Dallas Hot Weiners

Sadly this place’s best days are past. Good ratings are earned.
In high school we used to come here. The nostalgia waned since.
Overtly bright, smells of Clorox. Only one other person present.
Overpriced meats, burger was overcooked. Owner plays favorites.

Best hot dogs around! Took away a star because it’s a huge inconvenience that they don’t take cash.

I am further reducing my review to one star, and I will not likely be eating at Dallas Hot Weiners again. The reason is because the hot dogs have gotten even smaller, and now they’ve started using smaller buns, presumably to draw less notice to the fact that the hot dogs have gotten smaller.
This decision is not just a matter of my being annoyed that this long-​established business has sunk to the despicable «shrinking product» strategy (although that’s certainly part of the reason). The main reason why I won’t be patronizing this restaurant any more is that the hot dogs have become so tiny that they’re simply not worth the money anymore.
Oh, well… I had been eating there for more than fifty years, so it was a pretty good run. But now it’s over. Such is life.

Best hot dogs in Kingston. Only wish they didn’t only take cash. There were no tables when we arrived so we sat at the counter. It turned out to be fun. Great service, we were served our food quickly after we ordered it. Delicious flavor. You can get these type of hot dogs in many places but there is something so deliciously special about Dallas Hot Weiners, I always have to get my fix while I’m in the area.

The bacon cheese burgers, too good too good all in all great food I’d recommend this to anyone who would try it. I’d say get the bacon cheese burger and cheese fries its sooooooooooooo gooooooooood

Good food, great price and awesome sauce. I’ve been coming here forever and it’s still my favorite place in Kingston for hot dogs or hamburgers with French fries.

Ive been here more times than I can count. My family lives in Clinton Corners which is on the other side of the hudson and east of the taconic pkwy. Its a long drive to Kingston but for these dogs the drive is absolutely worth it. I enjoy the old school vibe you get from this place. The dogs are awesome and the dallas sauce in my opinion is the best hot dog topping ive ever tasted. I take a jar of the sauce home with me every time to kick up my own home grilling experience.
It’s really that good folks, go and see for yourself.

Went out my way here for a boiled hotdog?
The hotdog was so wet, it became a challenge to clench the bread together to keep it from falling out. The sauce is a glorified version of sabrett NY onions, except there was never anything wrong with that recipe anyway.
the best thing here? the FRIES. everything else looked like elementary school lunch.

First of all, you go to Dallas Hot Weiners for hot weiners. Ignore all other proteins on the menu. These are hands down the best hot dogs you’re going to eat between Albany and Yonkers.
Now I know some people swear by the cheese dog but I’m a fan of the classic everything (Dog, Steamed Bun, Mustard, Minced Onion and Sauce. The cheese dog is everything and cheese). Don’t try to get cutie with the order: two dogs with everything, a side of fries or onion rings and a drink.
Two locations in Kingston. One Uptown and one in Mid-​town. Basically identical twins of each other (Mid-​town just has more parking and the municipal lot right behind the building).
While you can eat in at either location, this is primarily a pick-​up and go joint. During the lunch hour do yourself a favor and call in your order.

Damn that wiener hit all the right spots (thats what she said… har har…)
Seriously, this place delivers exactly as it should — consistent and tasty. Well worth a trip for a quick inexpensive bite.

Had to clean off the table myself… after they did.
«Special sauce» is a spicy brown gravy. Nothing spectacular.
Hot dog is just plain boiled dog. Bland.
Fries are good; McDonald’s style.
All other food is cafeteria quality.
Atmosphere is sterile and boring.
I hate it here. Waste of a lunch experience.

Two (maybe 3) hot dogs w everything, please! They are clean, friendly & inexpensive, The perfect hole in the wall to grab a hot dog or a burger. LOVE this place.

Atmosphere is great with counter and simple décor. Service is friendly and attentive.
Now the dogs: the classic Dallas hot with works didn’t blow me away. Sauce was too mild and the dogs didn’t crunch like a good weiner should.
Overall: if you are on front street and need a snack, hit it

Had better but decent.
Price: ⁴⁄₅ Probably the cheapest food you can get in the area. Had two Dallas wieners with everything, a Dallas cheeseburger and fries with sauce and cheese for under $ 10.
Quantity: ³⁄₅ pretty small portions, probably take three hot dogs or more to really fill you up, but the cheap price kinda makes up for that
Atmosphere: ³⁄₅ clean, with good quick service but nothing really special or outstanding
Quality: ²⁄₅ nothing special about the ingredients, pretty standard fast food fare
Taste: ³⁄₅ with what I consider below average hot dog and hamburger meats and buns, the only thing that really saves this place from a possible two star is their special sauce.
Overall: ³⁄₅
Decent fast food fare that is worth giving a shot if your in the area and on a budget. I’d recommend the sauce and cheese fries if you do come by.

