Cash Only. I'm stressing this because on my most recent visit it was a major issue with a couple…read moreahead of me acting shocked when they were given the total (almost $30) and they only had $3 in singles. (And that ATM machine at the corner? It looks like it'll not only steal your identity but your soul as well.) My last visit (2023-ish) I tried their 'combo' (one hot dog, one sausage) which was... okay. But when they're slinging a double Italian hot dog? They're firing on all cylinders. Tommy's is not shy to pile a wicked amount of grub into that pizza bread. The hot dogs kind of get lost under a mountain of deep-fried and oily (but delicious) sliced spuds. (I do wish they weren't so stingy with the peppers and onions to really balance out the meal.) The 'Holy Trinity' when it comes to Italian hot dogs in North Jersey is a no-brainer... Dickie Dee's, Jimmy Buff's and Tommy's. (For me - no one comes close to Dickie Dee's but my one kid said Tommy's was his [current] fave.) As for that couple that came cashless? A good Samaritan behind me pulled out a wad of cash (it's not wise to pull out a fistful of cash anywhere you go but it's ESPECIALLY not wise when you're in the rough and tumble streets of Elizabeth, let's be real) and after swapping Venmo information everything was a-okay. Take-out/to-go only. Parking is atrocious. Guy behind the glass - always aces. (Oh, and... cash only!)

About to hop a flight to NOLA from Newark so I hit up Tommy's Italian Sausage in Elizabeth. Wanted…read moreto also hit Jerry's but he closed the gate as I was walking up...maybe next time. I've had the sausage/dog combo before that's like an Italian Dog and I loved it but I had never just had some good old doggies here so I grabbed a couple. Went with 1 with red onions and mustard and 1 with chili, diced onion, and mustard. I love red onions, just a big nostalgia thing to my youth getting dogs in Coney Island at Nathan's. These onions were tasty. The chili wasn't what I was expecting but the crunch from the diced onion was welcomed. The rolls tasted fresh and the dogs had a fantastic snap and delicious flavor. No surprise here - Tommy's - Didn't Suck!

Every Memorial Day we like to seek out new hot dog places to kick off Memorial Day…read more We went with the Italian combo of hot dog and sausage. **warning** come hungry! I got the single combo with hot dog and hot Italian sausage, onions, potatoes and peppers. I told them I didn't care for the green, so they gave me red only. It was comfort food to the max! Delish, but I couldn't eat the whole thing. Took some sausage and potatoes for later. Hubby got the double which was too much food for one human but he used a fork to eat the potatoes, onions and peppers and work his way down to the meat. The people were super friendly and accommodating. Basic setting with no frills, but simply delicious food. They also have American style hot dogs and plenty of sides, but we will have to come back for that another time.

My boyfriend soadbhebahs been there for years. He was very nice and attentive. I've never had an Italian hit dog before so this was the day. I ordered a single one and bean was that enough. My boyfriend ordered a double veggie and it was huge. I'm so glad we didn't order a side of fries. My sandwich was loaded with potatoes. It is definitely an interesting combination that I never wouid have come up with on my own. The hot dog itself had snap, the roll was soft, the onions and peppers were soft and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be back but I think I will just have a plain dog next time.

A good measure of how a good place is - order a plain version of their food. In this case, I…read moreordered a plain dog and then a dog with EVERYTHING.

I HAD TO STOP!! It looked perfect for my nostalgic tastes an omg I wasn't disappointed!! The dogs had a snap and a beefy flavor with toppings that were made with the utmost xare and love of tradition. The deli mustard was piquant but perfect for the dogs. The chili had a touch of spice, but otherwise complimented the dogs. I felt a part of this place and the generations who have known it beforee here in my adopted state. Holy heck! Yes!

Yeah the dogs look a little sloppy, but that's just because I ate in my car and Randy is generous with the toppings. Been a long time since my last visit, but it's always GREAT! Randy Pollack!
