A group of volunteers go there on Tuesday after spending time at a local food pantry. The crunch burger, hot dogs, onion rings are favorites and fabulous. In warmer weather, we top it off with homemade ice cream. They are closing Nov 23 and we will miss our weekly yumminess! See you in March! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Unless you want to get yelled at by workers that are not wearing masks at all. The door was unlocked, and we try to go in do you order probably $100 worth of food. We got yelled at!... For even trying to enter. (Door was unlocked. No sign!). Again, the doors were unlocked! Definitely go elsewhere! Wish I could give it ZERO stars!!!!! Seriously! Message me from more info! read more

I have often overlooked this place since the adjacent Dover Dairy Maid is the most visible from Rt 46. In fact, I went for the very first time today despite having ice cream over the years next door. From Rt 46, it seems there is no parking, however, they have a spacious private lot behind their building. Hot dogs, Texas wieners, hamburgers, fries with all the trimmings and in all different combinations are offered at very reasonable prices. The outside seems small yet, it is deceptive. Inside is clean, well organized and offers seating at their countertop which runs along the front and side windows of the building. Service was friendly and polite. The cooks on the grill were working hard and enjoying their work and it showed ! I tried one hot dog with kraut, mustard, and onions, a Texas wiener with their Texas sauce and a small order of fries. Everything was fresh, hot and nicely put together. Fries were crispy and hot as they were freshly made. The dogs were tasty and had a nice snap to them. The Texas sauce was well made, mild with plenty of finely ground beef. I think I prefer my hot dogs with mustard and kraut but, it was a nice change. On a mid October day, it was a nice bonus to be able to eat outside. The eating area was neat, clean and surprisingly peaceful. Hope I make it back before they shut down for the season. Cash Only !! read more

This is one of my favorite summer places to eat! I have been going here since I was a child. If your in the area and want a good place for burgers & dogs, this is a great place to go. They have the best ice cream around next door at Dover Dairy Maid. read more

Greasy food glory! This place is a must for your cheat days. Cute interior with checkered floors and bar stools. They have special combinations for their hot dogs and burgers. Seems like their specialities are their Chilli and Texas sauces. We ordered 3 different hot dogs (relish, chilli, and Texas sauce), a birch beer (fountain), and an order or fries with Texas sauce. Dogs were yummy and grilled perfectly. Chilli sauce trumped the Texas sauce in my opinion. First time having Texas sauce and I feel it needed a bit more salt. Fries could also be a bit crispier. Overall, food was a hit! Quick and friendly service. Good for takeout. Cash Only. Park in the small lot or on the street. Great place to dine outside on a nice day. And they're connected to Dover Dairy, so finish off your meal with ice cream next door! read more

Ugh, died and gone to hot dog heaven. It is no divey Rutt's Hut (#1 Best Hot Dog Forever), but their hot dogs are delicious. Between my manfriend and myself, we had two Chicago dogs, a plain hot dog, a cheeseburger, a mini burger, an order of onion rings/fries, small fries, a side of their in-house Texas sauce, a medium pepsi and a medium iced tea. I had the plain mini-burger, and it is similar to what another reviewer noted as well - a better White Castle burger. Their onions are grilled into the bottom of the patty. However, the regular sized burger came with the most beautiful sesame seed dotted bun. It looked fake, and a tear almost came to my eye. The Chicago dog at Dover Grill is the best Chicago dog I've had outside of Chicago. It's not necessarily a standard Chicago dog - the onions are minced, you get a jalepeno instead of a sport pepper, pickle slices instead of a spear - but the essence of the world's best topped hot dog was still there. Now let's discuss their crinkle cut fries and perfect onion rings and the perfect half and half combo. Perfect. We got the Texas side ($1.10!) on the side to try with the fries, and I'm not sure how different the chili sauce is. We'll have to give it a go the next time. There is indoor counter seating that lines the windows, and plenty of outdoor seating as well. Solid hot dog place. Cash only. There is plenty of parking available. read more

This is a seasonal business - so closed in the late fall and winter. Opened again, they are a "hot dog stand" with tables outside. They also do take out. They feature "hot dogs all the way" - a favorite that began in Paterson NJ in the 1930s. They also have hamburgers, cheesesteaks and other simple fare. Their onion rings are good too. Side by side with the Dover Dairy Maid, you can have a pleasant meal and a milk shake or ice cream. So stop by. I have been coming here for more than 20 years and am always satisfied. read more

Love their Chicago dog & sliders! Boylan's draft birch beer too. Only open from spring through fall, so catch it when you can. Cash only.

