Tommy's Italian Sausage & Hot Dogs

This was the best Italian Sausage I've had in my life, I'll definitely being going back there this weekend. To the Owners: I made a FB telling everyone how good your food is so you will definitely be getting alot of new customers🥰

BEST hot dogs, my friend first took me here years ago. He moved up to Washington NJ, this is still at the top of his list for hot dogs. Guys are real friendly too. If you want good hot dogs THIS is the place 100%

This is something you need to know. A hot dog/sausage combo is under $10 and it's 100% worth every penny. Another thing you need to know, the sandwich comes with a lot of the potatoes in the wrapper so if you aren't CRAZY hungry, don't order more potatoes. I ordered more potatoes. They were too good to stop eating and I was full for days.

The owner was very friendly and was short staffed the day we went so he cooked up some of these potatoes for us to try and dropped a plate for free out of the window. This guaranteed that we were ordering more, smart move. This sandwich is gigantic. A half of this sandwich is enough for any normal person to be more than full. Easily two meals for around $10.

Second stop on our trip from VA to Newark for hockey game on Saturday.
Another old-school place that has been on my goal list for a long time.
The place is in a very urban area, tough to find street parking, I would suggest the public parking lot at the SE corner at intersection of Elizabeth Ave. & S.Reid St.
It is really just a window service place, not a restaurant of any kind.
But that is not a knock, it is the vintage charm that makes it a great place to try.
In addition, the Italian style hot dogs in pizza bread, are fantastic.
The sandwich is really sort of stuffed pizza bread pita, as seen in photo.
Order with everything, meaning onions , peppers & potatoes.
The amount of potatoes included in the sandwich is over-whelming.
I wouldn’t order a separate cup of potatoes. It’s just too much food!

It can be messy, take or bring plenty of napkins.
Another suggestion- bring your own paper plates and plastic cutlery! The sandwich is wrapped in foil and the only utensil is a little wooden fork-spear, like the ones at Nathan’s.
But the potato slices at Tommy’s are so huge, the wood fork-spear can’t handle the weight.
All that said the sandwich is awesome, great grilled hot dogs and all the toppings provide nice depth of flavors.

A must visit, if your hungry, don’t go for just a snack, it’s a great meal!
