Central Jersey seems to be a popular spot for Texas Weiners. There's several spots in Plainfield, this location in Dunellen, another in Middlesex, there used to be one in Green Brook. I've only been here a few times and every time was for a Texas weiner. They were always very good, as you'd expect from a place that's been in business for nearly 50 years. It's a very narrow space with tables on one side and a long counter on the other. read more

This is a good dog. Friendly, clean, fast. I wasn't blown away by the chili sauce, but it was fine. I'd come back.

My quest for the best continues. I've heard great things about J&G Texas Weiners for years so I'm glad to have checked it off my list. Arrived here at about noon for lunch and was surprised there were only a couple people in the place, but they seemed like regulars. Guy came over after a minute and took my order of a chili cheese dog and one with chili, mustard and kraut. I asked for the order to go with a small birch beer and ate in my car. Order was up in about a minute and I was on my way. The DOG was fantastic...brings back memories of the places my Dad would stop at when I was a kid (he always loved natural casing dogs). The toppings made the dogs a little sloppy, but I liked the chili a lot-nice bit of spice and not sweet like a lot of NE Jersey hot dog joints. Didn't love the American cheese on the dog (I like a cheez whiz more), but I should've asked. The dog with the kraut, chili and mustard was a little 'wet' and the mustard was pretty strong, but it was a damn fine dog. J&G Texas Weiners will never be my go-to place as it's too far from home, but it's a quality hot dog joint and if you live dogs I HIGHLY recommend you give them a try. read more

Lunch at J&G Texas Weiner in Dunellen, NJ on 29 Janaury 2024. How did I NOT go here more often when I lived in Central NJ decades ago!? I was in town for an appointment at the Lyons VA Medical Center and wanted some good greasy spoon cooking to break my fast. As always, I enjoyed stopping here for a full up Texas Weiner. Are Texas Weiners only a NJ thing? I've not found them outside of Jersey. I also decided to try their Italian Hotdog which I would have enjoyed more with a hit of ketchup. The potatoes were fried a bit too dark for my taste. The restaurant staff are friendly, but rushed. A lot of locals come here and everyone seems to know weveryone else. I'll try their cheesesteak when I'm in town again! No matter what I order, I always wish I had ordered another Texas Weiner as I drive away. VIDEO https://youtu.be/qU9ozZIjmLo read more

Tasty Weiners and quick service,,always a good spicy chili and served on a fresh bun. Yeah it's not a large place, but that's the atmosphere! read more

J & G Texas Weiners - hot dogs and french fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dunellen, New Jersey

All of our breakfast sandwiches were missing the requested toppings, the eggs weren't cooked all the way, and the wrapping for the fries was ripped apart, leaving the fries open/exposed in the bag. read more

FAST SERVICE AND DELICIOUS FOOD- I have been coming to this establishment for a few years now but I know that it has been around much longer than that. No matter how much food I order, they always tell me the same thing; "It will be ready in ten minutes." This restaurant is a well oiled machine and a part of the community here. There's something so comforting about coming in and seeing the employees know the names of most of the customers there. It makes you feel like family. To add to all of that, the food is delicious! I have only ever eaten the breakfast menu here but every time the food is consistently delicious! The omelette platter is a big fluffy omelette with a side of home fries and toast. I usually get a side of sausage because their beef sausages are plump and tasty! I will update my review once I've eaten some things off of the lunch/dinner menu read more

PERFECT old school short order griddle food plus the best Texas Weiners. The efficient choreography in the tiny kitchen + counter is mesmerizing. read more

Reviews were all correct. Looks like a dive, but sooooo worth it. The food was fabulous, the staff was friendly & the price was spot on. The Texas Weiners, fries & onion rings were perfect. My husband loved the burger too. It came on a fresh hard Kaiser roll which was a bonus. And the fountain drinks are so fun, like old time orange & grapeaide. read more

Great place , with legit Texas Weiners , the old Plainfield style ones . The place is a little cramped but the food and service are top notch . read more