OK… let me tell you about Dallas Hot Weiners… there isn’t another place in the world that can get me to eat three hot dos in one sitting but these amazing creations are unlike anything you have every tasted. All rationale and calorie consciousness goes out the window when you walk in the front door of this tiny, efficient restaurant. We do not live in Kingston — we’re from DC so when we make a trip to Kingston — everybody knows our first stop is Dallas Hot Weiners. One time we ate three meals there over the course of the weekend because we knew we wouldn’t get them for a while!!!
The word «AWESOME» does not do justice to these heavenly creations. I cant really explain what makes it soooooooo good but I can tell you that I am hard pressed to even eat one hot dog any other time in my life but these hot weiners… man! I am telling you! I would eat four or five at a time if my stomach had the room!
Things to look out for: There are not many places to sit so you might have to get them to go but dont worry about it — IT’S WORTH IT, place is always packed and bring CASH! Enjoy!!! :)

So I’ve written about hot dog places before, because I believe the holy Grail of hot dogs HAS to be somewhere in the NJ/​NY area. I’ve found some great spots that I need to re-​try so I can Unilocal them-​and I’ve found a few places that I DEFINITELY don’t need to taste again.
I was really surprised by Dallas Hot Weiners, but I’ll add it as a great addition to my list of ‘Go-​To’ hot dog joints. Though I generally don’t like dirty water dogs, this joint served great dogs. When we arrived, the line was out the door… and there were three important reasons-​first, the place is tiny and second, the dogs are well worth the wait and third, the prices will amaze you.
Now my wife used to go to this place as a kid so I got the inside scoop on what to order… KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid! I got a dog with kraut and spicy mustard, a chili dog, fries and a coke. Apparently people have spent years trying to figure out the owners’ chili recipe… and I know why-​best homemade hot dog chili I’ve ever tasted (truth be told I love Hormel chili on my dogs, but this was outstanding). They also have an awesome sauce I had on the fries… no idea what it was, but I wanted a bucket of it to take home.
So Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi be damned-​Dallas Hot Weiners beats a pile of Nathan’s dogs any day of the week!

The hot dogs here seem to be basically larger versions of the mini wieners found in the Capitol region to the north, @ places like Famous Lunch in Troy, Hot Dog Charlie’s in Cohoes, & Gus’s Hot Dogs in Watervillet. These dogs are at least twice the size of those specimens but are dressed very similarly in a oniony meat sauce. Unlike some of those spots these are not grilled but steamed. I know many people feel otherwise, but I far prefer a grilled dog to a steamed one. Regardless, the dog here was pretty good but all things being equal I would hold out a little bit until I made my way more north and get the smaller dogs up in those parts. This advice obviously pertains most to travelers, if you are a local you will most likely be eating a lot of these hot dogs no matter what. Its important to note that I didn’t try anything here besides the dog so take this review for what it is.

There is nothing fancy about this place but they do serve a very good hot dog with their Dallas hot sauce and the price is right. I’ve never waited long to get my food either.
I’ve also ordered the hamburger with the Dallas hot sauce and it is good. I tend to like a burger that is big n’ juicy which these are not. It would be sooooo much better if they served them like this :)
The fries and onion rings are good, not great. I say this because with the selection of places that serve fries and onion rings, I would go elsewhere.
The staff is always very friendly and while the décor is nothing special, the place always seems very clean.
So when the craving for a hot dog with Dallas hot sauce hits ya’, this is the place to go!

Great service, great sauce, but as a hot dog snob I’ve got to go two thumbs down on the actual dogs.
If they invested in some better dogs I’d live for a place like this. As it is I rarely visit. When I do I generally get something other then a hot dog. I enjoy the burgers and fries with sauce…
I just don’t understand a place with weiners in the name not doing a better job with the main product.
As I mentioned in the opening, really nice people own and run the place… easily 5 stars with better dogs.

It’s tempting to give Dallas Hot Weiners a five star rating, but I’m loyal to my hometown hotdogs. Ritzy Lunch in Clarksburg, WV is still the best.
While driving back from Woodstock, we stopped in Kingston for a bite. I have to brag about how good our lunch was.
These are some of the best hotdogs you’ll ever have. The secret sauce reminds me a bit of Swiss Chalet sauce. It’s savory with a flavor of poultry seasoning and other herbs rather than chili. But as I said, it’s a secret.
But it is close to what I’m used to in that they don’t favor ketchup in the diner. It’s a saucy chili poured over very tiny chopped onion and a ribbon of mustard. Sauerkraut and relish are also options. You can also top your dog with cheese, but I like pouring it on french fries instead. Their fries at Dallas Hot Weiners are very good. The hospitality is the real selling point. It’s so nice to sit down at a counter and meet friendly people.
Lunch for two was $ 11. We had two hotdogs each, shared a plate of disco fries and washed it down with fountain seltzer.
