Regular, chili and chili cheese dog. Cheeseburger and onion rings.
Elayne W.

Hot take: the onion rings and burger here are better than the hot dogs. The hot dogs are still delicious - great pop to them and they're pretty big but I thought they were under salted. I love how crispy the onion rings are though and how flavorful the burger is! It is cash only and they have outdoor picnic tables for seating when the weather is nice!

Where else can you find disco balls and silk flowers in each window, your order written on the flip side of a paper plate then served on that plate, amble amount of outside picnic tables, a cozy fire place, tons of sports memorabilia, more silk flowers, beer and the most awesome hot dogs? No where Did I say they have silk flowers?

Cuisine: 8 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 Deep fried hot dogs are delicious. Why are there not more of these types of restaurants around in NYC? I first heard of them and tried Rutt's Hut. Since then I have been to a few more including here. This is excellent. My usual is a couple of rippers and a root beer. Add some relish and mustard. What a meal! Can't clog my arteries all the time, but this is a great treat once in a while.

A worthy hotdog stand in North Jersey. They're known for the ripper(deep fried hotdog), service is quick and excellent. Cash only just in case. Parking is plenty with nice outdoor seating.

Chili cheese dog. Fries

Simple food at affordable prices. Where can you get a burger for $3.75? 1/4lb dog $4 and you can add sauerkraut. Chili or cheese add--on $0.50 each. Hot, crisp fries $3.75. Order at counter. Quick service. Separate entrance for dine-in and takeout. No fancy decor but fun to read their history, est. 1932! Picnic tables open during warm weather. A Saturday at 3pm and there's always someone eating or ordering. Quick service. CASH ONLY

Rare 5 Star Review An Institution for a reason. Hiram's Roadstand has been serving hot dogs since 1928. Deep fried hot dogs, classic Fried Dogs, Burgers. This place is about as old school as it gets. On one side is counter service where younger neighborhood kids were eating dogs and sipping on Yoo-hoo, while the other half is a bar where the older guys were jamming down dogs and burgers, and watching the game. TIP: Ice Cold Draft Beers TIP 2: Always order your dogs well done, they get a bit ripped, delicious. Always a must stop, gives Rutz Hut a run for its money. Thanks

Onion Rings

Best item on the menu is the chili dog. The onion rings are delicious, but it's salty . The plain dog with kraut and relish was fine, but the chili dog I thought tastes the best. $4.50 for chili dog, $4.00 for plain dog and $4.00 onion rings.

TLDR: Famous quick stop in the Fort Lee area. Chili cheese dog. Cash only. Tasty. I've driven by Hiram's countless times but only tried it the other day. It gives me a very similar vibe to New Park Pizza in Howard Beach, the hot dog and burger version. IYKYK. It's cash only, you can order at the counter and there's some seats both inside and some benches in the parking lot. The chili cheese dog was very tasty. Standard bun but the frankfurter itself had a very snappy casing. Well-cooked and served HOT. The chili was also hot and there's a slice of American underneath. It melts together in a much better way than the standard nacho cheese like sauce I'm accustomed to. So nice, we had it twice. I try not to eat too many hot dogs but if you're craving it - do it right. I'd definitely come back to try some other things, maybe not after I just ate dinner but it was still a good idea.

Finally tried outdoor dining and it was wonderful on a warm spring day. To my chagrin, they discontinued their Birch Beer, but their Root Beer they allowed me to sample was still pretty good! I ordered onion rings & chili cheese dog loaded with relish, k&m and brought it out to the back patio packed neatly in a cardboard box. The dog hit the spot as always - fresh bread, great tasting fried dog w/ classic condiments, paired perfectly with a cold bottle of miller lite. Not sure why I keep ordering the onion rings though... must be the grease junkie in me but it's not that good (not enough onion, too much coating & greasy). Wouldn't order it again unless I wanna be transported back to the early 90s roller skating rink food. Good to eat once in a (long) while (wife says), but I say the classic taste cannot be denied!

We go here whenever we crave some good hot dogs. Had a cheeseburger, plain dog for the kid, souerkraut for wife, chilli cheese RO dog for myself. Do not forget to add mustard because the dogs are not salty, which I like.