Been going to this place for many years. Can't believe some of the wacks here. I HAVE NOT SEEN most of the BS that is posted. The products are great. Better then most. It's small if you want room go to burger king instead of chitchatting.Believe its worth the wait. Steve E. Kaiser Producer On the Loose TV read more

Hidden gem in Dunellen. Great food, super fast and let's not forget friendly service, great price. Dogs are the best I've had in the area and I've had my share of dogs. Keep coming back for the whole package. Sure seating is limited but worth the wait....haven't had to wait very long when it was busy. Yes you can take it to go and yes they take plastic. read more

Hot dogs are excellent. french fries are the best on the planet. Made golden brown. Always have mustard and krout

Outstanding food, and good service. I love their hot dogs. Their breakfast is good and delicious. I have been now over a dozen times and plan to go back. read more

This might've been the best hotdog I've ever had. I have been eyeing down this Texas wieners for a couple years but never really went in because it looks a little divey, and it is. It looks like an old school luncheonette but is serving up great dogs! The dogs are pork/beef mix, pop when you bite in and are served to order. Knowing that I was in unchartered territory for myself, I told them to make it how they like it. What I got was - up with cheese: chilly, onions, yellow mustard, topped with cheese. So good! read more

100% the best Texas weiners I've been to. The owners are fantastic and so are the employees. Very clean, tasty food, and quick.

About 2 years ago I decided to do a Texas Weiner crawl around Plainfield, NJ. Why Plainfield, that's easy, you see for awhile Plainfield had the largest number of places serving Texas Weiners (mustard,spicy Greek style sauce and diced raw onions) outside of Paterson . J&G in Dunellin won that round handily. Not so this time. After not being able to find parking near Texas Weiner 1 on Watchung Ave, I went to Red Tower 1. They came in 3rd last time, losing to TW 1 and J&G. The Dog seemed to have been left on the flat top too long . This time Red Tower kicked butt. The dog was cooked right and had good snap. The TW sauce has just the right thickness and had just the right amount of kick. J&G was an epic fail. The dog I was served was a foot long that was kinda tasteless and the TW sauce was watery and soaked the bun to the point that we had to finish with a fork. read more

Gotta get the pork roll egg and cheese sandwich on a roll. 4 SLICES of pork roll on it for under $6! We've been #Roadtripping around North Plainfield, Dunellen and MIddlesex and this is the best sandwich for the moolah- if you like hot dogs or French fries - they're the BEST! read more

Hot dog was over my expectations. The variety and they can make whatever you want on top. I had it with eggs and it was awesome. All the other orders were also super yummy. They basically can make anything you want off the menu. It is hole in the wall. Highly recommended read more

Simply one of the best! I have been going to this place for the last 43 years. Best dog around hands down! Jorge and Jimmy are legends.

Hands down best chili dog in the country. Tops Ben's in DC and anything Chicago can offer. "Two up " is what to order when sitting at the counter. Chili, Onion and mustard on a flat top grilled dog wrapped in a steam warmed bun. Consistency and spice of the chili is what sets them apart. Been going since I was a kid. Sacred ground in this family. read more

They have the best Hot Dogs and Burgers. They are very friendly and give great service.

I was in Dunellen a few weeks ago and had to stop at J&G for a couple of Texas Weiners. Delicious, the way I remember them with the crispy dog and the unique, tasty spicy chili sauce. Writing the review I have a craving for a couple right now! read more

Who in the heck is cooking . Wanted to give a try by reviews it must have been family giving the review. Terrible Terrible purchase 2 Italian hot dogs opened up when arrived home. So upset threw in garbage and went to Jimmy Buff in kenilworth where we should have knowing the great food. I am so upset right now a waste of money and gas I would not recommend this place to anyone I mean not even a non-friend So disgusted right now I hope I save someone a trip by letting you know do not go there. It must be time to retire I want to put the picture up to show what the heck we opened up to I should have know when she asked did I want chili what the I want my money back and my time but I hope this review will do it so sad read more

