Stopped in with a friend to have tasty lunch. I got the house roasted turkey sandwich and fries with 2 chili dogs to go for my wife. I love that they offered fresh cooked turkey which was delicious! The true stars though had to be the chili dogs and fries. Fries cooked in peanut oil were delicious and crispy on the outside and soft inside. Dogs had a little kick with the chili sauce to make them just delicious. Thank you read more

Haven't been here for years! It was a treat. Hot dog with all the fixings. Hot dog seemed smaller and the bun seemed bigger. W Hot dog joint with fast service. read more

Deerhead is a Delaware tradition. If you know, you know. THE SAUCE. What's their secret? It's like chili, but better. The food here is good and cheap and filling. It's a fast lunch. There are some claw machines for the kiddos. The staff is friendly. The hot dogs are delicious. There are so many great toppings, but the best is "with everything" which is mustard, sauce, and onions. The roll is soft and pillowy. Their potato salad is also really delicious and fresh. Good selection of sodas, including Mexican Coke. You WILL have onion breath after the meal, so bring some breath mints or gum with you. read more

Deerhead Hot Dogs - Double dog with everything. THE SAUCE. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Decided to try Deerhead hot dogs, been around for a long time in many different locations. Got a footlong hot dog with cheese wiz and onions. Along with a side of fries which they claim are: "the best". The hot dog was solid, a good price for the what you get. There was a shortage of onions on the hot dog, there could've been a little more but it was still good. The fries were good as well, nothing incredible but they were still some good fries and It complements the hot dog well. Overall a solid hot dog, will definitely be back to try more. read more

Good dogs. Lots of options. Stopped during a road trip. It's located in a strip mall. Footlong w onions sauce etc whatever the consider "everything on it". Added hot peppers, I shouldn't have.. the dog would have been fine with. It was a big sloppy mess of deliciousness, make sure you grab some napkins! Get the tater tots w old bay and grab extra old bay. Hot fresh fantastic! read more

Deerhead Hotdogs is an amazing spot! The young man working there that I encountered there was incredibly kind and sweet. He went above and beyond to ensure I had a great dining experience. The food was delicious, I believe I got the everything dog the special sauce was wonderful and the fries were fresh! I highly recommend visiting Deerhead Hotdogs read more

Hot dogs???? Why not go for the Cheesesteak! The cheesesteak with peppers and fries onions is AMAZING!!!! Better than the hotdogs or the fries which are pretty dang good. Also if you go in Sunday's hotdogs are on discount. The fries are amazing reminds me of Five Guy fries if you add the old bay seasoning and dip them in a ketchup malt vinegar mix. Buffalo shrimp is always a starter for me, it's not as crispy as you would want it to be but it's still bomb. Recommendations- CHEESESTEAK, fries with malt vinegar and old bay, foot log hotdogs with the special sauce, Buffalo shrimp read more

I've been he the Maryland Ave location in Wilmington which was a little out of my way so this location is more convenient. Thanks to the other reviewers for the location helps. It's located between the Red Lobster and the AAA store. As for the food, well I had to have the dogs all the way. Good as usual with the sauce that has a nice spicy bite. I was tempted to get the fresh cut fries but I wanted to get 2 dogs so next time. Inside has tables which they bring you your order. Kinda like Chick-fil-A does. We need more of these kind of eateries. read more

If you like fried foods, Deerhead will be to your liking. Hot dogs, chicken wings, fries, etc. They also have hot and cold sandwiches as well. Deerhead is a local chain that touts a special sauce. Not sure exactly what's in it, but it's not eye-openingly amazing. I prefer some of the other toppings (there are about a dozen that are complimentary and a few that are extra). In the end, is the dog itself a high quality hot dog? The answer is yes. They are unique in that they serve their hotdogs in a hamburger roll, splitting the dog down the middle to fill in the wider bun. read more

We stopped here the Monday after daylight savings because I was craving a hot dog. We actually went to the closer location first only to find it had closed down. We ordered dogs with cheese fries. Portions are huge, we shared the fries. They offered to put the secret sauce on the side but I wanted it on the dog. It was a mess, but it was good. Spicy and cheap and exactly what I was craving. read more

Sub-par at best. I honestly would rather get a hot dog from the Home Depot hot dog cart next door. Hot dogs are kind of a simple dish, easy to do good and I was super disappointed in mine and feel it and everything else was overpriced. My husband had a cheesesteak and the meat was completely minced and mushy. I won't return here. read more