Hot Dog with Chili & Cheese

Hiram's 1345 Palisade Ave. Fort Lee, NJ 07024 Hot Dog with Red Onions Hot Dog with Chili and Cheese Onion Rings Sausage Sandwich Located in Fort Lee approximately one mile from the George Washington Bridge is a locally owned restaurant that specializes in the good old fashioned American hot dog. There is a decent amount of indoor seating and plenty of decorative wall art. The hot dog was smothered in red onions. Some of the onions fell of the dog, but that's definitely a good problem as it means the plentiful onions were piled high and deep. In my personal opinion, chili and cheese both make excellent toppings on a frankfurter. Visually the cheese is hard to see, but it is hidden beneath a heaping mound of chili. If you aren't craving a hot dog, check out a couple of the other comfort food menu items I explored. The battered onion rings are piping hot. While crunchy on the outside, they are soft and savory on the inside. It's a win-win whether you choose to have them plain or with a dipping sauce of your choice. This flattened sausage patty is smothered in marinara sauce and served on Italian bread. It is simple, yet satisfying. It was a pleasant experience eating classic food in this casual establishment. #hotdogs #hotdoglovers #hotdogwithredonions #redonions #chiliandcheese #hotdogwithchiliandcheese #sausagesandwich #onionings #Hirams #fortleenj #foodstagram #localbusiness #foodreviews #njfoodie #eats #localspots

Onion Rings Hot Dog

A New Jersey institute that has stood the test of time. There isn't much to say about Hiram's, been here forever. Serving up deep fried hot dogs and burgers and all the classic sides. You can eve be order a beer. Small place with two entrances, one where you can stand to eat or pick up to go, another where they offer some tables. Very old school spot, cash only. Great service. If you want a hot dog or burger you gotta stop here.

I stopped in recently with my girlfriend as I've been wanting to try this place since I first saw Anthony Bourdain come here and say it was his favorite hot dog. But since I became vegan/vegetarian in 2017 I rarely eat meat unless it's a special place or a rare occasion, but over the past month I loosened up a little and ate some here and there so I made it a point to come here due to this being a special place. It's a cool little spot in a great area. I've always loved Fort Lee. The atmosphere is vibey yet fast faced. You feel a sense of urgency while eating here as everyone is in a rush to eat and go. Which I'm down with. We ordered a dog to share with mustard and sauerkraut on it. F****ck it was good! So good that my girlfriend said, "Let's get another one babe!" I loved that! She also added some relish to this one which made it even better. I've had alot of great hot dogs across the United States and I have to say, this is the best one I've had thus far. Highly Recommended and thanks for the great service and vibey atmosphere. I'll be back soon to have more dogs plus I'll make sure to enjoy a beer and a burger the next time as well. Enjoy :P

If you're craving a delicious burger, you can't go wrong with Marty's! (Fort Lee)…read more We got double cheeseburgers delivered, and they truly hit the spot. The patties were juicy and savory, perfectly balanced with a bun that isn't overly bulky. We paired them with a shared order of fries, which was just the right portion. Excellent prices ($$) and solid delivery packaging. Kudos to the team for maintaining such amazing quality and flavor!

I am always searching for a good burger, please, and it's pretty tough to find something that's…read moreexceptional.But when a Manager from amajor steakhouse tells you to go to Marty's in Fort Lee because they have the best burgers, you know you have to try it. So I did. I cannot get over how tasty and oh so good their burgers are! I am not a fan of burgers that are smashed, but these burgers are so tasty and juicy! Beef delivered from Pat LeFrieda's every day, and all fresh ingredients. And the sauce on the Burger so delicious. They have excellent choices, including plant-based burgers and breaded chicken ("Impossible" brand) I had the swiss burger lettuce wrap with sautéed onions & shrooms, And My best friend had the same but added bacon. He also ordered truffle Parmesan fries, which were so delectable! To top it off, the service was excellent! Everyone who worked there was helpful & answered any question that you had with a smile. What a great bunch of people! I live about 20 minutes away, but I will definitely be going back at least once a week! And the place is cute. Love, love, love Marty's!!
