JJ'S is a must when we are in town. We have come here for years after clubs and late night parties.... and now we just introduced our children to the tradition. Love the "bite" and it always tastes so fresh... But be ware when ordering the chilli... It is HOT!!!! You definitely feel it in your gums! Parking is tricky but we were able to find a spot nearby. We are a fan! read more

Great hot dog service truck with speedy service. There is street parking next to the truck, near to park beyond the truck. The best options are Kraut & hot mustard, cheese & shrooms, or Chilli & cheese. I tried the specialty with crushed Doritos and it was delicious. They all come individually wrapped. Ask the server for their rec and they'll make a special Jersey dog for you. The Yoo Hoo aka Brown Cow got those who are veteran JJ fans are a great combo. Juicy and delicious taste of dog. Best to eat samecday but can be wrapped to eat the next day. They also sell shirts, but call ahead so you can get a shirt that come in a variety of colors. They are $20. read more

What can I say about JJs? Other than they are an NJ OG institution. The memories of getting drunk at nearby bars and heading to JJs for a nightcap dog will forever make me smile. I haven't been by in some time but you can bet next time I'm in the area I'll be stopping in. I have 2 suggestions if you like to experiment with more than the usual run of the mill hot dog toppings. First try the gut buster. You may regret it in the morning but it's well worth it. Second one is to try the cream cheese with bacon dog. It's the first place I ever seen that had it decades ago. I've been making them at bbqs and putting people onto that combo ever since. read more

Still the greatest hotdog truck!!! Chili and cheese dogs and Belly Busters are my favorites. read more

J.J.'s Hot Dog Truck is a long-standing institution on Bloomfield Avenue in the Newark, New Jersey and is still a wonderful place to grab a hot dog or two. I also have great memories of coming here after a night at some long gone nightclubs such as the Dirt Club and Studio One (I guess that I am showing my age here). The service here has always been fast and there has always been something cool about waiting in line at this hot dog truck waiting for your turn to get your hot dogs and enjoy your feast. For me now, there is something nostalgic about visiting J.J.'s Hot Dog Truck and remembering my late night feasts. If you find yourself on Bloomfield Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, I would recommend a visit to this hot dog truck. Hey, it's a hot dog truck so there is no ambiance, but the price is right and the hot dogs are good. Come and enjoy the experience. We read more

The best!!!! Go and ask for "The Morino" you will not be sorry. I never imagined myself enjoying a hot dog that had cream cheese on it and now I can't see my self NOT having it. Great customer service. read more

JJ's Hot Dog Truck - Hot Dogs Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Was told to come here by many people on our TikTok page so we went ahead and stopped in. Grabbed a Belly Buster and a Hook Up for myself and the lady had a Dog with Bacon and Cheese sauce. Didn't find out until after that it's nearly standard to grab a yoo-hoo also...sorry for missing that train! So I didn't try the bacon dog but my gf said she enjoyed it a lot. What's not to love about bacon and cheddar sauce?! Let's start with the Belly Buster. So this dog has Kraut, Hot Onions, Cheese, and Hot Chili for like $2.50 ... uhm, what?! Lots of toppings and a pretty cheap dog. Sometimes the cheap prices make me skeptical. This was a good dog. The chili had a nice little kick to it and the onions were great. Cheese is cheese and Kraut is kraut typically, but all of these items together made a really tasty doggie for a killer price. The Hook-Up might have been better! More of that awesome chili but this time with some mayo, ketchup, and cole slaw. Really solid combination of flavors, I can see at these prices why this place is such a hit...especially amongst the late night crowd looking for something to fill their stomachs after a night at the bars.

Good cheap dogs, guys been here for ages, don't sleep on em. Cash & card. Buy his dogs!

Been going to this truck for years but within the last year this place has been declining. They are super expensive now and they are very cheap on the toppings. Do yourself a favor go around the iceberg on Park Avenue and Lake street. You will get a much tastier dog and a great amount of toppings. read more

The service has taken an extreme down call from the jjs we all knew after repeating my order 4 times mind u it was only 4 hot dogs he still gave me the wrong items I drove 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back I get home and the order was wrong it's definitely the last time I go there read more

Went there for first time today!For the price of the hotdogs, great flavor. Had three Doritos hot dog with chili cheese. And a c&c cola . Best food! Came out quickly from ordering . read more

This is my go to when passing by Bloomfield Ave. today was a miss. New guy working, hot dog toppings not consistent. Got 3 of the same, one was missing one topping, one overloaded mustard on another and one was alright. Consistency is key, just not today. read more

CASH ONLY. They have all sort of toppings and combos for your hot dog. I went with the basic hot dog with that good mustard. Quality hot dog and the staff is very attentive and friendly. read more

jj's has been a favorite hot dog spot since my favorite decade the 80's. After going to the clubs, all the guidos and guidettes would winde up down bloomfield Ave to jj's to get on a 2 block line at 2:30am. That's how good the hotdogs were and are. The T shirts they sold with the phrase EAT ME, were all over the jersey shore in those great 80's summers. Still a great dog, I highly reccomend. read more

Best hot dogs I've ever had!! They look simple, but they are so flavorful and I can't wait to be back in the area so I can have them again. read more

BEST HOT DOGS Fresh and juicy I really recommend coming here I would give it 6 stars if I could

Charge $9 for three frozen empanadas, then charged $.99 (10%) to recoup their 2.5% credit card fee. Not much better on the re-do.

