Still my favorite place in the tri-county area to get a texas weiner (aka "chili dog"). J&H has stood the test of time for a reason!

Always a great hot dog "all the way". Has been my go to spot since High School 50 years ago (original Paterson location). Have added some nice items to the menu including Franks and Beans...my wife's favorite! Still great service and value! read more

Johnny & Hanges - Frank and Vegetarian Baked Beans Platter - Hot Dogs Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

Fixture in Fair Lawn. Come in a for an all the way dog and come back for the cannolis

This hot dog joint is pretty good. I don't really eat hot dogs but I figured might aswell try a place that is dedicated to making hot dogs. I was impressed. I got the Italian hot dog and a regular hot dog with chillies and the works. The service was nice and the restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. If ever in this part of jersey I would recommend stopping by. read more

J&H has been around since 1939, however current building is fairly new with plenty of parking. Friendly staff at registers. Can be a line at times but it moves fairly quick. Ive been to most of the infamous NJ hot dog joints and J&H is one of myh favorites! Besides 2 types of hot dogs ( more on that later), they serve cheese-steaks ( beef or chicken), burgers, roast beef sandwiches ( hot & cold) and more. Plenty of sides other than french fries and onion rings ( which were both very good). Other perks: home-made rice pudding...cannolis...and $1 refills on fountain sodas! But it's all about he hot dog and they offer 2 types that are grilled perfectly to a nice crispy snap ( especially the wiener): Wieners: regular sized hot dogs made of pork & beef ( my favorite) and Big Dogs: very large ( almost twice the size & price of a Wiener) but all beef. They have signature dogs or create your own. I loved the chili ( and cheese) dogs. The chili tastes like Cincinnati style chili that I cook all the time. It has a special ingredient that just gives it a perfectly individual taste. AWESOME! (see if you can figure it out) I also like cole slaw ( which they offer) on a dog with a little hot sauce. The hot, salty dog with cool, creamy sweet slaw and little hot sauce to give it zing.....Nice! Prices were fair too. HIGHLY recommended. Can't wait to go back! read more

Decided to do a late summer Jersey hot dog tour, this was our second stop. I was a little worried about parking but relieved to find a sizeable parking lot, only about six or seven cars parked when we arrived. Place reminded me of a Chinese restaurant on the outside, walked on to find only one person in line and plenty of seating. Staff was very kind, as they welcomed us to a second register. Place was clean, and food came out quickly. Prices were great, as was the dood. We ordered a couple of dogs and an order of fries, along with a fountain RC Cola-that brought back some good memories. Food was excellent-dogs were deep fried and fries were nice and crispy-they gave us two little ketchup dips for the fries. Couldn't finish the fries, and when I asked for a bag, the counter person offered to wrap them up for me if I brought them up to him-he used an old school wax type paper from a roll behind the counter, securing with a rubber band from a giant box of rubber bands-definitely old school. Cool spot, great service, and really good food! read more

Awesome food, great service, and lots of places to sit and enjoy. Plus Rc Cola!!! Come on who doesn't like that.

Came here for lunch on Nov. 5 while in town for a couple of days. Still outstanding! Outstanding hot dogs. Outstanding service. Outstanding (clean) atmosphere. I wish these kind folks would open an outpost in Houston! ;-) read more

Chili dogs, tater tots, and onion rings all done very nicely. Crisp and flavorful. With a drink the entire meal was $16, a fair price these days. If I was in the area and in the mood for something heavy I may stop in again. read more

Johnny & Hanges - Hot Dogs Near Me - Fair Lawn, New Jersey

This place is an absolute classic, and it gets 5 stars for having excellent choices outside of its traditional hot dog offerings, including burgers, fresh filled cannoli, and refills for only a buck! Counter service is friendly, and they accept credit cards, which is a huge plus. Plenty of seating and parking, another huge plus. I recommend either the chili dog with onion, or the hot dog with coleslaw and mustard. They key is that the coleslaw is really good and fresh. read more

