For decades, we’ve been serving up the finest hot dogs in town with a side of nostalgia and a dash of family history. Our legacy began in 1962 when Jimmy’s dad, Tommy, hit the streets on his scooter, selling hot dogs to the hungry folks of the neighborhood.

The hubby and I tried Tommy’s in Carteret this afternoon. Homemade chili, no beans. Nice, smooth bit of heat. It was good. I believe they are using a Sabrett hot dog. The onion rings were EXCELLENT! Everything was fresh and very tasty. This family has been selling hot dogs in the Carteret and Rahway area since the very early 1960’s. Jimmy who is the son of the original owner, Tommy was very friendly. He couldn’t have been happier to explain his menu offerings to us, and partake in some friendly conversation. Four hot dogs with two toppings on each, an order of onion rings, and a Diet Coke was $19. There are a couple of outdoor tables to sit at, or a no frills trailer to sit in. It’s not a fancy place, but we weren’t there for fancy. We were there for some good dawgs, and we got them. We will definitely be back for more, and to try the freshly made burgers and cheesesteaks.

Tommy’s has been there for over 60yrs and you can tell why. A slice of good old Americana . Excellent dogs and toppings, great friendly service in an old school atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

I literally grew up on their food. I absolutely love this family and absolutely love their food. I have not had it in years since moving to Florida and wish it could get shipped. Till this day, I have never had a chili cheese hotdog as good as theirs and frankly all of their food I have tried. My parents would bring us here at least after every church service and more if we could con them into it I don’t know if y’all remember me. I am the youngest daughter of the Matos family. I saw a video with someone with a chili cheese dogs and I instantly thought of this place and looked it up to see if y’all were still open and it brought tears to my eyes to see that they never let go of this gem. I can’t recommend this place more. There aren’t enough stars to give to this wonderful family and their amazing food.

Unique place but well worth it. 2x chili cheese dogs and cheese fries with a root beer to wash them down. Excellent food. Chili was unbelievably good; i’d go back just for the chili. I plan on making some more stops and trying different things.

Amazing food and top-notch service! I had a fantastic experience at Tommy’s Hotdog. The food was absolutely delicious — I ordered the Philly cheesesteak and cheese fries and my Husband had Italian hotdog it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The owner was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

A co worker and I stopped in here today for the first time and loved everything. The food, the history and the service were all top notch. This place will definitely be my go to lunch spot in Carteret going forwards.

Tried it today first time since I moved to Carteret. Food was great and the owner was so nice. He prepared the food while telling the story and history of this town and his hot dog stand. Honestly this was the best food experience I had in Carteret, would definitely visit again whenever I get a chance. Tommy you rock

Found this place on Yelp while hungry and looking for food before doing an Open House in Carteret. On a Saturday when I went there was an older gentleman doing a one man show. Taking orders, cooking the food and serving the customers. Don’t remember his name but he was very good and had a great sense of humor! I had 2 chili dogs and a cheese steak that were delicious! I will be back and highly recommend a visit if you’re looking for reasonable comfort food. Not a fine dining spot, but there’s plenty of them for your special date!
