Central Hot Dog

Central Hot Dog is one of those spots that just feels like home. Walking in, you can tell they’ve stayed true to their roots… the recipes, the setup, even the atmosphere.. it reminds me of the other old-school hot dog joints we grew up on here. They’ve kept things the same in all the right ways while still keeping everything clean and up to date. The food? Good!🔥 Their chili dogs are top-tier you can taste that the chili is homemade, not out of some can. And those fries… listen, probably the freshest fries we’ve had in months. They came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside — like they were dropped just for us. If you want a local spot that serves comfort food with consistency and keeps that nostalgic vibe alive, Central Hot Dog is the place.

I don't think I've seen worse food from a restaurant before. The spaghetti and meatballs looks and tastes like chef boyardee, the roast beef is dog food. The burger was the only thing edible and at $14 I'd have been happier with a McDouble smh. Do not eat here.

Breakfast was so good, super fast, little pricy but worth it. Good value I had an omelet with Breakfast gravy and it was huge could only eat half and it tasted good the food was super hot. Ordered to go, when I arrived they opened the door for me to come in and when I left I thought that was nice and it wasn't too busy parking wasn't the best but we did just get 12 " of snow but I parked fine it wasn't too busy at 6 am but I would definitely return. 5 • ☆☆☆☆☆ •

Leave your pretensions outside. It's definitely rough around the edges. But ... the good: Open 24 hours, 7 days/week I don't know if the chili was from a can or homemade, and I am indifferent, because it was good. Very friendly and respectful atmosphere. Fries were excellent! It's going to lose against Le Cirque in terms of ambiance; which is alright. Central Hot Dog is a fine time with friends either before or after your main events. We'll be back.

What a memorable pit stop! We pulled in expecting a quick bite and were met with the warm welcome of Angie—the friendly blonde server you might recognize from other reviews. She was fantastic and definitely didn’t fit the vibe some negative comments suggest. Her service was outstanding—she even opened our bottled waters for us! Prices were super reasonable. We each went for three loaded chili dogs, and they hit the spot. The chef even joked, asking if he’d “thrown enough grease on there”—exactly the kind of cheeky fun you’d expect from a great hot dog joint, not a five-star steakhouse. The atmosphere? Unforgettable. From vibrant locals selling clothes outside to a half-asleep gentleman on a nearby bench, and stories of flying plates courtesy of the kitchen staff (you’ll have to ask the c