Hot dog - $3. Hot dog with mustard - $3.50. Your choice. (That must be some really great mustard)

I have been going to Johnny and hanges since they opened but I haven't been back in a while. A little odd that when we got there they had roped off half the eating area, although I couldn't tell why. I ordered a hot dog all the way with cheese and cheese fries all the way. Everything was OK, just not as good as I remember it but I can't pin point exactly what I felt was different. read more

This is a NJ staple for dogs. All the way is for me. Fast, clean & tasty. If you're comparing all the way dogs in Jersey, this place is always in the top of the mix. read more

An absolute classic of a spot. J&H loads up their hot dogs with a wide variety of toppings and combinations. We got spicy relish, all the way, and kraut/mustard. These taste great, the service is awesome, and it is affordable which is very tough to say about other places these days. Definitely worth checking out!! read more

This place was clean and that is the reason that was the only positive. The bread tasted like store brand nastiness. The burger was disgusting and hot dogs ick. Literally the worst onion rings that I have ever tried. How has this place survived? Who would go here on purpose the food was inedible and unappetizing?!!? HORRIBLE read more

The only place I have found with an Italian Hot Dog in North Jersey , North of West Orange,Newark and Elizabeth and it's pretty decent,it's not on pizza bread it's on Italian hero bread, but the peppers, onions, potato's ...and all the other food is good...cheese steaks, hamburgers, chicken and alike read more

A local hot dog and classic fast food American joint that serves up well made cheap eats. Ranging from goodies like fries, hotdogs, burgers, cheesesteaks, nothing will cost you more than around $6 and the place itself is super clean and ready for pickup. If you come on certain days, if you buy two chili dogs you are rewarded with a third at not additional cost. All the food was pretty good and satisfying but I wasn't particularly thrilled by the kind of cheese that they used on the dishes (white American)? It kind of congealed in a weird way and was really hoping for just some nacho cheese type softer cheese. They accept credit cards and this location has tons of parking. Another interesting point about this place is nothing is super oily, greasy or salty. I wasn't expecting the food to be almost, bland? but it wasn't super flavorful! read more

I made a deal with Wifey-I'd go shopping with her if we could stop for hot dogs in the way home. I decided on Johnny & Hanges since I'd been here before I'm and I knew a Wifey would like the dogs. The place was pretty busy when we got there, but we weren't in a hurry. I ordered a 1/4 pounder all the way w/chili, onions and mustard and a Regular dog w/chili and cheese. Wifey got a regular dog w/kraut and mustard and we shared an order of fries with gravy and cheese (Disco Fires if you're from Jersey). The dogs were fantastic. They use Thuman's I believe and they make for an outstanding, tasty dog. The chili they use/make here isn't my favorite, but it is quite tasty. I also prefer a cheese sauce over American cheese, but wherever they use here is pretty tasty. The Disco fries were some of the best we'd ever had...the gravy was really good. As I said, I'd been here before...and I'll be back here again. Delicious dogs, very friendly staff, eating area and bathrooms were very clean and the food was fairly priced. If you're in the area - stop in! read more

I usually don't leave negative reviews because i understand how that can affect a business however when you are disregarded after finding a roach in your food it leaves me no choice. I found a roach cooked in with the sauce and that was served over my fries with cheese and sauce. The roach was obvious against the cheese fry and when i grabbed it and placed it on a tissue it was clear the roach was soaked in sauce. I informed woman at the register and her excuse to me was by the window where you are sitting there's bugs. When i told her that this roach was in the sauce under cheese she said I'll tell the cook. There was no apology or offer to refund my money. The refund is not the issue because I didn't want my money back but to disregard the fact that a roach was found in food served by them is unacceptable. I've been here plenty of times and will not return thanks to the lack of accountability and now the creepy crawlers found in their sauce. read more

