    Walter's is one of those places that'll get an occasional look when we want some good hot dogs and some great milkshakes (and the occasional surprise, like at AnimeNYC). Just as usual, a couple of Big Walts with mustard and a single with ketchup, along with Oreo and Salted Caramel Cowboy shakes. This time we tried the latter with malt added, and I won't order it any other way from now on. In addition, they had a watermelon lemonade available, which we also had to give a try--quite refreshing and flavorful, with the only disappointment being its limited nature. Additionally, they have a nice outdoor seating arrangement that feels very much like a classic barbecue or picnic area, which is especially great for the season. They're definitely worth stopping by, particularly if you're a fan of specialty shakes.

    I forgot how much I like Walter's. It must be 20 years now since an industry colleague asked me and a mutual friend if we've been to Walter's Hot Dogs yet. I was a neophyte in the Hudson Valley at that point and hadn't been, but made amends right away. It became a fairly regular stop during summers my first few years up here: weekly drives down the Hudson Valley to Long Island were made more palatable knowing I could swing by Walter's on the way home. A change of jobs meant I had not been back in a while, but I corrected that today on the way home from the airport. It's just such a cool and friendly spot. The split homemade hot dogs and mustard, the fries and just the entire experience are wonderul. I've met friends there, and everyone loves it--the food and the whole experience. It's another great spot in our region. Oh, and it's been there over 100 years and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.

    Historic Landmark.

    I have had Walter's on my "to do" list for so long now. Finally got to have some of their fantastic Hot Dogs! We got there right around 11:30 and the seating area was pretty much the high school from across the street. Thankfully, once we got in line, their lunch was ending to they skeedaddled back to class. I placed my order for a single, and a puffy dog, both with mustard. My Brother got the same. How were they? Amazing! Hot Dogs- These hot dogs are a blend of pork/veal/beef. They slice them in half and cook them on the grill so both sides get nice and charred/cooked. Their mustard is like a spicy brown style mustard, and they are served on soft steamed buns. What does that equal? A damn fine hot dog! The chew of the dog was great, and that mustard was phenomenal (I should have bought a bottle of it). I could see why all the high school kids were eating here...I would too.....like every single day! lol. Puffy Dog- Same as the hot dog, but they add 2 potato puffs inside the bun. It created a nice texture, but I liked the straight up dog better. Service was great at the window, and the building is very cool! Historic Landmark! If I lived near by, this would definitely be my spot, and if I'm ever back near NYC, I'm taking the drive up here to get some more dogs. They were awesome! Wish I had ordered more, but we had a long day of eating pizza ahead of us!

    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

    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.

    It's a sports bar! A flavorful stop, that you will see everything you want with a hot dog! You come…read morehungry and leave FULL! When looking at the menu you think you can eat 2 hot dogs... no no no 1 is very much enough. Not a fan of the desserts. Appetizers- we're good as well! Everything comes out hot and fast!
