The place itself features a total of six stools, three looking out the window and three facing the counter. There's enough standing room for maybe six more folks, but this is not the place to go for a family sit down. However, if you want a hot meal, you can do much worse. The employees were both very friendly, the food came out super quick, and it was generally tasty. It's a perfect spot for someone working in the Plainfield area to pop into for some quick grease and carbs.

So, it's been a few years since I've been back to Middlesex Texas Wiener, but I was in the area…read moreyesterday and I needed lunch so I hit one of my old favorites. I used to come here with my Dad so I've got fond memories of the place. When I walked in it felt like it hadn't changed since the 80s. And don't get me wrong...that's NOT a negative comment. There was a short line when I got there, but it moved quickly and I put in my order for one chili cheese dog and one with chili, kraut and mustard. I've always loved the dogs here. I know they used to use Grote and Weigel dogs and they SEEM like the same ones I've always loved so perhaps they are still the same. Either way, the dogs were GREAT. I dont mind traveling for dogs, but this is a little outside my normal range to be too regular. However, if I'm in the area (and there are actually a bunch of great places in the area) I'd certainly come back. Great dogs, fast service, great ambiance, and for me...and solid nostalgic memories.

The food is pretty good from here. You can eat indoors, but there is not much space outdoors. I…read morealways get mine to go. As of recently, I have not been the biggest fan of the food as much as I used to be. The burgers are delicious! However, I love the popcorn /fried shrimp & now more than I've ever noticed before, it's low-key (actually pretty fn gross} gross biting into the shrimp & seeing the shrimp's not removed! Eww ! Even the diner in Boro, manville & Applebee's remove the crap from the crustacean‍. I won't be ordering the shrimp anymore, although I took a gamble tonight (probably stupid on my part considering it's been happening for like over 3 months now whenever I order it) ! Also, no disrespect to the business or staff, but the parking lot is TERRIBLE! Make sure you don't go on a "car show" night or during rush hours, or you'll be screwed trying to find a spot! Bet. The employees are all really kind & polite though. At least the female cashiers I've dealt with were super cool. We even complimented each other's nails & had a short & enjoyable conversation (as they were not busy at the time & she had free time) . They are very kind ppl. Besides the shrimp s*** & crummy parking, this place is decent. Please start removing the poop from the popcorn shrimp. I don't want to be full of shrimp . . Thx! Have a great day & shout out to the awesome chick who hooked me up with the soda I forgot to call in to my order! Staff is super respectful & helpful. I'll be back but ONLY for burgers, grilled cheese, & chicken tenders, & the best thing on the menu imo : cheese fries . I might have to get my shrimp elsewhere! I hope not. We'll see... I risked ordering it tonight but haven't opened it yet! No whammys... no whammys... no shrimp waste...pleaseeeee... fingers crossed haha. Idk I did not open the bag yet. Praying for some good yummy clean shrimp! Not the ones that uhh well, full of crap (no pun intended).

**Green Monster Sauce has Avocado**…read more I usually stop by their Westwood location and get their hotdogs. They're fairly priced and pretty good. However, I was in Westfield with my wife today and we decided to order. It was early afternoon and after placing 2 orders they came back with certain hotdogs not available. So their website was inaccurate. On the 3rd order, I decided to get a Cheeseburger and my wife a Cheesesteak. You would think that a Cheesesteak would be what you expect, it's not something that's uncommon. 1950s had this Green Monster Sauce that everyone was raving about. So we thought, okay, it looks good. When we picked up our order and were finally eating our meal, my wife realized that the Green Monster Sauce had Avocado. She's allergic to Avocado! We are typically cautious when ordering due to allergies, but in no way prior to ordering we had an ounce of thought that a Cheesesteak would contain Avocado. Going back to the restaurant to explain the situation we were met with resistance and unwillingness to assist with the matter. And during this time the website had update the name from Green Monster Sauce to Monster Avocado Sauce... really?... anyone can do a google search and see this was marketed for weeks as Green Monster Sauce. I'd hate to think that they changed it on the spot while giving us a hard time regarding the order. But when you put the pieces together, what else happened? They finally remade the order and substituted the "Green Monster Sauce" to Chipotle Sauce with a 10% discount in price. Fair? I think not. But because we were in town for an event and hungry, we opted to just go with it so we can have our meal. Although I enjoy their hotdogs and their burger, due to this experience, I will never be coming back.

I had a hotdog with ketchup, sauerkraut, and candied bacon. Nice size hot dog and the toppings were plentiful and delicious. The bread was fresh. The highlight of my visit was the staff. Jessica was at the front counter and she was such a pleasure to meet. Every restaurant needs a Jessica! She was so friendly, bubbly and full of life. I'm introverted but I was so comfortable just chatting away with her the entire time we waited for food. Additional members of the staff came up front and they were so kind and friendly as well. I think I found my new hot dog spot!
