Hot Dog Caboose

I love everything about this place. The scenery, the setting, and of course the hot dogs. First off, you’re getting served out of a red caboose. That alone should be enough to make you come out. Nothing better than sitting by old train tracks enjoying a glizzy. I highly recommend the Spuds Dog or Junkyard Dog. The people behind the counter are always so nice, and this place is extremely reasonably priced. To be honest, this is the best all around frankfurter experience I have ever had. If you’re craving a weenie, this is the spot to go. I’ll be frank; these wieners are the best in the game!

The coffee here was smooth it was a local NJ brand. This was the Jumbo dog with cheese and the Chicago pretzel dog. The veggie chili ordered fire was decently spicy. This is a unique little place I wish I knew about this place 10 years ago.

The hot dogs are awesome. Lots of parking. I recommend the Chicago dog and the Taco dog. Seating is outdoors. Cash and credit accepted

Stop #3 on our Summer Hot Dog Joint and Diner tour 2018...and a decent trip from our area, Hot Dog Caboose in Midland Park, NJ.

My son Jason REALLY wanted to go here (plus I love trains, lol), so we made the trip today. Very cool location in an actual caboose sitting on an abandoned siding along with an old passenger car at the old station (now an art gallery). It's also next to an active local freight line, didn't see a train tho :(

Decent sized menu, but this is about the dogs. Hot dogs are natural casing Sabretts cooked hot water style if I'm not mistaken. They have lots of topping options as well as regular or pretzel buns. I opted for two chili cheese dogs...one regular bun, one pretzel bun...and a plain with mustard on a pretzel bun. Jason had a plain dog on a pretzel bun (and some chicken bites). Really good stuff. Tasty chili, cheese sauce and snappy dog. Pretzel buns were toasted on the outside, soft on the inside. Really good texture.

I had an awesome Boylan Bottling diet root beer as well. Had a little spicy kick to it...

Jason ended his meal with a Sponge Bob ice cream bar.

Sitting area has 3 round wooden tables with umbrellas and is freight track adjacent, lol.

Definitely worth the trip. Check 'em out sometime.
