50 Best Hot Dogs near Long Island City

“Great view, and great staff, there were always long lines for the 2 bathrooms though. I also do NOT recommend the margaritas, they are pre-batched with some nasty mixers. Stick to the 1&1 (vodka soda, gin tonic etc), or beer. Our friends did order the burger, and it looked and smelled amazing.“

“great food and great service“

“That’s my Lic go to spot I love ❤️ checkers“

“Dog Day is a truly special place and the reason I moved to the neighborhood. I otherwise consider myself a vegetarian of 8 years. These hot dogs are divine any time of the year, but here’s my advice:

On a crisp fall day, don’t eat until 2pm. Have two Chicago dogs and a milkshake, then walk through the park. A cure-all.

Last October I had a great conversation with a zombie witch who shared my table. It told me to always, always answer when I hear the hot dogs calling. Sometimes I hear the dog’s call ringing through Greenwood Cemetery treetops at night and I have to wait up all night in a cold sweat praying for noon to arrive.“

“When my brothers were kids, they would stop to eat at Hiram"s on their way back from Palisade's Amusement Park. My mom would always ask why. My brothers replied, "the food is better at Hiram's! When I worked for Thomas J. Lipton in Englewood Cliffs, my co-workers and I went to Hiram's for lunch often. I plan on going very soon! I so love Hiram's for the food and it's longevity.“

“So delicious! You must order at the kiosks outside, and then walk in the back to pick up your order. Service was fast and you can tell they take care to make sure quality is satisfactory. The space was clean, although there’s no where to sit or stand and eat. So you have to take your food outside and find a spot, which is not always pleasant because 32nd street is very busy. Regardless, the hot dog was so tasty and the portion size was large. I would come back here!“

“I went to this spot about 2 weeks ago and all I can say is it’s amazing! From the crunch and snap of the links to the buttery bun and delicious toppings and their fries are amazing! The prices are a little high for a hotdog but it’s worth it! Perfect spot for a cheat day lol“

“Try the Baked beans and Cole Slaw hot dog. Excellent. My Dad goes there every Monday for dinner. They treat him so well there. I really appreciate everyone that works there. I rate them 4 thumbs up 👍👍👍👍“

“I have been buying their hot dogs for 48 years and they have the best chili. I travel 1-1/2 hours to buy their chili for my BBQ parties.“

“Great place Great food very nice people“

“Hot dog itself seems like it's deep fried so the skin is crisp while the inside stays juicy, with great pork flavor. The bun is pretty normal which seems like a waste when so much effort is put into the hot dog and toppings. Restaurant gets pretty loud and crowded with all the speakeasy customers but we were able to find a seat even on Saturday night.

The hot dogs are on the smaller side so you can have one as a light meal or combine it with tater tots. Splitting two hot dogs and a side of loaded tater tots between two people is good for a full meal.

Lil Ma hot dog - was intrigued by the peanut butter and it paired pretty well with the acidity of the pickles
Elote hot dog - not as impressed by this one but good if you like the toppings included
Nacho tater tots - reminds me of something you'd make at late night in a college dining hall and really hits the spot after a long day of walking around NYC“

“This spot has become my midday go-to. The dishes satisfied us yet weren't the best we've encountered. The employees delivered outstanding service quality. The neighborhood provides extended entertainment. This place is worth coming back to.“

“Billy is the most amazing and nice guy! I arrived at the last minute before he closed and not only he was very nice, but did not allow me to pay for my hot dog. Simple, but great cleana and fresh hod dog to complement your walk in Central Park!“

“Es un grato lugar, económico y seguro“

“Si estas en NY tienes que ir Comer ponerle todas las salsas y tomarte una foto cool 😎“

“LOVE this stand! The best in NY! Support the vets who fought for our country! The food is fresh and perfect! 👌🏻“

“With an appetite on the search for a corndog, we avoided the questionable city food trucks and google searched the closest one; Chelsea Papaya turned up.

The corndog as seen in the photo, was crunchy, great balance of mustard, ketchup, cornbread and overall ✨amazing✨ soo if you’re particularly looking for a cornbread, check the place out. Staff was nice.

will come back“

“Doughnuts are super yummy! And the milkshakes are soooo good!“

“Got the half mozzarella, half beef dog with the potato coating and it hit the spot. Super crispy on the outside, cheesy and juicy on the inside. It is one of those things where you take a bite and immediately want another.

Edit: I wish it came with a full beef dog instead of just half, and the kimchi fries didn’t include enough fries or kimchi for what we paid.“

“First noticed while watching the movie Fools rush in. Since my last name is Gray I always wanted to go there. Been there in 2010 the first time and immediately fell in love. A couple a weeks ago I went to New York on short notice and the first thing on my to do list was going there. Say what you want. Those are the best hot dogs on the planet. And I will go there again everyone I visit NYC. You just have to love them❤️“

“My buddy talked highly of this place so I gave it a shot. In less than a month I've made the trip 3 times and can't wait foe the next. The owner and his wife are fantastic, welcoming, and super into thier craft. I say craft because these aren't generic combinations, theyre thought out combinations and flavors that work perfectly in whatever way you like. It's my favorite hot dog spot I've ever visited. I can't wait to go again!“

