Very unique and fun place to visit if you’re a foodie, tourist, or even if you’re not! Obviously, there are lots of regulars to be in business for 100 years! The hot dogs are different, not the usual at all. Sliced in half and grilled with a good “char” and the snap that a lot of people like. They’re very meaty and reminded me a bit of polish sausage. Not a whole lot of flavor to them, but they weren’t bland either. Love how finely diced the onions are, and there is no skimping! Then there is the RELISH! I didn’t order it at first, then saw the sign that said it is homemade, so I asked for a little sample, and oh my gosh, is it GOOD! Best relish I’ve ever had! Service was friendly and the server was very knowledgeable about their history and such. The place is very clean too, though the bathrooms could use a little spiffing up. Street parking was easily available within close walking distance. Overall, a great stop! P.S. It was only $18 and change for two dogs, an order of fries, and two drinks!

Super famous place thats been around for 101 years!!!!! My son & I came in late one night recently with about an hour till closing. Staff starting to sweep the floor but very friendly and ready for us. Classic old diner feel & decor with “back in the day” pics and menu on the wall ($0.30 for a tall 32oz beer?!?). Chocolate milkshake came out 1st from our order- AMAZING! Famous Hot Weiner combo closely behind. Food was fresh- str8 outta the fryer and off the grill. Hot dog had a unique taste & presentation that was good. Hamburger was also presented on a hot dog bun (kinda cool) with decent flavor but not enough meat to bun ratio…..in my opinion. {{truth be told, this is the first visit I’ve had here since I was a kid}} The staff seemed happy to serve us & checked on us several times before and during our meal. All smiles as we paid at the register and we were invited back -“see you next time!” So- brief visit but mostly a good / positive / nostalgic experience!

Visited here for the first time with my son. It was more for experience rather than for the food. Not that the food was bad, it was good for what it was. It was exactly what we were looking for and what we expected. They were definitely hot weiner's no doubt about that. The toppings were great and the frys were good to. The price was right, the waitress was polite and the service excellent. It definitely was a cool experience none the less and my son and I had a great time conversing with the waitress and checking out all of the pictures on the wall, finding out all of the history of the restaurant and why the hotdogs snap when you bite into them. I don't think we'll be regulars but since my wife, kids and I kinda dub ourselves as foodies it was a cool place to visit and I definitely recommend you do the same if you ever find yourself in Hanover PA and you want some good hotdogs.

This has to be some of the Absolute worst food and service that I have ever had in my life. I ordered 2 chilli cheese dogs with onions. Fries Pepsi and a glass of water. Got my Pepsi right away. Pepsi was flat. She never brought me my water. My Hot dogs came. They had no chilli or cheese on them. Half the fries were burnt the other half soggy. I Told the one rude lady server they had that my order is messed up and you still haven't brought me my water. Told her that I ordered 2 chilli cheese dogs with onion. She said that was my fault I put the order in wrong. Round 2 the new dogs came out. They only had chilli on them. No cheese no onion and had to ask for my water again. Told the server again. Round 3 I got my water the new dogs came. They had chilli and onion but still no cheese. I said screw it and tried to take 1 bite. The hot dogs were very hard to bite into. They were like hard pieces of rubber. I spit it out into a napkin and said I am done. I got up to leave and the lady server said that will be $13.95. I said for what. The soda is Flatt and you messed up the ordered 3 times in a row. And it was not edible and that I took one bite and spit it out. She said that will Still be $13.95. All the food was still on the table. I said do you have a number that I can call corporate or your manager.She says you know what just leave and don't ever come back. You don't ever have to worry about me ever coming back or any of my friends coming back that live right around the corner. The worst service and food that I...

Fame must've gone to those hot weiners' heads bc they ain't even tryin'. Buh-laaaaand. The chili is like if meat learned about chili from a photograph in a rain-soaked Betty Crocker cookbook on the dollar rack outside a used bookstore and thought, "Hey, I could do that." The onions are like they heard a rumor that they were supposed to be all strong and spicy and slouched off to an opium den instead. The hot dog's like a teenager that doesn't want to get out of bed on a school day. The bun's a bun. The fries are salt-free, so that's a health bonus, but overall your heart is going to be nagging your conscience all the way home. The staff was nice and service was quick. They do the paper wrapping up right. And the place has a cool diner-y vibe. I drove up to Hanover from DC to break in my car and figured I'd check out the place. I wouldn't go out of my way again, but if I found myself there I might give it another go and try something else on the menu. After that, though, it'd probably be quits. As long as you're up there take a gander at the Square Commercial Center a block or so away. It's an old Bon Ton that got urban-revitalized with a groovy/grim metal wrapper...

After having driven past this place probably 15 times, I was intrigued by the thought of the sign that said they have the best wieners. I thought okay we'll see do they do a breakfast as well because that was what I was aiming for. The breakfast platter was eggs toast and a wiener. Of course, you had the choice of sausage bacon ham or a hamburger as well. I believe I chose wisely as all the food and in particular the wiener was quite well cooked and really very tasty was delivered quickly cost me under 6 bucks and I was feeling like I had gotten a nice deal for breakfast that was very respectable. Even the toast was good - a bit oversized from what I'm used to but that was fine with me. The cook and the waitress were very friendly. I enjoyed the ambience, this is a real diner so if a real diner is what you want then brother this is your place since I was there for breakfast, I will confess that I did not look over their whole menu very closely. I will definitely be stopping by here again as I cut through Hanover. A nice place at a very respectable price. Two thumbs...
