Wow, what a great find! I first heard of Andy's a few years ago in an article on the best hot dogs…read morein NJ. At the time, Andy's was a food truck, but now Andy has a permanent storefront on Howard Blvd in Mt. Arlington. I tried to stop here previously, but it was closed (note...check the hours, it's closed Tuesday's and Wednesday's). We'll today I got here for lunch, and this place didn't disappoint. For my first visit, I went with a chili/cheese dog and a dog with cooked onions and mustard. Both were outstanding! I dined in, so I had an opportunity to speak with Andy. He explained that all the ingredients are homemade. Andy's been in the hot dog business for 12 years and knows what he's doing. He even reviewed the menu with me and suggested the pulled pork dog. That's on my list for next time! If you like hot dogs, you really need to give Andy's Roadside Dive a shot. It's only a couple of minutes off Rt 80 and definitely worth the trip!

I arrived in New Brunswick by train, which is to say I trusted the machinery of civilization to…read moredeliver me to lunch. It did. A short walk later, I found myself at Destination Dogs, a place I had seen in photographs that suggested capaciousness. In reality, it is smaller.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  I remember once hearing something about the contents of small packages. At 12:30 the place was full. Packed with humanity and appetite. I was seated quickly, as if someone had anticipated my hunger in advance. From the bar came the sound of construction crews discussing their midday rituals. Apparently this is where they come on Fridays, to repair themselves while they repair the city. It explained everything. Service was swift and attentive, a minor miracle given the crowd. I began with a Scotch egg, an item that seemed to have wandered in from another story entirely. I ordered it for that reason. I had always imagined my first Scotch egg would be eaten in an English pub under low ceilings and older regrets. Instead, here it was. Perfectly crisp, warm, and generous. The universe does not ask for permission. Then came the main event. The menu is an atlas of hot dogs. Domestic. International. Proteins in tube form arranged like possibilities. There is even an invitation to build your own, which I accepted. I attempted to recreate a favorite from Crif Dogs, a thing called the Spicy Redneck. Bacon wrapped dog. Pickled jalapenos. Coleslaw. Simple in theory. Destination Dogs improved upon it in every way that matters. The bacon crisped with purpose. The jalapenos spoke clearly. The coleslaw behaved. The hot dog itself seemed proud to be there. All of this, plus a 16 ounce beer, cost me about twenty five dollars with tip. A small price for order in a chaotic universe. Five stars. Not because perfection exists, but because this comes close enough to make the argument.

Delicious! Great variety of sausages and toppings to choose from. If it's your first time, I…read moreencourage you to pick something off the menu and you won't be disappointed. Service was awesome, walked in 2 mins before happy hour and the waiter took our beer order in record time. He was also very attentive during our entire meal. I ordered the Andouille Armstrong and it was my fav, great snap on the dog and all the flavors complimented each other great, I also had the Si Si Guey, wasn't my favorite but wasn't horrible, I wasn't a fan of the chorizo, I felt the toppings made this hot dog. As for ambiance, it's a bar, has TV, liquor, beer, etc., but clean. If I was local I'd be a regular!

Those deliciously loaded Dogs I ordered were JJ's Belly Busters and had plenty of Hot Onions, Sauerkraut, Cheese, Hot Chili, and Spicy Mustard. Definitely the best loaded Hot Dogs I've had in a while. The Dog itself was flavorful and had a perfect bite to it. Buns were hearty and didn't split or fall apart like some other places, even though they were overloaded which left me very impressed. I really thought the inside of my to- go bag was gonna be a total mess but as you can see everything stayed put nicely. Friendly Service at this small but functional spot which has very few indoor seating options but it's mostly a grab and go kinda place. That's ok Hot Dogs are most definitely enjoyed better outdoors anyway am I right?  Right. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

There's only two tables available in the small space so the car would be Plan B. I enjoyed my meal while listening to ESPN's NFL Draft coverage and listening to faint sounds of music, both more for the sake of the workers. Both hot dogs were great with my preference leaning towards the Belly Buster. The fries are of the thin variety.
