Came here on a Friday afternoon, my friend suggested this spot. I checked out the pics and reviews and was looking forward to lunch. There was a line inside but it went by pretty quick. Ended up getting the chili Texas wiener and plain with sauerkraut and mustard. The hot dogs were boiled so there was no 'snap' but still very solid and for the price, very good value. The chili is not too spicy and has a lot of flavor. If you're around the area and in the mood for some hot dogs, I highly recommend Hank's Franks. * Parking on premise * Outdoor seating - first come first seated * Very Reasonable pricing read more

10/10 they are super nice and food is amazing have to get the fried Oreo's and Texas wiener

Alton Brown called them the one place in the country to experience a perfect hot dog experience. I can't add to that except that I've gone to most hot dog places in nj and I still drive an hour to come here. read more

Finally tried Hank's Franks after driving past it so many times. We stopped in on a Friday at around noon and there were a few people coming and going. I read that the most popular topping is the potato so we got one of those , one with potatoes and hot Italian onions, and a hot chili Texas wiener. It was interesting. I probably wouldn't order the potato again but I enjoyed the chili one and the hot Italian onions. Next time, I'll need to get the hot chili with the hot Italian onions. It would taste even better and then I can go breathe on my worst enemy. I actually like that there's not too many options on the menu. Helps you decide what you want more quickly. It's like a classic hot dog stand. I also saw after the fact that they have egg creams, so I'll definitely be coming back for one of those. Tip - cash only read more

I live in Houston, Texas, but I flew up to see some friends a few weekends ago, and video reels on Facebook were popping up for this place constantly. So we went. Outdoor seating very small area inside to order your food, but very typical of hot dog places in northern New Jersey. The dogs were good. The onion rings were very good. I highly recommend. read more

My girlfriend loves hot dogs. So she picked a hot dog place on 46 that I had seen but never visited for lunch. It's a small shop, they really only have some picnic tables outside for seating. We ordered at the counter and were quickly given our hotdogs. They only do hotdogs. No fries, no burgers, just hotdogs. The only other things they have are drinks and bags of chips. They are also CASH ONLY. The hotdogs are Sabrett brand and they are "dirty water" dogs. They have a good snap to them even if they are boiled. Toppings are a welcome addition. We got to try the chili, chili cheese, potato/red onion, and sauerkraut hot dogs. Chili cheese was standard, as was the sauerkraut. The standout was the potato and onion dog. It's kinda like a runny mashed potato concoction topped with onions cooked in what seems to be a tomato based sauce. I've been to many of the other hotdog places in northern NJ, but it's the only one that has this topping. Not bad if you're in the mood for a hotdog. read more

Hank's Franks - three hot dogs with cheese on them - Hot Dogs Near Me - Lodi, New Jersey

Best dogs in town. I get the hot Texas chili, and it all goes well together well. My kiddo always mentions how we should have this every evening for dinner haha. Look, the dogs are probably cooked in the 50 year old water, but it's worth the taste. Folks behind the counter are great, and a lot of outdoor seating, plus parking available. Fyi: cash ONLY. read more

Hank's Franks - Chili dog, hot Italian, and mustard relish & ketchup dog! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Lodi, New Jersey

When my 5 yr old wants hot dogs randomly i thought of hanks franks from passing by so many times. Why not try it? You get a mom and pop feel. We ordered 2 dogs 1 with ketchup and 1 with cheese and cheesy fries. I have a gluten sensitivity so I took a small bite of the dog and it's great even my lil Eva ate all her fries and the rest of the hot dog. I would definitely go back! read more

Best hot dog with potatoes ever Been going there for years Stop there every time I come back to Nj read more

Love this place. Have been going there for years. Over 30 years to be exact. Recently I was there and I know that other family members have taken over the store. Which is great! My only concern is why does product have to change? The chili tastes ok but is so watery & loose looking that I even had to look to see if there was any substance under the cheese that was on top! Times have changed and so does everything. Hanks Franks has been there for years and has a tremendous following. You knew what you were getting and quality of product. Please don't change! read more

This place sucks and I don't get the hype. Unfriendly service and sorry looking basic AF hot dogs with no flavor toppings. Do better. read more

Amazing homemade toppings on dirty water Sabrett natural casing dogs. Chili, Onions, Potatoes.....you can't go wrong, it's an institution! It's also a must if you like all the kitschy low brow history of north Jersey Texas Weiners. Do it! Now. read more

Hanks franks is one of those northern nj institutions. Was a regular back when I worked in the area in the 80s and although the neighborhood seems busier the place is the same. Counter inside, few tables outside but these are Jersey dirty water dogs. You eat them on the trunk of your car in the sun with a cold can of soda - nothing better. Ok maybe some things are better but it's pretty great after a long snowy, pandemicy winter. Dogs were great, buns and toppings were great and the counter chatter about how great the Mets are going to be this year means spring is upon us. As Arnold said, I'll be back ! read more

Clean, quality hotdog with great toppings. The potato sauce is different and worth stopping here just for that, if you're looking for anything besides a hotdog or a soda or potato chips, this isn't the spot for you. They keep it simple here but please update your soda fountain- rc cola? Yuck. read more
