They showed that hospitality includes meeting special needs. Their servings leave you with leftovers. The atmosphere puts newcomers at ease. The team members were remarkably friendly and helpful. The place offers endless compliments to give. read more

Being a true aficionado of hot dogs that I am and hearing so much about how much better New York hot dog styles are than those of Chicago or Texas, I gave the SnackBOX a try. First off, other than the signature custom gourmet dogs with actual goose liver foie gras, caviar and truffle dressings that I've had, these were pretty expensive but totally within reason for New York, a city with outrageous prices on everything. For my snack I went for their Coney Island with the spicy Coney Island meat sauce, onion and yellow mustard topped with what to me was a rather inferior cheap shredded sharp cheddar, possibly out of Cuba, New York. This may have been the real McCoy of a Coney Island but for me, not all that good. The meat sauce tasted more like a Cincinnati, Ohio, Skylines Chili sauce absent any meat flavor as one would get with a Texas Hot. Being right dead center in Times Square, however, it SnackBOX makes a great place to sit, relax and do some people watching. read more

My bf was so determined to try hotdogs in NY and he found this. It's close to our hotel and in the time square area. Literally took us 15 minutes to find it, google maps and the yelp map both had different locations. The line wasn't long when we were waiting for our turn but it took a long time for them to get our hotdogs ready. We ordered four different hotdogs and my bf's expectations were high up but he said it was just okay. It tasted like any other hotdog, the only difference were the toppings. The hotdogs were pretty pricey compared to a lot of hotdog places. There's limited seating that has some shade during the day but if you love the heat then you shouldn't have a problem finding a seat. read more

Was craving a hotdog and was in Times Square so grabbed one here. The dog had a nice snap and flavor to it. Nothing really fancy about the bun. The hours listed on yelp is inaccurate. They were supposedly closing way earlier than what's listed on yelp and told me since they were about to code they could not sell/serve any of their specialities so I had to order a hotdog and add whichever additional I wanted (which costs more). I opted for the tomatoes relish (good!), sautéed onions (can't go wrong) and sliced peppers (cheap, jalapeños..felt this was a ripoff). All in all, it hit the spot and location is convenient if you're around this tourist trap area. Over priced but that's expected. read more

Late review, but after trying multiple hot dog stands and carts to find THE BEST ny dog I've ever had... this was the winner. There was no other hot dog that compared after a week of trying to fulfill my craving. Almost gave up hope trying a bunch of boiled, standard dogs. This stand was a beautiful accident we stumbled upon walking back to our hotel. They give you options to create your favorite hot dog. I decided to pick the good old New York dog toppings. What made this hot dog wasn't the toppings, but the crunch that the hot dog had. Soooo delicious. This definitely was the "you need to try a New York hot dog" I was looking for. read more

SnackBox was the best hot dog I had while in NYC (sorry Nathan's)! I ordered mine NY style (..because, "When in Rome..."): with mustard and sauerkraut! It had a nice snap, a delicious toasted bun with a nice crust outside and soft and chewy inside. Total win in the encased meats department! read more

SnackBOX - Hotdog with mustard & sauerkraut (+ $0.95) - Hot Dogs Near Me - New York, New York

Let me start of by saying it's been years since I visited NYC specifically. The "Brooklyn Dog" was what I ordered off of the menu @ $5.50 per frank as I recall. This beef frank brought back childhood memories of the delicious franks you would find all over the city. It had the perfect amount of bite on the casing they used to make these franks. Topped off with sauerkraut & Brown mustard it was a home-run. If you are not used to NY style hot dogs, please remember they are not the cheap Esskay, Ballpark pork/chicken hot dogs commonly sold to the general public. Also they have some very tasty looking Sangria. read more

I'll be this first to admit it's more expensive than most street vendors ~11.75 for a lobster roll~ but it's worth it. Best, freshest lobster roll not in New England. There were literally full pieces of claw meat in the sandwich. It was bright and with acidic tones and fresh herbs. The slightly toasted generic hot dog bin was the perfect vessel, it let the lobster meat shine, and it shined. Milkshake had tons of fresh vanilla flavor and was great (though maybe not worth 6 bucks and change) The service was a little slow, but only because they pay attention to detail. They also have baked goods from around the city (i.e.. doughnuts from doughnut plant) Side Note: It was really cool, Priscilla Queen of the Desert was shooting a promo and so a very ripped man in a backless dress and hair thing was singing and dancing with the crowd. read more

