    One of my all time favorite hotdog spots. Whenever I am in town, Walter's is a must visit! The food was nice and hot. The service was great. Food was out within a few minutes! Plenty of outdoor seating available. Restrooms are clean and available if needed.

    Truly A Westchester staple. The classic building that encases this hot dog stand is a beautiful and historic, matching the food itself. A Water's hot dog is unlike a normal one that you'd find at a baseball game or in the grocery store. It has a unique flavor that has stood the test of time. The curly fries are perfectly seasoned and crispy and this might be one of the only places in Westchester you can still get an egg cream (haven't had one here in a while but it's still on the menu!) I came for their 106 year anniversary since hot dogs were $1.06 and man, did it hit the spot. I drank that float so fast it was almost gone by the time my hot dogs were ready. I saved the strawberry shortcake sundae in the freezer while I ate my dinner and honestly I was a bit disappointed. The sponge cake wasn't soft enough for my liking and the strawberries didn't seem fresh but its not a normal menu item so I can't knock it too much. Everything else was just so perfect.

    You know why Walter's Hot Dogs have been around since 1919? Because it is an awesome experience of good hot dogs and a family friendly place enjoyed by so many generations. Kids have a great time and the parents can relax. Great menu with a variety of options and yes there is a veggie dog for those that are inclined to go that way. Love the floats with you choice of soda and flavors of ice cream. This place just speaks to simpler times and good family outings. Service is quick and friendly. There is usually a line, but it moves quickly as each order is wrapped and bagged. Good mustard over split and grilled hot dogs. Parking in the back or on the street is easy. Plenty of outdoor seating if you stay or hop in your car and go. Corn hole for those wanting to give it a throw. This is a must try if you are in Westchester, NY.

    Have been pretty obsessed with Walter's since I had them recently at a food truck so of course we had to make stop at their OG location in Mamaroneck. There hot dogs pack a blend of veal, pork and beef grilled with a secret sauce, toasted bun and their mustard which is also to die for. They also have a variety of other things including French fries, straight and curly. We got their fries as a side, don't love them but could be worse, the hot dogs is truly where it's at. Walter's is a historical landmark, get the double, you won't regret it. In the summertime they have a nice patio around to the side of the parking lot with picnic tables and sometimes live music. This place can simply do no wrong, even for a pack of their dogs to take home.

    Deemed by someone I trust in the food world as the "best hot dog ever" so it was no surprise she brought the whole family out here for a celebration. They were indeed incredible hot dogs! We went the whole day without being sure if they were pork, beef or veal and it turns out they are a combination of all three. We were able to take over most of that back picnic area for a big gathering and they brought out batches of the hot dogs whenever we needed them so they were always hot a fresh. Sliced down the middle, they are grilled perfectly. I am a ketchup and mustard girl (sue me) and the mustard here is just the absolute best hot dog mustard. Makes sense because it is home made! On top of hot dogs, we tried a few of their milkshakes and malted and I have never chugged something so fast. Get. The. Malted. While this is just a hot dog stand with lots of pic nic tables, the vibe is fantastic, clean and very spacious. A perfect stop if you are in the area and even for a day drive if you are craving a great hot dog and milkshake.

    Truth be told, my party adventured here because of Kevin Dillon from Entourage. He grew up in Mamaroneck and mentioned how these are his favorite hot dogs in an interview. I can totally see why....and so reasonably priced. I ordered a Walter's single with "everything". It was very good, never had tried the split hot dog concept before. Because I ordered other items, I didn't order the double but in the future plan on trying the double and a chili dog. I also had the order of 5 Pigs In The Blanket. They did not disappoint! You can get 10 also if you plan on sharing. The Blanket was baked around the mini dog just perfect. A crust that was buttery and flaky. I dipped the pigs in mustard, just yummy . For sides, I had the curly fries and the new potato spuds. The fries were lightly seasoned, they were nice and crisp.The spuds were so good - like little mashed potatoes wrapped in a crispy potato coating - crunchy and delish. I had to have an old fashioned chocolate Egg Cream to drink. Ahhh, nostalgia at it's finest - highly recommend it. Quick friendly service , parking in the back of the stand and nice clean picnic tables with umbrellas to sit and enjoy the best hot dogs ever.