“First time drinking a smoothie from this spot and it’s amazing 🤩. I will be trying out new flavors and I’ll recommend this spot to all my family and friends. It’s a must have.“

“This is a perfect little snack spot right outside The US OpenTennis Center with a variety of very affordable, tasty breakfast, lunch and snack options to satisfy everyone. There are enough tables and benches around for enjoying the scenery and people watching while you dine.“

“Excellent customer service all around i hands down received the best customs service i’ve ever had in my life from the worker Thant Sin. He was extremely kind and helped me through every question i had an was very polite. If i had a business i’d have him work for me blindfolded“

“Loved my time at this place, Dave the bartender/ Bar manager was great to talk with and made me the smoothest Manhattan I have ever had. All the staff were great as well. Food came quick and smash burger and waffle fries were on point. Will be back !“

“This place is so good! I’m more of tender / sandwich person so can’t speak to the wings but I got dinner there one night and came back soon after… definitely adding to my rotation. I think it’s made fresh to order because takes a bit of time to prep - the quality is very good and chicken is super tasty.“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“BEST hot dogs in NYC hands down! Recommended 100%. Also try the other amazing Venezuelan specialties they have to offer. You won't regret it ;)“

“Friend just brought me here for breakfast, street parking can be a bit challenging otherwise the place was great. Seating was plentiful.

My friend and I ate a bacon egg and cheese on toast. The entire sandwich is a beautiful presentation. The toast was golden brown, warm and sliced as to envelope the ingredients. The cheese a warm gooey skin around the walls of the toast. The bacon, added wonderful flavor to the fluffiest eggs I have seen in quite a while. I highly recommend stopping in and trying it for yourself. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“The egg toasts were delectable! Actually so happy my sister and I chose to come by. It has a tiny kick of spice which was a pleasant surprise. My sister got the vanilla flat white coffee and she loved it and finished it so quickly. The only thing I wasn't over the
moon for was the corndog. I got the mozarella hot dog corn dog and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again.

The space is small but offers some seating indoors and outdoors. I will definitely try to come again for the egg toast specifically.“

“the best shakes and burgers are very good 🔥“

“A quick stop at Nathan's Famous with all items available on menu. Great service from the senoras holding it down in that area of BK. Clean. Quick. Great fresh food. Amid other amenities to grab on the go with really banging desserts available at the same spot. Definitely a place to visit when you're itching for that kind of food experience. A very New York food experience.“

“Out of this world burger..“

“We went yesterday to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. I had never been here before so this was the sweetest surprise. The host was so welcoming and gave us a choice for upstairs dining or downstairs and let us see both before we made a decision. We chose downstairs and were seated near this big, beautiful clock. Our server, Randy, was absolutely the BEST EVER! He was so attentive, made great recommendations, and checked on us frequently. The food was delicious...from the potato skins, to the truffle burger, and the sundae...we we so impressed. The restaurant knew it was our anniversary and surprised us with two glasses of champagne which made us feel so special. The roaming photographer was a nice touch and we loved the picture used in the complimentary postcard so much, that we bought two others. It was a great evening and we thank the staff so much for making such a special night for us“

“The girls at the counter are super nice and very aesthetic. The place seems really nice and the food here is super good. I’ve been eating here for the past two years with my boyfriend and we both love it at all price matches, food quality, and will forever come every day of my life Every hour“

“Stopped by Jackson Heights, it was delicious & well worth the Q70 bus ride & walk from LGA & back. ���“

“Corn Dogs were really good. You can choose what style you want and what filling you want. I really like the number 2 Spicy sauce & Hot Cheetos powder with mozzarella. Has a nice cheese pull. Its served hot and fresh, I always try get whenever I’m near.“

“I got the B4 burger which was sexy and glorious. Portioned to perfection. My only qualms were with the wings. A bit dry for me and they weren’t tossed in the sauce as the sauce lay at the bottom of the packaging.
Got to also watch El-clasico whilst waiting for my food too.“

“Hamburguesas deliciosas y las papas con salsa de queso!!!!“

“First time visiting, and it was delicious!“

“There needs to be more easy vegetarian options like this. Great sandwich, person at the register was very kind and there was free coffee and tea.

Edit: right after I posted this the person working came out to hand me a free hot chocolate :)

Vegetarian options: All vegan menu“

“Great burger and fries, fast delivery. One of the best burgers ever.“

“the best shakes (tried a few) I have ever had. thick enough but drinkable from the beginning.“

“What a sexy and inviting blues, folks music joint. All musicians are welcomed on Tuesdays from 8 to 1 to share their love of blues, jazz, folk music and to be yourself. Vegan hotdogs and a simple menu. A sexy and warm experience. I go there all the way from Rockaway Beach to Williamsburg.“

“Great food and friendly service!“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Bobbi's keeps getting better! When they first opened I was SO excited to have a place that serves affordable vegan/vegetarian hot dogs and sandwiches alongside their classic meats. Now every time I go in, there is a new special to try, a new piece of decor or beer to check out, and the vibe could not be better. Good music, great movies (on silent!), amazing artwork! The tables feature hand drawn illustrations! Something for everyone here!“
