Davy's is an absolute gem! The building is nostalgic and adorable -- all the feels. The hot dogs and fries are perfectly delicious and Dave, the owner, is genuinely the sweetest. He welcomed us like old friends and even shared heartwarming stories about his dad and the restaurant's history. It's the kind of place that makes you smile the second you walk in. A must-visit. Our new favorite spot!! We need to get this place on the Diners, Dive-ins and Dives show ! read more

Davy’s Hot Dogs And Grill - Burgers Near Me - Mount Arlington, New Jersey

Stopped in for an early lunch while passing through on our way back home to CT, and we're happy we did! The food was great and the prices were even better - only $33 for a family of 3 with leftovers for the trip! Davy himself overheard the kiddo ask about ice cream and brought him out one on the house We would love to come back next time we're in the area read more

We came for the atmosphere, and lets just say that's all there is. Everything you order will feel like all bun, even if you get a specialty dog with two hotdogs in one bun. The only redeeming quality is that the portion of fries is incredibly generous (and definitely to be shared) and they have a liquor license so you could grab a beer or a bad mixed drink to help it down. In case the photos are misleading, the dogs look/feel/taste like just a sabrett. Sorry to report these are the worst dogs we've had in NJ read more

First time in a long time, nothing about Davy's kept us away just life's circumstances. Hot Dog with chili and mustard was tasty. Massive order of fries could feed a party of four! Nice onion rings,too! Glad we made out way back today. The construction at exit 30 (Interstate 80) has been ongoing for years, no lie but the exit ramp is now open making Davy's accessable. read more

Very random and strange place. It's cheap, and on the road if you are going upstate or into NY from the city. The hot dogs there are so many different flavors, it's very interesting. I thought they were just standard and ok though. read more

Davy’s Hot Dogs And Grill - Burgers Near Me - Mount Arlington, New Jersey

7/11/25: (Update) We were craving a hotdog after the Lake Hopatcong Boat Lunch Cruise. (The cruise will be on an upcoming review.) The outside of Davy's Dogs looks like an adorable old fashioned Swiss Chalet. Today, we ordered two hotdogs with mustard and Kraut. Hot dogs are always delicious here! Customer service is always very good! Of the many times we've been coming here, we finally met the friendly owner Davy. Davy's Dogs has other food besides hotdogs. They also serve beer and wine. Davy's Dogs is located right off of Route 80 in Mt. Arlington, NJ. read more

I love the idea of this place. They have so many kinds of dogs you can try, all with fun names and a ton of toppings. I also love the divey vibe of the inside and outside, as well as the drive-through option. The service is very nice and packed us with extra utensil and napkins when we asked. The only thing is that the dogs themselves are very thin and small. I was expecting this giant dog with an explosion of toppings. We ordered 3 dogs and they were really small and left us hungry! You'd have to order a ton of them to actually fill up on these. I'd recommend ordering some fries and a cheeseburger along with the dogs to fill up a bit. Overall this was very fun to try and I will probably be back, but will adjusy my order a bit if I'm looking to really fill up. read more

Best dogs and fries around with wonderful service!!! Eat inside or outside in the beer garden !!! Charming Swiss house vibe.

Best hotdogs, fries and onion rings. Fast service and authentic ambiance. Very family oriented.

My family has been making Davy's the stop we most look forward to whenever we're on the road for many years now. The food is always excellent and the portions are super generous! Milkshakes so thick, you may need a spoon! Yum. HUGE baskets of fries. The Owner and staff are are friendly and engaging. They are always seeking to do a thing possible to make your visit a treat. A family friendly respite for good food and fun. Check it out!! read more

Been coming here for many years for the nostalgia. Today my family and I were here and I paid with a credit card. The bill already had the tax added and it added the 3% CC fee which is fine but then the CC machine added the tax a second time. I showed it to the person at the counter who agreed it messed up and showed the other counter person who said it keeps doing this. They got a "manager" from the back who came over and told me it's the CC fee. I tried to explain it was double charging the tax, she got nasty, grabbed the receipt from me, crumpled it up and threw it out and took the cash from the register for the double tax and threw it at me at the counter. All that over $1.35. What a bizarre experience AFTER both counter people already knew it was wrong. read more

