The place itself features a total of six stools, three looking out the window and three facing the counter. There's enough standing room for maybe six more folks, but this is not the place to go for a family sit down. However, if you want a hot meal, you can do much worse. The employees were both very friendly, the food came out super quick, and it was generally tasty. It's a perfect spot for someone working in the Plainfield area to pop into for some quick grease and carbs.

My son and I headed here for a quick Friday lunch. The location is fine although the neighborhood…read moreappears to be a little rough. You have to park on the street. Two hot dogs, fries and a coke will set you back $15 and onion rings are a dollar more. The hot dogs are very good. The place is a bit run down, but they have steady customer traffic. The owner was very nice. We will be back.

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.

The best thing on their menu is the fries. I'll be throwing my shrimp out AGAIN tonight! I don't like seeing shrimp in my food!

I was in search of another place for hot dogs (which is gone) and out of the corner of my eye I saw…read morethis place which is in the municipal parking lot. When I saw the name 'Costa's', it was a good start. I crept up in my ride and noticed the menu had chili dogs. I parked at the curb and order 2 chili dogs and a soda. ($5) The dogs were Sabretts. They seemed to be the 10/1lb, skinny ones. Boiled then griddled. I like that. The chili had a slight spice and was tasty. Kudos for Costas!

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!)

Super stuffed burgers is a fun combination of card shop and burger stop - a partnership I didn't…read moreknow I needed until I was there. The place itself is small, so come at off peak hours to ensure a spot to eat. If you're sticking around, grab a few packs of cards to rip, or try one of three arcade games that are free to play. As for the menu, you can't go wrong with the burger options. The stuffed options are mostly standard, though one monthly burger usually injects some unique flavors as well. We've tried the onion rings, tots, and fries, and while all are good the fries are the most flavorful. I also must call out one big letdown, which may be a deal breaker for some...the ketchup situation. The couple times we've been there, it's been generic packets. It's heinous to have this flavor without Heinz, or at least something I can slather on instead of carefully applying one smidge at a time.

I went to Super Stuffed Burgers for lunch the other day. I had not researched it before so I…read morethought it was pretty cool that they were also a trading card and figurine store with a mini arcade. If I had had more time I would've shopped around a bit. For lunch I ordered the quesadilla burger and made it a combo with fries and a soda. Thank you to the cashier for informing me about the combo deal! The quesadilla burger was delicious and I couldn't stop biting into it. The fries were also well made. My only issue was that it was freezing inside the restaurant. I don't know if they don't have heat or the heat was just broken that day, but I had to keep my winter jacket on the whole time I was there. I hope they were able to get it fixed!! Overall though, I definitely enjoyed the place and have to go back the next time I'm in the Springfield area.