Many New Yorkers rave about the hot dogs in the city. Once I was able to spot a hot dog stand in Times Square, I was all in! Luckily, the "SnackBox" name caught my eye. It was right in the middle of Times Square. With people constantly walking, I was determined to get my hands on a hotdog. I was nicely served by the guys at SnackBOX. I had the regular hot dog with pineapple relish and fresh onions ($5). It was delicious, but nothing that made me say.. "Woowwww that was amazing!" Also, more extras on your hotdog, the more it will become pricey. Nevertheless, it was good, just don't expect high expectations. read more

I stopped by SnackBOX several times while staying at the nearby W Hotel. The first time was just to try a hot dog, but then it turned out to be one of the best hot dogs I've ever eaten. Over the course of four days, I just kept going back for more! Best hot dogs ever! I had several variations of toppings, but what made the hot dog so great for me was the hot dog itself and the bun that it was served on. The beef hot dogs tasted great, had just the right amount of crunch of the casing, and was not overly salty. The buns were soft and a bit chewy - the perfect texture to complement the sausage. I tried three combinations of toppings, but my favorite was the green tomato relish! read more

This place is a hidden gem smack in the middle of Times Square, ironic as that seems. We got a hot dog with pineapple relish, chorizo with onions, and a lobster roll. My favorites were the chorizo and lobster roll. Hot dog was ok. The Chorizo had a perfect bite and was very flavorful. The Lobster Roll was very good, probably better than the ones at Chelsea Market. The lobster was fresh and sandwiched between a perfectly buttered and toasted bun. Not many places have great buns, but this is what makes this place stand out from other street food places in NYC. Like other reviewers said, it's a little pricey but worth it because you can taste the quality. read more

First time traveller to NY and first time experiencing a NY hotdog... definitely was not disappointed. Great location, adequate seating, fast friendly service, price decent (considering the location and general high prices of street food in Times Square) I ordered the "Times Square " which was fully loaded with grilled onions, peppers, bacon and mustard. Great flavour combo ! If I get the chance I'll definitely go back and try the "Brooklyn" read more

Really? I know it's Times Square, but I wanted to yell at all you insane Yelpers who think this is worth eating. Overpriced hot dog covered in crappy toppings. Like, the shredded cheese on top was just sad and even tasted a bit like it may have been bad. I know it's not the same thing, but follow your nose to the Belgian waffle place behind Snackbox of you're looking for a snack in Times Square. read more

Excellent hot dog. It's a nice stand out on the street with hot dogs, shakes and some sweets. Paid $10 for a hot dog and a lemonade, NYC is pricey so this is ok. read more

Hot dogs are Oh So Good! For a Price... Food: 3.5 Stars Snackbox has one of the "best" hotdogs I have tried in the city. On that note I should state it is very rare I eat hotdogs. The overall flavor is good and the skin has a nice little snap when you bite into the hotdog. The add-ons mostly range from .50 to 1.00, but the quantity given is a rather healthy amount. I am a big fan of onions and the caramelized onions are cooked properly. The pretzels are leaps and bounds better than the ones you would get from a street vendor. There is no comparison. I love those caramelized onions. Service/Speed: 4 Stars I haven't waiting on any lines so far, which means I can't judge how fast the service is during the lunch rush. Every time I have come here I never waited longer than 5 minutes to order and receive my food. Once again, I am never around for the major rush. The service is friendly and happy to help you. One of the workers was so happy he did a little spin and the hotdog went flying across the food cart and fell to the ground. I was happy when he followed all the proper procedures to ensure the sanitary quality remained high. He picked up and threw out the hotdog, removed his gloves, washed his hands, and put on a new pair of gloves before preparing another hot dog. While those steps should be the standard, it isn't in most places. Overall: 3.5 Stars In comparison to the majority of hotdogs for sale on the streets of New York this is your best bet. While there are other vendors out there that are just and good, as well as half the price out there, they aren't easy to find. In the end you pay for the quality. If you pass by Snackbox in Times Square and are craving hotdogs and pretzels, this is your best bet. read more

