Sadly not as good as it used to be. It used to be more like Callahans, that was in Fort Lee. Now the dogs are smaller and dryer. Maybe ownership change? Cut backs? But it was fabulous when it was in the little storefront!!!! read more

Jersey Dog - Two Rodeo dogs with Thumans, two Chicago dogs with Thumans, onion rings with root beer. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

Went here based on the suggestion of a former co-worker (who is also a Chef) and i'm so glad I did. If I had to say any negatives I could say the parking lot was small and the wait time was a bit longer than i'd expect...but that's truly it. Everything else was great. I ordered an Italian Dog because I love them, and the BLT Dog with Dirty Jersey Sauce based on her recommendation. The cost of these were right in line with any other specialty dogs you'd get from places like this in Jersey so that was a plus. The Italian Dog was massive and delicious. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and the flavor of peppers and onions throughout was excellent. The BLT Dog was even better! I wasn't super excited about a dog with lettuce and tomato wrapped in bacon with a spicy mayo...but I was wrong, and i'm happy to admit it. I'd suggest this one to anyone trying this place for the first time, and i've certainly not had my last! read more

Passed by this place a few times and finally decided to stop in. It was just two of us this time. I figured we'd try the eponymous Jersey Dog, which we got built on a Big Dog foot-long chassis... but first should explain how ordering works. At the top of the menu are three choices of dog (Sabrett dirty water dog, Thumanns, and Big Dog, which is a footlong. The last two are deep fried), with base prices. I guess you can just get a plain dog that way; and in fact, you can get free toppings as mentioned in the 2nd section of the menu (entitled "Free Toppings"!) - some of which are housemade gourmet options. You then pick the toppings/style in the paid section (marked "Deluxe Toppings") and I assume most people just jump straight to this. We wanted to try the Jersey Dog and were torn for a 2nd dog: deciding between the Pizza Dog and the Burrito Dog but finally decided on the burrito dog since it seemed a bit more exotic. Both were excellent, but if you'd like a breakdown, here goes: The Jersey dog is described as having yellow American cheese but I don't recall seeing any. The hashbrown is legit, and it's huge. The bun is huge as well, to better hold all this deep-fried goodness. My only criticism of this particular dog is that it's quite starchy. The top half of the bun (the part that's not full of Big Dog) was packed with hashbrown and the combination of that with the bun (though it was an excellent bun!) was too starchy. I counteracted this somewhat by alternating with bites of pure dog that were hanging out of either end of the bun. I was tempted to decompose the hot dog and and eat the hashbrown and other components individually with a fork, but where's the fun in that? I was worried the Taylor ham and hotdog would come out too salty but the flavors complimented each other surprisingly well. All in all, this was a great dog. And it was huge- probably more than one person should eat (remember, I ordered it as a footlong). There were two of us so we cut each dog in half and shared. Had we been much hungrier we might have been able to also fit in an order of fries, but not this time. Next was the burrito dog. We got this built with the Thumann's dog, so it was a little more manageable of a size. However, there was still a lot going on here. The burrito dog is the thinking man's dog. This preparation, in fact, will cause you to question your own definition of what a hot dog is. Forget about the age-old "is a hot dog a sandwich?" argument, order the Burrito Dog and engage your dining companions in a verbal dual about whether or not a Burrito Dog even counts as a hot dog... The burrito wrapper was somehow both soft and crispy at the same time. This might be due to our eating it almost directly from the fryer, at the little canopy-covered benches right outside the restaurant. And even though there was a torrential downpour of rain that started right after we started eating, this canopy was just the right dimensions to protect us from the wind-whipped rain, yet was open enough to prevent it from being too hot (and was certainly open enough to help allay any lingering covid fears you may have). Pro Tip: The burrito dog, being completely wrapped and then deep-fried, retains its heat much longer than your regularly-constructed hot dogs. I cut ours in half (and we started with the Jersey Dog to give time for the Burrito Dog to cool down some). But, you may also use this superpower to your advantage- if ordering to-go, or if you are passing through at an inconvenient time, order the Burrito Dog and it'll still be hot enough to eat an hour later! The chili (you have to specify spicy or mild; we opted for mild as I am a big wuss about spicy foods) was excellent- not to overpowering, but full of the right flavors and textures. The menu describes it as coming with a dollop of sour cream which I am not sure I got, but it doesn't really need it (maybe the spicy one does?). I reall liked this dog and if I had to do it over, I'd get this one. But I'd like to try a few more before declaring my favorite. As I said, the Pizza Dog was an initial contender, and the next time I have an opportunity to stop in to Jersey Dogs, I will get that one. The falafel dog intrigues me greatly. The Jersey Girl (like the prototypical Jersey girl) seems like a delicious hot mess.... There's so much here I want to try. What we didn't realize until we got there was that they have their own brand of soft drinks- bottled in a refrigerator by the front door. I doubt they are made on site but it's a cute thing to check out and the ones we picked (cream soda and wild cherry) also happened to be caffeine free). They were really good and quite refreshing. Will definitely be back to try something new when I'm in the area. Almost forgot to mention; the lady (owner?) who I talked to was so nice and friendly. We chatted a bit about local weather events, joked around a little, etc. Hopefully she's there when I go back! read more