My family is from NJ and I have been coming back to visit since I was a child. With that said, I was a Libby's girl through and through. I didn't think anything could top it -- and then Libby's closed. I was in NJ in June and my mom and I needed our fix (she had been a loyal Johnny & Hanges girl since she was young) and this was a first for me! When I tell you I fell in love at first bite.... It's true. I had all the heart eyes for my hot dog. It was so good I had to come back the next day and do it all over again. We have NOTHING like this in AZ so it is such a treat for me when I visit. My mouth is watering just from reminiscing. read more

The place is decent. I don't like their pork and beef hot dogs i think mixing meats is disgusting. I just get all beef but it's kind of inconvenience that you can't call in and order ahead. They only take walk in orders which I find that hard to believe. read more

I didn''t know about Johnny & Hanges until today, and after visiting I'd say it deserves more prominence on the Best Ever Jersey Hot Dog lists. I liked the local feeling and appreciated the excellent service. The young guy at the counter was friendly and hard-working. The large hot dogs were massive,, so there was no room for cheesesteaks on this trip. The "all the way" is a fine pick if you're into chili dogs, yet I'd say the must-have is the Italian-style, offering a stunning assortment of peppers, onions and potatoes. read more

All the way!! Hot dogs and fries are great. Reminds me of when I first moved to Paterson and was introduced to the "all the way" style. Best around!! read more

Took a Sunday ride to Johnny and Hanges last weekend. First time, but heard from old classmates about it. We are avid hot dog enthusiasts and travel far and wide on our quest Igor the best! A good "snappy" hot dog done Texas Weiner style is our favorite. I enjoyed their hot dog a lot. It wasn't my #10 as far as the chili. It was tasty, but I like a little more heat and cumin. It was a good solid #7.5 on the sauce. Regular fries were nice and hot and crisp. Will be back read more

Bought a car at the toyota dealership. Crossed the street and ate a chili dog. A very good day. Dog was crisp and delicious. The chili was unique--I might have liked it spicier but the flavor was interesting, similar to some lamb stews I've had with cinnamon and cumin. Very tasty. Store is basically a hot dog stand, good place to take kids, eat, and get out. Inexpensive. read more

Basic, no frills burger joint with retro Americana charm. The menu features basics like hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries. Everything is basically good. Straight down the middle quality. It will not be the greatest burger or dog you've ever eaten, nor will it be the worst. Everything is cooked to order and served on paper plates, just like when you grew up. It gets five stars for quality of experience. There are plenty of people at the registers. The tables are clean. The lighting is bright. The prices are reasonable. Plus, there is a parking space reserved for Elvis, so you know they have their priorities straight. :) read more

They need to change their hours to close at 7:00 instead of 8:00. If you go in any time after 7:00 the old staff harasses you that they are getting ready to close. Why not change your hours if that is what the staff is doing. It would be better for everyone. Nobody likes to hear this senior citizen staff complain that you came to eat during their normal hours of operation. If it is to late for them to work, hire a younger staff. The food is great but the attitude of the staff needs real improvement. read more

One of Carl Ruiz's go to places for dogs when in NJ. Since 1939 they have been dishing out dogs. Delicious too, either loaded, or chili cheese, or just kraut and mustard. Any way they are delicious. The potato rounds fully loaded is another go to dish as well. read more

All I had was a chili cheese dog and a yahoo. Let me start off with the yahoo was amazing. As for the dog the chili they use must have cinnamon or something else sweet in it. Its good as long as you know you aren't going to get a traditional chili flavor. The bread is crap like any other hot dog place. The hotdog itself is definitely one of my favorites out of the RH/HG genre. Can't wait to try plain and just mustard to get real flavor. read more

This is the spot. Great hot dogs and dynomite chili. Throw in some cheese fries with gravy and treat yourself. They have a few other sandwich items but I go for what they are famous for. I tried the burger and it was ok but nothing to rave about. The chili is wonderful, I wish they actually sold it as a stand alone item but alas you can only get it as an add on to fries, hotdogs and burgers. If you have a cheat day, come here and go to town. You wont regret it. Johnny & Hanges - In! read more
