I have always been a fan of the Brighton hotdog shop. When I come back from Florida that's the first place I go to get one of my Beaver Valley treats. But what in the heck did they do to the size of the hotdog? They are half the size that they used to be, as Nero as a pencil! Very disappointing!!! read more

Food is consistently good & milkshakes are great. Best fries around! Burgers are freshly made & tasty.

I'm a big fan of the Hot Dog Shoppe in general. I've been to this location multiple times over the years. My most recent visit was right before Christmas. As some have said, this isn't the fastest location but my meal (two hot dogs with chili/onion, side of fries) came out lightening fast. Good food for around $7.00. Location is clean and friendly. I've had the burgers, shakes, soup, and breakfast before. You can't go wrong with anything at the Hot Dog Shoppe. It isn't five star dining but you will enjoy it. read more

Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe - Hot Dog with Chili and Onions - Hot Dogs Near Me - Beaver, Pennsylvania

My friend and I stopped here for a quick hot dog since we were in the area. She's been here multiple times and loves it. This place is very simple (not in a bad way) and straight forward. I ordered a hot dog with cheese (melted), ketchup and pickles. They have a drive thru so we just ordered that way. The hot dogs are really good. But the star of the show are the buns. They are perfectly warm and steamed and pair great with the or dog. This was a tasty treat and i would come back again! read more

Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe - Chili cheese fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Beaver, Pennsylvania

It's painful to see the once truly great Hot Dog Shoppe begin to slip a bit. I have been going here for decades (and even worked here for a couple of years in high school a very long time ago), and I still love it. But things have definitely slipped. The chili sauce is clearly still the same recipe and is still great! But the food prep has become very inconsistent and VERY slow! It is amazing how many people are working back there without actually getting the food out. It used to be, with rare exceptions, one person on the grill and one on the fryer, cranking out one order after another as they were called out. Now there is a lot time spent looking around and walking around and opening and closing bags and storage spaces etc. We were there recently on a slow night and they had two grills going, and it still took forever to get the food out. And the burger was cooked to a crisp! Literally inedible because of how hard the bottom of the patty was. Nothing that a little more hands on managing and more energetic workers can't fix, but it seems (unfortunately) headed in the wrong direction.. read more

Good old hot dog shoppe. This place is nostalgia in a brick building for me. This visit I was here with the whole family and we got breakfast. I got the Jumbo Reveille, with bacon, dippy eggs and toast. This place has great prices for all their food, but you really can't beat a giant breakfast and a coffee for under $10. The servers here are always so nice and accommodating. You have everything you need before you know you need it. Happy Eating! read more

Hot dog Shoppe has always been a staple. I love both their breakfast which is served (most people don't know this as their all day menu is counter service) and ever since they added jalapeños to their menu their hot dogs got even better! read more

Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe - Hot Dogs Near Me - Beaver, Pennsylvania

Make sure to INSIST that your dog is "IN A BOX" Otherwise, it will come wrapped in a SAD, WAX paper burrito. Just a cold mushy cylinder of food. ASK FOR A BOX They're too cheap to get actual hot dog boxes (for a hot dog restaurant), so just order all dogs "IN A BOX." Even if you order just one. You DO NOT want what comes in that MUSHY wax paper.... read more

Stopped in while passing through Beaver, PA. The staff was very friendly, and the hot dogs were quite good, although I have eaten better ones. The reason for the 2-star rating is the restrooms, which were disgusting. It appears they clean the restrooms once a month, whether they need it or not. Don't use the restroom before eating, or you will most likely lose your appetite. read more

Used to be the go-to for breakfast. I talked to the manager and they now use pre-cut frozen potatoes. Not worth the money or the trip. AVOID. read more

Just wrote this review to point out the fact that a vegetarian decided to dine at a restaurant called "The Hot Dog Shoppe" and complained the menu is heavily based on Hot Dogs...with limited plant-based options...can't make this stuff up. read more

Ok but I thought the menu was misleading. I saw and ordered their French fries with cheese. The menu didn't say only two of the fries had any cheese on them. While technically in compliance with the menu, I was not satisfied. The burgers and dogs were ok. The drive through was slow. read more

Great hotdogs. Burgers are incredibly fresh and delicious. Italian wedding soup is also really good.

The food was delicious and I ate a whole lot more than usual I had a good time with my family and friends I love it so I was very happy

I did the drive thru at breakfast. They do not have a breakfast menu. I felt like I had to just guess...which shouldn't have been that hard but coming from the south, I expected breakfast biscuits...nope. Breakfast hamburger buns. I just need a menu. That's all. read more

Hot dogs tasted like the cheap franks on sale 0.99 a pack probably pork chicken not beef. The fries were a soggy oil mess.The hamburger was over priced tasted ok. I'm not sure of the rest of the food . I did read they serve breakfast? Didn't see it anywhere on menu .Service was great and quick for the long drive thru line read more

