50 Best Hot Dogs near Rego Park

“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.“

“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.“

“Full street food vibes. The Korean hot dogs were amazing: crispy, cheesy, and totally worth the wait. The setup is simple (order at the kiosk, one person running the show), so expect about 10–15 minutes, but it fits the street vendor feel. No seating inside, and it gets a little hot without AC, but you can grab your food and enjoy it at a nearby park. Authentic, tasty, and a must-try.“

“Good place for hot dogs 👌
After choosing my hot dog, the waiter came to tell me that certain ingredients were no longer available and that I could choose others instead, taken by surprise I chose something else without conviction 🤷‍♀️ too bad.
I really liked the atmosphere of the place!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Es un grato lugar, económico y seguro“

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

“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❤️“

“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.“

“I live in the area and been meaning to try Chelsea Papaya, and wow it was great! The fries were delicious and the service was great also. Great environment and felt like a real new york spot. Would defienetly recommend for late night food and will be coming back! Excited to try the juices“

“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.“

“I was at the bar across the street, got really hungry and I was looking for some quick food. Internet said this is the best Nathan‘s in New York City, even better than Coney Island one. I took the shot and they didn’t miss. Solid hotdog, cooked on real flame grill. I’ve had Coney Island hotdog since then, but it didn’t hold a candle to this joint.10 out 10 eat here again.“

“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 ;)“

“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 !“

“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 best shakes and burgers are very good 🔥“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely a hidden gem! The meat is juicy and flavorful. Really hit the spot. It’s hard to believe we have authentic Mexican cuisine in east queens. But this place hits. We will definitely come back

Huge bonus to the service and free tortillas chips & salsa

There special items on weekends such as Taco de oreja and Taco de lengua“

“Great food and friendly service!“

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

“First time visiting, and it was delicious!“

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

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

“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“

“Out of this world burger..“

“The glowing reviews online describe this place perfectly. Speedy and hospitable customer care. The group appreciated our variety of shareable plates. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming like a friend's home. I return here more than I should admit.“

“great food and great service“

“I don’t know why this isn’t rated higher. This is an insanely good burger joint. The burger is savory and perfectly sauced with just a hint of pepperyness on the sauce that brings out a ton of flavor. The fries were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.

The staff are super friendly and fun! The music is great. Seltzer water from the fountain machine!

And it’s open late-ish! Can’t beat it“

“The burgers are fresh and delicious. The service is fast and polite. Definitely my go to place for burgers and amazing fries!“

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

“Worth the wait worth the trip food from D’Angelo‘s is absolutely phenomenal You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them. Only down side I should’ve ordered extra to take home cause of how far they are other than that this place is highly recommended.“

“Good hot dogs with lots of spices to add“

“Decent meal and a clean table!“

“The soy fried chicken and sweet/spicy chicken is so good! We got the regular tteokbokki and I like it better than a lot of the bunsik places on Broad Avenue! The service was a little off tbh, but the vibes and food were great! The liquor store is connected so you can buy your alcohol from the liquor store, no extra charge.“

“Great late night spot.

Spirited late night crowd.

schnitzel and all the salads and dressings they offer is on point.
(I like schnitzel baguette scooped, lots of green charif and pickled jalapeones, purple slaw, fried onions, and some garlic mayo).
Food feels super fresh.

Aaron the late night manager makes it all come together. He did an excellent job all around.

This place is a must try daytime or night time.“

“Stopped by Loco’s Burger and was really impressed. First off, the fresh-made lemonade is a must-try — super refreshing, not too sweet, and clearly made with real ingredients. You can tell it’s natural right away.

The menu is a fun blend of flavors, and it feels like a Colombian-Mexican fusion spot. We ordered the sopes, La Diabla burger, and salchipapa — all packed with flavor and served hot. The La Diabla had a spicy kick, but still balanced, and the salchipapa brought back memories of Colombian street food. The burger named Gamina definitely caught my eye — a name that feels very Colombian and adds character to the menu.

They even have Colombian-flavored ice cream, which is a nice touch and adds to the fusion vibe of the place.

Overall, good portions, unique flavors, and a welcoming vibe. If you're into trying something a little different that blends Latin flavors, definitely give this place a shot.“

“Five Guys is a fast-food chain known for its tasty burgers and generous fries. Unlike traditional brands, here, the quality of the ingredients is highlighted: the beef is fresh and never frozen, the toppings are varied and customizable, and the fries are cut by hand and cooked in peanut oil.

The taste is there, with juicy burgers and soft bread. Being able to freely choose your toppings allows you to have a sandwich perfectly suited to your tastes. The fries, served in very generous portions, are crispy and tasty. Little extra: self-service peanuts which add an original touch to the experience.

However, the price is higher than other fast food chains, which may deter some customers. Additionally, restaurants are often noisy and the presentation of the dishes is quite basic. Despite this, the quality of the products and the taste more than justify the price.

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“Headed there after leaving an AMC nearby .. what a combo 👏🏾 👌 drinks/ food .. ohhh my lord, that stake!!! 🙏🏾 one of the best nights of the year, hands down! The saff is incredible welcoming, and trust me, i felt like they were reading my mind at times, lol“
