Deerhead Hot Dogs, Newark/Christiana — Restaurant in Delaware

I heard about Deerhead Hot Dogs from social media when I moved to Delaware. I am a transplanted hot dog disciple from New York City (Papaya King was our local temple.) I went to the original Maryland Avenue joint near the Wilmington/Newport border. It's down the street from DE 141 and the old Saturn assembly plant.

I wanted authentic...the original faded signs, with the portrait of the dear deceased founder over the original fountain counter with swivel chairs and all. It's still there, and it's part of the "experience". Get one dog with "Everything"...better yet, get two. Take a bite and step back in time.

You have a juicy, fresh split beef dog, big local bakery bun, layered with a mix of sauteed onion and yellow mustard mixed together. Over that, the dog is drowning in that Detroit/Greek "Coney" sauce...hyper-pureed chili with a decent chili kick to it. They give you a paper plate to catch everything that spills off. Grab a fork to rub it back on every...

I Love DeerHead Hot Dogs It's been a staple in my family since I was a little kid. My dad always reminded me that the original was a bar Maryland avenue location is great. Love the atmosphere service a plus but the Newark location on the other hand was horrible. Me and my son rushed there on a cold winter night to get some food perfectly. Making sure we showed up there at 6:25 plenty of time before closing at 7:00 just to be told that they weren't doing anymore dining in orders because they were closed even though it says online that they close at 7:00. So fine. We ordered hot dogs to go and with fries but yet they had no more fries. Sure that was total BS. They just didn't want to make any more fries at night? Very disappointing and infuriating. They need to do better. Step it up! Newark change your hours online if that's what you need to do. Don't kick me out when I get there 35 minutes...

VERY RUDE AND EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL!!!!! I PICKED UP A DOOR DASH ORDER DURING A RAINING DAY. SOON AS WALKED IN THE ESTABLISHMENT I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DESK/REGISTER AND I WAS ASKED CAN I BE HELPED WITH SOMETHING AS IF I WAS LOST. I SAID I HAVE A DOORDASH "S.Z". I WAS TOLD I CAN'T BE SERVED WITH A HOOD ON AND I TO TAKE MY HOOD OFF IMMEDIATELY. I ASKED WHY? THE WOMAN SAID BECAUSE THEY WERE ROBBED BEFORE. FOR ONE, I'M NOT A CUSTOMER, IM CONTRACTED INDEPENDENTLY AND WORKING WITH RESTAURANT!! SECOND, I HAVE NOTHING COVERING MY FACE, MY HOOD WAS BARELY COVERING MY HEAD. I HAD IT ON TO KEEP MY HAIR FROM GETTING WET. SOMEONE HAVING A HOOD ON DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE THERE TO ROB YOU! ALSO, HAVING PEOPLE TAKE THEIR HOODS DOWN WON'T STOP YOU FROM BEING...
