Should you find yourself in southern Maine and suddenly the hankering for a hot dog begins to take hold, follow me . I'll take you to this unassuming red building in Cape Neddick neatly tucked off the roadside with a sign that beckons, stating matter of factly " FLO's Steamed Hot Dogs" herein you will find several ways to dress your HD but most famously the choice is often the classic FLO's HOUSE DOG. A Steamed dog , adorned with FLO's special relish , mayo, celery salt and ensconced in a nice steamed bun. The tang of the relish, the hit of the celery salt combined with the richness of the mayo really makes a delectable dog for the enthusiast. I also order a less dazzling but no less delicious Kraut dog which I promptly wolfed down with gusto. I am not sure what legacy Flo's holds amongst the hordes of Hot Dog devotees but she has brought this one to her table as a life long fan. And if leaving vacation land has you wishing your stay was longer you can take a jar of Flo's relish home with you as they offer jars of it for sale to enjoy anywhere you like. read more

This vs place doesn't look like much. A little road side place. But oh boy those hot dogs always hits right. Delicious.

Dogs are phenomenal. Relish looks absolutely disgusting but is so tangy and fantastic. I recommend the loaded dog or just the classic flo's style. This place is CASH ONLY and parking can be a pain but they've got a good system. Food is dirt cheap and doesn't take too long either. Just plan for no seating anywhere. read more

We have been coming to Flo's as long as I can remember.....Yummy but the hot dogs were salty this time. I think they may have added celery salt I realized after eating and looking at their updated menu this trip afterward. Parking was difficult -we came peak weekend -the lot was very full this time -parked on the street Bring your patience while waiting for your hot dogs and number to be called after prepaying **No bathrooms and cash only*** Only the outside area is open to customers. read more

Best dogs around. Sweet onion relish is amazing on just not the hotdogs but many other foods. Quick and easy service order at the window and wait for amazing hotdog. This a iconic place to eat a. If you are running for office you need to stop by and grab a dog or two. read more

We drove by this place at 11:07 and there was a HUGE line! They open at 11:00. So we decided we had to try it. We went closer to close, around 2:30. There was a short line, nothing like in the morning. The steamed buns were great and their relish was delicious. The hotdogs had a good snap to them. Nothing fancy, but nothing short of delicious! Will be back. read more

Heard a lot about their mayonnaise and special sauce hot dogs. They on a country road and very little signage. Rustic inside, probably has never been updated. Short and quick line. I ordered three with the house special sauce. I was hungry lol They were okay. I think I had higher expectations. read more

I tried Flo's Hotdogs making sure I ordered with Flo's special sauce/relish. Overall I'd call it "meh" and not worth the wait. The hotdog itself was nothing special. The special molasses based relish, was quite different. It just did not suit my taste buds. I'll stick with my normal yellow mustard and either pickle relish or celery salt. read more

This the best hot dogs you will EVER have. Get the flos special it is everything. My family and I have lived in York Maine for 10+ years and this our favorite place. The service is incredible, we love the whole family. The ambiance is cute, small, the place started in 1959 and has not lost its original touch and appeal. Love it here! read more

What a wonderful experience at Flo's. They've been there for 65 years and the reason is the fantastic hot dogs. I suggest the house special dog that they're known for. It comes with their relish, mayo, and celery salt. You order at the right window and pickup at the left window and don't forget your ticket. While waiting, stay behind the chains so you're not blocking the parking lot. But most importantly, enjoy your hot dog. read more

Flo's Hot Dogs - Hot Dogs Near Me - Cape Neddick, Maine

Hi Friends, For a place that claims to be the best hot dogs, I was certainly expecting something better than a dirty water dog (the homemade relish and mayo "house special" dog is okay). Interesting ordering system (seems as if they throw, say 30 dogs into the pot, then take enough orders to cover the dogs in the pot-- so you may wait 15 minutes if they just stopped taking orders). The decor is nonexistent, the staff seems really friendly with their regulars, while barely acknowledging the rest of us. Cash only, but the prices weren't horrendous. I'm not certain why the line snaked well outside the door and around the building when my pup and I drove past again after visiting Nubble Lighthouse. The hot dogs weren't that good, certainly not worth waiting more than a few minutes for. And Flo's only serves dogs, chips and drinks-- so if you're looking for anything else, go to one of the other multitude of restaurants in Cape Neddick, Ogunquit or Wells But Maine seems to be the land of lines, as I've encountered the same at Red's, and with a similar reaction. At least Red's has a variety on their menu See y'all at the crossroads read more

