Took the grandkids to this place. It was cute, but not much to do. We ate our hotdogs and left.

Hotdogs were good. Very cute place. Great prices. Nice people. North Carolina specialty dog is fantastic.

18 years running this spot is a must. Solid lunch spot hidden away. Locals only!!! Just kidding everyone's welcome!!!

Reason #478 why small towns have the best tucked away eats... Simple hot dog joint.. In an old train caboose!! Nothing fancy shmancy.. Sabrett water dogs. Excellent!!! I got the "double stuffed" on a pretzel roll with kraut and mustard. Great!!! Tasty, roll was perfect but then again I'm a sucker for pretzel rolls. Casing had a nice little snap to it. Then I got the chili. You can get mild or spicy, so I went with spicy. If you're a spicy kind of person, it's vary tame. Extremely flavorful and I liked the way the meat was done. Had a very good consistency that I can't find the right words for. When you try it, you'll see what I mean. Lastly, the woman there was great. Very hospitable and we had a nice little conversation while she was getting everything ready. When in town and you're hungry, don't pass this place up. Price is right and taste is even better. read more

Your ordering from a converted train car, standing outside. Seating is outdoors only at picnic tables. They have a huge selection of really good hotdogs, if you are a hotdog lover, you should try it. read more

Great spot for dogs! Lots of topping options! I went went with two basic dogs, one with hot onions, kraut and mustard, the other with mustard, baked beans and coleslaw. The guy at the counter was friendly, patient (as it was my first visit) and funny. Top quality, fresh ingredients make all the difference and this places aces it. As far as ambiance, it's a trailer made to look like a caboose adjacent to a train station. Pretty much what I expected. There are some picnic tables available. read more

Hot Dog Caboose - Hot Dogs Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

One of my friends who live locally brought me here since I LOVE hot dogs. Hot dog was pretty mid, but I guess they are more known for putting a bunch of toppings on the dogs, and I just got a plain one. It's a cute concept of a hot dog train. Lots of picnic tables. All in all, it's a cute place and a nice spot for a quick bite. read more

Hot Dog Caboose - Plain Hot Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

Happened to be in the area and stumbled across hot dog caboose (thanks Yelp). In a cool little part of town it's a hot dog joint inside an old train car. Believe it was the owner who was inside, very friendly and great. Masked up, sanitizer on the counter and she used a sanitizing sheet on my credit card before handing it back so you know they are doing Covid right. Got 2 dogs all the way and fries - little odd, any other place in NJ I have been when you say all the way it's mustard, chili and raw onions. Here the onions were the red onions, actually not bad but not what I expected, would be more clear next time. Fries were great, love the Sabretts and fresh rolls. Tables outside so for the first time in 6 months I sat at a table and ate at a restaurant- gotta say was pretty great. Definitely added to my north NJ hot dog tour. read more

I'm from Chicago so hotdogs are a staple! Saw this cute little place and was so excited to give it a try. However-so disappointed with the product. Stepson and I waited in line and ordered regular hotdogs-no Miss, no fuss! So shocked that with the limited menu they don't even steam the hotdog buns! What?? The young man working there popped the hotdogs in the microwave, put them on a cold bun and handed it over. It was awful! Why have a specialty restaurant that does such an un-special job preparing one of the easiest menu items to make phenomenal? Bummed. read more

Cute location, pleasant service, descent dogs.

This place was absolutely amazing I would come here again definitely make this a pitstop for hotdogs. Please come here and enjoy the hot dog difference that is around here that has more taste than any place in the area, this is for creativity and extreme taste because you can get any good hotdogs down by us but this place Tops them all. read more

Hot Dog Caboose - Hot Dogs Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

A favorite spot for dogs, beans, chili, etc. The Caboose has become one of our go to spots to refuel after our "Geezer Hikes". There is a variety of hot dog types, a favorite of which is their Chicago dog. Fancier joints got nothing on the Caboose, dining there is always al fresco. Always. Go there. Experiment with a different hot dog. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for a couple months, knowing we'd be in NJ during the first week of July. If I lived here, Hot Dog Caboose might well be an occasional stop for me. First, I dig the outside tables in the long shadow of the old caboose. Great place to sit under the umbrella and nosh on some dogs and birch beer. The lady working the counter was also extremely polite and friendly. Hot Dog Caboose uses Sabrett's in its dogs. In our case, the dogs weren't completely warmed through. Not cold, but not hot either. Wife had a relish dog. It was standard. I had the chili cheese (I guess liquid cheese is a thing in NJ) and a Reuben dog on a pretzel bun, which was absolutely clutch. In fact, it's probably the best pretzel bun I've ever put in my mouth. It might be a while before I get the chance to come back to this neck of the woods, but I'll keep Hot Dog Caboose bookmarked in the mean time. This quaint joint is worthy of future business. read more

Sabretts on a pretzel bun...what could be better. Located by a cute little sitting park and in an actual caboose. Go! I have had basics on my dogs, but they have great inventive toppings. Fried yummies and Yoo-hoo read more

Disappointing! Food wasn't up to our expectations. Looking for a replacement for the Fireplace. Still haven't found it!

