Red Tower II — Restaurant in North Plainfield

Red Tower II has been around for the past 80+ years and you can sort of tell by the outside of the restaurant. The place itself is a bit dingy and the floors and tables are a little sticky but what you see is what you get and I appreciate that honesty & transparency in a food place. The hot dogs here were incredible, I ordered 2 of their Texan Wieners, 1 chili dog & 1 relish & onion.

The dogs had the same taste as the fries. Meaning they used the same old oil to grill the fries. The toppings such as chili was bland and gray looking....

Ok so maybe the place does look a little out dated, but I still love this place. I know the guy and the cook behind the counter and actually am cool with them. We chit chat a few times. I always come here for their California Cheeseburgers and French fries which I love so much. It might be a little expensive, but worth it in my opinion. I've been coming here ever since I was a little kid since about 5 years old. I would come here every Saturday night after church with a group of my church friends. Today I am 29 and moved to Philadelphia back in 2013. But whenever I am in the area, coming to this place to eat is always on my mind and will try to come if I...
