First time here and did not see a menu but not to worry they were kind enough to explain weiners get 3 toppings ( brown mustard, homemade sauce, and onions) they don't offer any of the other shit (his words) 3 dogs and fries came to less than $10 . It was good definitely recommend. Warning dining room is dark. read more

We were in town for a ride on the train and heard this was THE PLACE to go. Being from the Detroit area I'm a HUGE fan of coneys. These are not those. My wife's family is from Rochester, NY and they make a "hot sauce" which seemed similar to this. To me it tasted like watered down ground beef/"hot sauce", lacking the spices I'm used to. The hot dogs didn't seem to be anything special. The fries were crispy and delicious while the vanilla coke was apparently the highlight of the meal. If you enjoy hot dogs or have picky kids, this would be a good spot for you. read more

What a disappointment!! When we first walked in, we noticed that the lights weren't even turned on (clue #1). They have no wait staff so you order and pay at the counter. When it's ready, you have to pick up the food at one counter and drinks at a different counter. If you want ketchup or salt and pepper, again you have to pick it up (clue #2). The hot dog sauce is definitely not the same, our fries were overcooked, and the buns were mushy because they were wrapped in waxed paper before being put into a paper bag to hand us (clue #3). We weren't sure what we were supposed to do with our trash but someone behind the counter told us to put it in a plastic tote that was sitting on the bar. This place has certainly gone way down hill. We will NEVER return!!! read more

Since 1918. Must be doing something great. CURTIS' hot dogs have a special combination of sauce and onions like no where else read more

passing through and stopped in by a recommendation from a local resident , I heard about this place years ago from another famous Hot dog joint in baltimore . greated by the owner who was super friendly explained the menu and what's popular. I go a few dogs with everything, super crispy fries and probably the best chocolate milkshake I've had in awhile . friendl people, great food and atmosphere , highly recommend !!! read more

I was in Cumberland for work a few days ago, and I was walking back to my car to get back on the road to Baltimore, I saw Curtis'. I saw the words "weiners" and "since 1918" and promptly crossed the street and walked in. When you walk in for the first time, it's immediately clear that most people who walk in have been in before (10 or 100 times) and so have a regular order off their small menu. It was my first time, so I got a bit of an explanation and got a single wiener the way they serve it - with "sauce" (meat chili), brown mustard, and white onion. It was delicious. I could have eaten a couple more. They will mix it up for you if this combo of chili, mustard, and onion isn't for you. (They may have had some other items on the menu too, but I didn't consider them, so didn't notice!) On their drink list, I noticed buttermilk. The only person I've ever known to drink buttermilk was my paternal grandmother who was from rural Illinois, and I so I asked if they really still serve it. They do, and Gino (more on him later) brought me a little taste for nostalgia's sake. The space is larger than it appears from outside and full of character and history - all the walls covered with newspaper articles and photographs. Lastly, the service. Gino is the current owner - Curtis' is third-generation family-owned, and he is definitely a big part of what makes Curtis' special. He's warm and welcoming and funny and will definitely tell you the story of Curtis' if you're interested. They're cash only, so remember to bring cash with you. Curtis' is just one of those special places that seem like they're doing things the same way they were done 50-100 years ago. They're old school in the best way. A meal at Curtis' is like a journey into the past (including their prices, which are incredibly affordable and accessible for anyone who might stop in). I'm so happy I saw the building and thought "yeah, I should get a snack before I get back on the road." Curtis' is a special place, and I'd be happy to visit again when I'm next in Cumberland. read more

Curtis Famous Weiners - Four "with", two orders of fries abd two cokes. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Cumberland, Maryland

This is probably the most notable hot dog place in Maryland, and rightfully so. The dogs are reasonably priced as well as the combo meals. The place does not take cash, so be sure to have some on you. Service was great as the owner was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction by choosing the coney dog. Its basically a hot dog with meat sauce (which they make). I pretty much gobbled through those things! As far as the place, yes it does look sorta trashy in the inside as there was so much boxes and old stuff piled up everywhere. But they do have a decent sitting area. read more

The best hot dogs ever. No trip is complete to Cumberland without a visit to Curtis Famous Weiners. Gino Giatras you rock. Gino makes every customer feel so welcome. This is a Cumberland tradition dating back to 1918. These are Coney Island style. They make their own meat sauce and it's so good. Dogs are $2.00! read more

Best hotdogs around and Gino is the best!! Always worth the trip!! See you guys soon!!

This icon of the region is must-stop for anyone driving through or near Cumberland. Great ownership, great dogs!

