Sullivan’s, Castle Island, MA

Already open for the season, Sullivan’s hot dogs and chili-dogs with cheese are big-time favorites of locals. A visit to Castle Island—and a Sullivan’s hot dog—is something everyone who lives in or visits Massachusetts must enjoy at least once in their lifetime.

Nick’s Hot Dogs, Fall River, MA

Owned and operated by purveyors of the original Coney Island-style hot dogs, Nick’s Hot Dogs has a huge following in this part of Massachusetts. Chopped onions and mustard are among the more popular toppings for hot dogs here, and the owners claim two hot dogs denote an actual meal. Anything else is just child’s play.

Known by locals as the best place for hot dogs and French fries—as well as other sandwiches and sides—Tex Barry’s is famous for dressing their dogs in the authentic Coney Island manner. They serve plain hot dogs, too, and those replete with your chosen toppings.

Featuring counter service for a variety of hot dog options, Boston Hot Dog Company is the kind of place where patrons grab their hot dogs and go. Try their Reuben Dog for a delicious take on tradition.

Simple is sometimes better and that’s why Teo’s Hot Dogs does one thing and does it well. They’re a favorite with the lunch, fast supper, and last call diners and snackers.

Elliot’s Famous Hot Dogs, Lowell, MA
