The owner, Dawn, uses Hummel hot dogs, which are already my favorite kind. The way she makes these reminds me so much of Blackie's! It had the perfect snap and was SO good!! She makes great chili too. Definitely an underrated, hidden gem here!

Place full of regulars--staff knew their names in fact. Word to the wise: dogs are huge! I probably shouldn't have ordered two, but I'm glad I did because they were so good. They come on toasted buns. There's a wall of specials or you can get a pretty straight up dog. We got the Portuguese special with mushrooms and onions, which was delicious! We take this route to visit family often, so we will definitely stop next time we are passing through.

It was good but I feel like the bacon doesn't go very well with the hot dog in general, next time I would choose a different option such as ground beef.

I don't know how they get away with it but they're famous for their Hummel footlong hot dog and their homemade relish. But you can't get the fresh homemade hot relish at this location as they have some other crap that they are serving in place of it. I don't know how they can get away with that? Not to mention many other menu items are no longer the same as the other Frankie's especially their fried broccoli. Is absolutely terrible at this location. Don't waste your time they overcook the hot dogs until it's a shriveled dry mess. I'm thoroughly disappointed and cannot believe that the Frankie's original owners are letting them get away with this.

Stopped here a few days ago with friend, Demanding Dan, who read about it in the Journal Inquirer…read more I'll call it a Pop Op, as the proprietor, Norm, seems to be retired, and getting a little long in the tooth. He's open from 11AM until 2ish, even in the winter if the temp is at least 40. The operation is under a tent in front of Norm's home. The dogs are Kayem which, incidentally, are served at Fenway. Norm's prices are a whole lot lower than those at Fenway Paak, though. He grills them, and also grills the Freihofer buns. Numerous choices for sides. I had a chili dog, and two w sauerkraut. DD had a chili dog and a cheeseburger. The beanless chili is homemade, and very good. The menu is eclectic.... whoever heard of a hd smothered w Reese's Peanut Butter? Next time. DD and I agreed we are both fans. Two things...cash only and don't be in a rush. He gets numerous regulars and is a solo act. If you like s good dog, definitely stop by.

Great Hot dogs!! Hours are limited. They are closed Mon.-Wed. but yes they are still open!read more

Denmo's never disappoints, the food is always amazing and the seafood is super fresh. I had the…read morewhole belly clams and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. They weren't cheap but fresh seafood never is and in my opinion priced accordingly to what you are getting. I've had the soft shell crab sandwich and lobster rolls in the past and they were delicious also. Hot dogs and hamburgers are really good too. Definitely don't skip on ice cream for dessert, it's really good. Always happy when they open for the season around Mother's Day each year. They get very busy but get the food out in a timely manner and they are always pleasant. You can sit at the outdoor tables or grab the food to go. Highly recommend Denmo's, they've been around for a very long time for a reason.

I had to try the famous dogs... they were big, great bun, and I LOVE the fact that you put on your own condiments at the next window (read: not from packets!!). Service was outstanding. Friendly. Clearly a source of family pride. It had that feel of the place we all know and love from our childhood. I regret only getting hot dogs as I really don't love skinless franks. I was praying for snap. But... they were good. I can't wait to try a burger or the famous clams. Next time - no dogs. All other things. I'm sure they'll be outstanding. Clearly they're doing something right.

If you're craving a classic, no-frills, absolutely perfect hot dog, Frankie's is the place to go…read more The dogs are grilled just right with that perfect snap, the buns are always fresh, and the toppings--whether you're into chili, onions, sauerkraut, or just classic mustard--are spot on every time. But it's not just about the dogs. Their fries are golden and crispy, the onion rings are addictive, and the milkshakes hit the spot. The whole menu delivers that nostalgic, satisfying, comfort-food goodness that keeps you coming back. Service is always friendly and quick, and the retro vibe gives the whole place a fun, laid-back feel. You can tell this place has been doing it right for years--and it shows. Frankie's really is the hot dog king, and once you try it, you'll totally understand why!

So I got a sideways look when I suggested that we try this…read moreplace out for lunch....but after our meal, he said that he'd never had a specialty hot dog before and really enjoyed this! How could you not like this place?! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an awesome menu. We tried the reuben dog, taco dog and guilty pleasure dog with the Cajun fries. Dogs are messy but fun.... loved the taco dog! Cajun fries were too salty but appreciate that they are made in house! (Wish they had sweet potato fries with a fun dipping sauce though!) Can't wait to go back and try more creations!

Riley's is much nicer inside than you'd ever expect from a hot dog place. There's a lot of space,…read moreeverything is clean, and the whole setup has a trendy industrial feel that works really well. Even the bathrooms were noticeably nice, particularly for such a fast-paced lunch spot. I had the Chicago Dog and the House Dog. We've been on the hunt for a good Chicago dog that's, you know... closer than Chicago, so I was glad to see one on the menu. It was quite good, but not what I expected based on the ones I remember from Chicago. This version leaned heavier on the relish and toppings, didn't have the bright green relish, and ended up a little messier overall. It did match exactly what the menu described, though, so that part's on me for not reading it more closely. All that micro-complaining aside, I'd get it again--though I may first try to work through the extensive menu a bit. There are some great options, and you should expect to struggle deciding (maybe check the menu in advance). The House Dog was delicious, but also pretty messy--definitely grab some napkins. Prices were a tiny bit higher than I'd expect for hot dogs, but the quality, presentation, and overall vibe seemed aligned with that. Overall, Riley's is a great option if you want a nicer sit-down hot dog experience with lots of choices and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd go back, especially to try more of the specialty dogs.
