About Us
Welcome to Tommy's Hot Dogs in Carteret, NJ!
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. We moved to Carteret, NJ in 1967 and in 1985, we transformed our family garage into the iconic hot dog haven you know and love today.
As a veteran-owned business, we take pride in crafting hot dogs that feel like home. Everything is made right in front of you using the highest quality ingredients. Our homemade chili, a generations-old recipe from Jimmy’s mom, adds that extra touch of love to each bite.
What inspired us to start this journey? A simple hot dog stand caught Tommy’s eye while he was working at a paper company, and the rest is history. Our passion for delicious hot dogs, community, and tradition continues to drive us every day.
Join us at Tommy’s Hot Dogs, where the past meets the present, and every bite is a taste of our heartfelt story.
