Well we come every year on our trip to see family I think it's been here since 1928 (pretty sure I've got that right). Simple and absolutely fantastic hot dog. No matter where I've been, Abe's Hot dogs are the best. Take out is probably better than eating in. I'm sure they're not known for great table service. Although it exists but don't expect much. The five star is on the Hot Dog with everything. They have the most wonderful ABES SAUCE. Pass on everything else. The Potato pancakes taste like hash browns from Burger King. read more

Checked out Abe's a couple weeks ago for the channel to test the 2 local dog spots against each other. While Abe's did slightly edge the competition, and I know that with the nostalgic effect of the people growing up here they will say these are fantastic, they're honestly pretty middle of the road if you've done some traveling and tried dogs all over. Certainly not bad, but nearly any dog I've had in North Jersey, NY, Chicago, Vegas, etc. I found to be better. This is obviously preference based but that's where I stand. Either way, Abe's Didn't Suck! Check out the video for this spot and hundreds more on my social pages here - https://linktr.ee/Didnt_Suck read more

We always try to come here when we are in town. So we have been here many times, and typically order hotdogs with everything. Today was no exception. My husband and I got two hotdogs with everything each plus an order of onion rings to split. Additionally, they also have Fountain RC which I also usually order. My husband stuck with his traditional order of Coke. as always the hotdogs were wonderful, the service was fast and friendly. They do close at 5 PM no matter what the yelp page says. read more

Service was good. Hot dogs not as good as the Abe's on South Main Street. It was cold inside as we could feel a cold draft on our legs while sitting at a booth. read more

Great food and service, friendly staff. I'm never disappointed when I go to Abe's for lunch!

Hot dogs and chili sauce are very good. Service is fast and friendly. We always stop and pick up at the Abes on Barney street. Yes I feel that they are very different from south main street. Restaurant is big if you choose to eat inside and again, always fast and friendly. read more

The hot dogs have remained consistent over the years ....the drive thru is convenient for on the go

Been going here all my life , my father the same , greatest chili dogs ever , amazing menu and great atmosphere, hands down the best all time in the valley , oh and they have fries unlike a few other spots . read more

Family run so five stars. Good selection of menu items , chili sauce was really really boring. Hotdogs were fatty greasy. I was hoping for a really great meat sauce, hotdog experience, and was let down. Might go back for some of their other offerings, but definitely not the chili dog. read more

Abe's is always a fan favorite with there hotdogs and I agree! The fries are always a good way too go too! Always happy to get some abe's. The staff is always a pleasure. read more

Amazing food and service. I will be back to this establishment to dine again. Great food, good prices.

I am skeptical about a lot of regional food establishments much beloved by townies from coast-to-coast. Like pizza, variations on chili dogs can be found nationwide with boisterous civic boosters extolling the unique characteristics of their oh-so-special local favorites. The hot dogs at Abe's are a variation on the "Texas Wiener" (a.k.a the "Coney Island") which has its origins in Greek immigrants in Paterson NJ and very little to do with Texas or New York. The meat-tubes served at Abe's are fairly ordinary dogs served with a "homemade" meat sauce on a regular white-bread bun. They are incredibly cheap and enjoyable. There are several different "Abe's" in a five mile radius of Wilkes-Barre (and some carbon-copy competitors) but my fave is this storefront on South Main St. The vibe here is vintage American lunch counter in a manner that is long gone in most places and endlessly replicated in chain restaurant simulacrums in every corner of the globe. Formica counters, spinning stools and bright fluorescent lights that were old when Eisenhower was still in the army. A good value and worth a visit. A carton of chocolate milk seems to be the favored pairing with a couple of Abe's dogs for reasons lost to the ages. Cash only, buddy. (Don't say we didn't warn ya!) read more

I've been going to Abe's since I was a little girl, and it is the same as always. Great hot dogs and pierogis. The service is always friendly and the food is cheap. It doesn't get much better than that. read more

THIS location of Abe's in the best in the valley. It's what I remember as a lunch counter grill - dogs, burgers, steak sandwiches. But, they also do a very tasty breakfast for a very fair price. read more

This is my favorite hot dog place in the valley (ok, besides Maureen's foot longs!!). I like the hot dogs at this Abe's location the most--I prefer the sauce they use here. Service is always friendly and prompt. They have great fries too...crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. read more

Have been dropping off cars for Auto Team for 15 years with parking not to convenient slow park here for @10 minutes and sometimes it's early morning before work with picking up later evening and sometimes go in Abes for dinner because we loved the food. Today you have just lost my business when dropping car off in the morning before work for inspection at Auto Team & was accused of doing a drug deal and taking licenses plate and to never come back again!! Trust me will never be back again & lost my business of eating there ever again!! Especially in the Covid19 pandemic economic crisis small businesses can not afford to lose business. Terrible that you try to give small businesses some business & get scared away!! read more

