I love hot dogs and gave this spot a try! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked…read moreinto a nice spot. I was greeted and ordered. I ordered: Coffee milkshake Hot Mac (with mac & cheese, red Hot, crispy onion Not Hot dog (vegan) the dawg (chili, dawg sauce, crispy onion, Sriracha dawg dust) gravy cheese fries with dawg dust Mac and cheese I really enjoyed the coffee milkshake! I also liked the hot mac. The mac and cheese alone was ok and so were the fries. I liked that they had a vegan option as well. All in all it was a good experience!

Checked out The Dawg House in Totowa a few days ago and I think I'm still full…read more They have Sabrett water dogs, Thumanns for the air fryer, even a vegan dog (whatever that means lol) with so many options for toppings and a full list of signature dogs to choose from. If you're not in the mood for a dog they have other stuff too, like Mac and cheese topped with pulled pork Doug, the owner, was a really nice guy also. Eric (from Cultinary Road Trip) and I planned to eat and get going, maybe a half hour stop at the max. I think we were there like 2 hours talking! Dogs we tried were: 1. all the way - chili, onion, mustard 2. the en fuego - hot pepper relish, hot onions, sriracha, red pepper flakes, mustard 3. Oregon Trail - baked beans, bacon, cheese, potato stix 4. Buff-Aloe - Franks Red Hot, blue cheese dressing, potato stix, celery seed 5. Vermont Bob - bacon, sauerkraut, maple syrup (had to get Quebec Eric some maple syrup...he was starting to shake haha) Video is out now, but these were all super tasty. Dawg house absolutely - Didn't Suck!

Just give this place a try. You will 100% not be disappointed in any way shape or form…read more I am a regular here for a few simple reasons: incredible quality meat, wonderful customer service, a welcoming experience every time, and excellent prepared foods. BBQ is equivalent to a religion in my household, so high quality meat is a must. Everything from Pete's has been wonderful. Brisket, Saint Louis ribs, burger patties, pork shoulder, bacon, etc. are all incredible. Try the Saint Louis Ribs! Incredible seasoning! Staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Shop is spotlessly clean. Prices are fair given the caliber of the meat. Give it a try. You'll be happy you did.

We ordered two meals to be picked up at Pete's Meat at 1-55pm but due to work was unable to pick it…read moreup until 2:50pm. I requested for fresh fries because we picked up late, and the bald guy always cutting up meat there, seems to be operating under some form of substance as he let out a tirade on me about he would be out of business if he's giving out fresh fries. I requested that he takes the fries out, he said no but I can take it out and he would trash it for me, I opted to do that and immediately ediately I took the fries out on tge counter on laminated menu so that it van be thrown out, the guy snatched the food out of my hand and yelled at me that he's walking me out and I told him not to touch me as he was about to drag me out as he held on to my order. After I refused,to follow him out, he walked outside and threw my food out on as shown in the picture and then refused to refund my money because it was paid from online order. I called the cops and typical of Wayne Police Officer to always favored the white race, the police immediately started to antagonize me and told me it's civil. I asked him if it would be a civil if I take the food out without paying and Officer said that would be considered shoplifting, shouldn't the reversal of it be treated exactly as that would be. I had to stand my ground for the Officer not to put his hands on me as he was also trying to forcefully remove from the premise when my meal was thrown out by this person that insisted on not refunding my money back and cops was also about to punish the black girl fir having the audacity to call for help, when cops are supposed serve and protect. Please abstain from Pete's meat if you can, this is not an experience anyone should have to go through. That bald guy, I don't know if he's the owner but there's been no time I'm there that he doesn't seem like he's operating under the influence of something. I've been there before when he was raving about the importance of weed to another employee, it seems that weed is having negative effect on him, as no business-minded person would treat their customer like that over an order of fries. He could have offered to put it back in the oil to get it hot again in lieu of fresh fries and that would have been greatly appreciated but not this terrible experience. PLEAE BEWARE!!!

I stood in a quaint restaurant perched above the Passaic River with my peepers puzzledly peeping a…read moresign that read "Gene the Pinning Machine." The interior was a quirky mix of hand-painted nautical scenes and a shrine to -- who I presumed was -- a wildly successful collegiate wrestler, Mean Gene Mills. "Do you like spicy food?" a voice piped up from behind me. "Yeah, sure." I replied, turning to see a sprightly older man sporting wide glasses and a leather jacket. I'd noticed him earlier rolling up on a three-wheeled motorcycle as I approached the place, parking it neatly around the side. "I'd go for the Chili Dog and the Big Kahuna," he suggested with a grin, adding, "The chili's not spicy but it's damn good." As it happened, I'd already ordered a pair of chili dogs but I nodded appreciatively. "I'll have to try the Kahuna next time." I said. The man introduced himself as the owner and brother of the locally lionized Gene the Pinning Machine. I could see he was proud of his brother's legacy and this hotdog spot he seemed to view as a hobby. "I'm in real estate mostly," he explained. "The hotdog stand is just for fun. I always wanted a spot by the river, saw this place and snapped it up." And he spoke of it like a hobbyist. He told me about his sausage guy up in upstate New York who hand-makes the dogs, sausages, and casings fuel his culinary creations. While some joints boil or fry their hot dogs, he opts for a series of convection ovens--air-frying them. A quirky and distinctive twist I haven't seen before. It's that hobbyist's eye, as I am saying. We chatted a bit longer before he ducked behind the counter to check in with the kids working the line. He greeted each one with a warm chummy hug and their faces lit up at the sight of him. It was clear from the easy banter that he's a boss who's genuinely well-liked. Now, about that dog: An air-fried hot dog feels a little out there--like baking one, you'd figure it'd dry out. But honestly? It wasn't half bad. Crisp on the outside, yet still decently average on the hot-dog-o-meter. Definitely a step up from the boiled variety. The chili, though? Hands down, phenomenal. That, along with the sausage, comes from his guy up in Syracuse -- the same one crafting those hot dogs. Is it worth hauling a box truck to upstate New York for? Hard to say. But it's absolutely worth my five-minute drive to Woodlandd Park to eat. The prices feel right in line with what you'd expect from a boutique roadside spot like this. The interior's compact--think a pair of small tables and a counter. Out back back there's a small deck with a few tables and chairs overlooking the river. Could be a sweet spot when the weather's kind. The menu is substantial with the addition of an ice cream bar, all Gelotti which is a North Jersey staple. The hotdog is a pretty humble food-stuff, if you like them then you won't be disappointed here. It's worth a stop for lunch if you're ever in town.

I have been hearing about Lover Dogs for quite some time and I visited recently for the first time…read more These hot dogs surprised me and I can honestly say that they might well be the best all the way hot dogs in the area. I went back a few days after my first visit because they were THAT good. When I walked in, I was greeted by the owner, Wayne Mills. We had a lovely conversation about how he opened Lover Dogs and how Lover Dogs has been his dream retirement. On the walls, there are photos of his brother Gene who was a renowned wrestler in the 80s. Wayne gave me a tour of the outdoor patio and the downstairs area that he plans to expand for breakfast/brunch. The patio area overlooks a nice view of the Passaic River. After the little tour, I ate my all the way hot dog. Lover Dogs hot dogs are air-fried which I thought was very unique. The chilli sauce is out of this world. Super flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Wayne explained that he spent a long time perfecting the recipe and worked with several people to develop. The hot dogs are Hoffman brand which he discovered when he visited his brother many years ago at Syracuse University. It was really nice to see Wayne pay homage to the previous building owners with a framed collage on the wall. I am a local history nerd so I really loved seeing all of the old photos dating back to the early 1900s. Please visit this awesome local business!