I hadn't been here in years but the food is still the same. So damn good and cheap. You gotta love this place I ordered a few hot dogs with chilli and onions. I didn't take a pic cause I wolfed them down. Sorry read more

seriously ??? i came to this place twice in 2 weeks and each time ordered only 2 hot dogs with either cheese and ketchup and onion and the other week 2 chili dogs with onions how hard is it to slap 2 hot dogs in a bun and send the customer on their way?? especially especially if your grilling hot dogs all the time per your name on the building?? last week i came in at 8:45 pm with no one no one there in the drive thru ~ it wasn't completed and i wasn't on my way back out until 9:03 ??? really nobody there and it takes that long?? i even even made sure to take pics on the outside of people just standing around doing nothing nothing at all but talking?? come on now!!! damn it all ! i and tonight came in at 8 pm and didn't leave until 8:15 for 2 damn hot dogs that are grilling on the grill already that all you had to do was slap 2 on a bun each put the toppings on and the customer is back out the door! and they wonder why fast food hasn't had the business anymore ~ it's because people are not working and letting customers wait for almost 20 min to get their food?? sorry that is not considered fast food anymore if employees are doing nothing but talking instead of doing their jobs and getting the customers their food ~ i can see why the hell they turned off the reviews on here because they don't want negative reviews for their business but damn it 20 min for 2 hot dogs?? #getreal #gimmeabreak read more

Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe - Pulled In At 845 PM & Workers Don't Work 2 get your hotdogs 1 Of Them Is Sitting On The Counter While Talking 2 Others INSTEAD OF WORKING - Hot Dogs Near Me - Beaver, Pennsylvania

This place used to be the best location in Bvr county. The others were good but this one was my favorite. I ordered take out, and it took the gal who ran the register 60 seconds to acknowledge me. Which is not how they do things at the BHDS, they have a French fries person, counter, and cook or two cooks. I ordered and was waiting and waited from 6:47-7:18 now that's long for a place not busy. When the employees stand around and eavesdrop on everyone is not the way to get my business again. I have alot to put in this review. But will finish later read more

This is my go to spot, love everything on the menu & reasonably priced. The only thing I dislike is how SLOW the drive thru is. If you're past the building you can bet you're waiting 25+ minutes. I've seen people walk inside, order & leave. This is after they showed up well after me while I sit and wait in the car. Need to pick up the pace at the drive thru in Beaver. Do better. read more

This is more of a review for the owners. I love Beaver hotdog shop. There are certain times of the day where they are so busy. But something really needs to be done to help the efficiency of it. I pulled in on a Sunday evening at 4:25 PM, and the drive-through was out the parking lot. I called To ask how long to go order will take. They told me 10 minutes. I place my order on the phone, which was a whole debacle itself, paid over the phone,,I proceeded to then wait 43 minutes in the lobby for my order. Something needs to be done with their drive-through/phone orders/to go orders/dining room orders. We are fully aware that Covid has changed the way restaurants operate, but this location desperately needs some help. The employees were great, and trying to help, but it was too much for the amount of employees they had. read more

My wife and I went to the Beaver Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe Saturday September 17, 2022. We ordered hot dogs, french fries and drinks. First, the buns tasted like rejected buns; they did not hold the hot dogs and fell apart which means we ate the dogs without buns. Second, the french fries were over cooked and tasted terrible; which means we did not eat any fries. The worst experience at this location. How could a company who specializes on hot dogs and french fries screw up that badly. They may want to change their name to Reject Hot Dog Shoppe. Their changes to cheap buns and fries left a bad taste in our mouths. We have told numerous friends and relatives about our experience and most of them echoed they experienced the same issues. You probably don't care but we will never go to this location again. read more

First time at this location and it was kinda confusing as I did not know to wait to be seated or order now. So i asked and was told I had to order them sit and wait for my name to be called. There was no line and there was a few groups of people dining but not packed. Service was relatively fast maybe five minutes for two dogs and a water. The dogs where warm and the bun was soft! Lots of chili and not to much of a kick to the spice. The cheese is always great even at this location. And the onions add a real snap! I recommend this place to people looking for a fast cheap bite. read more

Drive through and overall speed of service is terrible. Has been for years and ownership has done nothing to make it faster. It's one thing to wait 5 min in drive through, but 10,15, 20 minutes! It's ridiculous! They are always the last to update with technology and/or too cheap to invest in updating their systems. The drive through speaker looks like a speaker from the old fashioned drive-in movie theaters...from the 1960s...and sound like an early "talkie film." The only thing that redeems them is that their food has permanently implanted itself into the psyche of the population it serves. Probably why people have put up with terrible service (drive through speed) for so many years. read more

God I miss hot dog shoppe first place I go everytime I come up from NC amazing cheese

FAVORITE breakfast spot hands down. Love the employees. Love the food. Love the coffee warm ups. Keep up the good work HDS!

My campaign to hit every BHDS continues... BHDS grills a decent Oscar Meyer weiner. It is what they're known for after all, but the real story lies in their fresh-ground-daily (at a central processing facility) burgers, fresh-made-daily chili (see the burgers), and fresh-cut-daily toothpick french fries (see the burgers, again). A pattern is emerging? Can you see it? The burgers are sublime little creatures that are never frozen,are grilled to order, and thus annihilate Big Macs and Whoppers. The chili is rich, not over-beaned, and hides large clusters of that same chopped beef. The fries are simply handful-to-mouthful, handful-to-mouthful...etcetera, yummy etcetera. I challenge thee to just order one damn burger! Just one! Bah! Let's see, what all did we order Saturday afternoon for lunch? 4 cheeseburgers; 2 for each of us. Kay's Build: Chili and Onion. My Build: Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mayonnaise, and Bacon. 2 LAAARRRGGGE soft drinks. 1 large order of french fries, plain. 1 small order of french fries with chili and cheese. 1 crock of chili for me. Our total? $19.61! The food is excellent, fresh, AND downright affordable. As a company, I hope that BHDS doesn't expand too hastily and become so vast that it loses its charm and attention to quality. P.S.This BHDS is probably the second-largest and spiffiest I have been to thus far. read more
