Boone (permit only in the area), but you'd be fine if you watch your car. Obviously good for locals and casino patrons. They're also on DoorDash. Glad they opened here and if you're up for a tasty hot dog and more, it's worth checking this place out.
