Jolly Nick's — Restaurant in Dumont

One of the best jersey dogs, you don't find these deep fried hot dogs outside of Jersey. These guys use a natural casing thummans dog. It's a perfect size. Big enough for a big guy to double down on and small enough for the kids and little eaters to fill up on one. They use the old style color coded ordering system but don't worry there's no problem just telling them exactly how you want yours. These guys used to be in Westwood many many years ago. So yes, if you recognize the name that's why. Single proprietor. Owner operated. Dad helps out for the lunch time when they are packed with the local students from nearby schools. I order ahead anytime between 11 and 1. Great chili and Dr. Browns in the fridge. Great prices. Also have burgers, chicken and fish. Chili cheese fries.

The establishment was still dirty. Don’t get me wrong those hot dogs taste good but imagine the oil they fried them in. Do they change it. Wish they had extra help and a more clean...

But it's more than just a nice greeting that makes Jolly Nick's a winner, it's the high quality food that is the big selling point. The hot dogs are quite large, bigger than most standard hot dogs sold in eateries; the burgers and cheesesteaks substantial and filling, The prices here are most economical too. The clientele is your prototypical neighborhood crowd, most pleasant, and it is a pleasure to see a staff that shows a genuine eagerness and...
