“ The best hot dogs in NY! The chef gave us a free hot dog on the house it was outstanding. Easily the best hot dogs I’ve ever had. Must try!!! ”
“ Holydog in Middletown NY is a no frills, very small place with really GREAT food. You'll always find Chino the owner cooking, being very friendly and entertaining. Picture is a mustard & kraut dog and the Chino dog (suggested by Chino). A really delicious hot dog wapped in fried cheese and other spices. ”
“ We have eaten here many times and love it so much! The ingredients are super fresh, the flavors and combinations are expertly put together, and the owner is a true showman who clearly loves the food and sharing it with the community. The danish dog is my favorite, and my husband loves the Italian sausage with onions. Even the basic chili dog is better than average, and his inventive sauces add so much flavor to the dogs that they can’t be replicated anywhere else. The building is small and it’s crowded and dingy and sometimes smoky inside, but we truly feel that it adds to the charm and makes the experience even more unique. Just go - you’ll be so glad you did! ”
“ Oh my goodness, the hotdogs were exactly what I would expect to find in New York. Made to order so every order is fresh so there is a little bit of a wait but so worth it. Great service and quick to take a order. Thanks for the dogs!!! There is a fee w seats outside, but that is to be expected in a small location. ”
“ This place is so cute and you get exactly what you ask for. Hot dogs are great and service is great. Cash only tho (they have an atm inside if you don’t have any)!! ”
“ Had the best hotdogs here! My husband and I ordered almost every one except the special and the owner gave us it to try. That was our favorite! Would highly recommend for a quick bite. ”
“ Holy Dog is the best hot dog joint in NY state, bar none. All of the dogs are made to order and the eclectic ingredients each shine through. My favorite is the Chilean dog, with the South Western dog a close second. And the slider just might be the best hamburger patty that I have ever had. I have known Chino for more than 25 years, since he owned the best Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn. His enthusiastic, kind and humorous personality hasn’t changed in all of these years. If you are within a 50 mile radius of this place, you really need to try these dogs. And bring your appetite, you will not be disappointed. ”
“ What a gem of a place. Chino is the man, and the food is excellent. Cash only, but they have an ATM in-store for you. I'll definitely be back to try more of their offering. ”