After months of my friends heckling me to check this stand out, i finally caved in and went. And I'm sorry i did, so long story short they served me probably the most disgusting hot dog I've ever had, dry almost stale bun, gross (all beef?) hot dog, and nasty chilli. Maybe they suck at making dogs, but whatever, and my friends insisted the sliders were lit. They were good going in, but not good by the time i got home.. The only reason they get 2 stars is for having Boylans root beer on tap & ice cream next door. read more

Moved here in July, this place does NOT disappoint. It is good no matter what the day or time is! It's not too pricey, and it's always made fresh. The workers are nice, the outside seating area is clean, and the building is just the cutest! Just make sure you stop by an ATM first, they are cash only! read more

Bring cash!!! The Dover Grill is great for a casual lunch/dinner. Everything is delicious and cooked to order. The staff is friendly and if you have room - stop in next door for ice cream. read more

Top of it's class for outstanding dogs, burgers, fries, etc. Outdoor seating and Dover Dairy next door are pluses. Can't go wrong. Definitely eat there if you can as the food doesn't travel well in my experience (sogs up). read more

Dover Grill - Yum!!!! - Burgers Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

Hot dogs are tough. Everyone has an opinion about what makes the best dog. For me, I know a good dog when I eat one. And you can get a good dog here. Been several times over multiple summers. Chili dogs for me. Plain dogs for my son. Fries and rings. The dogs have good snap. The chili, while not spicy, has a good kick of cumin. Fries and rings are tasty. Everything is prepared to order. The food isn't sitting around waiting for you to arrive. Great local spot that has been around for ages. See you next summer. read more

I enjoyed the outdoor bench seating with umbrella protection from the sun. There is a parking lot for convenient parking. I was happy to learn that's the hot dogs are 100% beef. I ordered 2 chili and cheese hot dogs. The chili is homemade but doesn't pack a lot of the flavor. The processed cheese which I'm not proud to have consumed complimented the chili which gave it flavor. My son and I shared a small chili fry. The fries were just okay as the chili was bland. We added salt and pepper for taste. If I'm ever in the mood for a hot dog again I would revisit this establishment. I'd try a hot dog with their spicy onions instead of ordering the chili an cheese dog again. I went during the day and the wait time was minimal and it wasn't crowded. read more

I went there today and they were inexplicably not open. Possibly closed for the winter months, or just closed on the weekends off-season? The Dover Dairy Maid is closed for the season, it has sign "see you in March" but nothing here. read more

The best little burger and hot dog place around. Their cheeseburger sliders are sooooo good - March is my favorite month because they open and I can get my full of deliciousness! When I'm done I like to hop on over to get some ice cream too!! read more

The place is filthy. Simple food that you can grill at home, except not as good as done at home. Location, location, location - THAT'S what keeps this place alive. The burgers and hotdogs are just below average. The fries are blah. Go to Stewart's 5 minutes east on 46 and you'll thank me. read more

Amazing hot dogss. The make fresh juices as which goes along with the meal. Would def go again

This has always been a great place however this visit was awful and we won't be back. Not sure who was cooking if they're new or old. My usual onion burger had thw Soggiest roll ever taste it like a big mush of boiledness French fries came out cold so I brought them back and asked for hot fries looks like they threw those back in the fryer which you cannot do because they come out greasy and overdone which they were so they weren't really edible. Hotdogs with the sauces we're not the same as in the past. That's the end of this place read more

This place has been around since before I met my spouse over 20 years ago. The burgers are so freaking good. We all wait for the spring season when they will open again. The fries with gravy are so good. Don't forget to go Nextdoor and grab some delicious ice cream too. read more

Can't go wrong with dover grill. Time and time again it'll always be a local favorite. If you're feeling ambitious you can go next door for a nice ice cream treat at well. Chili dog with the mac and cheese nuggets. Booyaaah read more

This place is a well-loved local staple. It's a really nice and conscience by place to grab a dinner or lunch or share some 1/2 and 1/2 fries and onion rings with a friend. The only problem can be seating, since there are only bar stools inside and about 6 picnic tables outside which are sometimes occupied by customers from Dover Dairy Maid next door. All of our friends who have movies from the area miss this place and remember it fondly. It's just a really great local spot for simple meals. read more

The food is "just ok". I've had a cheeseburger that was decent, a hotdog that anyone can make on a grill. The fries were good, not great. I've given this place three tries. Don't be fooled. This place only gets positive reviews because of "nostalgia ", NOT due to objectivity. Very crowded and, frankly, it doesn't appear very clean. Stay home, fire up your grill and you've duplicated DOVER GRILL - only BETTER! read more