Why would you eat anywhere else why you are in Cumberland?? I'm already planning future road trips to visit this place again! This is the quintessential experience for this area. Gino was half the experience, because that guy seriously rocks! The dogs are made to coney perfection, with crisp onions, and excellent sauce. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a time capsule from my youth, maybe even my dad's. Seriously, make sure you don't miss this one. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience. Walked in and was immediately greeted with a big hello and guided as to what they do. As Gino put it, " we do hot dogs with special sauce, mustard, and onions. That's what we're known for." The food was great, but the experience with Gino was a pleasure. he talked to us like we'd known him for years. He truly enjoys his work. So good I went back the next day before leaving town, walked in the door and heard a loud laugh with a "hey Todd, back again!" Yep remembered the name and everything. If you go to Cumberland and don't visit this place, you're denying yourself a true, genuine experience! read more

Great food, great service and amazing prices! The weiners are great but also get the chicken and cheese with everything on it, you won't be disappointed! The owner also makes the vanilla for the Vanilla Coke so you can't go wrong there. Will be here over and over again while I'm in town! read more

Still the best Coney Dogs in the world. First I have had them in 8 years and was visiting from LA and they are just as I remember them!!! Delicious!!! read more

Good food. Good service. I really don't care abt the music or ambiance. That's my rating and I'm sticking to it.

Traveling thru Cumberland, we stopped for lunch when "Coney Island Famous Weiners" caught my eye - Being from Jersey we KNOW AND LOVE our dogs " with or without". Anyway speaking with Gino was worth the stop alone, great attitude and lots of fun while waiting for our order. Nice favor to the dog with sauce and onions. And Gino makes a great chocolate milkshake! Worth the stop, walk-up window and sidewalk seating. Plenty of parking right across the street. read more

A taste of nostalgia from my childhood! They are great Coney Island dogs that we grew up loving and it brought back wonderful memories of our father who passed in February. Thank you Geno! read more

Unbelievably delicious food at dirt cheap prices. I am from Anne Arundel county, where Ann's dairy cream foot longs are national famous. While these are normal size hot dogs, they pack just as much flavor and equal the best hot dogs I've ever eaten. Whenever you are in the area stop by and pick up a hot dog, you won't be disappointed. And don't forget to try the chocolate ricky, it's basically a more delicious yoo-hoo. Every time I'm in town and make sure to stop by. read more

A friend from home has raved about Curtis' so, being a hot dog guy, I had to stop while I was in Cumberland. I went in 2018 and they were celebrating their 100th year of operation. Anything that goes that long has to be pretty good. The interior is dark wood and lit by glowing yellow bulbs. The menu is posted behind the counter but you probably won't need it. The tough question is just how many dogs you want. The standard way they are served is with their famous chili sauce and onions. The person I was with ordered light onions and I'm glad I did too. They really pile them on. The buns are soft, the dogs are good, and the chili has great flavor. No need to get fries, just get more dogs. The other highlight is the vanilla Coke. They make their own vanilla syrup in house and that stuff is awesome. Treat yourself to some vanilla Coke! I had the pleasure of meeting Gino, the owner. He's the third generation owner and a great guy. If you're passing through Cumberland, you really should stop at this hot dog joint, it's an institution. read more

First thing, they do not take plastic only cash. I had enough in my wallet. The hot dogs were reasonably priced and I was just passing through Cumberland on a drizzling Saturday morning. The main restaurant was closed, and you ordered through a window. They have a hut like place with space heaters a door away. I ordered three hot dogs with crinkle fries and a soda. The hot dogs are small but tasty witht the onions, mustard and chilli. Good experience. I like experiencing local legends in small towns. read more

We stopped thru Cumberland from Ohio to VA and came up on this place to hit something other than the usual chains. Gino was awesome even though we showed a few mins before closing. We listened to the hx of the business and the food. He works hard and is third generation in this business. He let us stay past closing, helped us with directions. Best of all, the food was good! It's hard these days to find a good hot dog and local spots that give you a family feel and down-home vibe. Thanks Gino! We will be back if we are in the area!! Grant & Nicole read more

My favorite place for Coney Dogs. My third favorite hot dog place. I prefer the deep fried dogs as in Rutts Hut in NJ and Blackies in CT.

Can't beat the friendliness and tastiness of this spot! I popped in tonight on a whim as I was driving by on the highway and learning the spot is 103 years old when I was greeted at the little window was an awesome fun fact. The hotdogs and sauce were awesome, plus the accompanying chocolate milk made it all the much better. A must try if you're driving by the area! read more

Simple. Classic. Delicious. Quick & friendly service. Unbeatable value. Great place to stop for a quick bite when checking out historical downtown Cumberland - and still family-owned after 105 years! The fries fresh out of the fryer are iconic - they say you won't need ketchup and they mean it! read more

Curtis Famous Weiners - Hot Dogs Near Me - Cumberland, Maryland

Love this place! Gino is the nicest guy I ever met. While I was waiting for my order today, an older gentleman walks by and had a question for Gino. "Where did the leather shop move to?" Without missing a beat, Gino knew exactly where it had moved and even offered to call them up for him. He followed up with a question, asking what the man needed from the shop? When he replied "a bifold wallet" Gino disappeared into the storeroom and emerged 15 seconds later with a brand new leather bifold, no charge, no questions asked. Yes, that's small town America folks and it's the heart and soul of this nation. No politics here, just good old fashioned hospitality. Oh yeah, the hot dogs are amazing too. :-) Every time I come to this part of the world, I visit Curtis Famous Weiners. read more

Wish they had indoor dinning and the hotdogs actufit the buns. Other then that they were okay.

