Burgers and Chicken at Spike's Junkyard Dogs in Somerville

Tonight we drove over to Spike's Junkyard Dogs in Davis Square, Somerville. I had wanted to get one or two of their famous hot dogs, but found out this morning that their hot dogs have a pretty loud snap to them; whether it's a natural casing or not, I am not into hot dogs that snap (in fact, many people I know have this issue, too!). To make a long story short, we ended up getting burgers and chicken sandwiches at Spike's tonight.

The Ranger burger at Spike's was very good. It had bacon, cheese, lettuce, and BBQ sauce. I also got the junkyard fries, which are loaded with chili and cheese. They were good, but I have had better at other places. The Caesar chicken was also very good. It came with lettuce, Caesar dressing, and cheese.

Spike's Junkyard Dogs is a fun, lively place, with bright lights and 50's-style decor. And it was packed; when we left, there was a line 20 deep. I liked Spike's, but I also realize that people go there for the hot dogs. Perhaps I'll bite the bullet (and the natural casing) and grab a dog there in the next few weeks.

For those looking for the address to Spike's Junkyard Dogs in Somerville, here it is: Spike's Junkyard Dogs, 217 Elm Street, Somerville, MA 02114. The phone number is (617) 440-1010.
