New Jersey has some of the best burger & dog stands and drive-ins in the country. You have nationally acclaimed landmarks like Rutt’s Hut, Hiram’s, Hot Dog Johnny’s, The Windmill, Jimmy Buff’s, and White Manna, along with less nationally famous, but equally great and locally beloved institutions like the Hot Grill, Johnny & Hanges, Texas Weiner I, Steve’s Burgers, Hanks Franks, White Rose Hamburgers, and the Galloping Hill Inn. Morris County, which is where I live now, is home to several spots that deserve similar recognition. The After Charbroil, Davy’s Hotdogs, Rocco’s, J&M Grill, The Dover Grill (which of course is the subject of this review) and Andy’s Roadside Dive (if they reopen) are all amazing. The Dover Grill’s atmosphere is retro Americana and would fit in on any Hollywood 20th

Quintessential Burger Vibes This is really what it’s all about. Classic seasonal burger & dog spot that holds down a community for years. Got a dbl slider with onions and cheese. Couldn’t be happier.

Grill serves very good food at reasonable prices and is a local gem. Also nest to Dover Dairy Maid which is a great combo for eating from the grill hen getting dessert after. Parking is difficult at times however. It's street parking with a lot across the street which normally fills fast. Not open year round but is only closed a few months each year (December - February) Overall really good experience. Will be returning

★★★★☆ 4.0 David G. · Jun 2025

The Dover Grill is outstanding. I can't provide information on the burgers , l always get the Dogs and Fries, and they are both Outstanding. I believe the Dover Grill is definitely in the top 10 hot dog stands in New Jersey.

Latest visit was to Dover Grill which based on its name is in fact located in Dover on Route 46. Can honestly say I've passed this spot countless number of times and have never bothered stopping in until recently. With a good choice of dogs to order from, picking was not easy but ended up ordering a chili dog with onions and a hot onion dog with a small side of fries. Came in after the typical lunch rush and was able to grab a stool inside. While some reviewers may say the place is dated, I will say the place is nostalgic and made for a great lunch atmosphere. The Hot dogs were tasty and the krinkle cut fries were served hot. Bummed that I've passed by so many times and never bothered stopping in. Will definitely add them to the rotation. Was prompted to stop in prior to them
