Hot Works Dog and Spicy Chili Dog

Great place to grab a dog. Fast, efficient service. Toppings are top notch. Snap on dog is very good. Definitely a must stop when in the area. Only issue is that the taste of the dog got lost in the toppings. But still a solid choice. Staff is friendly and know how to build a dog without getting sloppy. Truck is pristine. Prices are beyond reasonable for what you get. Put them in your GPS.

Spicy Onions and Mustard

Wanted to compare some local trucks so I grabbed some dogs from Tony's. First thing was they had the Manhattan Special soda. I love that stuff so I was pumped. Nice kick from these onions but I will say in the Newark area I had other onions I preferred more. Won't say from where, don't want to pit one against another...plus now you have to go looking for them and give these trucks some business ;) The chili cheese dog was solid, really enjoyed that one. There is another truck (different one than earlier) who I feel has better chili, but this was a winner anyway. I'd definitely grab a bite here again.

Mustard kraut and hot onions

I've been coming here for almost 40 years. It's not the same as the old Tonys nothing ever will be, but it's pretty close. The original owner sold the business to the guy that used to deliver the hotdogs to him and he's carried the torch ever since. The onions and chili are still great. The hotdog is a little skinnier, that's because I think they stopped making the old hotdogs which were called Golden D brand. Anyway, I will continue to come here and support this business when I'm in the area. The truck has been there since 1968.

Amazing chilly n cheese.

Decent truck located in the rotunda of Branch Brook on Lake Street and Park Ave. Got a hot sausage with potatoes and mustard. Was good, wished it was grilled tho. Next time I will get chili and cheese, but for me it's best to eat it early in the morning so I won't have heartburn for the rest of the day lol

The truck where the magic takes place

Co-worker and I needed hot dogs for lunch today because it was beautiful...not many more of these days this year. This was my first time here (still working on the nj.com top 25 list and this was #4 on the list and our 15th crossed off the list...ten to go) and was impressed with these dogs...hell, I KNEW they'd be great because there were cops in line with us - never been someplace with local police where the food sucked...NEVER! Ok...So I had three dogs today...and I'm sorry, but for dirty water dogs you can never go wrong with Sabrett's. Anyway, one with Chili/cheese, one with chili/kraut/mustard, and one Superdog (Chili/cheese/hot onions/ mustard/kraut and maybe relish). Their chili is really good...not quite as good as Curbside Cafe's chili in Parsippany, but right up there with a great texture and wonderful flavor. The Superdog was almost TOO much 'stuff' on the dog, but it was tasty just the same...and the hot/spicy onions have a NICE kick. I'm not usually a huge fan of the dirty water dogs (I like the flavor of a fried or grilled dog better), but I would come back here in a heartbeat. Beautiful view of the lake in the park, church bells ringing in the nearby cathedral at noon, and easy parking. My co-worker and I both agree...two thumbs up!

Best Hot Dog Truck in Newark. The dog has just a firm enough snap and they taste great. Best Hot Onions easily of any truck, that's not even debatable. Always friendly and fast service. Easily accessible and the dogs "hold up" well if you are planning to pick them up and bring them back home (usually while eating a dog and driving with napkin hand ;)

Left hot onions and cheese, right chili and cheese.

Still just as good as I remember growing up around the corner. The flavors and ingredients are the same down to the awesome hit onions.

This hot dog specialist food truck has very reasonable prices. I walked by almost daily for a year…read moreand finally went for it. I got the OG hot dog with chipotle and sauerkraut for $2.50. There is a cute outdoor seating area with a tent and potted plant decor. It's nicer than it looks; I mean that in the best way possible! It looks kitchsy if you pass by quickly but the decor and outdoor furniture is actually nice and sturdy and the eclectic nature works. The inside of the food truck has vintage photos of celebrities and 50s pinups eating hot dogs. They have lots of interesting sodas and some chips and snacks too. Great for a casual local date or family outing!

Ok, I know I've reviewed a lot of hot dog places, but I keep finding them and someday I will find…read morethe best. I was driving someplace ELSE for lunch today and saw Joey Mac's while driving down Frank E. Rogers Blvd in Harrison...wherever else I was going was gonna have to wait! Pulled right over and jumped out to grab and go. I ordered a Chili/cheese dog, a chili/cooked onions/mustard dog, and a smoked kielbasa with sexy kraut and mustard. Skin-on Sabrett's always make for a delicious dirty water dog and this was the case today. The Chili/cheese dog was excellent...with a very nice tasting chili that isn't too sweet. I don't know what they do to their cooked onions, but my second dog was awesome as well-nice connection between the chili and the other toppings. But the coupe-de-gras was the kielbasa...looked like a regular hot dog but when you bite into it is is smoked heaven! Whatever the hell they put in their sexy kraut (other than the chopped bacon and onions) really is SEXY! SO.FRIGGIN.GOOD!!!! When my co-worker returns from his current trip we will need to stop here again!!! I don't know how long they've been here, but I can't believe I'm the first to review this little gem.