Love, Love, Love this place. I especially miss it since I dont work in the area anymore. It's a seasonal place that closes down in the winter. Their mini burgers are exceptional and blow away White Mana or any other place I have been to. Their regular burgers are great. Their dogs are above average. Cheese steaks, Mmmmmmm but not quite Tony Lukes or Campos (for NJ though it's one of the best). I will go out of my way to go here soon. Best all around greasy food. It takes a while to make the food but you can sit outside on a nice day and wait. Be prepared to wait as this place gets super busy during lunch. After your filling, fattening meal, you can go next door and have some ice cream... read more

Nearby so decided to try. Food was not good. 90% of food went in trash. Will not return.

If you love hotdogs as much as me definitely go to Dover grill! Very cute setup for outside dining as well as indoor seating. I got the hotdog all the way number 3. This had their Texas sauce, cheese and onions and mmmmm mmmm mmmm I can't say enough good things about it!!!! Skip Stewarts down the street and try this gem! You won't be disappointed! read more

I live local and I'm also a burger lover. So this is kinda my go to spot. The burgers are cooked to order. The Dover Grill is a seasonal spot with a Ice cream Place next door. CASH ONLY read more

This is fast food heaven. The hot dogs are out of this world good. My favorites are the reuben and chili cheese dogs. They have the snap effect. I always order the cheese fries with a side of gravy. read more

Not sure what the hype is about this place. I've taken my family here once. Haven't been back. Philly cheese steak was dry, so was the hamburger. Hot dog rolls were inedible due to being so soggy. Only decent thing ate was the cheese fries. The seating is far from none and the service area was extremely small. They do not accept anything but cash, making dining even tougher. read more

Holy ish. This place hits the spot if you're looking for something greasy and so not paleo. Their cheesesteak was fantastic but the mini slider is what stole my heart. It was a bigger version of the White Castle sliders but made with more love. They only take cash which is very inconvenient. Considering that it's 2016, they should get with the times. Will definitely be coming here more often to get my chunk on. read more

Finally I have found a place that has great hotdogs thats not near the shore or in south jersey =) Came here on a sunny day and the outdoor seating was awesome, it is very similar to having a nice bbq at some friend's yard. I tried the chili dog and straight up hotdog both of which were not of the footlong variety but were still delicious. the chili on it tasted real and not like the fake canned stuff you get at stewarts. The mini burgers were freakin delicious! its like white castle, but done right. You can taste the burger inside! yuuuum. Lastly the gravy n fries. How come no1 ever introduced me to this? crunchy fries with just enough soggyness from the gravy. Can't wait to come back with coworkers and friends. read more

Bacon Double Cheeseburger is phenomenal, the sliders are dam good, the Texas Wiener is fair (which is fine since this is not a "hot dog joint") everything is made to order. The fries are amazing, crinkle cut, always hot and crispy, the crinkles pick up the ketchup just right ;) A classic road side restaurant with a varied menu, I have never had a meal here I did not enjoy! My entire family loves the Dover Grill read more

Awesome place. Resembles an old time hot dog place. Everything is made to order and the entire menu it's pretty awesome. The Dover dairy is right next door and is awesome for a post meal dessert. Warning: they don't take credit cards make sure you have cash. read more

If you are in the mood for all kinds of burgers and dogs this place is for you. The selection is better than Stewarts down the road. They have good cheesesteaks and fries too. I know this is Dover but all the hype around safety is way overblown. Come on down and have a burger and cheese fries. Their chili dog is also worth the trip. read more

I can't believe I've lived in the area for 10 years and have never been to the Dover Grill before this past weekend. I have to hand it to Yelp for helping me find this place that is sure to become a regular lunch and dinner spot for my friends and family. The food is tasty and fresh. The hamburgers, hotdogs, and fries were prepared well and fairly quickly. The cheesesteak we ordered was good, but seemed a bit 'light'. The outdoor seating is great for when the weather is nice, otherwise there is indoor barstool and counter seating. I'm looking forward to trying some more of their menu items! read more

Talk about an All-American place! Dover Grill serves up burgers, hot dogs, chili cheese fries, corn dogs and more! All at an affordable price too. The corn dog had a donut-like coating (not the best corn dog I've ever had but would satisfy a corn dog craving). The Texas Burger was basically a burger with their special sauce on top. Chili cheese fries were topped with generous amounts of chili and cheese. Counter seating indoors and picnic tables outdoors provide ample seating for all. There is a small parking lot across the street however street parking is also available. And for dessert, you can just hop next door for some delicious ice cream. read more