Abe's got dogs has the pierogi and the hot dog and lost me tell tell you that I have to eat the hot dog! I go there and next to there is that strange usual store and they used to have the skellingtons on the outside when they were somewhere else on the Wyoming avenue weird because I could not eat a hot dog there! read more

Best hot dogs around here. The chili is awesome. This place is a definite must for chili dogs. Everyone knows abes and almost everyone loves the dogs!! read more

Abe's may be know for hot dogs but breakfast is also great! i was asked it i wanted onions and peppers with my hash browns and i was very glad i said yes. The eggs and bacon came just as I ordered them. I loved that the OJ was in a bottle from Nantucket Nectars and was large enough to share. My waitress was the best. And the "locals" were congenial. What's not to love? read more

Let's start off with this is not fine dining. It's a fine diner style establishment. This is great tasting food at a reasonable price with fairly fast service. Try the spicy relish on a dog. It's a good change from the regular. Sam steak is another good one. They have daily specials. On Friday's they have Mac and cheese with stewed tomatoes. Good stuff. read more

Food is amazing that ls for sure. :) But I will NEVER in a million years work there again Trust me . read more

The BEST hot dogs!! Dad took me here when I was 10 yo and I had 6! Have been going ever since, EVERY visit to W-B REQUIRES visits to Abes! Enjoy! read more

My parents come here for breakfast every week. I know why. I ate the best omelet of my life there. The most perfectly cooked eggs .. I ordered a three cheese omelet replacing the Swiss cheese with more Cooper sharp. I loved it. Our waitress Tina was fantastic and kept the coffee full and hot. read more

Amazing hot dogs, best hot dogs in Pa. Also if you like little diners go here and its envirement is were everybody knows each other

This is the "fancy" Abe's hot dog restaurant. In my opinion the S Main St. Abe's is the classic dive hot dog joint; this is like Abe's 2.0. It has real seating, serves french fries, has music, doesn't smell like 10 year old grease, etc... What I'm trying to get at is that this is the cleaner, maybe more family friendly version of Abe's. The dogs taste very similiar to the other(s) locations and are still very affordable. So maybe this would be the Abe's that you go to if you are not so hot on the busier, tighter, hotter, Abe's on S. Main. To be fair, when I am in the area, I go here as much as the S Main location, for me it is location convenience. read more

I had my first "everything" hot dog from Abe's today! I have to say, it was wonderful. I grew up in NJ and we had a place called the "Weiner King" in our town. I have been searching for a hot dog to match theirs for a long time. Abe's everything dog was so close to a Weiner King dog, it took me back to my youth. The finely ground meat in the chili sauce and the steamed bun was what I was searching for. Even though I remember the Weiner King's buns being slightly more fresh, it was a very good recreation of those wonderful hot dogs of long ago. I also remember ordering cheese dogs at the Weiner King, and I noted that Abe's has those on their menu, also. I will definitely be going back to Abe's for more! read more

I love this place! The breakfast is always cooked perfectly and so good! I recommend the western omelet. lunch and dinner are great too. nice size menu for such a small place. Also give you the old time diner feeling. I always have the New York burger it's phenomenal! The staff here is great and always welcomes you with a smile. Half the waitresses can tell me what I want better than I can tell them. I will continue to come here til I leave the area and when that happens it will be my first place I stop at when I visit. read more

I love this place breakfast here is amazing and affordable I only wish they would expand. A must try!!

Tasty little things. I need ketchup on them though. Wife thinks they're fine as is. Either way, we can't take a trip to the valley without stocking up! They reak a bit but just pop em and you'll be a happier person for at least the few minutes you're stuffing your face. Just over a buck for a dog. Gotta love em. read more

Good food but especially try their hotdogs. Their sauce is original. Nice place to eat. Take out or dine in. Its a busy spot especially at lunch. read more

Dogs were good for sure but not taking a card for under $10 frustrating when the the other locations do for atleast $5 ......eneded up paying a $2 atm fee for a 5$ lunch read more

A Wyoming Valley tradition! The tastiest hot dogs and other specialties prepared and served by great people! If you're in the area, Abe's is a 'must visit'! read more

Great little diner type restaurant. Coffee is always hot, as is the food. I usually get chicken fries, French fries and some rice pudding. The chili dogs are great also. read more

I give it 5 cause it's been around so long and their hot dogs are 'different'. They got their own taste nobody else has. They're good too. Every Abe's location i've been to is good. They also have the best breakfast around for the best price. This place just has that special something that will probably keep it in business for a long time to come. read more
