Dallas Hot Wieners is a nice find on my way to New York City. I randomly found it on Google Maps and I'm so happy to have dropped by. I really liked the old diner vibe. The service was very friendly and the prices are very affordable. The Dallas Hot Wieners secret sauce is so good and can go with anything. It's a little bit spicy, but you get used to it. Take note that they are cash only.

Texas Weiners
A nice burger and hot dog joint. Looked inviting. It was clean with ample windows and seating at the counter and booths. Ordered the chili dog. The wiener was boiled and chili topping made it uneventful. Service was great. I was hoping for so much more but, it was just okay.

It's a greasy diner. The hot dogs aren't good. I guess it's an experience of some sort. The guys who work there are very nice though.

This is my 3rd visit to a Dallas Hot Weiners. First was solo as I happened to pass location in Saugerties NY. As a self-proclaimed "Foodie", once I saw the steam table IN THE FRONT WINDOW with ONLY the weiner accoutrements, it was a clearly a sign that I needed to try this place! I ordered 2 of the Dallas Hot Weiners. I think $2.95 each? Love the price point! The server behind the old skool diner counter suggested that the meat sauce was the key and that I should try the shoestring fries with cheese and this sauce. I did and all of what I ate that day was EXCELLENT! The signature meat sauce (not a chili really) was thin but held together the finely ground beef that was suspended in the sauce. It all flowed over the DELICIOUS low-temp-seeped "Dirty Water Dog" which are unique because much like the traditional NYC version, the weiners sit in just-under-boiling water all day, not grilled/caramelized on a foil lined flattop! This traditional NYC method of heating evenly and thoroughly throughout the dog, is slowly disappearing (I understand this is a preferred method in OHIO though, but this is in NY). Unlike NYC these dogs are NOT super salty and are about 175% thicker and slightly shorter than the NYC counterpart. The dogs does not poke out of the bun :( The flavor of the weiner is perfect for my palate. Great mild garlic undertone, enough onion powder and much much lower on the salt. No black pepper or overly sharp seasoning in the recipe? It was more reminiscent of my favorite Germán style veal white sausage. REALLY GREAT! Now add that runny, Cincinnati/Greek style meat sauce (aka "Chili?") with its hints of cinnamon and nutmeg? Some finely minced white onion and muddy brown mustard...GREAT dog bite ever and completely unique to the UPSTATE community. This experience felt like this tradition street-food was somehow HOME-COOKED, but still a treat to experience out-of-my-home. If that makes any sense. No need to chase my NY Dog with Papaya to "Aid in Digestion" that is a requirement at my now 2nd favorite Gray's Papaya in the City because this version is OH SO gentle to my stomach and in fact made it feel SO VERY HAPPY! My 3 visits (solo, brought friends to grab & run, solo again this time) were great with my friends saying it was the best dog they have had in a while (3 people all said same and they are foodies too!). Def. try this place please! *NOTES: staff treated us like valued customers and as I expected is delightfully Family-owned...It shows! This has no association with DALLAS TX. and there are (3) locations in MID-STATE NYC. I tried the burger which was made using DINER-STYLE using a pre-formed patty as was the beef Gyro/Pita. BUT much like the GREEK-OWNED Diners of the region, prepared to perfection by the Greek cooks. I felt that these options maybe distracting from the star and maybe need not be on the menu. Feeling that the DALLAS HOT WEINER has the potential to be 3 item menu rarity, Dog their way, Chili-Cheese Fries + maybe a signature drink...I digress. LOVE IT!
