It is a captivating piece of Jersey. It is well epitomized by The Hot Dog Shack and its menu board of more than two dozen customized frankfurter possibilities. I was Anthony's first customer of the day, and he treated me well. I went with his Chicago Dog (see photo) which came as described and was a mouthful to consume. I had to apply pressure and squeeze this creation down to a size that fit into my mouth from first bite to last. All beef wiener, potato roll and a side table for garnish. He even made me a cup of coffee on the house. Fun deliciousness all the way. And the surrounding buildings were just as charming and worthy of closer inspection. The cafe next door had some worthy looking baked goods that would have made a nice dessert had I the time to sit in their lovely parlor and indulge. Next time, for sure. I also had a fascinating conversation while I ate my hot dog, with Anthony's friend, Steve, who had been a minor league baseball star both in the USA and Europe. I saw old clippings about his success, and compared notes about living overseas; he as an athlete. Me as a student and businessman. That conversation made my day. So, although I stopped by for a hot dog, I left with something even more priceless - a totally unexpected meeting that was richer than I could have imagined when I woke up this morning. 5 Stars for the Dog and Conversation.

Inside, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. We chose side salads instead of fries and they were a great size to start the meal. I had the open‑face Turkey Reuben and the portion was definitely shareable and very good. My husband had the fish and chips and the cod was fried perfectly, 4 nice fillets, crisp outside and tender inside. He swapped the fries for a baked potato and it tasted like it came straight from the oven, hot and fluffy. They offered a long list of specials for 16.99 that included beverage, soup, salad, an entrée and dessert. The cakes and pies looked fabulous and many were ordering dessert. We were too full this time, but next visit we'll save room. Our waitress, Lala, was wonderfu, attentive, friendly and always checking in at the right moments. The manager greeted us warmly when we arrived and again when we left, which added to the friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. We would definitely recommend this diner and would happily return.

They had a decent crowd for a Wednesday night. Their dessert case looked amazing and I heard two tables ordering cake and Oreo cheesecake!!! I hit the bathroom before heading out. Nice decor but dirty and a fly was hovering around. Sweet server named Emma was probably the highlight . One and done for me - sorry.

We have only been here for ice cream in the past and decided to take a ride down to try their food…read more We came on a Sunday and it was pretty busy. We were able to get one of the last booths in the restaurant. It is pretty small inside and there are about probably 10 or so booths and a small counter. Our server came over and greeted us with menus and a specials menu. We were thinking we would get a burger as that is what they are known for besides ice cream. We saw that adding lettuce, tomato, and onions was extra, so we decided on just getting the California Burger medium, which has all of that on it. For a side, we ordered tots. On the menu under burgers, it says add fries for $5, but that is also the price for fries and tots if you order them all a carte. Our food came out pretty quickly. Our burger looked like a premade bubba burger or patty from Costco. It was cooked to our liking but it somehow felt mushy. The tots were nice and crispy. We ordered a fountain drink and a boost. For $26 for a burger, tots and two drinks I felt was a little much. I think we will stick to ice cream in the future. This place is cash only and their restrooms are outside of the restaurant.

The shop was all bright red & white, but smallish in stature with perhaps a dozen tables for eat ins. I opted for take out due to bad weather (nor'easter coming up the coast dumping loads of rain and causing minor flooding). My order was ready upon arrival. I just had to ask the first employee I saw where to go for takeout. That easily accomplished, I drove home the 15 miles; crossing the Delaware River on the Burlington-Bristol Bridge just as a cloudburst opened up. Tightened my grip, and made it home safely, managing to grab a few skinny fries along the way (crisp and nicely salted). As a first timer, I opted for their Hot Dog (lobster roll bun topped with yellow mustard, sauerkraut, onion and relish) and a Reeces Concrete (milkshake). They were both very good. The frankfurter meaty, spicy, possessing a nice snap when bitten and a solid 7 chomps to consume. The Concrete was basically a peanut butter shake with small bits of chocolate mixed with the vanilla slurry. Oh, so sweet, but perhaps not worth the calories nor the extra cost (($4+). Skip it next time. No doubt, Freddy's is a contender in the fast casual burger wars, competing with the Five Guys of the world. Higher quality than McDs, BK or Wendy's, with commensurate pricing.

I asked King what he likes and he told me very excitedly about how he orders an Original Freddy's Double and customizes it.