Sooooo good this is my new dog place small but they have seats and 3 dogs with everything and fries are both a 10 also the 2 gentleman working were helpful and nice read more

Phenomenal hotdogs, exceptional chili, and even better workers amazing job! 10/10 would eat here every time read more

Every time I come to Cumberland to visit family I stop and get a dog here. This place is amazing! I love the look and feel, it's totally throwback and true to what it was like when it originally opened. My order is the same thing every time - two dogs "with" (the special sauce), French fries, and a chocolate Ricky. Aside from the awesome hot dogs the service is great. The manager greets you as soon as you walk in the door and it's a friendly experience until you walk out. :-) If you're interested in a some comfort food and a fun experience this is the place for you! read more

Like cool spots that locals have been coming to for over 100 years (3rd generation). This is it! Not fancy, but full of character. I would go every day because they truly love the food they serve their loyal customers. What a wonderful experience. I'll recommend to all and stop by every time. Order the Weiners as they serve them, and do yourself a favor a try the house made Vanilla Coke. You'll love it! read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have more reviews. My family (parents & grandparents) have been coming here for longer than I've been alive and I'm over 50 at this point. The dogs are amazing - always have been, taste the freaking exact same as they did when I was a kid and fell in love with them. The service is awesome and super fast and comes with free jokes. Totally worth the two-hour drive to get them. I see some reviews where people aren't happy with the amount of food they're being served. They have always been small portions but they aren't very expensive. Always been that way. I'm not a big person and I can put away four dogs, and seriously, it doesn't cost very much. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: This place has been around since 1918, and it isn't going anywhere. The owner Geno is always there talking to people, getting'em going and taking care of every detail. Great deli style-big city hotdogs and fries. Try a Chocolate Ricky and make sure you tell them Garrett from the video game store sent you. He gets a kick out of things. The only draw back is it's CASH ONLY! I forgot about that once and Geno let me slide. Like I said this is a town landmark. Stop in. read more

I'm from Chicago. I take my dogs seriously. With that being said I don't expect to get a proper Chicago dog outside of Chicago. The food here was ok. Nothing special. Dogs were just ok. Fries were frozen crinkle fries. They weren't bad, but any decent dog joint should have fresh cut. So basically these dogs were ok, but not special. If I'm back in town I'll get another two. I certainly won't go out of my way though. read more

Our motorcycle group, "The Between-the-Sheetz Gang" go to Curtis' Famous Weiners at least twice a year (riding from the Frederick, MD, area). We take great country roads to get there and back. While there, Gino the owner enthusiastically greets us with open arms, offers to have one of his employees take our picture with him, and treats us like kings. All the guys love going there, and not just for the dogs, (which are great!), but for the atmosphere, the great roads, and, of course, Gino! read more

Perfect place for a quick, low priced meal. Take out only, cash only, sidewalk dining at some umbrella tables. Don't expect any frills here but you don't need any. They only offer 4 toppings on your dog or cheeseburger: brown mustard, ketchup, raw onions or their own meat sauce, which is really like a finely chopped ground beef, not very saucy at all. They recommend you do the mustard, onions and sauce and let me tell you, that combo is really good... you need to try it! The crinkle fries are crispy and hot, burgers are small, about the size of a single McDonald's burger. My kids gobbled them up and we're perfectly satisfied. Finally, these guys make their own Vanilla Coke and it's so smooth. A must stop for a quick, unique meal! read more

We are not from the area, though the dogs were recommended on our Washington County page. We walked up to order, the gentleman working the window was a little impatient. We got hotdogs, and a small fry to split. The sauce on the Hot Dogs tasted very salty. The 13 fries were ok, at least they were crisp! Don't go on a hot day, there is no dine in, and those tables are hot, very hot. read more

We are new to town and were walking around one night, and I had to stop in there. At first we walked by, then saw the prices, so we HAD to stop and check it out. It's such a throwback! I feel like it's the kind of place I went to in NJ with my grandparents when I was little. But in a very good way. Nothing crazy special, but definitely not bad. Very soft fluffy bun, fun swivel chairs at the counter. Dog was pretty decent - for boiled. read more

We make a point to eat here every time we are back in town. Two with everything and fries Just wish they still had cherry smash This is a long standing location that needs to be visited! read more
