    Chili dogs
    John M.

    Stopped in for a first visit here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice service and comfortable tables make a nice road side setting. My chili dogs on toasted buns were very good and will have to be back for their apparently wonderful french fries and burgers

    Hot Honey chicken Bacon Sandwich
    Diane W.

    Back again & couldn't pass Dog Daze without stopping for lunch. Today we tried the Hot Honey Bacon Chicken Sandwich & the Shrimp Corn Chowder - absolutely outstanding, cooked to order & delicious! We can never eat here w/o the fries as they are the best anywhere! It was chilly so before we left we ordered some mini churros & warm apple cider - WOW! The dulce de Leche dip for the churros an excellent touch! The best lunch stop in CT - don't pass on Rt7 w/o stopping in for a delicious, affordable meal with the friendliest owners!

    Yummmmm

    Born and raised in Chicago, I'm extremely critical of "hot dog stands" especially if they don't serve the almighty Vienna Beef products. Dog Daze has turned me around - love the griddled bun, the seasoned tasty coating on the onion rings and the CORN DOG (salivating at the memory) - devoured so quickly a photo could not be taken. It was a bit tricky to get in and out due to the location and the road traffic made me a bit skittish but that's not their fault. Love the seating areas they set up outside - will be back when it's nicer out to enjoy!

    Wilton Dog - Melted Cheese, Bacon, and Onions with Hand Cut French Fries
    Samantha V.

    I enjoyed Dog Daze. I had a hot dog with spicy mustard, my fiancé had the Wilton dog which had melted cheese, onions, and bacon. Then we shared the hand cut french fries. Im never sure whether to start with the semi bad or the good. I guess its better to end with the good. The only two semi bad things were the hot dogs were small and the order took too long to get to us. Now the good things the hot dogs were cooked nicely with a toasted bun. The bacon that went on the Wilton dog was crispy. The french fries were da bomb definitely homemade. I also liked that all the tables their were signs saying no dogs allowed. While I love seeing a dog at a park. I dont want one roaming around while Im eating lunch. Dog owners seem to be oblivious but just because I say cute dog doesn't mean I want your dog under my table, rubbing against me or licking me.

    Beautiful summer day drive down Route 7 near Wilton CT, passed the DD Cafe and decided to get a lunch snack. Plenty of sit-down restaurants to grab a sandwich or meal along the way, but the hot dog stand was calling me! No frills, order a 'dog' specialty at the window, and sit at one of their picnic tables or stool by the shack to enjoy their eats. EZ on the wallet, cost averages ~$10pp or less. Hot Dogs are ~$4-6, and then add a side of fries (think fresh cut and they looked fantastic) or drinks if desired. I got a Chicago Dog and a Chili Dog. Hot dogs were grilled fresh, served on a grilled/toasted bun with toppings. Chicago had mustard, pickles, diced onions, sliced tomatoes and jalapeños. Chili was bean-less, and then added fresh diced onion and mustard. Both were very tasty but my favorite was the Chicago Dog as it had a nice kick from the jalapeños, plus the toppings blended excellently! If you're a Hot Dog fan, check out DDC ... and also suggest to bring your favorite dog companion with you to enjoy the outdoor ambience. Enjoy!!

    These in my opinion are the best dogs around. I stop here almost everytime I drive by for a hot dog and an a&w root beer. My go to is usually the chicago dog which is pictured below, but today I also tried the Wilton Dog (chili, cheese, onion, bacon) and it was so good I forgot to grab a photo lol Ps the onion rings are delicious

    Rodeo dog

    Delicious hot dogs. We tried the Reuben and Rodeo. The bacons were crisp and the bun was toasted. They know how to top these dogs well. It was a great spot to stop by after a hike nearby.

    Unfortunately they cater to those without dietary issues. I asked about gluten free roll and such and the response was less than pleasant.

    Chez Lenard

    Chez Lenard on Main Street in Ridgefield is the most famous hot dog cart in CT, and one of the most…read morefamous hot dog spots of any type in CT. The story goes Martha Stewart pulled up so she could try a couple of the garnishes, liked what she tasted and invited Owner Mike to participate in a hot dog segment of her show. Today, Chez Lenard has a decades old cart on Main Street and two additional carts for catering or events. I ordered Le Hot Dog Choucroute Alsacienne (which has sauerkraut and a high quality Dijon Mustard) and Le Hot Dog Epicie Garniture Suisse (which boasts a traditional cheese fondue and a horseradish sauce). After a bit of research, these seemed like the most classic Chez Lenard toppings. The toppings were all very tasty. Chez Lenard uses Hebrew National dogs which are ready in a steam bath when you order. Among the best known and loved CTSpots, this is probably my least favorite combo of dog selection and cooking technique. There's no snap and it has one of the softer textures you'll find. I understand that one of the movable carts has a grill. The buns are Martin's potato rolls, which are fine. Chez Lenard enjoys an important history in Ridgefield. They've been a source of jobs for young adults. A lot of people have been going there for a long time because downtown Ridgefield is a cool place to visit. Somebody who lives closer to Ridgefield might give it a bit of a bump because it's been an important pat of their lives. Being a visitor, I can only go by the dog. 4.5 Stars for the toppings. 3.5 Stars for the dog itself. 4 Stars overall

I tried the Le hot dog Execelsior Veneziano ( onions and peppers with cheese) and Le hot dog facione Mexicaine (with beef chili) they were both well prepared and delicious.

He takes what opportunity he gets to go to Super Duper Weenie! And I can't even fault him. The ingredients are wholesome, the production is perfect, and the atmosphere/ vibe is genuine. What a delight to cozy up to the kitchen and talk with the Celebrated Chef-Owner Gary & his Team; also to connect with "The Regulars", who adore this unique place! My indulgence is a small of the French Fries, and also the weekly variety of house made Clam Chowder. Who knew there are THREE kinds?

Nothing to run for though. I got the Dixie dog $7 which was underwhelming the chili was mid at best and the slaw wasn't even average. The Hot dog had no bite despite being cooked on a griddle. The highlight was the Rhode Island clam chowder and it wasn't the greatest. Plenty of clams but very chewy. The broth was flavored but not exactly the best. This place used to be on Guy's Diner drive in and dives but it has fallen from those standards. Staff seem to have changed as well since those days. The cashier was amazing but that's were the amazement ends. Went in around 3 o'clock, food came out fast. A plus, but let down in quality. Guess some places can't hold the standards they started with.
