Texas Weiner I - Some of the best chili I've ever had - Hot Dogs Near Me - Plainfield, New Jersey

I saw ROACHES the last time I went there. Haven't been back since...Staff seemed to have a lack of hospitality as well. Rude, classless people. Food was ass too. read more

I first ate here as a little kid, back in the 40's. This place defines what chili dogs are all about. Two or four chili dogs and some orange pop and you are in heaven. I live in Oregon now but I was back East some years ago and made a special trip just to eat those chili dogs again. If I can drive 3,000 miles for those dogs you can drive across town. This is not the Waldorf. This is a funky hot dog joint. You go there for the hot dogs. The hot dogs are great. ;o) read more

The best hot dogs ever. Been going here since a child. The ambiance is nostalgic but the food is good.

Grew up in Plainfield. It's my first stop for food when I come home. My grandmother used to catch the bus from Greenwich, Ct and get dropped off across the street when Miles Shoes was on the corner. My three older sisters also make it their first stop when they come home. The Shickhause Franks are the best! I love the chili cheeseburgers and fries too! read more

Best in New Jersey! Been going there for 50 years. Chili is amazing. The other food is great as well.

I was passing through Plainfield and pulled up to Texas Weiner 1 and the lights were on and I had to stop. The first thing I noticed was how clean everything was inside. It would make my Italian grandmother proud. Just wow! Not many places take pride in their business but, it shows here. The hot dog was ordered as shown "1 Up and a small Pepsi". It was grilled to perfection by the muscle man behind the counter. Everybody was polite and I would come back again but next time order "Two Up!!!" Go and enjoy one of Plainfield New Jersey's finest dogs and they won't disappoint. read more

Well want to try another spot on this strip but it was closed ,So I ended up here . The place appeared very clean and updated . They had a very small menu , I ordered California Chesse burger , it was not flavorful or even fresh as they make it seem I didn't get raw onions like every Cailf burger I ever had ! The cook appeared Greek and the counter staff Spanish . Staff was easy to deal with but the burger is not good just ok a step up from Burger King . Price were not that great above average for the quality of food . One time visit for I !!! read more

Food wasn't very flavorful but add a Lil salt bcus the portions ate huge and the prices are decent

I used to buy texas wieners dogs for $20 cents when I was a kid. I lived on Roosevelt ave two blocks away. The hot dogs had snap and were tasty. The chili sauce was delicious. Have never found anything to equal it. I believe the owners were Lebanese. I would love to have that smell and taste again. Texas Wieners. read more

BEST HOTDOGS!!!! I remember living in Plainfield as a little girl in the very late 90's/early 90's and my parents would take me to get these delicious dogs! Now 32 years later, I still think about these hotdogs and I remember the distinct delicious taste! I visited Plainfield once since I moved in 1992 and was able to grab a texas weiner, that was like 20 years ago. It makes my heart smile to see the restaurant still open. I live in the south now, but I hope to get me a dog the next time I visit NJ, I'm going to make it a point to do so! read more

I've been coming to Texas Wiener since I was a kid.The CHILI HOT DOGS are just as I remember them. The hot dogs snap when u bite into them, the chili is thick and the onions are sweet... I always order two because one is never enough.. TEXAS WIENER IS A CASH ONLY PLACE! The area has changed over the years but not this Texas Wiener. The minute you walk in your eyes immediately go to the walls. There are pictures of the owner going back over 30 years. This place reminds me of a time warp..There are a few tables and a counter. I ate at the counter because I like talking with the staff.. The staff is very friendly, and when not busy always ready to reminisce about the old days. I don't drink soda so I decided to have a coffee. It was very good and it was made perfectly to my liking.... If you're looking for something fancy then this is not the place for you, but if you want a really good hotdog then by all means stop in for a couple of good dogs. Texas Wiener also makes cheeseburgers and other food. I haven't tried any of them because I come strictly for the chili dogs.. There is a metered parking lot 1 block before Texas Wiener on the same side.. I recommend coming during the day... I used to frequent the Texas Wiener on rt. 22 , but sadly like everything else that has closed. I will definitely be returning when I get my urge for a good hotdog . read more

The best Texas hot dogs (chili dogs). I grew up eating these. I moved out of the area in 1983, but I stop and get a few whenever I get back to the area. We have nothing even close in the Philadelphia area were I know read more

The best hotdogs you'll ever taste! I always get the grilled hotdog with chilli, onions, ketchup. Florida can't touch this!

My mom , me and my 2 sisters would go there often and pick up hot dogs to take home. This was in the late 1950's through the 1960's. A man would be in the window at the grill with hot dogs lined all the way up his arm. With the other hand he would put on the mustard, onions and chili on each one and take 2 off at a time and wrap them. Our car would smell like them for days. Great memories. Best hot dog ever. read more

This hot dog joint is like a time capsule to hot dog's hey days in the U.S. via European immigration. That's what's bemusing about this all, since the entire area as I know it, is now South and Central American and black. The hot dogs and hamburgers are essentially the epitome of flat grilled goodness. They will rival Gray's Papaya and Papaya King any day of the week. The hot dogs have that superb snappy casing and when the guy manning the griddle cooks them, they end up perfect everytime. I personally have not witnessed any safety issues unless you mean to say that "safe" to you means "only white people roll in an area". Additionally if you look closer there are some fantastic taquerias in the area where you will discover tongue tacos topped with awesome pico de gallo and limes as well as mouth watering pupusas from the El Salvadorean joints that are in the neighborhood. If you need help choosing and ordering just let me know. You will like their food better than any chain restaurant around as its cooked to order and was not microwaved in a bag like at Red Lobster. read more

A Plainfield institution. A++++ Great hot dogs. Been coming here since the 1960's! Has been in same location since 1927. read more

I've been going here since I could eat a hotdogs, about 50 yrs. I take Texas dogs to my Uncle in Virginia because he ate them growing up in Plainfield and he misses them.