A wonderful experience at Davy's Hot Dogs and Grill in Mount Arlington, NJ. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The hot dogs were fantastic. The French fries were superb and were the perfect balance of crispy while still light and dressed with the right amount of salt. The coffee was delicious and the perfect roast. Thank you David for suggesting the coffee-great choice. All of the employees were kind, attentive, and energetic. David (the owner) was friendly, kind, animated and eager to share about the history of Davy's Hot Dogs and Grill. The atmosphere is family friendly with numerous booths and tables to sit at. This is a great spot right off of Route 80 when you need a quick bite to eat that leaves you feeling full for the next few hours. There are a variety of toppings for the hot dogs as well as a variety of other choices of entrees such as salads, burgers, and breakfast items. read more

We love Davy's and always stop there on our way home from PA to NY. There are a crazy variety of hot dog choices and the dogs have that delicious snap to them. The fries were hot and crisp. It's not just hot dogs, they serve breakfast, sandwiches and ice cream. The staff is friendly and service is good. Highly recommend. read more

Delightful! Hotdogs are yummy and the folks here are super nice. Prices were great, and I really loved the atmosphere here. Such a fun stop on my road trip. read more

My coworker and I are blue collar workers and we always go out of our way to stop by even if it puts us behind on our jobs Lol! We honestly don't mind because it's always worth it The hot dogs are great the fries come in generous portions and we even got sauce on the house today! Dave is such a sweetheart, came out and checked on everyone! The place is always clean, quiet and welcoming. Kids always got a smile on there face when I walk in here. Highly recommend!! read more

Really good hotdog. Try from the speciality can't really miss. Staff and owner are very kind and make sure you have everything you need

Listen take it from a guy who can live on just burgers , juicy patties fries that are crispy on the outside and smooth mash on the inside and are piled high, his hotdogs are and toppings are off the charts. Family friendly awesome environment and it's got that old school feel. Felt like home. read more

everyone's really nice, the hotdogs are my favorite by far. I don't know what it is but the hot dogs just taste really good.

We stopped in for a quick breakfast. It's a cute small rustic spot with a small menu consisting of mostly specialty hot dogs and some sides. Our food took a little while but it was pretty crowded. we got 2 breakfast combos! My sunny side up eggs were to be expected and the home fries were deliciously crisp but lacking a little salt. The omelette wasn't anything great but decent for the price. We ordered a specialty dog bc we had to try one. We got the perogi dog and it was lack luster. The topping was good and the flavors went well together it just didn't have any love. It was on a kinda stale cold bun and it was a mighty skinny wiener with one perogi cut in half w/ sour cream and cheese for $4. The whole meal came to $35 (coffee and chocolate egg cream) read more

My review is a mix of 20 years ago and today. 20 years ago, I was an intern in Mount Arlington, and Davy's was right there. We often went out for lunch here and I loved it - the classic split dogs, toppings as desired, nice and cheap for an intern's budget. Today, I went back to look at it, and, well, nothing's changed except the prices. Nothing modernized, which I applaud, but it's difficult to find your way in (I ended up at the counter - in the past we went into the dining room, but I couldn't find that entrance) and now the board prominently advertises Sabrett hot dogs. For the price you pay here, I can bring home a 12-pack of Sabrett and make them myself. Sadly, the magic is gone, but I will live on with the 5 star memories of my intern days. read more

I was looking for a fat grilled dog but disappointed to get a lukewarm (at best), thin dog with thick skin that was difficult to bite through. I thought this was because I didn't ask for a grilled dog the first time so I asked for the second one grilled to give it a fair shot but I couldn't even tell it was grilled when it came out. The skin again looked pale and the dog was cold. The fries were decent. Maybe they should rename is Davys Fries. read more

Great place to stop for some good sabrett hot dogs . A great family run place with history and great service . Excellent fries and great dogs even if they are a little smaller then I'm used to they are great and authentic NYC style . Best dogs in the area worth a trip ! read more

Have been seeing their sign on the way to and from the Poconos for many years. We stopped for gas and happened to see their building. Thought it was a chain but found out from the nice young lady at the drive-thru that this is the only location. Drive-thru menu font was pretty small to read. Picked pierogi bec was curious - but just a hotdog with pierogis and sour cream on top; and Volcano for the spice - it had perfect amount for me since I asked for no jalapeños - not bad for snacks at $3.85 each. Also cheese sticks. Decided to go inside to eat our order. A few tables and booths, lighting is a bit dim with the wood paneling, wood cabin feel which I didn't mind. Restroom available. read more

