Dive Bar in the Middle of Nowhere…read more I have only been here once before and that was September 2022 to buy a shirt. This time I did sit at the bar and order a beer. It does not have much curb appeal but once you are inside your impression will improve. They have 6-8 beers on tap. I had the Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City Brewing, Tampa FL. Note that they offer the 30 Burgers menu which obviously has burgers but you can also get wings, etc., or a small bar pizza. FYI, the wings looked very good from what I could tell from the guy eating them next to me. Service at the bar was average at best, so don't expect to be treated like Royalty, lol! If you are in the area, drop by, salute the American flag before you walk in and say, TIP: Get a pretzel Thanks

I didn't get to try anything on the menu except for their nachos which I really liked. The only thing that sucks is the place is small so if the bar is full, you pretty much don't have a seat.

I was off of work for the week of the July 4th holiday and decided to try Hot Rod's. I had been…read morecraving a Texas wiener. Hot Rod's does not have a Texas wiener on their menu but they have all the toppings necessary (mustard, raw onion, chili) to make one. The chili though is different from what you'd get on a Texas wiener, as there isn't as much meat. I was able to see most of the raw onion whereas they'd mostly be covered by chili on a traditional Texas wiener. I chose the beef hot dog and washed it down with their unsweetened ice tea. Everything was delicious. The staff were very friendly and explained the difference between the beef hot dog (deep fried) and the turkey hot dog (boiled). There's some seating indoors (about 10 stools along a long counter) and a few picnic tables outside for dining. Pulling out of Hit Rod's can be tricky so it's best to time your departure with the traffic lights nearby.

Get them loaded with homemade chili, or not, or with standard pickle wedge, mustard and chopped onions on a traditional bun, and on the right sunny day, be part of the perfect snack. Grab a bag of fresh crispy fries, sit at their picnic tables and become part of legend. A extra warm day for the end of March, and a perfect day for an up country drive, Hot Rods was the spot chosen as destination. Great choice. Owner at the grill and taking orders, assistant taking care of the deep fryer and putting meals together in bags, wife sitting nearby offering historic commentary on the institution (Giants fan who loves Saquan Barkley even on the Eagles). I ate at one of the picnic tables to take in the sun, breeze and low mountain across the road. I ate a Classic (boiled turkey dog) and Fryer (beef/pork deep oil), both with pickle wedge, chopped onions and yellow mustard). I enjoyed them both, but couldn't tell them apart. The fries were excellent, and I continued eating them long after the dogs were devoured. The joint was humming by the time I left to return south to Bucks County. An hour drive, I rolled down the window to feel the warm breeze on my face. 5 Stars for the 50 years of hot dog authenticity and the grand day they came wrapped in.

I passed a a bunch of quickie eats places - all on the wrong side of the road! Eventually, coming home on Rt 202, I saw this hot dog truck and pulled in. Unlike many others I have visited, this one had a sign that said "grilled" - not DWH (look it up)! I am watching my diet so I ordered a dog, kraut, mustard and red onions with a diet soda. It was so good I went back an got a second helping. Yes, THAT good. The truck has been around for a long time (I used to work at the magnificent corporate center down the road) so the quality, price and yumminess has stood the test of time. Lots of parking, picnic tables, easy in and out if you're a good driver and a classic New Jersey hot dog meal to go or stay. Do a dog here and you'll thank me later. Recommended

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 went with my boyfriend during his lunch break. There was a decent crowd near the food truck. We waited in line for about 10 minutes before we ordered and then waited about another 15 minutes for our hot dogs. It wasn't a terrible wait, it seemed that some people that got there before us were waiting longer for the food to be cooked. They also were close to running out of chili, so maybe they weren't expecting that high of a demand today. Overall though, great experience, amazing hot dogs! Definitely worth standing in line and waiting! The food truck owner woman is super nice and friendly as well! There are SO many hot dog varieties on their website but today they showcased 4.

Small, cozy, and not trying to be something it's not. There are a few tables if you want to eat there, but it definitely feels like more of a grab-and-go spot. I ordered a half cheesesteak sandwich with peppers and onions while my wife chose a half cheesesteak without. The sandwich was a good size. You have to be very hungry to finish a half. My wife was only able to get through half of her sandwich. Since we were bringing the sandwiches home, we chose not to get any drinks or sides. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Service was friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. No long wait, even with a few people ahead of us. If you're looking for a quick, solid lunch in Whitehouse Station without the chain restaurant feel, this is a good option. We'll definitely be back when we want something simple and well made.

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.
