    The Scooby Doo.
    Sean R.

    Was looking for a quick dinner on a cooler Saturday evening and was craving, well, hot dogs actually! My wife and I popped over to The Dog Den. First off - I love the outdoor seating. Despite being near the train station, it was surprisingly quiet. The service that we received was quick, and the food, delicious. I picked up the Scooby Doo and a side of crinkle cut fries. My wife got that mac and cheese, topped with pull pork. My hot dog was delicious - a chili cheese dog with nachos cheese, bacon bits, and jalapeños. Who can't love that. My wife's dish - very flavorful, but heavy (especially on an empty stomach). I'll definitely be returning to try some of the other dogs!

    Loved this road side spot. Always in search of a good dog with a nice snap and they didn't disappoint. It was good and the bun was soft and not split. Got my dog within a minute or two. I would suggest studying the menu in the parking lot if this is your first time before going up to the window. There is lot of outdoor seating directly in front, across street and in front of parking spots. Nice sign with some history of the building as well.

    I've been meaning to go to this restaurant for so many years! The kingdom hotdog was just what I expected - Delicious!!. The Bill Murray was not as seasoned i think the coleslaw watered down the flavor. The manager was friendly and accommodating, providing recommendations for the next time i visit. The only downside I would say is that the tater tots and lemonade were super expensive and they do not have different sizes that you can order. In addition, the hot dog buns were not closed on the bottom so everything fell right through. I had to hold it like a hamburger so that the contents wouldnt fall. I recommend coming for the unique hot dogs flavors specifically the Kingdom

    I was having a craving for a Chicago Red Hot and went a bit out of my way for this amazingly adorable place. The hotdog's themselves are not my favorite, but the place is just total perfection. LOVED the Chicago RedHot, curly fries, and Mexican Coke. Super worth going out of my way for. The CRH came with a perfect poppyseed bun, and the chili dog came with an amazing pretzel bun. I was also spoiled that the weather was absolutely amazing and the place wasn't too busy. I will definitely 100% be back. The people working there were also really friendly and before I left, I grabbed a lemonade for my ride. Also great.

    It's actually a really nice spot despite being on the highway and next to the train station. They made it feel really intimate and lovely over there. Service was good, nothing crazy, but very quick. The dog was delicious and stacked so high with toppings. The fries needed salt and I wish I asked for dipping sauce but overall a really good dog and fries. Highly recommend.

    I am speechless. We missed our train back to Manhattan but as soon as we saw the Dog Den we knew we were already home. The staff felt like our family, the 'dogs like our culture, the scenery like nirvana. Not to mention the music bumpin. I will be taking the train to White Plains solely to eat the menu at Dog Den. Hot dogs: long and grilled Buns: soft and seeded Toppings: plentiful and fresh Tummy: full and happy

    Superb condomints for dogs. However the dogs could have been larger for the price. A. fun different type if spot to hang out and eat.

    I've been absolutely dying to try this place since I drove past it a few months ago. I was worried I wouldn't be able to this year as the temperature cooled down but I'm so glad I was able to try it because let me tell you, it was SO WORTH IT. They have so many delicious hot dog options to choose from, but I landed on the McDogden. It was essentially a Big Mac hot dog (no hamburger). Everything about it just worked, from the hot dog itself to the sesame seed bun, special sauce, and chopped onions. The curly fries and onion rings were also delicious, the curly fries were perfectly fried and seasoned. I was initially worried about the actual hot dog as I have a thing with hot dogs that "snap". If you also have this fear, rest assured, the weenies at The Dog Den do not snap!!

    Bill Murray and Swissy-Shroom
    Drew K.

    Great hotdogs ranging from about 5-8 dollars depending on the toppings. We got the Bill Murray and the Swissy-Shroom. The Bill Murray had a great balance of flavors. The cheddar cheese, the pickle/coleslaw, and the onions were a nice touch. Worth every dollar. The Swissy-Shroom was ok compared to its price. It felt a little heavy. It has Swiss cheese grilled mushrooms/onions on top with mayo. Probably could use less mayo... or add a spice element to the sauce. Or sauté the mushrooms and onions with some peppers, perhaps jalapeños. It just needed a little kick. We'll probably go back because overall the food was great, and we want to try some of the other items on the menu!

