Stop #3 on our Summer Hot Dog Joint and Diner Tour 2018...and a decent trip from our area, Hot Dog Caboose in Midland Park, NJ. My son Jason REALLY wanted to go here and I love trains, lol), so today we made the trip. Very cool location in an actual kaboose sits on an abandoned view along with an old car at the old station now an art gallery). It is also next to an active local freight line, did not see a train A good menu, but it is about the dogs. Hot Dogs are natural sheath saboards boiled hot water style if I'm not mistaken. You have many topping options as well as regular or pretzel rolls. I opted for two Chili-Käsehunde... a regular bun, a brezel ****... and a level with mustard on a b...
While eateries with edifices consisting of converted train cars are not a unique idea (There was a similar hot dog place in Passaic a few years ago; the caboose still stands at its location at River Road next to the Gregory Avenue bridge, but it's now a used car dealership), Hot Dog Caboose has its own unique charm. It is foremost, a standout structure in the area, an actual caboose car being located within the site of the former Wortendyke Train Station in Midland Park, thus making it quite apropos for its site. It is an extremely popular eatery in the area, with lots of locals, bus and truck drivers, and even people from miles away stopping by for a bite. And why not? Firstly, the hot dogs...
Came for the unusual atmosphere of enjoying a hotdog from an old PRR Caboose and was not disappointed. The Sabrett dogs are so good, love the snap as you bite into one. My husband and I got our typical order to try. Saurkraut and mustard a top a delicious bun soft and tender. He also got a Texas Frito dog which was chili, onions and crushed Fritos corn chips tasted exactly like what we thought. The day was brisk and our hotdogs were satisfying although it would have been nice to have them hotter, the weather cooled them off too quickly. We will try again another day. Yes, it was good and priced well. The drinks selection was terrific too. I got a Boylan Birch beer, yum!
The owner takes care of her small hot dog place and it shows what she serves. I love these reviews ' I like roasted hot dogs ' and there are limited seats after a snowstorm. They served boiled hot dogs if you prefer fried do not go here and do not check She has her dissatisfied hot dogs and she only has outdoor seats. What would you expect to do after a snowstorm? The combinations of hot dogs are extensive and inventive. The dogs are always the best quality and the rolls are super fresh. Try Friito dog and Chicago dog so taste! And leave this great entrepreneur a Positve review because it deserves it!