The worst customer service ever! The person working the front was rude and on his phone the whole time with an attitude. Too over priced and the food wasn't that great. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If yelp allowed me to give a zero I would've. read more

SnackBOX is the BEST hot dog I've ever had. I keep coming back to it every time I visit New York. The banner says "NEW YORK HOT DOGS" and SnackBOX is labeled on the side, so don't be confused when you're looking for the stand. I never thought I could like a hot dog so much until I tried this place. It's located right in the middle of times square and the service is super fast. Hot dogs are pricy but totally worth it. Definitely a welcome treat on a bitter winter day or a small reward during a hot day of walking all over the city. read more

I was on a hunt to find a place that can match up to the dogs in LA - and I think I found the spot. Although they didn't beat out the LA dogs in my opinion, their dogs/toppings are BOMB! The Pineapple sauce and the green sauce (forgot what it was actually called) made the dogs tastes great. And their Kosher dogs were delicious. I over heard they got moved from their original spot but still in Times Square, so keep an eye out for this spot. read more

Wanting to try a hot dog from NY we figured the safest bet for our stomach would be in the middle of times square. Well the stomach made it out alive but the wallet got jumped. 22 and some change for some hot dogs that had little to no substance in the taste category. I guess we paid for times square location not the quality or taste of the hot dog. I'm not saying it was nasty it just honestly wasn't nothing special. we had 2 of the Coney island dogs with no onions. And 2 can drinks. read more

Street food, fancified! With a cool "permanent" location near Times Sq, this is a definite upgrade on NYC's myriad Dirty Water Dog options (not that they needed the help, but if you're looking for something a little more glamorous, SnackBOX is your jam) Highly recommend the all-beef hot dog with raw onions! NOM. My friend had the bratwurst and said it was delicious as well! Friendly staff definitely added to the experience. Not your standard cheap hot dog, which is reflected in both taste and price. Pastries and other goodies looked great too -- I will have to check these out on my next visit to SnackBOX. I'm into it! read more

So to the who Evers that gave this place a 3 4 or even 5 stars you have no taste buds or know what quality food is... read more

Great mid-day stop if you're looking for a delicious snack between lunch and a late dinner. Seating is limited, but fortunately the eats are hand-friendly so you really don't need a table. Even if a seat isn't available, stick around and take in the views of Times Square! Be sure to try the lobster roll with a fresh lemonade. You wont be disappointed! read more

Can't get more "New York" than (upgraded) street vendor-purchased hot dogs (a quintessential part of NYC food culture) paired with red metallic fold-out chairs and round tables (now a regular sight at NYC public spaces albeit not necessarily in red), amidst the Times Square bustle and lights. Of course, I took the coward route by visiting on a rainy weekday morning. read more

Lobster roll was pretty good and the hot dogs are too but what a freakin rip off. For a tiny hotdog (i'm from Chicago, your dogs are freakin tiny NY) and a small lobster roll, i paid somewhere around $23. By no means was it bad, but it was over priced and just not worth it. Maybe i'm just spoiled with Chicago food. read more

Stopped by during lunch. Definitely not what I expected, very disappointed $4.50 for a hot dog and condiments cost extra, nothing special about the dog Lobster roll, one of the worst I ever had.

The food at this"Snack Box" booth was so good and the location of it is so convenient. We were getting tickets at TKTS TKTS and wanted a snack and that's where we spotted this cool design of a building in the middle of Time Square. We didn't have much time so we ordered a lobster roll, A hotdog with with pineapple relish and special sauce, and a shake. The service was quick and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The price was reasonable, the Lobster roll had a good amount of lobster and was very tasty, and we had more than enough time to make our show. We have gone back several times and have tried several different things and it has been all good.(The Spanish sausage was sooo good too.) It's such a great location to get a bite there and to sit in the middle of Time square. GO, ITS WORTH IT! Great service, fresh fast food, and great location. Enjoy! read more