    I'm giving the Dog Den 3.5-4 stars because the atmosphere is great. It's located near the White Plains train station and close to the Bronx River parkway trail should you need a bite (or reward meal) after a bike ride to the Kensico Dam. There are bike rails to park your bike and tons of games to entertain yourself with including corn hole. The menu is vast with an assortment of hot dogs to choose from, many of them very unique, just be prepared to get a little messy. I had the Guac Mash & my fiancé the Bernie Mac, you could always build your own or go plain. The tater tots were on point, crispy, tasty, and a little greasy. You definitely need a fork and knife to eat these or at least to eat all the yummies that fall out of your hot dog. The hot dogs are definitely pricier than your average hotdog but I guess that's due to all the extras added on these. I would definitely recommend locals and visitors to WP to check out. Great place to spend some time outside, enjoy a meal and drink, and play some games. Love the vibe for sure. They lost the 1-1.5 stars from me because the two teenagers working the front were not in the best of moods and then proceeded to take their break together and smoke one of those weed pens just a few feet from where we were eating totally disrupting our meal and made us inhale their smoke. So instead of tasting and smelling our food, we were smelling their smoke. I would recommend the management team give its staff down guidance on what's appropriate vs. not in front of patrons especially when eating. There was a family with a baby next to us too, not sure if they got a wiff of that also.

    Bernie Mac & Cheese with Chili for the WIN! Big Hig Tot's takes Tot to the next level! Fast service, fun food, and an atmosphere that will leave you thinking about when you'll be back!

    This is the type of cuisine you'll be satisfied after eating, a few bits and then later on during the day realizing that you're starving after a LONG ASS day of work. You'll come home and then suddenly remember OMG I still have my Dog Den leftovers! Let me tell you something, now I had recently visited this establishment went it first opened way way way back (I met the owner at that time) the SUPER TALL dude (forgive me I did forget his name). Fast forward to now I've watched this place EVOLE! From the interior and exterior this place became PART OF WHITE PLAINS, PART OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY. I was sooooooo grateful (the first day meeting the owner, he shared his passion and why he opened up this business..I believe it was him and his brother as well). But this is an establishment that continues to expand the "Westchester Cuisine Universe" or the "Westchester Restaurant Universe" really look at he details of The Dog Den! The owners poured his HEART into every single details from the menu, the art and MOST IMPORTANTLY the food. The reason I even came back to this Establishment was because I was simply doing my job! Delivering mail lmfao. I ordered the mac and cheese dish with beans, hot dog bits and caramelized onions... The manager had a beautiful energy we shared a few words, the cashier (whom is a aspiring entrepreneur) we shared a few words. The manager gave my water.. The vibe was and is just beautiful. Sure it's just a hot dog spot to you...but to me it's actually a fun CREATIVE, innovative whimsical dream that came to REALITY,it's motivation, it's a place where you will be satisfied you have leftovers.. Please support the locals!! Thank You.

    My visit to Dave's Hot Chicken across from the Kia dealership was a great experience and honestly…read moremore impressive than I expected. The restaurant itself has a really cool vibe. I liked the new-wave graffiti style throughout the interior--it gives the place a modern, energetic feel that stands out from typical fast-food spots. It was pretty busy when I arrived, so there was a little bit of a wait, but it was completely understandable once I got my food. What really stood out to me was that everything came out hot. That may sound simple, but these days it's actually rare. Whether it's places like Burger King, McDonald's, or even fried chicken spots like Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, food often comes out lukewarm. Fried chicken especially needs to be hot, and Dave's absolutely delivered. My entire meal--from the mozzarella sticks to the fries--was fresh and hot. I ordered the mozzarella sticks with a little kick, and they were fire. You can adjust the spice level, and the seasoning gave them just enough heat without overpowering the flavor. The fries were hot and crispy, and they came with Dave's sauce, which was surprisingly good and paired really well with everything. Another nice surprise was the slice of bread tucked underneath the mozzarella sticks--simple, but it really hit the spot. The service was also excellent, and I want to give a special shout-out to Jo Jo and Isaiah working the front line. These two really held it down. Their energy is exactly what establishments like this need. They were engaging, positive, smiling, attentive, and in my opinion they kick off the entire experience from the moment you walk in. The manager also came over and greeted me, asking if I was being helped. I made sure to tell him that the front-line energy is the business, because when your team sets the tone like that, it makes a big difference in the overall experience. The only thing I wish they had on the menu would be bone-in chicken. Wings or traditional bone-in pieces would be amazing because that's usually my go-to. That said, the food I had was so good that it didn't take away from the overall experience. Overall, I was surprisingly impressed with the food, the service, and the atmosphere. If you're in the White Plains area and want hot, fresh food with real flavor and great service, Dave's Hot Chicken is definitely worth checking out.

    The customer service at Dave's Hot Chicken in Tarrytown was excellent. The staff was friendly,…read morewelcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food wasn't the best for us. I'm not a fan of spicy food, and we specifically requested no spice on everything we ordered. Even so, the food seemed heavily seasoned and still had more heat and seasoning than we expected. It was difficult to fully enjoy the meal because of that. Another issue was that the air conditioning was blasting very strongly inside the restaurant, making it uncomfortable to sit and eat for an extended period. Overall, great customer service, but the food and dining atmosphere weren't quite what we were hoping for.