Finally got to stop at this iconic hot dog stand. Small space with a couple of stools. The two ladies behind the counter were very nice and spent a lot of time charting with regular customers. The hot dogs themselves were modest sized, with good snap and flavor. The relish was delicious. I understand how a place like this can be a cult favorite, like Philly Cheesesteak at Pat's or a hot dog at Nathan's, or Rutt's hut. Flo's didn't quite get to that level for me. Add 1 to 2 stars if you are a local or longtime customer. Would definitely consider buying a jar of the excellent relish. read more

We have been coming to Flos for the last 20 years and drive over 75 miles to get there. Every time it was always worth the wait and the drive, except for this time January 2026. It seems like the hot dog has changed, it has no snap and taste very odd. We always order the special with raw onions. We always love talking to Gail and she always teases us about our Texas accent. Oh well, not sure what happened or if this was an off day. SAD :( read more

This is a hotdog from a roadside building. It's takeout only and cash only. It's a very unassuming looking hotdog but tastes really good. The dog comes on a piece of white bread rolled into a bun shape. The relish is what makes the hotdog very good. There were about six people in line when we arrived . It's a constant flow of people stopping here. Parking is limited but since it's takeout, you only have to wait a little before getting a spot. Once you land a spot, go to the right window and place your order. Then wait for your number to be called and pick it up at the left window. read more

I am 72 years old, and I have been going to Flo's my whole life. This is a classic Maine experience - unpretentious, simple, dependable. I am not a big fan of hot dogs, but I love Flo's special with the works. I LIKE the fact that it has not been upgraded. It would not be Flo's if it changed. Down the road (Route One) there also used to be a fabulous clam shack: El's Fried Clams. Best fried clams ever. But long ago it got sold and changed, and is no more. But Flo's survives. Thank the Hot Dog God for that! read more

Stopped here for the first time today, the staff is SO KIND and my son said it's the best hot dog he's ever had. Their homemade relish and celery salt is also 10/10 read more

No tables. Cash only. Your typical little roadside spot that does one thing and does it well. I have to admit I was skeptical of the hype. I don't really like this kind of hotdog. But Flo's is magic. I love it. The end. read more

Legendary for a reason, don't miss it if you are in the area. Recommend 3-4 dogs to fill up.

Best hot dogs in Maine. A true hall in the wall right on Route 1. A definite stop on every trip to Maine. Staff is extremely friendly if you come in with a good attitude. Hot dogs are simple but amazing, we stop every time we're in Maine. Terrific prices. read more

We heard there was a popular hot dog stand that was worth trying out on Route 1, so after a day in Perkins Cove, my husband and I made it to Flo's with 15 minutes to spare before they closed. They steam their hot dogs, and I'm definitely a fan of the cooking style. It was a very simple, no frills menu, and I definitely like when a spot chooses to do only one thing and do it well. We're spoiled by the hot dogs we have locally made in CT, so we didn't feel that the hot dogs themselves surpassed what we're used to. However, we did really like the Flo's House Dog with their homemade relish, mayo, and celery salt for toppings. I'm sure this place holds a lot of nostalgia for many in the area. I was really surprised to see there wasn't any outdoor seating, not even a picnic table, so we just ate with our car does open since we were literally handed the hot dogs in a napkin. Glad we tried it, but wouldn't necessarily rush back. read more

My soon future son-in-law is in love with this place. We drove up from Boston to enjoy the hot dogs. The hot dogs are good but I don't know that they merit a 2 hr drive. There is no seating. You can eat standing by the stand but we took the hot dogs and Moxie soda and drove to a bear by beachside park. read more

I'm from Troy, NY area where they have the famous Charlie's Hot Dogs! and I would compare these Flo's famous Maine hot dogs all but a little sweeter to them. Both good both crunchy skinned hot dogs steamed rolls and plenty of sauce with onions. The only issue is the fast traffic on route 1 and limited parking mainly on the side of the road and standing in the rain!... Oh well we are in Maine! read more

Excellent vibe, service, and food. My late wife and I always made Flo's the first stop for lunch when we went to vacation in Ogunquit.

Friendly staff and delicious hotdogs. We were greeted by a nice woman who explained how things worked. Other local customers were there giving us tips of what and how to order too. Definitely a must try if you are in the area! read more

Flo's Hot Dogs is one of those iconic roadside dive type restaurants that will live in your memories long after you have visited this establishment. It is the kind of place that will come back to you as you are elderly, sitting in the shadows of memories looking out througg the window of the past. This is the kind of place that will help define a summer. Are the hot dogs rate? Well, they are good. They have the appropriate snap to the hot dog and the hot tub they are most proud of is their house special. I would definitely recommend getting the house special, as well as the loaded hot dog. You cannot go wrong with either. Please do not expect anything fancy, but then again there is nothing fancy about the humble hot dog. This is the perfect setting to enjoy a hot dog. You will not only enjoy the hospital, but you will enjoy this summer, you will enjoy being alive for that moment. I hope that while you may not really realize it at that moment, memories are being made. I would definitely recommend a visit here. read more

