This was my first visit to the Keansburg boardwalk landmark since it was reopened after superstorm Sandy. The establishment has been in business since 1934 and has seen the boardwalk transform many times. The above picture faces the street and invites patrons in with the promise of cold beer, good times and, of course, hot dogs! The opposite side of the building (facing the boardwalk) has a convenient walk-up window where passersby can order delicious dogs with their favorite toppings.
They serve all beef, natural casing dogs with a variety of condiments. I opted to order one "all the way" (with brown mustard, chopped onions and chili) and another with mustard & kraut. They had a nice snap to them and were very tasty! The chili had a nice, thick texture that complimented the dog. Unlike the soggy kraut you find at many hot dog wagons, this kraut was crisp and flavorful. The buns were sturdy, not the limp sort that gets soggy & falls apart under the pressure of heaping condiments. Overall I can say that this restaurant has retained its original glory and will certainly be on my list of repeat destinations.
