hot dogs are always fresh, I usually get spicy mustard and onion sauce, sometimes I get chili and cheese. I always get a Knish with some spicy mustard as well. Fast and friendly service, prices are not too high. It's a tiny place, you can stand up at a counter inside, or sit at a table outside, or just take them to go. One of my go to spots when I have the craving. I believe this is the same "Mike's dog house" that was originally in Pompton Lakes, but has been in Oakland for more than 20 years now I believe. /recommend read more

The hot dogs are good and so were The service dogs as excellent and fast. Eat outside on a beautiful day.

Passed by for lunch on a trip out of town, great little local spot, it's cheap, tastes great, food was ready very fast, and it's got a nice classic vibe, the people working there were really friendly too, had a nice time and an even better dog, if you like hot dogs and are in town or just passing through I definitely recommend this place. read more

First things first it's not Mike anymore and it shows Mike was great he knew how to treat his customers. Mike didn't care when u brought the hot dog cart back as long as it was by the next weekend. Plus I get it PRICES have gone up but why would u to loyal customers RAISE the price of your Hot Dog Cart???? Mike ,because we got the cart like two times a year, only charged us 40 bucks a cart but 2 years ago this new owner charged us $50 straight. NOW they want to charge $80 for the cart ...why? U don't do ANYTHING different , the carts are still the same ,there NO reason to go up on the hot dog cart charges ..You don't do anything different. Maybe u do...like lose loyal customers...hot dogs are hot dogs good customers are special! read more

Stopped in for the first time today. So yummy and a great deal-buy 5 and get one free. Perfect for my family. We'll definitely be back.

I have passed by this place several times, and have seen a couple of reviews about it on TT. I love me a hot dog and figured I would give it a shot. Right off the bat, this place does not stack up to other greats in NNJ. The hot dogs were good, but nothing special. The fact that they chose such a thin hotdog to use was a bit disappointing. .The toppings overpower the flavor of the hot dog. While it wasn't bad by any means, I probably won't be going back. read more

Great hot dogs, fresh buns and a good selection of soft drinks. It's only counter service and take out, but the folks that work there are first class. They have some picnic tables outside if you wanna not eat in your car which makes for a fun little experience. They also have knishes, which makes them more of a NYC experience. read more

Love it! Wanted to come here for many years, finally moved to Oakland and had the opportunity. Get here as many times as you can. This place deserves the support. Small shop, no indoor seating, but possibly one of the best dogs out there. Hot sausage is wonderful too. Make sure to grab a birch beer while here! read more

They are ok hotdogs. Good for grab & go. The dogs are a bit on the small size. Taste was good. Figured I would try them since I was in the area. Papaya king in NYC, is definitely better. But if you are craving hotdogs, might be worth a shot if your expectations are not too high. read more

Food: Dog was warm not hot, toppings were a bit light. $10 for two dirty water dogs and a soda a bit steep.. Service was speedy and attentive. read more

Your hot dog will come not grilled. The bun will come virgin, straight from the bag. The same for the onion and relish from a plastic container. Overall, it's a hot dog you can get anywhere else and you can make better at home or down the shore on a George Foreman grill, big grill, or a microwave. There isn't anything spectacular here beyond the premise of a hot dog. I'd say... go to Shop Rite and get a six pack to cook at home. read more

On the way to ramapo to fish, this place is right off the exit ramp. Decided to grab my 'dinner'. The style of the hot dogs is New York style. Not fried. I eat different brands of dogs, and they use sabrett franks which in my opinion is a crisp outer coating. You want to eat supermarket dogs? Go buy ballparks. The place serves hot dogs as they were designed imho. Had a combo, two dogs with red onions (little tangy!) and was out the door for around five dollars. Been to other places like calla.. and their fries start at four dollars alone. Stop by, support local businesses. I will be back when I drive through.. read more

Mike's Dog House - Two dogs and soda combo with red onions. (Onions a little spicy, so beware for kids) but I liked it. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Oakland, New Jersey

Sabretts- solid & basic puppies. Easy off exit & back on. Keep it simple with mustard & raw onions. You'll be okay!

Little dog house right off 287 in Oakland. Kind of tucked in so easy to pass. Nice owner, clean, great sabrett dogs, what more can you want. Rolls nice and fresh. Stop for lunch for sure. Only seating is two picnic tables out front. read more

New owners. They raised prices. I know everything cost more these day but, they are still advertising old prices. Bring it to their attention and you get "Sue us". And get out. Nice way to do business. read more

Very good dogs!!! Sausage was great ... spicy... still good tho. The price wasn't to bad either read more

I went to this establishment for the first time. I had heard they had good hotdogs, so I gave it a try. Overall, I was not impressed. The hotdogs were very small. The attendant was not friendly and lacked customer service. My order was a "to-go" order and he handed me the hotdogs unwrapped and on a small thin paper dessert plate. No bag. Needless to say, I had to drive with them on my passenger seat and by the time I got home, they were cold. Save yourself the trip. read more

