George's Coney Island Lunch - It needs no title. iYKYK - Hot Dogs Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

A chili dog for only $4!? Magnificent. Haven't seen those prices since Sonic #1. $14 and I got two dogs and a water. The dogs were pretty good. I haven't had a hotdog in general in over a year. So it was like a home coming for me. When in Rome right? Take that into account when reading this review. read more

What an amazing find! I visit Worcester for work maybe once or twice a year. Did some research and I wanted to try. Server was very nice and helpful with the menu. The menu was small but easy to understand. Server recommended getting two or 4 hot dogs... To me, I thought that was a lot and only wanted 1 but super glad I got 2. Very cheaply priced and very delicious. Coming from California, I wished we had these. read more

I recently visited George's Coney Island in Worcester, after seeing that Tasting Table named George's the best hot dog in Massachusetts. They opened in 1918. And you can feel the old school vibes. They have old booths where you can take your dogs after you order. They also have counter service in the side room. George's grills Kayem Hot Dogs. Kayem originated in Mass btw. I always appreciate loyalty to in state makers. The classic George's dog is mustard, meat sauce and chopped onions. Standard white bun. I've seen mixed messages online about how you're supposed to order that dog. I've seen "All the Way." (Which is also how they say it in Providence). I've seen "Three Up", which is a new one for me. But the Menu actually says that a Coney is mustard, meat sauce and onions. So I ordered two coneys and everything worked out fine. The hot dogs were good, both in terms of the components, and in the sum of their parts. My dogs were not particularly snappy. I could see a grill mark. So perhaps it just needed a bit more turning so that it was more well done. Kayem is a good hot dog in terms of flavor. I prefer some other New England brands though. The meat sauce is good, but the seasoning didn't pop for me in the way that my favorite meat sauces do. I'm sure part of this is what you grew up with though. George's is a cool, old school, hot dog joint, that I imagine still does it like it always has. If that's how you like your hot dog spots, I suspect you'll love George's. 4.25 Stars read more

Wanted to try the real Georges before going into ballpark. Pulled in and parked behind the building. Time around 12:15 and a short quick moving line. I saw a special online but didn't see in the restaurant. It was 2 dogs and one of just about everything else (pie, pickle, chips, drink). I was not that hungry and really wanted to focus on the dogs. They were alright. To tell the truth I was really excited about the Orange Dry. It's like an Orangina only better! George's is a place if you grow up in W the dogs just taste better because they remind you of good times. It's like anyone's favorite pizza joint at the beach. I would definitely go back. Great interior. ALL BOOTHS! Who doesn't love that? read more

Thumbs up for the vibe and the history of this classic lunch spot. Cool seeing the old wooden benches with carved initials, the worn Formica table tops, and that bright glowing retro jukebox. They do more than dogs - you can get burgers and sandwiches too. We opted for hot dogs of course - they're grilled and come with a few basic options for toppings: chili, cheese (not whiz but American slices), relish, onions, mustard, ketchup. No sauerkraut unfortunately which is my fave. The dogs are kind of on the salty side but overall not bad but not the best dogs either imo. However, they're inexpensive and tasty enough and the old building and decor makes it a lot of fun. read more

George's Coney Island Lunch - Front entrance - Hot Dogs Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

We went to George's last night before the baseball game. It's not in a very nice neighborhood first off.... We past a drug deal and a hooker being propositioned on our walk there from the parking lot. Once inside it was a very old cool looking landmark kind of place the service was fantastic, we got there just before the crowd rolled in. The line grew quickly but these guys were pros.... The line moved quickly. It wasn't unusual to see guys ordering 6 dogs! the food is very good and it's not expensive at all. For dessert we had a homeless guy come up to us and asked if we would buy him dinner. A definite first time/last time experience! read more

George's Coney Island Lunch - 1 dog with the works and a grilled cheese - Hot Dogs Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

It's a Worcester institution. You have to go at least once. Hot dogs are good, though I prefer the BBQ sauce at Hot Dog Annie's as opposed to the chili. In any event, you'll get a good meal that won't break the bank. It's iconic. read more

I did a stupid thing. I ordered a Burger at a Hot Dog joint. I've had their hot dogs and they are sensational! I wanted to switch it up. What's better than a griddled burger with cooked onions on a griddled roll? Well, I was told only raw onions. Ok, fine..... So, it came on a non griddled bun, with the raw onions. I don't believe they have a griddle. It felt steamed. The meat tasted sour and I only ate half. I should've ordered a hot dog..., Service is always fast and pleasant. Learned a lesson. read more

George's Coney Island lunch is probably one of the best places to go in Worcester for a quick easy hotdog or cheeseburger meal or a quick beer with that meal. The service is unbelievably fast straight off the grill and into your hands within seconds. The vibe is always awesome, and I love their chocolate milk in a glass bottle to die for.

