The hot dogs at Larry Joe's hot dog truck are unbelievably good. There are a variety of toppings to choose from - we got the chili topped with onions and it was fantastic. The chili is not spicy so good for all taste bud varieties! Also got the hot dog topped with mustard, onion and relish. The homemade relish is excellent I'd definitely get it again. Since this is a food truck, there is limited seating but they have a picnic table and a few plastic chairs if you choose to eat on site. Prices are very reasonable, and they also offer a variety of cans of soda and waters along with potato chips if you want a side (however after eating just the dog you likely won't have room for any sides)! read more

ALERT: Larry Joe just posted on Facebook that he has a new address, about 1 mile away from the old location according to Apple Maps. I'm confirming that this is permanent before updating the address here on Yelp. But in the meantime, here it is: 89 Hartford Ave East Mendon, MA https://www.facebook.com/groups/LarryJoesNewEnglandFirePit/permalink/10160196795573506/ Still the best hot dog I've ever had in my life (and I once spent all day on the NJ Hot Dog Tour, so I've had a lot of famous hot dogs!). read more

I found this gem on Yelp and loved the reviews so we took a ride to check it out! Larry Joe's is just a food truck on the side of the road. We pulled in and parked next to a car with Arkansas license plates...which is a surprising thing to see around here. The food truck was there, a few people mingling around waiting for orders, a bunch of lawn chairs and small tables (like the size for putting your drinks on). We got out and were reading the menu on the side of the truck and Larry Joe was outside the truck talking with people there. Larry Joe was describing his chili for the hot dogs that it's the real deal as he's from Arkansas. At this point I'm guessing that the car with the Arkansas plates is his. All of a sudden this guy is like "wait! Y'all are from Arkansas?!?" It turns out that car with the Arkansas license plates just happened to stop in the middle of Massachusetts at a stop owned by a guy from Arkansas. It was all of a sudden like old home week!! They were talking about home and the places they live and all. I know that's a totally random piece of information, but it was pretty entertaining! Anyways, we all ordered. My mom the 1/4 lb hot dog, my partner the large sausage sandwich and I got the small sausage sandwich. The also offer a pastrami sandwich and a HALF pound hot dog (it's monstrous!)!!!! They called our name when our order was ready. We decided to eat in our comfortable car rather than on the plastic lawn chairs provided as we had my elderly mom with us and we thought the car would be easier. We were all happy with our food. I love these little places that people are just doing what they love and turning out some good food. We would go here again, and even though I'm not really a hot dog fan I'd probably order that next time just because it's his specialty! read more

This was the best hot dog of my life. We went to Southwick Zoo but we were really going to get this hot dog from the coolest guy ever. So we get there and the first thing that greets you is that wonderful BBQ aroma. There must be a smoker in there. I love that smell. Then I see Larry and I am pumped. He did not disappoint, he was extremely welcoming, helpful, and a great story teller. 2 dogs, 2 sodas, and a bag of kettle chips for $19.00. I was so full. I can't wait to go again. Maybe next time I will get the pastrami. read more

I was introduced to Larry Joe's by my dentist yesterday. I was welcomed with a first timers bell and introduction by Larry Joe and a young lady that worked with him. I couldn't decide between a 1/4 pound or 1/2 pound. When she showed me the difference between them. I definitely knew I couldn't take down a 1/2 pound by myself! So back at the office and I am admiring my 1/4 hotdog with onions and hot peppers. How should I tackle this thing? Grabbed my knife and fork and went all in! Every bite was followed by mmmm mmmmm. Every bite was flavorful! I am looking forward to my next visit and bringing friends with me! read more

Best hot Dogs in Massachusetts!!!! Hot off the grill.home made relish is to die for. That stuff should be sold in stores.Music is always good. read more

I have been going to Larry Joe's for almost 10 years. This is the best hotdog in New England, perhaps even in the country. Everything is fantastic, and Larry is a wonderful conversationalist. The menu options may be limited, but with quality like this you're not gonna miss anything. Five stars seems too little for a place of this quality. If you have not made a visit, please do - it will be worth your while! Recommend: The Caribbean fire dog read more

Great food and Larry is awesome! Love the atmosphere. Music playing while you wait for your order and everyone is so friendly.!