Want some simple, delicious hot dogs? This is the place to go. It's exactly as advertised - quick and easy dogs that will leave you satisfied and wanting to return. The toppings options are limited, but still offer tasty combinations. The french fries are made right in front of you and are perfectly cooked. The service is pleasant and they give you exactly what you ask for. Give this place a try! read more

I usually wait a couple of days before writing a review. I like to let my impressions simmer. No need for that here. We had just finished an eight mile hike at nearby Ramapo Valley County Reservation. On our way back to 287, we passed this inviting looking place. A quick u turn. Ordered five dogs, three naked, two chili. Some fries and a Boylan's Sparkling Lemonade. The dogs were Sabrett with plenty of snap. The chili was good. Could have used a bit more kick. Fries were of the shoestring variety. Terrific. Friendly owner. Good crunch. A beautiful day. Couldn't ask for more. read more

My brother is on a mission to find all the great hot dog spots in NJ. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to be on the ride with him. We stopped at Mike's hot dog to try the hype. While they were great and tasty.. do I think they beat hot grill, not a chance. read more

What a nice find on the way home from CT. Very good food and some of the best and friendliest service around. read more

Best hot dogs around. Great spot, and the chili dogs are top notch! Would recommend the onion rings as well. Family friendly, and nice outside tables to eat. read more

It's was my first time here I do recommend stopping . The dogs remained me of when I was a kid growing up in NYS. read more

Good dirty water dogs and very tasty toppings. The kinishes are deep fried and greesey stay away.

Best hot dogs!! I wish they stayed open a little later on weekdays, so that I could grab a hot dog on my way home. Everything always tastes great. read more

Excellent tasty hot dogs. I am a chile dog fan. This place makes their own chile and it is very tasty. Reasonably priced and very friendly owner. read more

Good food. Good spot right in town. My ONLY complaint is that they don't wear gloves when handling the food.

Mike's is a place to grab some no frills dogs affordably, but you won't find much more. The best way to describe it might be as a hot dog cart with walls. You won't find condiments beyond ketchup and mustard though you can get onions and sauerkraut on your dog. The hot dogs are tasty and well cooked, but to me there's only so much difference between a well cooked and an average cooked dog. There's a spot to sit outside to eat as well if you are so inclined. read more

My sister and I were driving through Oakland and saw this place randomly, didn't even know it was there. Very glad we stopped though! Very friendly guy behind the counter, basic menu. But its hot dogs, so basic is good! They also have many toppings to pick from, and not bad prices. Will visit again! read more

The hot dogs were the kind you could find at costco just jacked up to $2. Not worth it, cheap guy also. Even in the 5 minutes I was there you could tell how high on himself the owner was. Not good customer service as well as good. Disappointed read more

Nothing special here, just a basic hot dog stand serving Sabretts with the usual toppings such as mustard, kraut, red onions etc. Fries and , soda also available but that's about it. Basically a hot dog truck without the wheels. Of course Sabrett is one of the best dogs, so it gets an extra star for that. read more

Yeah pretty good dogs, will stop by again when hungry & in the area

Great stop for hotdogs. Owner usually behind the counter always willing to talk with you and help as needed. Some of his toppings are homemade and its an easy place to get in and out of. If your in the mood for hotdogs and are in the area then stop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

awesome spot for some sabrett hot dog, especially if you are the go for something quick!!!! also FYI they only except master and Visa credit cards only other than that just bring cash only because there is a $10 min. though read more

Mike makes the best hot dogs! Place is clean and service is friendly. The Kinishes are delicious! If you are a hot dog lover don't pass this place by! Of course he has red onions, kraut all the fixings but be sure to try the special potato topping...yum read more

The hotdogs are good and the rolls were fresh. The staff was friendly. This is a a normal hot dog joint that you can find all over nj.

Having just moved to Oakland (though always Bergen County residents), we always see people sitting outside at this place. On a whim, we decide to stop by. I got a cheese dog and my boyfriend got the chili cheese dog with raw onions along with two kniches (deep fried potato pockets) My thoughts at the menu: weak and very standard. Almost boring. My thoughts on the cheese hot dog: sad and probably one of the smallest hot dogs I've ever seen. Thoughts on the chili cheese dog: still small but the chili was decent. I probably wouldn't have thought this place wasn't mediocre at best if the hot dogs were substantial size and if you couldn't buy the chili off of a shelf under the label "sabrett". Basically they are just cooking the food I can buy in a supermarket instead of adding any authenticity. If I'm going to spend money on a hot dog, I'd rather have it be unique and offer things on the menu I cannot recreate, like bacon beer cheese hot dogs (which I've had the pleasure of receiving at other venues). So, end result....go here if you're looking for a super quick bite, are super hungry/desperate for food and merely want the taste of a hot dog without having to make the trip to shoprite read more
