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!

So, it's been a few years since I've been back to Middlesex Texas Wiener, but I was in the area…read moreyesterday and I needed lunch so I hit one of my old favorites. I used to come here with my Dad so I've got fond memories of the place. When I walked in it felt like it hadn't changed since the 80s. And don't get me wrong...that's NOT a negative comment. There was a short line when I got there, but it moved quickly and I put in my order for one chili cheese dog and one with chili, kraut and mustard. I've always loved the dogs here. I know they used to use Grote and Weigel dogs and they SEEM like the same ones I've always loved so perhaps they are still the same. Either way, the dogs were GREAT. I dont mind traveling for dogs, but this is a little outside my normal range to be too regular. However, if I'm in the area (and there are actually a bunch of great places in the area) I'd certainly come back. Great dogs, fast service, great ambiance, and for me...and solid nostalgic memories.

I've been coming to Middlesex Texas Weiner for years. My father first brought me here when I was…read moreyounger and I returned frequently when I lived less than a quarter mile away for about 10 years. The building is a former burger joint (e.g., Burger King, Hardees, etc) and still maintains that look and feel so when you enter you feel like you're going back in time. The owner is Greek and goes to Greece every year. When he returns, they have bottles of olive oil for sale. I've only gotten Texas weiners or pork roll sandwiches so I can't comment on how the rest of their menu is but they've been in business a long time so clearly they're doing something well.

Definitely have to go back to try the" fatboy" burger.

This was a pretty cool place,  just off the highway.   The place has lots of parking and so much to…read morelook at.   It has outdoor seating and a cute various animal decor on the side of the building.     Inside,  it's pretty compact but so much to look at once you enter.  When you walk in, there isn't much standing space to place your order.  It easily gets crowded with a line in no time.   The lady who took my order was super nice and patient for us first-timers who are unsure of what to eat.   In my case, I like to order a little bit of everything.     They had a variety of snacks and drinks.  While I was waiting,  I couldn't help but look at the various signs and even pictures of cars they had posted.   My guess is they probably used to have car shows or something back in the day.  The pictures look like they were taken quite some time ago, which makes me think this place has most likely been here for a while.     We ordered: 1. French toast combo with corn beef hash and eggs - When I saw 10 pieces on the online menu, I was like, what? After trying it, I can't get enough.  It was fluffy and light, perfect balance of bread and egg.  It wasn't overly sweet.   To me, it didn't even need syrup.  Corn beef and egg were amazing.  It's simple but perfect.  I'm the type that would've loved this even more with rice. 2.  Breakfast burrito with sausage and bacon - It originally comes with 1 meat, but I normally do 2.  Why choose when you can have both?  It was amazing, I'm not a fan of bell peepers but everything mixed together was the perfect balance in every bite.   You get the softness of the egg and potato and crunch from the bell peppers.  They did not skimp on the meat. 3.  Bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich - The lady told me this sandwich was the most popular breakfast sandwich.  I had it the way they made it and didn't even switch the bread.   I believe it was a kaiser roll.  This thing was perfect just the way it was.   It's simple, but it hits the spot.  It warms the belly right up.    Honestly,  I have family that lives close by, and they have never tried it.   I told them you guys need to go here.   Portions are generous, and items are reasonably priced.  I can't wait to come back when I'm in the area and try more items.