A few days ago my husband was saying he wanted a good coney. We were in Worcester for a cheer competition. We found this place while stopped at a restaurant light on our way home. We decided to stop in. So glad we did. You stand in line like a lunch line order your food and take to your seat. No waiting for a server. The line went very quickly. Talked to a nice local guy in line who said this is a staple in the area. If your ever in the area go in you will not be disappointed read more

"I'm a Coney Island baby Man, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you" (Lou Reed) I attended a Tuesday June 21 Golf outing dinner in Worcester County, but it wasn't the dinner I was looking forward to. I planned to have lunch at George's Coney Island but was mega-disappointed when I learned they were closed on Tuesdays. So today I did the next best thing and had lunch at the George's Coney Island stand inside Polar Park Stadium. I mean, it was still a hot dog at the old ballpark, right? It was a real wave of nostalgia for me, because I lived in Worcester from 1977 to 1982, and let's just say I had a few lunches at their iconic Southbridge Street restaurant. I SOOOOOOOO wanted to visit again! George's Coneys at the ballpark are just $4, which is a buck less than the other hot dog stands, because the Coneys are a teense smaller than a conventional hot dog. We ordered two - one with just mustard for the Mrs. and one with ketchup, onions, and relish for me. We also split a giant pickle (sliced into 4 spears) for just $3. So at just $5.50 each we had a fantastic lunch! Its great to see that George's is still around, I hope to visit their Mother Ship one of these days. read more

It is a local legend. You won't get blown away but you will get decent dogs at an ok price. Not much for parking around it. It's a cool place to check out and say you've been, but not really worth a special trip. Price is ok. Service is hit or miss. But it's a neat looking classic inside. read more

I've been going here since I was a child, nearly half a century. The hot dogs are very well known and delicious and a nostalgic experience for most customers. I was raised to get hot dogs with chocolate milk, that was how you ate at Coney Island. They have worked so hard over so many years to maintain the same experience and they succeeded in my opinion. Highly recommend a visit whenever you can. Enjoy!! read more

It's not every day that you encounter a restaurant that is truly a relic of the past, a living testament to a time and place that once was. But today was one such day. Stepping into George's Coney Island Lunch was like being transported into a fusion of different eras. There's an eclectic charm to the decor here. A 1950s neon sign on the outside. A 1970s jukebox inside. Wooden seating with countless names carved into them, almost like embroidered graffiti. Even the employees were dressed in such a way that it seemed like I was in a different time period than Worcester, MA in 2024. But here me and my wife were in January 2024, admiring this gritty but wonderful establishment, because so many of these dives no longer exist. So much were we in awe that we forgot the reason why we walked in--to eat food. Before too long the waitstaff prodded us to put in our order. We each had two hot dogs with the "works," which the Worcesterites(?) call "up", plus cheese. This was undoubtedly one of the best hot dogs I have ever had. Its great taste was due in large part to the hearty and flavorful chili sauce, which really brought the whole thing together. And even though they just slapped a slice of half-melted American cheese on the bun, rather than using a cheese sauce that hot dog joints traditionally have, it was amazing. Together we scarfed down four dogs in no more than 7 minutes. I wish we had gotten more food, such as the homemade baked beans or the "half-sour" pickle. They don't serve fries, but with such a unique set of options, there is really no need for them. A crucial part of what makes this place great is that is 100% a local's joint. The pride for Worcester is absolutely clear. It serves many varieties of Polar Seltzer, which was founded in Worcester. They also have "Wachusett" brand chips, which originated within Worcester County. Moreover, the entire place is a nostalgic celebration of what Worcester once was, and, presumably, what locals hope it will become again: a strong and vibrant industrial town. I do not know enough about Worcester's history or its present state to say anything else on that topic, but I would like to return soon and learn more about this historic city. During moments like these I can't help but wonder how long these kinds of places will be around. The precarious economic state in which we find ourselves is not only a challenge to the average consumer; it's also suffocating the average small business. Rising inflation, demographic shifts, and changes in consumer taste make it far more difficult now than 10 years back for small business like George's to turn a decent profit. Yet I get the sense that the proud Worcester locals will take care of this timeless hot dog spot. It is a treasure worth saving. read more

Truly an iconic adventure for a hot dog. Prices are more than reasonable-I went for the hotdog because thats what they're known for but ill assume their other menu items are tasty because the hot dogs were delicious! Street-metered parking in front but its like $1 for 2 hours so you'll have plenty of time. If you have time-go read the walls for all the history of the restaurant. Just a good solid meal. read more

Need melted cheese wiz or cheese option... I like cheese dogs with onions, mustard... they only offer a slice American cheese option ? Not melted cheese . Decent for 5.50 Place looks 1940's and hasn't changed since... all original and old cash register still on counter in bar area next to new computer POS system...

George's Coney Island Lunch - Love the old school nostalgia - Hot Dogs Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

I get anxious going into clearly iconic diners with a lot of local regulars (my own thing about feeling like an outsider lol), but that quickly went away here. The woman who rang me out was super nice and everyone behind the counter seemed to have a steady flow going, definitely a well-oiled machine! Truly a blast from the past, all the old school booths covered in over 100 years of signatures and little notes from customers was so cool to see. Food? Awesome. Solid hot dog, gorgeous homemade mac and cheese, and prices that gave me a sigh of relief its heartwarming to see this place going strong, well loved, and able to keep more than reasonable prices. Ill be back for sure! read more