This place is ok. The boyfriend likes it more than I do. I find that the hotdogs are tasteless so you really do need to get their homemade relish on them. We were the first ones at the door when they opened yet they waited on the group of 4 behind us because they were local regulars. Pretty crappy. We won't return solely because of that treatment. read more

Fantastic hot dogs. The place is busy for a reason. The house dog may sound pretty odd, but give it a shot. I guarantee you'll want more. While you wait for your order, chat with the locals in line. The history is pretty cool too! read more

I dig it. Flo's way is the better way. I wanted to try both cause that's just how I live my life. It's their special relish that gets me, cause im not a steamed hotdog nor bun sort of lady. I'm a grilled hot dog sans bun crusher. I see the appeal if you dig the dogs, I am not a lover, but they were good. Though the bun a tad too over steamed/soft for me. It's the Maine way of life, I wouldn't change a thing about this place. No frills, simple and good. Locals do go there as I heard a man from Kittery was grabbing some dogs on a Monday afternoon. And I, a forever Mainer deep in my heart. read more

Omg so good. Amazing dogs. They were small but filling. I hope to come back and enjoy some more in the future.

I ALWAYS respect and get excited about places that have big followings. Old school, roadside stops that get rave reviews. I finally had a chance to check out Flo's recently, when my husband and I spotted an empty parking spot while driving north. There was a long line, of about 25-30 people, everyone (for the most part) was masked. There was one line for ordering and another spot for pick up. During the wait, there was a bit of fluster when staff would come out to alert patrons to move their cars. Its a tight squeeze with limited parking along route 1 and honestly if there is not an open spot, i'm not sure where else you would seek parking. Also, this is also a CASH ONLY business, which is important to know before you get there. There were a few postings indicating what was on the menu and how you should order according to their in-house protocol; "Know how many dogs you want in advance", "order according to number", "have cash READY". The line moved pretty quickly, and we went back to the car with 2 "House Specials" (we were limited by the amount of cash we had on hand). We like steamed hot dogs as much as the next person, and we did like these. The in house relish and general seasonings reminded me a bit of the "NY system" dogs sold around Providence, RI. Overall, a solid hot dog. Don't know if I would return. The lines are long and while many people love the "salty joint" aspect of this establishment, where customers are treated as though they know no better, it doesn't really work for me. read more

Amazing hot dogs with a nice place outside to sit and eat. The relish is an absolute must and I can't get enough of it.

I'm always suspicious of reviews that claim some resto or dish was the best ever, worth the wait, would drive 500 miles for this or that. Also, when there are many reviews at both ends of the star ratings, I gotta ask, "How could the experiences be so different?" So I'm always willing to give the place a try, particularly if my losses will amount to under ten bucks and I have a bottle of Omeprazole handy. Thus with Flo's. This appears to be a converted red chicken coop located between Ogunquit and York. As noted, the parking is a nightmare: few spaces and you have to back into oncoming northbound traffic to exit the place. This is an extremely dangerous maneuver, particularly if there is a lot of traffic. You may have to wait for a LONG time before there is a sufficient lull to let you safely back into oncoming traffic. I wouldn't mind doing this if the the dogs had been worth it, but sadly, they weren't. Here's what you get from Flo: a small tasteless dog - maybe six of seven per lb - not natural casing, steamed, and presented in a soggy steamed bun slathered with a small amount of undistinguished sludge. Oh, with some celery salt sprinkled on top as an additional condiment. So, that's Flo's. Perhaps it is a local institution, but so is the local lockup. Don't bother. Really. Continue on to York Beach and hit up Goldenrod's lunch counter. Now that's worth the drive. read more

Always worth the drive 2hr drive and wait since they are made to order. House special all the way! Since COVID, you now order and wait outside. read more

Finally got a chance to check out Flo's after all these years of saying a hot dog is a hot dog. Growing up in upstate New York it's all about mini dogs with mustard, onions, and meat sauce so the thought of trying a full length with relish, mayo, and celery salt just didn't sound appealing. I had to step outside my comfort zone but I gotta admit it was pretty tasty and left me wanting more. read more

I don't ever go out of my way to eat a hot dog, but these were something special. This is a small, roadside shack that's a tiny, cash only operation. You order at one window, pick up at another, and there's no seating. But, the hot dogs. A thing of beauty. Go for Flo's special/the original--sounds a little weird but it's slightly salty, slightly sweet and all around delicious. Definitely get two, they're on the small side. read more