Really great hotdog. Split and grilled. Served on a wider soft roll, which was absolutely delicious. Got it with everything. Mustard , onion, and chili sauce. At $3 a dog it's on the expensive side , but gee it's only $3. The fries were hand cut and crispy. It's a clean nice space in a strip mall shopping center. Absolutely worth going out of your way. read more

Everything) = (5) Excellent! Still my Favorite Hot Dog of ALL Time;) It's essentially two hot dogs, butterflied on one roll;) Will probably order two next time;)lol ** Boardwalk Fries = (4.5) Very Good, especially with either Malt Vinegar or Old Bay Spice, which are available on the Tables or to go;) ** Footlong(w. Everything) = (4.25) Very good ** Single Dog(w. Everything) = (4) very good * Potato Salad(small) = (3.75) Good, kinda reminded me of Egg Salad?? read more

Awesome staple since 7th and Orange store back in the day. Back then you had to order like the soup nazi on Sienfeld. Lol. Strict but you order was right read more

The best totes is tex-mex totes. The totes are crunchy with tasty and flavorful sauce n cheese on the top. Philly cheesesteak is so yummy not soggy nor dried, tender and perfect with full of flavor and tasty too. Highly recommended. read more

Food is always fantastic; Cameren and Aubrie always greet you when you walk in the door and are always so polite. The restaurant is always clean. Will always go back to this restaurant. read more

Yummmm! I had 2 footlongs with onions and sauce. It hit the spot. The people working there were very friendly.

Known for their hot dogs we went off the board and had the special, a Cuban. We were disappointed, pulled pork does not a Cuban make. The fries were good, nice and crispy. I am spoiled from all the good cuban sandwiches from Florida. read more

This place is OK, my hot dog wasn't hot when I got it, as if it had been pre-cooked, then warmed on the grill for 30 seconds or so. They fries were good, not a bad place to stop in if you need a quick bite. read more

I read all the reviews and decided I had to try the cheesesteak...which turned out to be quite good with a spicy little sauce that I want the recipe for! It seemed a little pricey - especially the onion rings, but overall it was worthy and next time I'm in the Newark area it will be a consideration. Oh, and I want the recipe for the dip that came with the onion rings too read more

Deerhead Hot Dogs - Lunch...deerhead cheesesteak - Hot Dogs Near Me - Newark, Delaware

So i come in to grab a dog to go, waited 2 mins before the ladt came from the back and demanded i have a mask. I looked at her and just a week ago was inthere and sat dow. To eat without having a mask. As i turned away and said ill go else where she said fine with here just do it and leave. Got to the door and noticed that others did not have a mask with them. So i went back to counter and was going to inquire why no one else was wearing one and she came back at me asking if i had a problem. I proceeded to say i was just in not long ago wothout a mask and she started back with a louder voice and I proceeded to say no reason to yell at me!! So needless to say i will never go back and spend a penny at Todds location. You just dont come out and start yelling at your customers...Maryland Ave in Wilmington is your best bet ... Hope this gets out further than you can swim Todd.... Cant grow a business with hostile employees buddy read more

Food was outrageously good! Hotdogs were grilled as they should be, burger was well done and juicy. Totally worth a visit!

Our visit took place on Sunday, June 28, 2009, during lunchtime. This location is not super easy to find, but I did see the sign in the plaza it's in, and we found it neatly tucked away in a corner, next to Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. That's the only other store I remember, except it's very near a Best Buy. Anyway, as we approached, someone who we figured worked there held the door open for us to enter. I found that most hospitable, but the place looked new and I figured he was just being nice until he got us in the door. It turns out he's either the manager or the owner. His name is Rusty, and he was very nice to talk to. I pestered him with questions, and he didn't seem to mind one bit! The place is not big, but that's fine. It keeps it cozy. If you're not into at least one Philly sport, you may not like the interior, which pays homage to the Phillies, Eagles, Sixers and Flyers in one fell swoop on the wall. There's a big picture of big Ryan Howard that makes him look like he's floating. I had to take a picture. I also took pictures of the wall menu, so I wouldn't have to memorize prices for this. Why I didn't take a menu with me is absolutely beyond me. We really just wanted a few burgers, and I wanted some fries, but Rusty was hell-bent on talking about the hot dogs that they're famous for. He mentioned the "secret sauce" at least three if not four times, letting us know it was from 1935. Their original location is on Maryland Ave. in downtown Wilmington ("since 1935!"). I know little about Wilmington, but maybe one day we'll visit that location. We ordered our hamburgers and they were alright. Nothing really juicy. Nothing out of the ordinary. I liked the boardwalk-style fries; they weren't greasy like some. They were definitely fresh-cut and not too thick and not too thin. Finally Rusty wore us down and brought out two hot dogs. Brian put that secret sauce on it ("a secret since 1935!") and mine was plain. I did use yellow mustard. That's usually it on a hot dog for me. I'm a purist, definitely. Maybe you could call me a minimalist when it comes to food like this. These hot dogs were split and grilled. No blackness, though, to them, which I do like. I was hoping for grill marks but nah. However, the flavor was very good, I thought. Brian pronounced his "delicious". Rusty had said that the secret sauce was spicy, but Brian didn't think it was. It's a sort-of-thin chili-type sauce. I asked Rusty who their hot dog supplier was (see, John Fox, I'm learning from you!!), and he told me Kunzler, in Lancaster, PA. Kunzler has been around since 1901. I stupidly didn't ask whether they were all-beef or not. Anyway, we really enjoyed our visit. The service was impeccable, our host congenial as all get-out, and a hamburger and hot dog each, with those fries (and I had iced tea and Brian had Coca Cola) filled our stomachs. The bill came to $12 and some change, but I will be very honest, he didn't charge us for the hot dogs. Listen, this place is not hurting for business, but he just seems to be that kind of guy. I'm not the type to ask for free food by any means, but I sure as hell won't turn it down if it's given to me, either. The prices for the hot dogs are on the zoomed menu board picture I've posted. I would recommend Deerhead Hot Dogs, and next time we're in the area and feel like hot dogs or hamburgers, we'll go there. read more

