Curtis Famous Weiners — Restaurant in Cumberland

Hands down, Coney Island serves the BEST wieners! Geno and the crew are always fantastic to chat with whenever my husband and I visit. As locals, we often find ourselves craving these delicious hotdogs. A few years back, when I was pregnant with my second son, I couldn't get enough of them. Geno even joked with my husband, saying, 'if she gets a craving in the middle of the night, you better come knock on my door.' While we never took him up on that offer, it just shows how passionate Geno is about his hotdog shop and the genuine connections he builds with everyone who visits.

The walk-up order window and wiener hut were great additions during Covid, but I think I can speak for everyone in town when I say it’s wonderful to see the doors open again. I could spend all day soaking in the atmosphere, looking at all the memories Geno has displayed around the shop, and enjoying the background chatter and laughter that always seem to be happening. He is also incredibly quick at whipping up a lunch if you're in a hurry and need to grab and go.

I once worked for a 90-year-old woman who loved sharing her fond memories of watching the family run the shops back in the day. She would light up with joy while enjoying a Coney Island hotdog and reminiscing. This little hotdog shop has touched so many lives over the years, and I deeply appreciate the dedication Geno and his team pour into making Coney Island what it is today. Do yourself a favor, stop in and experience the magic of Coney Island famous wieners for yourself. You’re sure to fall in love just...

Curtis Famous Weiners in the really nice historic downtown district of Cumberland is a gem hidden in plain sight. While traveling cross country we decided to stop in Cumberland, get gas, stretch our legs, and eat, using google to find something my wife read out "Curtis Famous Weiners", without any vetos, there we went. The menu is simple, weiners (also known as hot dogs) coney island style, burgers, and some side options.

The weiners are slim, boiled (or maybe steamed) served with dark mustard, chopped raw onion, and hot dog gravy (beanless chili). You can order weiners with less than all those toppings, but don't (more on this in a sec...) you can also order a burger with cheese and/or the above toppings, don't.

The place is not called Curtis Famous Weiners so you can order a burger, order the damn weiners or the guy who takes the sitdown orders will berate you to the back of counter help when he yells out your order to them from 4 feet away.

Also, you should order 2 or three per person, they are not huge, but we are talking like $1.20, so get 3 if you are a fully grown adult. Lastly, i mentioned sides, there's fries and maybe some other stuff, get the fries, the come out of the fryer at about 900 degrees, ketchup is available in little packets.

So, if you are ever rolling down i68 in western Maryland, make up some excuse to stop in Cumberland, and go to Curtis Famous Weiners, and get the damn weiners, it what they are...

Great place! The quality to price ratio is insane. $2 dogs with the works! And they're delicious, easily worth more than the price you pay. One thing to note is that they are cash only. My first time here I didn't know that and before I could even get my wallet out to pay, my dog was done. Since I didn't have cash they just gave it to me. Super nice and not the least bit expected. I've been back a few times since and of course bring cash, plus extra to leave a healthy tip. Get their signature dog with the brown mustard, onions, and chili. The fries are great, too. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet because this is my go-to place when I'm craving a quality dog and so I don't show up here to order a burger. But I'm sure whatever you order will more than satisfy you. Some reviews are pointing out the small sized dogs. They're small but not "bite sized". They're an "okay" size, just don't order only 1 and expect to be full. But these people saying it's expensive??? Absolutely not. Yeah the dogs are on the smaller size but they're $2 with everything. If you won't be full with just one, get two or three! Still a bargain and now your belly will be full. Where else these days can you get good quality, tasty food to fill your stomach for $4-$6? Nowhere else that I...
