Favorite Hot Dog Stand in New England?
(From Our Questions and Answers Feature)
What do you consider to be the best hot dog stand in New England? Are there any favorites that you go back to as often as possible? Two of my favorites are Al's Hot Dog Stand in Naugatuck, CT, and Simco's in Mattapan. I also like George's Coney Island in Worcester, but they don't have outdoor dining (unless you sit on the curb out front).

Definitely Fred's Franks in Wakefield off of Rt. 128! This place is quite literally a stand but their hot dogs are AMAZING! And you get to choose from a bunch of delicious sauces that go with it. With or without the sauces, however, it's a hit. Try it if you haven't already.

I haven't been to many, but I'd be surprised if anything comes close to Speed's Dogs in Newmarket Square, Boston.

Fred's Frank's is hands down the best! From the screwed up system of ordering, paying and getting your roll to the sadness when you realize you've come to the last bite... The whole experience is a 10...

The Glenwood in Hamden, CT. Flame-broiled Hummel's dogs made in New Haven. Great onion rings. A truly unique ordering system that adds to the overall experience.

Another vote for Fred's. They're at the intersection of 128 and 129, on the traffic circle, right at the head of Lake Quannapowitt. They cook the dogs over apple wood. I think that's what makes the difference.

I'm not a connoisseur, but I have to mention that the Suffolk Downs horse track supplied the tastiest hot dog I've ever eaten.

I would have to say Speed's I the best. That guy uses Pear brand Hotdogs.And the way the dogs are cooked, mmm good. Sullivan's on Castle Island is another good place cause they use Kayem Hotdogs.

There is a little famous hot dog stand in Andover Center, Andover, MA. It's called "Brian's Father's Hot Dogs." His sausages, onions and peppers are to die for. The hot dogs are good too. He's there most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for the past 9 or 10 years. Ask him about the movies he's been in.