Haven't been to the truck in close to 7 years, and it still tastes the same! Great mustard, the chili cheese dogs are phenomenal, and it's amazing to watch the masters at work! read more

Mustard hot chili, hot onions. Truly amazing. There's no other place on planet Earth like JJs. The place brings everyone together. I saw a postman talking with a crackhead who just high fived two cops eating dogs. All while there is a car turning the corner at over 100 mph getting away from something. A real experience. read more

Excellent hot dogs! Love the hot dogs with mustard, relish and raw onions! Love the chili cheese hot dog too!

This establishment/institution/food truck has been here ever since the dinosaurs walked the planet. Every time someone walks up and orders the hotdogs here, they are blasted back to when they were a much younger version of themselves. Back to the first time they sank their teeth into that hot dog in a bun that literally can kill all hotdogs ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.   Order the 3 hotdogs and a soda special. If you have a spicy side, get the onions, it's totally out of this world. Other than that, mustard and ketchup will do my friend. Taking your first bite into these babies can simulate unprecedented amounts of euphoria. For best results, wait until you're extremely hangry. Trust me, everybody who's had these before knows exactly what I'm talking about.   This spot right here has been here since your mom and dad was hella young. So it's stood the test of time,,, it was good back then, it's good now and it'll always be good decades after. These guys couldn't miss even if they tried their hardest. Service couldn't get any better either,, it's a food truck, but it's been parked at the same spot ever since,, never has it moved. So technically, it's a hole in the wall as well. You order the food, you bring it to your car and you eat it, simple as that my friend.  My pilgrimage to Jersey is never complete without stopping by here for some killer hotdogs. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from. As far as I'm concerned, this here is the world's ultimate hot dog experience.   Weeeeeeeeeee read more

Been going here from since the beginning of time well maybe the 80s. Always get the belly busters that are messy but very tasty.

I do not like the way that they're doing their hotdogs. Maybe it's a different cook but not the same and I'm very disappointed...definitely do not recommend! read more

Been coming here for years! They moved the truck to the following block corner of Bloomfield Ave. you can get 3 dogs and a soda for $5, which is great! Especially when you had a few drinks and need a quick snack. I believe there open till really late at night, not sure of the hours but they have all these speciality dogs such as chili and cheese and gut buster's. Great hot dog truck in the area. read more

Tasty dogs with a great long-standing reputation. The truck on a Friday afternoon was actually opposite of the park on a corner which I wouldn't frequent after dark. read more

Its a hot dog, you'd have to work very hard to screw it up lol! This place uses sabretts I believe. They are boiled. They have a nice snap! One thing that makes them stand out is their unusual toppings. They have the typical ketchup kraut mustard etc, but they also have fried onions cream cheese, potatoes, potato sticks and many others! Its good cheap and bad for you. read more

Best dogs in town. Fast and friendly. The dogs are hot and fresh, the drinks are ice cold. Good prices. What else do you want? Check it out.

I've been going here since 1983! Great late snack- a dirty water dog with chili, or sauerkraut or even their hot onions. I've taken my wife and kids there for decades too! Only wish they still had the Chocolate Cow drinks like the old days but Yoo-Hoo is okay as a replacement. Reasonably priced & can get them all the time! There is never a bad time for a hot dog or 3! read more

Classic hot dog truck that serves great hot dogs. They have plenty of toppings but my favorite is baked beans and slaw. If your into the chili JJ's chili had a pretty good kick to it, gotta be sure you like it spicy. Both the location and prices are great. There is always someone on line but the service is always fast. Pretty much best hot dog truck in North Jersey. A must stop if you are in Newark and enjoy hot dogs. read more

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! Today I found a little bit of heaven here on Earth...in NEWARK, no less. One of my co-workers has been telling me about JJs Hot Dog Truck for two years and today a bunch of us loaded up two cars, drove through Newark like we were in a chase from the TV show COPS, and pulled up right about noon. It took me about five seconds to read the menu and know what I wanted...One dog with kraut, hot onions and mustard; one cheese dog; one belly buster with chili, cheese, kraut, and hot onions; and a CandC Grape soda. And the clouds parted, and rays of light shown down on the meek, and they heard from above "let there be flavor"...and there WAS! I consider myself a hot dog connoisseur and these were some of the greatest dirty water dogs I have EVER had. The hot onions and hot chili had a perfect spiciness to them and the cheese dog was just perfect. So we're standing there after finishing and I look at my co-worker, he gives me a little head nod, and we BOTH get back in line for a fourth dog...I got a chili cheese dog this time and OMG-worth every minute I am going to have to spend on a treadmill/eliptical/walking the dogs or whatever else it takes to burn them off. As a side note, I haven't had a C and C soda in about 25 years and other than an actual beer, it was the perfect addition to some nearly perfect hot dogs!!! read more

*** Late Night *** JJ's is the only hot dog truck ya need to visit in Newark. I love this truck! Its definitely a go to if your in the mood for some banging dirty water dogs at 1am-4am after a club/lounge/bar/whatever kinda night. They have a great range of toppings or you can keep it simple. All up to you, but I'd recommend the following: - Onions ketchup - Belly Buster - Chili and coleslaw - Chili and beans - Cant for forget that C&C soda either... lol Ohhh yea the Onions have a peppery bite them. Just typing this is making me wanna head over to Bloomfield Ave now. Stop in and check out JJ's ya'll, I believe you'll leave happy. read more

Oh JJ's, how I miss you...you were my dirty water dog heaven, Back in college this was one of my staple places to stop by for a quick dog or 2 or 3...cheap, quick and located in the middle of the park on Bloomfield Ave...when I was going the menu was limited but apparently I need to return since his toppings have been expanded. read more

It's not a sit down but the flavor you get from eating there hot dogs is worth the drive. I recommend a minimum of 4 dogs preferably with chili & cheese light mustard light onions. This combo has a great taste with a kick of spice that is just right. read more
