About Famous Hot Weiner - Downtown Hanover

Famous Hot Weiner in Downtown Hanover is a family-friendly diner with a relaxing atmosphere and helpful staff. Known for its delicious milkshakes and famous hot wieners, the restaurant offers tasty meals with generous portions. The fries are praised for their soft and crisp texture, while the chicken could be more evenly cooked. Although the hot wiener was not as hot as expected, it delivered a delightful Americana taste. The banana shake was a highlight, described as Runts flavored soft serve goodness. Many long-time customers have enjoyed their visits for decades, appreciating the classic diner feel and friendly service. The menu remains the same, offering a nostalgic experience for those who grew up visiting the place. The staff is friendly and welcoming, providing quick service and leaving guests to enjoy their meal comfortably. Recent reviews mention that while the food is generally fresh and well-prepared, some customers found the hot dogs to be dry and with a weird texture, suggesting a possible change in supplier. Several reviews highlight the unique style of hot dogs, sliced in half, grilled with a good “char” and a satisfying snap, reminiscent of Polish sausage. The hot dogs are very meaty and not bland, with finely diced onions and homemade relish that is highly praised. The atmosphere is very much like a classic diner, with a nostalgic feel that transports guests to a different era, whether it’s 1956 or 1978. The building is historic, with plenty of family photos on the walls, and the service is excellent and friendly. The restaurant is clean, though some suggest the bathrooms could be improved. Street parking is easily available within close walking distance. Overall, the place is a great stop for those seeking a unique, fun, and nostalgic dining experience in downtown Hanover.

I've been eating here for 35 years. ALWAYS delicious. Hadn't been back in a while, went there yesterday and something was wrong with the dogs. They were awful. NOT Kunzler, too salty and tasted rancid. PLEASE get a new supplier

Finally had the opportunity to stop in for lunch with the wife and I can 100% see why this place has been around for over 100 years! The "Everything" dogs were fantastic! We will definitely be back!

I have been going here for 28 years and I must say the chili sauce has always been on point but I feel as of lately they really need to do some improvements because this is not the famous hot weiner I remember always use to be given a plentiful amount of fries with your order and I was in last week seem to skimp on fries and like the hot dogs and burgers have shrunk in size barely even fills up the bun anymore and thats super disappointing especially when prices have gone up....read full review
