I love hotdogs and I love the Hot Dog Shop. The best all beef hotdog in the area with all kinds of condiments. The food is all homemade and besides hot dogs they have grilled cheese, chicken and barbecue sandwiches and now add their New Loaded Baked Potato, and much more. The staff was so friendly and the atmosphere inside the very clean resturant is a nostalgic trip back in time with music to match. For good food at a great price this is the place to go.

Great service and great food. A refreshing break from the normal food places around. Love their grilled cheese sandwiches. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual with a hint of nostalgia. So far it has been quiet when we have visited and that is a big plus since we have two kids with sensory issues. My kids love the nostalgia atmosphere it has and all the decorations. Staff is very nice and attentive. They have a drive thru as well.

Looking for a decent burger? Stop at Rte 19 restaurant, meet Jeff and his family business. The smash burgers are pretty tasty. You will find Coke and Mountain Dew at this shop, some of the most unique menu items, and be treated like family. Be sure to have a warm cookie for dessert. We will definitely be back soon.
