Consistently, the best hot dogs in Hudson County. The guys are always congenial, service is fast. Atmosphere is what you would expect from a sidewalk emporium. Boulevard Drinks is a much-loved Jersey City institution for 1,000 reasons.

Nice little hidden gem near Journal Square. Had the chili dog, and they have a great assortment of drinks, which makes sense because of the name. Given that NJ is the hot dog capital of the world (don't deny it), this place is a must, given that it has somehow stayed around since 1937. After 6 it is window service only, so if you want the old counter experience, go before then. Prices are reasonable, the hot dog is pretty good. Next time I will try the combo so I can grab one with cheese.

It's been a long time since I've had a hot dog from this place. Today I treated myself to two dogs and an orange drink. Still excellent after all these years. We need more places like this for an inexpensive bite and drink. The place is small with a few stools and small counter. Their hot dogs and toppings are of the upmost top quality. And they're generous with the topping too. While I have to watch my food intake nowadays, I will always recommend their chili dogs. Best! Price for a dog with toppings are in the $3 range, little extra for the chili but well worth it and still cheap compared to other places to eat in the area. Drinks are fairly cheap as well. Staff always courteous. Grab a hot dog and drink and enjoy!

2 dogs and my puppy dog Liberty at this classic Jersey City Frank hole in the wall. Place is from the 30s and once sported one of the razziest Neon signs in signage history. For some reason taken down. That said, lotta charm and the dogs went down well. People who worked their also super chill dudes. Pineapple drink to wash it all down.

What a great hot dog spot. Reminds me of Gray's Papaya and Papaya King in NYC. Just wanted to try it out and was pleasantly surprised. It's not in a nice area and parking is scarce, but it's worth the trip.

The hotdogs are the best in the world. The chili and cheese is especially good.

Easily one of the worst hot dog places that I’ve ever been to. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to try their hotdogs, and I never tried them because they’re overpriced and I was scared for them to taste generic. Today I decided to go there and give them a try and one hotdog cost 4 dollars which was insane but I said it should taste good so I got hotdogs and this is the presentation.they barley put chili and everything just looks a mess and the person that was doing it was so nervous like it was his first time.and one hot dog was burnt . I should’ve just left the hood there and ask for my money back because I just wasted $8 when I could’ve what somewhere else and had a full meal I could’ve had bette hot dogs from 7/11 for 3 quarters of the price

Living in the area and being a city girl and loving me a good papayas, had to try this quaint hot dog spot which seemed to be popular and smell like home. Decided on a Sunday after to try it out after a nice walk in the area. The place is small ran by two friendly gentleman. They have a simple menu with various options and simple dewls to go along with it. Two hits with a drink, $.50 off and three hits with a drink and a dollar off and I like this one; $1 refills as I could use one on the pina colada . The place gave a homey local vibe that everyone came to and I would say would be a place I would revisit when I'm needing a good hotdog or craving some papayas style vibes.
