The burger and fries were good a little lacking on the chili on the burger and hot dog. My wife said the hotdog had no snap you had to knaw through the casing. I would not recommend the mac n cheese, not much flavor and the cheese was clumpy. The vanilla milkshake was good and price was acceptable.

Stopped for a snack on a blustery day in June. Many choices, a perfect hot dog w/ a topping of baked beans. A delightful pulled pork sandwich and lovely homemade fries. Unfortunately the tuna sandwich on a hotdog roll was impossible to pick up. The bread was flattened by very fresh, lovely ingredients, crisp lettuce, vibrant tomato large portion of albacore tuna salad (with onion). No way to pick up and eat and one would have to go back to the counter to ask for utensils. A gentler hand in creating this sandwich would be appreciated. A slight mix up in drink sizes was easy to rectify. Note...RR = porta-potty

3.5 rounded up.
The vibe here is cute, fun, and very chill. Definitely has the old school carnival food trailer vibe. And it totally works
The food here is decent but basic.
I got a hot dog with mustard and relish. The hot dogs are extra long and the buns are soft and fluffy. But these aren't like, 'fresh from a bonfire' type of dogs. They're still pink with no grill marks so clearly they aren't held over a fire.
The fries were fluffy and delicious. But I got cheese fries and it was just the artificial/fake 'nacho' cheese you get at the movie theater or at a concession stand. Thankfully the cheese comes separate so I just tossed the big container and ate the fries alone. A much better choice!
I got a soft serve vanilla cone afterwards and it was really tasty. I expected it to be bland but it really was quite a treat. (Go for the kids size if you're fairly full. They're large servings, imo)
There are four picnic tables under a big tent which was perfect to spend time outside while also not getting scorched from the sun. It also protected us from a rain storm that blew in unannounced.
This place is cute. The aesthetic is fun and is a 'novelty' type place for me. I enjoyed my visit may decide to come back if I get a big craving for hotdogs.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - 7135027May 22, 2022
This is a roadside hot dog place, so don't expect fine dining. But the prices were reasonable, the food was tasty and they had gluten-free hamburger and hot dog buns!! I got a chili cheese dog (definitely American cheese) and a chocolate milkshake.

Easily the best hot dogs not only in Massachusetts but in the USA. The long dogs snap so nicely and are seasoned beautifully in the New England bun. They have a ton of great toppings and specialty dogs. My go to is the chili cheese dog. It's amazing. Plain with mustard and relish is also delicious. Prices are still reasonable and the portions are huge. I always stop by here when going up or down 91 in this area.

We stopped at Tom's today just off Rte 91 in Whately Mass. on rte 5 . This was our first time here from a drive by the Mohawk trail . I ordered a chili dog $3.75 , and my wife ordered a chili burger . The friendly order taker asked if she wanted anything on it , said yes and and it came with onion, lettuce tomato slice and pickle all for $12.04 including tax . Chili on the dog was tasty and both sandwiches were a little sloppy while eating them . They arrived quickly in wax paper and in a bag . Several picnic tables under tents . There was a large menu from chicken sandwiches, burgers, with several variations , chili and 12 inch subs . Reasonable prices quality of food was good, though I thought the hotdog a little bland but I believe the chili had a hand in it . A spartan roadside stand , good prices and a continuous line of customers for midweek , midday . We plan to stop again in the future the next time we swing by and try something else!

Ever order a chili dog, and when you open the wrapper wonder where the chili is? This happened to me a couple of days ago - ordered a chili dog with cheese, expecting it to be tasty, at the very least. The hot dog was topped with melted cheese, most of which was stuck to the wrapper paper --- where was the chili? It was UNDER the hot dog, and to be truthful - it looked more like someone had wiped the chili spoon on the bun than actually spooned chili onto it. WHERE IS THE CHILI??? On their board there was a sign for a mac & cheese chili dog - I'm glad I didn't order that because if the chili was so skimpy on a chili dog- I'd hate to think of how little mac & cheese there could have been.
The fries were great, the drink was a drink - but the (walked by the pot of chili) dog was a major disappointment. LOOK ELSEWHERE!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
