About Carol's Lunch Box

Carol's Lunch Box is a small stand on the side of a parking lot that is highly recommended for its hot dogs. The food is prepared in a small structure with some picnic tables nearby where customers can enjoy their meals. The hot dogs are bun length Martin Rosol's dogs, fully steamed, which makes them stand out. The menu includes specialty dogs and build-your-own options, with a good variety of toppings. Popular choices like the Reuben dog and Chili Dog with mustard and onions receive praise, especially for their above-average kraut and chili. One of the restaurant's highlights is the house spicy pepper relish, which many customers find perfectly balanced and flavorful. Carol's hot pepper relish is often described as the best in CT and is a favorite among visitors. The staff, including the owner, is very friendly and passionate, providing quick service and helpful answers about toppings. Although the hot dogs could be a little bigger, their delicious taste and creative toppings make dining here enjoyable. Reasonable prices and friendly service make Carol's Lunch Box a good place to visit for hot dog lovers looking to sample some of the best in CT.

The hot dogs were delicious. The owner was very pleasant. I will go back again.

I made the trip from Wethersfield to Farmington today for my first visit to Carol's Lunchbox. Was it worth the trip? Absolutely. I tried the chili dog with onions and the German dog with brown mustard and carmelized onions. I added the tortellini salad and it made for a great lunch. There are more varieties to try so I'll have to make another trip soon. Maybe Cooper cheese on the chili dog...

Oh, and a bonus is that Carol and her assistant were both very welcoming -...read full review

For my first time at Carol’s, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The hot dogs were good tasting and it was cheaper eating than most outside restaurants.