Too bad I can't give them MORE than five stars...I love coming to this place! They're convenient and affordable, and the staff is exceptionally friendly..Vin is amazing, got our order 100% spot on as soon as we walked in the door. Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat read more

Great selection of deep fried and dirty water dogs. Great Jersey hole in the wall joint.

Love this spot but it seems to be closed every time I'm in town. One of the few places you can get a Callahan's hot dog and get it any way you want it. read more

Great fried hot dogs! I had never had one before but the footlong chili cheese dog was delicious and reasonably priced.

I went to Jersey dog as I saw on social media Hotdogs were terrible seem like they were deep-fried hours before I got one I had disco fries the gravy was like mud definitely do not recommend there are many other good hotdog restaurants around read more

Fantastic hot dogs. We are frequently here weekdays in the summer. We come a little after the lunch rush and always love chatting with the owner. Totally down to earth. Totally genuine person. Owner's son works the grill pretty much single-handedly. Amazed at how fast he can push out the varied orders of dogs, each with a differing collection of garnish and toppings, plus juggle the onion rings/fries/mozzarella sticks straight out of the fryer. And, unlike other establishments, nothing sits waiting. Each order is cooked on the spot, done to order and begins by being pulled cold from the fridge. I've read the banal one star reviews of this place and can't get my head around what they're talking about. No appreciation for the choreography that is unfolding in front of them. Those reviewers are pretty much unhappy dicks and would one star a kids lemonade stand. So, you know, fuck them. Anyway, Rodeo dog or just plain rippers for me. The dirty Jersey sauce is a signature of the place. Rightly so. Love it on everything. The cheese-steak is a sleeper. Must try that. Big plus...purple drank! in the drank percolator on the counter. So painfully rare to find anymore. The cold, cold purply sweet vs the hot fried dog aesthetic...triple. classic. lock. read more

Great selection of hot dogs and all the ones we have tried were all excellent. Service was also good. We'll be back.

At one time Jersey Dog was my go to place. I bragged about it and sent quite a few people there. I stopped in a few weeks ago and the food was not as good as it had previously been. Also, the one who took my order, I believe it was the owne's son, was extremely rude to me. .I will NEVER GO BACK and will NOT send any of my friends there. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE RUDENEESS !!!!! read more

2.5 stars.. Was looking for a quick bite for dinner and stumbled upon here. Place was completely dead when we came in. The woman (the owner) working in the front did not even greet us or smile at us once. So don't expect great service here. We ordered the B.L.T, Pizza, Nacho Dog and Disco Fries Topped with Mozzarella Cheese & Gravy. The hot dogs were decent but nothing special (I mean it's really hard to mess hot dogs up especially when they are deep fried - Thurmann's style) but the gravy sauce on the fries were EXTREMELY salty. I don't ever think food should be served this salty because it's hard to fix it (which is why most places have salt and pepper on the table so you can add as much as you want to your meal after it's been cooked). Service was a little slow considering we were the only customers there. There isn't much seating indoors but they also have outdoor seating. Would I come back? Overall, I'm not that impressed and I definitely would not go out of my way to come here. If you want really good hot dogs and you're willing to drive, check out Destination Dogs in New Brunswick. You'll thank me later. read more