First time at this famous spot. I got the Presidental 1/2 lb and I enjoyed it. My friends got the Caribbean spicy dog and they recommended that, so I'll have to try that next time. read more

Lazy Sunday morning while watch the staple in our house Phantom Gourmet they show cased this road side gem a couple of towns over. So before the football season starts we decided to head out. The smell is what hits you first and you know your close, next is the line of people already waiting for their BIG HOTDOG. The service is just what you expect feels like a back yard BBQ. Step up get your choice of beef hotdog or sausage. And a great choice of home made sides to add. If in the area come by and support local. read more

Great spot and an even great owner! Heard about Larry Joe's and took a little road trip to check it out. Totally worth the drive! Several different styles of hot dog, offered in 1/2 pound or full pound sizes, all cooked over a wood fire in his food truck. Offered with all kinds of homemade condiments -- and you can pick as many as you like. Loved the homemade relish and the hot pepper sauce (not for the faint of heart). But best of all was when the line died down the owner plays the piano and signs and chats up the customer. A truly kind hearted man who shared a bunch of good stories with us and made us feel totally at home. read more

If you haven't been to Larry Joe's, you're seriously missing out. What he's serving up is such a culinary masterpiece that the word "hotdog" doesn't even come close to describing it. The secret lies In the quality of his ingredients; and paired with his homemade toppings and unmatched customer service, personality and old-school southern charm, it's a "hotdog" on a completely different level. This is the dog all other hotdogs aspire to be when they grow up. Check it out - you won't be disappointed! read more

Simply amazing hotdogs! This guy does it right! A great variety from plain to specials! Fantastic dogs from a great guy.

You've never had a "hotdog" like Larry Joe's. They are delicious! Truly a gourmet experience with his homemade relish, assortment of toppings and the addition of Larry's personality! Great cook, musician, and entertainer extraordinaire! You won't regret stopping by his food truck on Route 140 in Mendon! It's an experience-especially in warm weather when he puts out chairs for customers and brings his keyboard out! read more

You will never find a hotdog like these ones anywhere else in the country. They are the best hotdogs in the world hands down. I will be here more often for sure. If you are ever in MA and are hungry then this is the place to go even if it's out of your way. 5/5 read more

I pretty much exclusively review Barbecue joints but I'll make somewhat of an exception here. Good lord, these were amazing! Got a Frankfurter with Mustard and Relish and a Western (Sage and Pepper) with some BBQ sauce. I was blown away by the quality of the sauces, they make their own. The Relish almost looked like a nice sweet and sour sauce with cranberries in it. The BBQ I think is made with little pieces of Pineapple and it was very tropical sweet style tasting. Frankfurter is the the real deal, grilled perfectly and juicy and had that awesome zingy smokey flavor. Western I could definitely taste the sage and a hint of that black pepper. Buns are toasted soft white bread sub rolls and they are perfect! Makes you question why the hell you have been getting dumb hot dog buns all your life. Definitely one of those places where you just have to stop and get a few if your in the area. Need to go back! NO KETCHUP! These dogs deserve respect so appreciate the fact that ketchup is only used to make gross things taste like something else. (btw, I like ketchup but I know when it don't belong) read more

What a great hidden gem! Found this place as we were on our way to mendon to see a movie at the drive in. Larry is such a nice guy and he is turning out amazing food. I had the firedog with mustard, relish (which is sweet fruits and veggies) and the hot pepper salad. Holy moly was it good! The sausage was cooked perfectly. Larry also slices the sausage In half to accommodate the toppings. Also the toasted bun is perfect to holding everything together. My boyfriend had the western sausage with mustard, onions and chili. YUM. The chili is so delicious. Love everything about this spot and Larry is such a sweet and genuine guy. read more

Awesome hot dogs and great service. This place is a hidden gem. The hotdogs were FILLING!

Very good (big) dogs here. These take a while so don't figure on anything quick happening. These are 4 to a # Pearl beef dogs (pretty sure) and they're cooked on a grill with added wood chip for additional flavor. Larry used to work for Speed on Northampton Street in Boston before Speed retired and he's tried to recreate that setting. While not as good as a Speed dog....these are very good and very big...he does take call ahead orders if you are in a rush. read more

One of my favorite places, I have been going there ever since he had a set up at Larry's liquors in Bellingham, those hotdogs are massive and so delicious and juicy. I always get a chili dog and Gatorade. I highly recommend this place. read more

So I tried their food at the Upton Fireworks Festival and it tremendous. My brother got the pastrami and he said it was delicious. I got the firedog and it was amazing. A spicy Caribbean sausage, had what I felt was perfect heat without burning your mouth out. It was on a nice sized roll and they had a variety of toppings. I went with the classic mustard and relish. Home location is in Mendon but they do events. If you see them there, try them for sure. read more

I got an artisan, charcoal cooked hot dog with homemade relish. Also, while it was on the grill, the owner came out and gave me a lesson on how to fix my golf form. The dog was grilled perfectly, giving it that smokey flavor but not overpowering the meat. The relish was hot (just how I like it) but the heat didn't overpower the dog or stay past its' welcome. I'll be back for lunch another time for more franks and pointers. read more

As food trucks go this was spot on. Simple but delish, go with the chili.

A coworker brought me here yesterday for lunch. Best damn hot dog I've ever had in my entire life! A day later and I'm still thinking about it. Had the Firedog with salsa and the Western with mustard, barbecue sauce and relish. The smell from the food truck while they were cooking was making me even hungrier. I will definitely be back. read more