    No list of the greatest hot dogs in New York, the USA, or the world is complete if it doesn't include Walter's somewhere on that list. It doesn't need to be first place - individual tastes can vary and the world has many good hot dogs - but if Walter's doesn't make the list, that food writer has failed you. Walter's hot dogs are unique and delicious - split down the middle and grilled in butter - and worthy of a side trip if you're near the area. Note to Walter's: bring back sweet spuds

    The last time I was here, I was in my single digits in age. As a kid, my father would take me here frequently enough and I always looked forward to it. I wasn't sure how they did it, but their hot dogs - sliced down the middle - were always excellent. Excellent to the point that even though it's been decades since I've been here, they were by default the place to where all hot dogs were compared. There just wasn't any better hot dogs anywhere except from Walters. Truth be told, as much as I always remembered this place fondly and this was the place where they made the hot dogs perfectly, I had forgotten this place existed in the physical form. I got older, 'Walters' became just another memory from my childhood. No matter where I went, no hot dog ever could or would compare to the ones I had from Walters when I was 4-8 years old, even though I stopped being taken here. It was always like this. Once in a while I'd remember this place, but always assumed it was gone like every other place from my childhood. I never even looked it up. Then by chance very recently, I was walking around White Plains and saw a hot dog place called 'Walters'. I wondered if it was the same owner(s) that relocated or something. Thanks to the power of smart phones, I was able to quickly look up that my original Walters was still in the same place in Mamaroneck with the same unique building that I remembered and from that moment, I made it my business to get here as soon as possible. And that day was today. Keep in mind, I'm not a hot dog guy - I have them on occasion and that's it. It never mattered if one was good or decent, it just never compared to the ones I had from Walters when I was a child. When I decided to finally come back here after decades, I had wondered if my illusion would change or perhaps my taste buds did. I was almost briefly hesitant to try them because part of me didn't want my longstanding image of Walters' great hot dogs to be ruined by something that changed - whether it was ownership or me. But, I just had to try and I did. The hot dogs tasted great and still sliced down the middle. I got both with mustard (which I never did as a child) and I scoffed them both down in quick fashion. Yes, that taste was still there. I don't know exactly what they do to them, but whatever it is it's right. Walters still has the greatest hotdogs around. Period. I'm not sure if the menu changed or grew larger over the years, but they had plenty of other offerings. The curly fries (which I also ordered) were good. There's plenty of other options on the menu - from shakes to actual merchandise. You can even pick up hot dogs, buns, and mustard to play Walters at home. I ended up getting some mustard for the hell of it. I came near opening and it was already crowded. I expected a little wait, but my order came very quickly. They have quite a good system in place. There is a fairly large outdoor area for seats/tables - I imagine it's great for the summer weather. There is a high school across the street - which I never realized as a kid sitting on their steps and eating my awesome hot dog back then. Those kids are lucky they have this right across the street. They probably already know it since there were a lot of students there at the same time I was. Parking is street. Only had dealings with the cashier, who was nice. I went out of my way to get here after so long and now that it's fresh on the brain and now that I know this place is still here after literally decades, I will be returning often enough. It won't be for the nostalgia anymore as I did that just today. It will be for the still reigning best hot dogs around (and maybe other things off the menu as well). They've been open for over 100 years (1919), so they are clearly doing something right. Thank you Walters for still standing and being there.

    AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! The food here is incredible, everything is. Got the pretzel bun hot dog with mustard, curly fries, and a peanut butter shake. Loved it all. The pretzel bread is amazing I could just eat it by itself. It inspired me to go to Wegmans and get their pretzel buns and have everything on that now. The hot dogs are very flavorful. The curly fries have wonderful texture and flavorful spices. The peanut butter shake was delicious. Got the whip, but you don't really need it. Their famous mustard is great, it is a bold flavor. I like mustard but I'm not a mustard person so instead of mustard on the hot dog I like it on the side and I can dip it. I also liked the combo of dipping mustard/mayo with the hot dog. I've been to their White Plains location too and got the salted caramel shake, my favorite. The shakes are flavorful, thick, and creamy. I have not tried the cowboy extra thick shake, but I can't image it even thicker. The past week they were having an issue with their vendor for the potato puffs so I could not get them yet. Also not sure if that affected their sweet potato fries because we just ordered the sweet potato fries at White Plains and they were regular sweet potato fries and not sweet pot waffle fries and were also just okay - good texture but not as amazing as everything else. The staff were friendly and the food was ready quickly. I don't think you'll find any better amazing cheap food anywhere else in Westchester. Lots of picnic tables and surprised to see they have a bathroom.

    We tried it all! Hot dogs, sweet potato waffle fries, funnel fries, potato puffs, freeze.

I ordered a large bbq wings, a cheeseburger and a French Fry. The cheeseburger was good! Well cooked and tasty. Unfortunately, the order kind of went downhill from there. The fries were soggy from the bag they were delivered in and the wings were really soft and soggy, without a hint of crunch. I was sorely disappointed. 3 Stars on the strength of the cheeseburger which MIGHT have me back to try the food again... perhaps today was an off day.

I was excited to try the crab rangoon burger. But it vanished pretty quickly as the burger was not what I was expecting. The bun was not toasted, so the regular bread felt little dry. The patty needed way more flavor. The white cheese overpower all the crab meat. The fries were also merely okay. Unfortunately it was a mismatch to my taste bud. The staff were really nice and friendly. I wish the best and all the success to them.

    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.

    Listen, I have no real complaints. The food was great. The service was great. The atmosphere was…read moregood. But I am a fan of constructive criticism. I had the Gandolfi.