I really like Jersey dogs because they make good dogs. I highly recommend you trying. They're deep fried pickles that is yummy. I recommend you trying everything from Jersey dogs. What a great fast food place to eat anytime during the year! read more

This hot dog joint is really good! Food good quality, reasonable pricing, excellent customer service, and delicious Jersey Dog! Also try the disco fries ...the gravy on them was very flavorful. Onion Rings were large and crispy like the chicken strips. Worth the trip. Glad to find a place near me this good since I recently moved into the surrounding area from Passaic/Bergen County Area. This place is better then the famous ones dog joints down below. Only criticism is perhaps they should have their fountain drinks advertisements a little more noticeable to the menu board. I didn't realize they had them till after I paid for cooler drinks. read more

Cute little mom and pop with colorful waitstaff. Long and plentiful menu with good cook to order foods for less than $15-$20 bucks per person. read more

We're so glad Jersey Dog reopened! They have the the best variety and always fresh ingredients. We always order Chicago dogs which are "dragged through the garden" (lotta fresh veg) and they are always fantastic. The outdoor seating is a plus and we've been there in all kinds of weather. They really should sell Yoo Hoo though as it is the perfect pairing for a hot dog or two; but otherwise, give this place a try, you'll like it. Update. They have Yoo Hoo!!! Yay. read more

I've been passing this place all summer long and finally decided to stop in and get some dogs. After looking at the very varied menu, we decided on Italian Hotdogs. It was a lot to ask that they taste like what I grew up on from Elizabeth New Jersey, but they did! The hotdogs were crispy on the outside just like they should be potatoes peppers and onions. Wow! The bread which wrapped hotdogs was amazing fresh and fluffy and delicious. The onion rings and the onion ring sauce were both excellent. While you are there chat a little while with the owner. She is a hoot. read more

I've been there plenty times and never had a bad hotdog. The problem is you need to call to make sure they're open because often times they are not open. read more

Having passed this place over 100 times and reading the mostly glowing reviews I decided to try it the other day. The young man at the counter, an unsmiling, unfriendly, disinterested chap took my order. That should have been the tipoff that things would go downhill from there and they did. I ordered a deep fried Thumann's dog with bacon and cheese. After a 10 minute wait (and there was no one else waiting for an order) I received my dog. The hot dog itself was small, had one measly piece of bacon and cheese whiz as the topping. I had to ask for relish and mustard to be added on it as they do not provide for or allow their customers to add their own condiments. Considering the dog was deep fried it barely had any crunch at all. And then the topper - $5.35 for this disappointing meal. This makes me wonder whether all those glowing reviews are just plants. I will not be back and I suggest others avoid this place. read more

Pretty good hot dogs. Love the sides they offer. Disco fries were delicious. Definitely will fill you up. Hot dogs were crispy on outside which I don't prefer but the toppings were great! read more

Man I love jersey dog. This place is one of my go to places when I have friends visit from out of town. The actual jersey dog is a work of art. Taylor ham, hot dog, cheddar cheese, crushed hash brown. Its so good. Last night I had the buffalo chicken bacon dog. But all that aside just a regular dog with their dirty mustard and dirty relish is, in my opinion, one of the best hot dogs in the state. read more

Jersey Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Newton, New Jersey

Winding my way north to Maine through local roads from Virginia. Stumbled upon this gem. Had their classic Jersey Dog. Deep fried dog wrapped in Taylor ham with yellow American cheese, hash browns, ketchup, salt and pepper, on a seriously, outrageously good, shouldn't even stoop to call it just a bun. Best thing I've put in my mouth since I was breast fed. read more