It's very OK The chili tastes like canned chili The hot dogs were not hot they were barely room temp. The plus is the service was fast and the food was filling. read more

I past but this place very often and it always catches my eyes, because of it's unique A-frame log cabin look. Also, that it has a sign that says 'Drive-Thru' and next to it is another sign that says 'We Sell Beer'...always shake my head and have a chuckle!! One day decided to pop in and grab a dog. The inside is a bit odd, as the outside. The interior decor is a mashup of ski log cabin, a diner, and a hot dog stand...hilarious!! The staff at the counter was friendly and patiently waited for me to decide on what I wanted...breakfast or lunch...brunch times are the toughest!! Their menu board is larger than expected, also they serve breakfast all day. So, I got the breakfast sandwich to go and a hotdog with fries and a shake to eat in. The food was ok, a little pricey for average size portions. The staff was nice as they brought the food to the table. As I was sitting there looking around, taking in the unique decor once again. Not saying it's bad, just needs a few things updated. One area I enjoyed looking at...was a display case with the owner's father U.S. Army service jacket from WWII with a couple of his medals, photos, and letters. Definitely respect and appreciated that display of that history. One day I would like to come back to help them update that display case. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I happened upon this little place and decided to take a chance. I was in town for work, and ended up eating there every night for a week so I could try as much of the menu as possible. Whatever you do, get the Philly dog. So worth it. read more

Roadside hot dog stands are a big part of NJ food lore - Davy's puts its own style and stamp on this NJ tradition. With several "signature" dogs to choose from - there's a combination for just about every palate. If somehow you you can't find one that's right for you, simply choose what ingredients you want from the list and they'll gladly fix it up for you. For me the Volcano dog seemed like a good place to start - Chili, Potatoes, red peppers, Jalapeño and red hot. Great snap on the Sabretts hot dog - just the right amount of heat and the perfectly cooked potatoes had great texture and flavor - the 1st time I had potatoes "on" my hotdog but it won't be the last time. I decided to go with one of my all time favorite hot dog toppings for my 2nd dog - "Red Onions" and it was perfection in its simplicity. Shared a large basket of Fries with the table and really enjoyed those too. Great spot to grab a quick breakfast or lunch - I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. read more

Davy’s Hot Dogs And Grill - Volcano dog - Chili, Potatoes, Red Peppers, Jalapeños and Red hot. - Burgers Near Me - Mount Arlington, New Jersey

The owner stopped by explaining the roots of the business, his father who started, served in the armed forces & built the business from a cart to this incredible restaurant. Was just an unexpected kind touch from the moment we entered till we enjoyed our meal to us leaving! Now this isn't a Michelin restaurant with fancy amenities but it also doesn't need any of that jazz they mean business & they are damn good at it! You go up to the counter offer your food -- tons of breakfast items, hotdog combos & other specials including beers on tap as well as to-go cases! If you're looking for some comfort food, hotdogs cooked to perfection & dressed to perfection then look no further & hit up Davy's it was honestly an easy 10/10. One more note, the service is quick everything is piping hot AND all the food we got was delivered with a warm & kind smile. Thanks again, cannot wait to sneak some hotdogs on my drive home in the future! read more

We just had a fantastic lunch at Davy's Hot Dogs and couldn't be happier about our choice while in the Lake Hopatacong area. Actually, it's worth going out of your way to go to this wonderful casual family restaurant, The food was solidly delicious and generously portioned, especially for the very reasonable price point. Sincerely, with 2025 inflation, getting an amazing hot dog with toppings for $3.99 is almost unheard of! We ordered an Italian hot dog, which was huge and on a really nice French bread type of roll, with a lot of tasty cubed potatoes, peppers & onions and was amazing with just a touch of mustard. So good!! We also had a Disco Dog, which was irresistible with a really tasty hot dog covered with the perfect amount of melted cheese, brown gravy & skinny fench fries. It was such a great combination of flavors, I can't imagine a hot dog without those toppings now! I've officially become spoiled here. There's a really creative menu of options, I had a hard time making my choice bc they all sounded so good. Next time I want to try the pierogie dog, and the Sinkhole dog - iykyk - though we tried their onion rings & they have a dog made up thst way too - must be yummy because their onion rings are on point - perfectly fried and crispy, without being greasy. Highly recommend! We came here mid-day in a hot Saturday and it was busy in the drive through, but I'm glad we went inside to eat. We were treated like family by the gracious staff members who were so attentive, thoughtful and kind. We were lucky enough to meet Davy, who came over to check in and see how we were enjoying our lunch - very much so, thank you very much! It was great to meet the namesake and proud owner, who befriended us and told us stories of his brave father and how the restaurant came to be. This is a family business that is full of heart, soul and love. I'd eat here every day over a chain restaurant, and you should too! Support these family businesses while we still have them! There are so many things to rave about here, from the beautiful Swiss Chalet style building that was lovingly custom built by Davy himself, to the wonderful stories we heard about his dad, who was a Battle of the Bulge Airborne survivor. Wow, what an amazing story of bravery and sacrifice. We were lucky enough to be regaled with some of his stories and we felt goosebumps, it was a really wonderful experience having lunch and meeting the folks here at Davy's. Run, don't walk, to Davy's and have the very best lunch, made with love. Can't wait to go back! read more