I love this place. For roughly $10 you get a drink, burger and fries. The burger was perfectly cooked, super juicy without being too pink. The fries were crispy, even with malt vinegar the staff is sweet and helpful. Offering a nice change of pace for a quick meal. read more

Yum. In my opinion, the current title holder for the best dogs in the Philadelphia area. Fantastic (chili) sauce with mustard and onion is the only way to go. The sauce is truly wonderful with a hint of heat that makes it even better. Fresh cut fries at this location, property cooked with bottles of vinegar and Old Bay at each table. Very close to Christiana Mall and area attractions - if you love hot dogs, go here. read more

Great little spot to stop in at. Great hotdogs, ask for the secret chili sauce. You can't go wrong with the fries or cheesesteak either. I make it a point to stop here every time I'm passing through. read more

Hot dogs and sauce are great. Would have given four stars but the service is aweful. They need to hire people that actually care. read more

Nice place. The chili on the chili dog is spicy and good. We plan to return next time we're in town.

Food is alright, but the staff ruins it. Rude, and they act like you're inconveniencing them. This past visit is our last. They weren't busy and after taking our order the long haired cook guy who was standing around looking at his cell phone looked so irritated when the girl told him we ordered a milkshake and they also shared a laugh which made me wonder and then also made me hesitant to even let my daughter drink it. I should have said never mind at that point but my daughter really wanted it. When he brought it out we nicely said thank you and he still didn't say a word and walked away. $29 for a family of 3 for a quick lunch, cheesesteak, cheeseburger, single hot dog, milkshake and 2 water bottles, they're definitely not cheap. Food was only okay, won't be back again at this location for sure. I also see I'm not the only one to have encountered rude staff. read more

I currently work in the same shopping center and am a regular here. The food Is amazing especially with there special sauce on hot dogs and you can tell they have hand cut fries that are also just as good. The service is great when I get there to pick up my food on break but placing a order over the phone sometimes seems like an inconvenience for them if they're busy. But overall I would recommend anyone to eat here! read more

This is a great place. Clean with friendly staff. Their dogs, burgers, and fries are really good! Why is that a big deal??? Believe it or not, some places with similar menus manage to still turn out bad food. At Deerhead they have the formula! Love getting the footlong chili dog and stack of crispy fries when that craving for ballpark food hits me. So glad this place is in striking distance of my appetite during the work day. Keep up the good work guys! read more

If you want a decent cheesesteak and don't feel like driving all the way up to Philly, Deerhead does a pretty decent whiz wit. Look for the Firebirds and Potstickers to find this place as it's tucked in a corner - once you do find it grab a cheesesteak, a rootbeer, and some cheese fries and relax. read more

I work very close by, so this is the perfect location for when you're craving a hot dog! The hot dogs are tasty, and so are the French fries. My only complaint is that sometimes service is a little slow. When I'm busy at work, I like to call my order in ahead, wait the allotted time, then head over. Most of the time, I still wait 15ish minutes for my meal. A little slow, but overall excellent food! read more

I've been eating these from the original location in Wilmington since I was a kid. I always get 2 Singles with everything. The sauce is like none other. I've never had anything else from the menu except fries which I use to scoop up the sauce from my plate. read more