Stopped by just as a whim on a Monday night. It's primarily a take-out place with just 2 small tables and a tv. The menus are huge and on the wall. Service was quick and the server was nice. I ordered the volcano which has an avocado spread, onions and jalapeños. It was good but I'm not a big fan of onions so I might have enjoyed it more if I ordered something else. Also ordered the North Carolina. This one had chili, hot sauce and coleslaw on top. This one was more delicious because the hot sauce was WoW spicy and the coleslaw was a great touch because it cooled your mouth right after tasting the spice. Also ordered disco fries which were my favorite because the fries was just the right thickness...not skinny but not thick like a potato wedge. The edges were crispy...which is how I like it. The cheese was good and the best part was the gravy because it wasn't salty. I would stop by here again if I'm around the area. The prices are reasonable and there is lots of parking. read more

Good dogs!!! Had the Sabrett hot dogs (water dog). Had Chicago dog with dark mustard. Although not entirely a classic Chicago style hot dog, it did satisfy and I would get another! Also had one with the dirty mustard, dirty relish & chopped onions and just loved it! All went well with a birch beer. When in the area next, I will certainly imbibe again. read more

This place is so underrated, it's not even funny!! Everyone is always competing over which hot dog joint in North Jersey is the best.. yet they forget this place exists. 100% my favorite hot dog joint in Jersey. My favorite item is their Jersey Dog... a taylor ham wrapped hot dog topped with melted cheese, hashbrowns, ketchup, salt, and pepper. It's everything you could ever want in a hot dog, seriously. I've tried a few of their other combinations, but this one takes the cake hands-down. Next time you're in the area (or even if you're not and just want an amazing hotdog), make the trip to Jersey Dog! You will not be disappointed. read more

Jersey dog makes a great hotdog, what else can you say? They fry them up pretty crispy by default, which I like, but will adjust the frying time to your preference if you want them extra crispy. They have a huge selection of speciality dogs, plus a bevy of free toppings as well. My only gripe is they are a tad expensive for a hotdog joint...skip the regular length dogs and go straight for the footlong for the best value. read more

Amazing selection of toppings for the hot dogs from Buffalo chicken to bacon wrapped dogs with a good selection of cheeses too. Fresh veggies to top them off were bright and crisp. Great quality food and served up fast to order.. you choose the brand of hot dog you'd like (I believe they offer 3 or 4 brands and chicken dogs as well) I got the 'big dog' which is deep fried and juicy with chili, cheese, fresh raw onions & a side of Mac n cheese bites which were extremely addictive and perfectly crispy. My friend got 2 Thumanns dogs with the same toppings as I + fresh jalapeños and fried pickles on the side. Food is made to order, and socially distant outdoor seating is available. Great spot for a quick snack, or a large meal. I recommend stopping here if you want a good hot dog, plus the owner is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and the location was very clean. read more

This place has the best hot dogs I've ever had! I had the Jersey Dog and Pizza fries they were both sooo good! Like mouth watering goodness. If you never tried this place go for it!! I promise you won't regret it! read more

In terms of the hot dogs I'd give it four stars. In terms of the service I'd give it two stars, ergo it averages out to three stars. I haven't found their service to be slow, but their personalities are lacking. The son has zero personality and if he smiled I think it would kill him. The mother is a piece of work. From day one she has been confused and frazzled. All she ever does is complain! I'm sorry, but the place has been open a little over a year and from the beginning they act as if they've been serving hot dogs for 10 years and that the customers are nothing but an annoyance. Why open a business then?? She's never messed up my order, but I've seen her mess up other people's orders. She doesn't listen. If your order comes to $5.76 and you give her $6.01, she doesn't understand why and will get ready to argue with you. Because I want 25¢ back, and not pennies!!! The lack of seating indoors is a bit of a drag, especially when the weather is bad. There's really not much that can be done with that (don't think there's room to expand) other than moving to a larger space. I do wish them well and it's nice to get a decent hot dog in town, but they really do need to work on their people skills. read more
