Dave's Hot Dogs, South Amboy


      Dave's is a quaint, luncheonette style hot dog joint that has served South Amboy for just under a decade (as of this writing).  The staff is super friendly and the service is quick.  Most hot dog varieties are between $2 - $3 with a few double dog options priced at $6.  Among these is an Italian hot dog which will definitely be on my order the next time I stop by!

     They use Sabrett #11 hot dogs that are steamed (dirty water style).  I saw they offered a Carolina Slaw dog which was calling my name.  Surprisingly I had never tried a slaw dog before so I wasn't sure what to expect.  Now, I'm the type of guy who prefers a large, rough cut cole slaw when served as a side dish.  When I saw the finely chopped slaw (pictured below) I was a little skeptical.  Boy was I wrong!!  The finely chopped texture, similar to a good chili, clung to the hot dog & bun so I could enjoy the flavor mixture with every bite.  As full as I was, I ordered a second dog to enjoy all over again!!

     In addition to their delicious dogs, Dave's offers a variety of burger choices as well as a cheese steak, chicken fingers, tacos, pork roll, chili, nachos, onion rings and of course, a variety of fries.  This stop has something for everyone so bring along the family!  They close early on weekends so check their schedule before making the trip.  You won't be disappointed!
