Check this place out after a football tournament.Based on reviews on google. My daughter said that the steaky cheese was really good.I had the italian hot dog which would have been great if the hot dogs were a little bit thicker.There was a lot of bread and not enough meat, so it just seemed like you weren't eating a lot.But the flavor of the hot dog was amazing. All third meals do come with home.Fried potatoes which are pretty good

I been coming him for over 40 years and yes can you believe that is how long they been here. A staple in Elizabeth. Nothing like their potato cups freshed sliced and done so right. Hot dogs are perfect eith that crunch. They are hot water dog type. No credit cards only cash and no place really to sut and eat but worth the stop.

We took a drive to Elizabeth, NJ, to try Tommy’s Italian Sausage and Hotdogs. According to their sign, they were voted the best in 2018, so we had to see what the hype was about. It turned out to be a unique twist on a classic favorite. I ordered a hotdog and a sausage, both served with sliced potatoes in pita bread—definitely not something I’d had before. The combination was delicious and very different from the usual fare. At first glance, I wondered how in the world I was supposed to eat something that size, and sure enough, I couldn’t finish it! If you plan on visiting, don’t expect indoor seating—this is a walk-up window spot where you order and get your food quickly. We ate in our car, but on a nice spring day, you could grab a bench across the street. Since we live too far away to take it home, eating on the spot was our best option. Would I go again? Yes, the drive wasn’t bad, and the food was worth it. The only downside was the parking—it was a bit of a nightmare, though that may have been due to the time of day (evening, when everyone was home from work). Overall, a fun and tasty experience!

At first glance, one might merely shrug this place off as "Oh, just another hot dog stand". However, it takes more than just a nice looking front to make a great hot dog establishment. And this where Tommy's excels. The hot dogs and sausages are top quality, the chili quite palatable, and the cup of potatoes is a satisfying compliment to your sandwich. The prices are very reasonable as well, and the service is very attentive and accommodating. There is only one drawback, and that one is a common occurrence with stands of this kind. There is almost no place to eat your food here, unless you want to sidle up to a narrow ledge and have a standing meal, or go across the street to Olympia Square and sit down on a narrow cement block. The quality of it all is worth it though.

The Best Hot Dog in NJ? You can make that argument. It was a good experience once I finally arrived. The parking is a real pain , but that was to be expected. Heard so much about this place over the years, not sure it met such high expectations. The Italian Hot Dog was really hard to eat. More potatoes than Hot Dog so it was difficult to judge the hot dog itself. It was good, not sure I would go out of my way again, but you cant have that kind of success if you don't know what you are doing. Worth trying.