The staff was super nice and had a great hot dog. Lots of flavor and the side order of fries was so big!

Come for the ambiance but stay for the smiles! This is our second time stopping at Davys and this time we brought friends... One got all-day breakfast, one tried some specialty dogs (a Sinkhole is now a GOOD thing!) and the kids had ice cream. Fries were FLOWING and they are thin and tasty. Perfectly salted. We ate outside under the shade and chatted with the wonderful owner who went above and beyond to make us at home. Highly recommend you stop for a tasty treat! read more

This place is awesome! The size of the dogs is perfect for trying 2 or 3 different flavors . I had the Spanish, the Texas, and the Azteca - all very good but the Azteca was definitely my favorite. Also, the service is great and the e people here are super friendly. read more

2nd time here in 2 years and it's still so good and they've also added a volcano dog and it's soooo freakin yummy. We came in as a family of 8 and it was so worth every penny and it's not as much as you'd expect. Bathrooms were actually clean (a huge plus if you know me). The service is friendly and the decor is chill and antique. Will definitely one when in the area again. read more

So pulling into this place I was kind of hit with a "what are we thinking with this one" feeling. It's an older looking A frame type all wooden building that looks like it would be set at the bottom of a Swiss Alp serving hot chocolate and crudités plates. Turns out Davy's has some serious dogs, and according to my kids, some pretty tasty burgers as well. We came here after the last day of school last year as a bit of a celebration for my kids, and a way for us to try out a new place. Since having gone, I've also heard their chicken cheesesteak and milkshakes are excellent so I'll need to go back at some point. We ordered some plain dogs, burgers, A chili dog with onion and mustard, and an Italian dog. The plain dogs were solid. My kids enjoyed the flavor and the cost was right in line with anywhere else in the general area. The burgers were also solid. They're served on Jersey Kaiser rolls (which I love) and the meat was juicy and flavorful. The Chili dog was very tasty. A solid chili with good consistency and flavor. Went really well on this dog. The Italian dog was also excellent. Two large dogs with fried potatoes, onions, and peppers on a huge roll. Wasn't even remotely close to finishing it...worth the cost. We'll be back here for sure at some point. A worthy stop with a quick on/off from Route 80. Davy's Dogs - Didn't Suck! read more

After a day out with my son, we stopped in here for a quick dog...kind of dingy looking spot. The dog was boiled from what I could tell and not very good. The whole place was run down but I guess that's the look their going for (Rutt's Hut is a comparison but RH pulls it off nicely). They have a drive-up and serve a couple of different beers (not for the drive-up I would assume). They didn't have a Texas weiner all the way...I guess for the locals this is a go to spot. read more

Place seems like a landmark outside and in. Brings back the Adirondack out of the way restaurant vibe. Counter service was fine and easy. Dogs were ok although I thought on the small side, but you can have them a thousand ways. Fries saved the review, crispy shoestring fries with plenty of salt....yum. Might have given a 3 otherwise. read more

Stopped in finally for a lunch with the family after the family has been here a couple of times without me. Grabbed a Fat Dale, a newer creation with shredded chicken, pierogi with cheese and French fries. Not the best "Fat Sandwich" I've had and maybe next time will try it with the usual mozzarella stick and sauce. The bread was soft and moist to be handled with the chicken staying moist with grilled onion and the cheese. Which it was all built better the French fries was just topped on. My family opted for the loyal Philly Cheesesteak which was fine. The Reuben has much more for desire for me. A filling meal for us all and a nice, easy stop for us before going out or coming home. read more