Great spot hiding in a small town! This place is very busy. Of you are not from around there...you will not know where to order from and where to pick up food bc the place is packed and there are no signs. Overall the burger and real man made patties and the hot does look to die for up close and personal. They really have a fan base and I see why. Great spot for a dog or anything really. They have very thing. read more

Good Texas Weiner's and awesome fries. Eat them quick before the bun gets soggy and falls apart in you. $3 a Weiner is a little pricey though compared to other places, but the fries make up for it. I'll have to try the other sandwiches next time. read more

Hot dogs were greasy and extremely undercooked, even asking for them to make mine well done..nothing too special.. but the burger I got wasn't actually really good! Hard to find little hole in the wall places like this these days, I like how it seemed authentic and old school. Like I said nothing too special but would never order a hotdog from here again. Both visits the hotdogs were almost raw and mushy, horrible to say the least. But pretty friendly staff and I did enjoy the burgers on both visits. I would give 3 stars but for them to be a hotdog place that serves horrible hot dogs, I have to keep it at a 2. The breakfast looked good from what I saw on other people's plates also, but didn't try so I can't comment on that. read more

Still trying to recreate the JJ's hot dog belly buster, I checked this place out. Got 2 dogs with hot onions, kraut, chili and cheese. The chili had next to no flavor and the cheese tasted like a slice of kraft. The dog was nice a big, but something tasted weird. I saw them cooking the dogs and like 40 were on the grill so I think everything I got was fresh, unless they cook all those and just keep them laying around until someone orders. This place was pretty busy, owner seemed to know all the locals, but it was all just a big "meh" for me. Their table hot sauce was good. read more

Awesome little dive diner with the best hot dogs! I always get them with the works: chili, mustard, and chopped raw onion. The hot dog skins are crispy and they just taste great! I've been going here since I was a kid and it's still serving great food. read more

This place does serves up great dogs old school style....some places are going with the gourmet dog....But just give me a dirty dog!

Yelpers got it COMPLETELY wrong on this one. We has a Texas weiner and chilli Hamburger with onions and fries. The best thing was the fries. The weiner was below basic and no flavor. If you bite into it you will see absolutely no spices in the dog. The chilli hamburger was a flavor mush. You can't distinguish between the burger, chilli, onions, bun....nothing! It tasted like mush. The chili by itself is the worst tasting, bottom of the pot, burnt bits, blah I've ever had. I'm only giving it one star because it was cheap, but hey I guess what you pay for. I've had the breakfast which was good, but I'll NEVER recommended them for anything else. read more

Wont be back here again. Today the service was terrible. Not only was the food poor but the staff was rude. Unfortunate because ive been coming here for a while. Its not what it used to be. read more

I've had hot dogs at dozens of places around NJ and J&G has the best Texas weiner I've ever had. Nothing else compares. As other reviews mention, it's a bit of a hole in a wall, but you're not here for the atmosphere. Perfectly prepared dogs, great chili, fast service. read more

This is a review i would have posted way back in 1996 when i last lived in NJ. Only reason not 5 stars is I'm a tad far since I'm in San Jose CA. Damn do i miss those chili dogs and if someone sees this and wats to next day air me 4 chili dogs i will pay for your lunch as well. Crispy hot dogs that snap and that Greek chili mmm mmmm read more

So, I go to have my "fix" for a Texas Weiner, and mind you, I have a number of Texas Weiner's, I, II, and III, to choose from. It's Saturday and very busy with the indigenous clientele. I sit at the counter and wait for my order to be taken. I am served before the Lady who ordered before me and my guest. I say, " this is not right", and the Owner says," it's on the grill and just coming off"! I have now finished and still no order for this Lady. He is 4 feet from the grill and no honest or valid excuse is given. Shockingly, he reverses this Lady's charge card and she leaves with no food. With food costs at approx. $.22 on the dollar, one would have "comp'd the order", and saved 3 regulars that will "never" return!! You lost 3 lifers for a $3.50 food charge that any respectable restaurateur would have happily written off, but really, would have had the order in proper time. Obvious disrespect for the clientele. He has the traffic he needs. NO HEART! read more