What a gem this hotdog place is! The frito dog is a chili hotdog with just the right amount of and onions with a few Fritos on the top. It was absolutely amazing. The Italian dog was okay but not great. They have Boylans in many varieties including diet and let me tell ya I will keep coming. back for the combination of that Fritos dog and a Boylans any day. Do not pass up the his hotdog. It's one of the best I have had. read more

The Hot Dogs are great, the service is excellent and the location being a caboose on the tracks is excellent!! I highly recommend this location! read more

Great location. It's next to a train track and there's an old train right there on the side. They have a few outdoor tables which was perfect for today. We went for lunch. The line was somewhat long which is a bit unfortunate because it didn't need to be. They took your order then goes to make your food. Great for cook to order, not great for everyone waiting on line behind. The food was great, I had a taco dog which had crushed corn chips, chili, cheese and jalapeño. It was fantastic and the dog had a nice snap to it. My son loved the chicken bits and the hot dog candy was just the thing he wanted after the meal. read more

Hot Dog Caboose - Train cart where u place ur order - Hot Dogs Near Me - Midland Park, New Jersey

Honestly ... incredibly overrated. The lady who runs this joint is extremely friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately, that's about all I can say that's nice. I was so looking forward to trying this bc of the positive reviews (and proximity to my home). But wow what a let down. I ordered 4 different types of dogs (for myself) and my friend ordered 3 himself. They ALL tasted like store bought hot dogs. Seriously like the cheap dogs I used to grow up eating. They're 'ok' and that's it. Just average, NOTHING more, nothing less. Save yourself the $ and go buy supermarket dogs or go try a place who's dogs have a personality like Rutts Hut or Hiram's.. trust me either of those other places will blow you away. read more

The food is always great here they have a variety of hot dogs you can have it anyway you want it I've personally love the junkyard dog but don't take my word for it give it a try read more

If this hot dog place was in NYC it would have a huge line in front of it. Hot dog is not a usual choice for us but we were checking out the pottery studio next to the old train and found out about this place. It has an interesting location and options for hot dog. read more

A very simple place to grab a quick and inexpensive bite. Service was friendly, quick and very important, nice. It has plenty of parking and a three picnic tables to sit and enjoy your meal. Don't come thinking this is a fancy place as this it is not but still very nice. I will visit and try one of their other dogs as I had the hot sausage on this visit. They also offer take home family sized bites such as baked beans and chilli so if you like this for a quick lunch and dinner to share, this place is for you. read more

Super friendly old couple who serve some of the best hotdogs around with a smile! The variety is something that caught my eye because the number of different toppings and combinations is insane. I could come here 100 times and I still wouldn't get tired of mixing n matching toppings! The dogs are fresh and have a good bite to them. They offer a bigger dog plus sausage dogs which I got and they were pretty good! I have to come back n try some more of the varieties of toppings they offer for sure. read more

They're hot dogs in a caboose - what's not to like? Seriously, I've been coming here for years and the food is good, the venue is fun, the train is awesome. I always have to go with a Boylan's soft drink to compliment the hot dog, and there's a nice sitting area outside. If you're looking for something else to do while you enjoy your hot dog, cross the tracks and start walking up the street, making the very first right. Continue straight and there are some fun woods to hike around with a little waterfall. This used to be a swimming area many decades ago, and there are signs of its use to this day! read more

Get on track at the Hot Dog Caboose! My favorites are the Chicago dog and the Taco dog! The baked beans are awesome! You can sit outside and enjoy a specialty dog with a nice cold birch beer! They also have sausage dogs and chili - both vegetarian and with meat. Definitely with a visit! read more

Nice little spot! A few people were there. There is outside seating and food comes out quick. I got pickles on the side and added them to my hot dogs! French fries were a little cold but never the less, great stop. read more

It's a hotdog. It's a caboose. It's nothing past a high school cafeterias school lunch. I was expecting something amazing since they have been in business for ever but it's just a boiled plain hotdog. $8 the entire family eats so I guess it's a good deal money wise but if you are looking for a great dog just got to Ruts Hut. That's a dog! read more

Excellent place, old style sabrett hot dogs that have a snap to them I had the special taco dog (with chill, Fritos cheese and jalapeños) my wife found this place and I am surprised I never knew about it (I am a big fan of hot dogs) these are water cooked and the bun was fresh I have added the caboose to my favorite place list. It is in a genuine train caboose.i hope you try this place you won't be disappointed. read more

Really great spot for a quick lunch. Classic hot dogs and fries, boylans birch beer and yoo-hoo in a bottle. Not much more you could ask for. I recommend the hot dog with red onions for a unique treat. This place is great for kids too, seating is limited but if you can get a table by the tracks it's great! read more

The hot dog and fries are amazing plus they have boylands soda so this is one of my favorite eats places

Talk about yum! It was a beautiful spring day out & my boyfriend told me about this place that he has been going to for years. I love me a good hot dog so I was totally down for it; especially after a quick look at their menu which is so amazing! When we got there we placed our order & people soon followed after us. We waited about 5 minutes for our food & it was soooo yummy! Their menu is has a plethora of things you can choose from & top your hot dog with. I went for a hot dog with smash potatoes, cheese & bacon on a pretzel bun with fries. It was heaven. The staff there is incredibly friendly & sweet too! I would SO recommend this place to anyone. I cannot wait to go again. read more

Very friendly and fast service! Hot dog was great and it was a convenient quick place to stop and grab lunch! A nice find and was inexpensive . Definitely will come back in warmer weather so I can sit at one of the tables and enjoy the view read more

I wouldn't consider my hot dog a dog, more like an uncooked raw dog. The guy in the caboose smelt like liquor and throw up and it translated onto my dog. Also the relish tasted like toilet water. This place needs a renovation and better dogs. read more

The weekend staff is spectacular! Service with a smile:) I recommend the chili dog, really yummy! Check it out.

Hidden Gem in midland park Wortendyke section. Great soups in the winter and awesome hot dogs. Recommend the junkyard dog.