Texas Weiner I - The Texas Weiner - Hot Dogs Near Me - Plainfield, New Jersey

Great Joint. I lived 2 towns down South Ave. so I was able to hit them,Red Tower,Red Tower II and Texas Weiner II in GreenBrook and do a taste comparison. This place always won. I especially liked the way the original guy used to hold the Hot Dogs on his arm as he applied the chili,mustard and onions. read more

how can you mess up a hot dog.. i was so disappointed. i order 2 hot dogs 1 with chili onions and 1 with sauerkraut, the hot dog taste half cooked, cold, watery and salty like it's mixed with pork and beef.. the chili taste like it was old and from a can and that was cold.. i threw both hot dogs away if i was close by i would have returned my order. read more

The best Texas Wieners!!! Been going there since High School and now I live in Atlanta, I get there 1x a year, and still the best!!

Hands down this is the best Texas Wieners in the area when it cones to food, but thats where it stops. It was a little after midnight on a Monday, The customer service was horrible, the owner was on a break, and we were waited on my a spanish man. We ordered 5 hit dogs, a cheesesteak, orders of fries, and drinks. My sister took one sip and didnt like the fruit punch, so politely asked can she exchange it for pepsi, this man had the nerve to say i already gave you that. This is the first time this has ever happened anywhere in my life, since when do a restaurant deny swapping out a beverage for sonething else? We understand yall dont do refills,thats not what we were asking, but simply exchanging a drink for something else to satisfy a paying customer is a request tgat should have simply been fulfilled, especially when it was a large group of us spending money giving you business!! And on top of that,the other texas wieners in the area does refills, so whats up with that? So we wound up just telling the guy well pay for the soda if its thst much of a big deal! The owner wound up coming in afterwards when we were getting ready to leave, we didnt tell him about our problem with his staff because we didnt want to jeapordize anyones job, but the owner was very very nice, had people skills and great personality,the spanish guy can learn from him, im sure if the owner was there initially when we asked to simply exchange the drink he would have taken care of us, but this restaurant need to have a talk with their staff to work on their custoner service skills asap!! read more

This place has very good food my dad who works here is very funny and he entertains every customer that comes he's the best person but the food is so good that even though it looks like it could fill you up but you always need more than one read more

That's a damn good dog. Not a safe area but they sure know how to make dog. This as far as I know is the TRUE Texas Weiner shop...I've had to ship these to relatives that have moved out of state. I am not kidding. I started going to TW2 because its a tad safer neighborhood. read more

I was in the neighborhood and this place was recommended for a good hot dog. So on my way back to the car I decided to stop in for a dog. There were a couple of folks inside the noticeably older joint including a local cop sitting at the counter. Got a basic hot dog with mustard. Not bad but certainly not the best around. Truth be told, a dirty water dog from most Manhattan street vendors are just as good if not better. Glad I tried it but wouldn't go out of my way to return next time in the area. read more

I gave one star because I couldn't give ZERO. I called this morning to place a order and started by asking if hey had oatmeal. The lady rudely said no and then hung up. I placed my order at Texas wiener 2 because they care about there customers read more

This food was amazing! Always open! I recently stopped by and had a great convo with the owners Rusul and his wife, they will make sure everything is up to top satisfaction. The service is quick and food tastes delicious! For all those halal eaters, the owners have a fully packed menu of delicious food! Everything on the menu is halal! read more

Never rushed out, never left here without being full. I been coming every morning for the last 17 years. Every morning I want to come back for lunch. Their options food is endless.

Hello me and my wife had a Valentine Diner and it was Great . the services was excellent. Can't wait to go back.

Their food is pretty good I get the bacon cheese burger to start my day off right and it does the job. Good service as well.

I, like so many others, have been going here for longer than I care to say. Way way back my father installed a new grill for them. I got a free Texas Weiner! This amazing place has ruined me for other imitators (except for the one that opened in Greenbrook). I do try to train other places but, to no avail. They are still the best! read more

The worst morning staff ever. No customer service skills at all. The coffee cup was so hot and they refuse to double the cup unless I pay $1 for an empty cup. Why should I pay $1 for an empty cup when that is what I pay for the coffee. I will never go back in that place. read more

Good eats!! I don't have an issue with the "safety" factor, the only draw back is available immediate parking.

Had Texas weiners good but not WOWED, dog kind bland chilli dry not great flavor, good but not great. Nice clean place very nice service will stop again when in area. read more

This is Old School, New Jersey Texas Weiners at their best.The coffee is pretty good. In the many years I've been going there since back in the day, I've only had the hot dogs, which are great, and burgers, which I haven't had in quite a while. read more
