  If you remember Stewart's Rootbeer stand. These guys kept it as is in Denville. Family run and have always treated me very kindly.
  
  The menu is like it was with some minor changes but served in a timely manner.  They have a very good selection of icecream. So if hot dogs or cheese steaks are not on the palate. Give the Denville Dairy some competition. Consider giving The DD some of your business.
  
  You have outside besides inside seating. Anything you want that can traditionally go on the dog it's there. Plus Stewart's Root beer besides its other flavors are available besides other sodas and drinks. Great for the summer and thru spring and fall

  A dog with relish and onions, or with chili and cheese? Both were fine at about $3 each, the chili had a solid chile-powder heat, definite kick to it. Fries and onion rings for another $3 each were super hot and good. Fast and friendly service but the orange formica booths don't encourage you to linger. Unfortunately a wafer cone was stale and the chocolate dip for the soft serve had not aged well so the food was better than the ice cream. Plenty of parking, next time I get the reuben, it's a solid non-chain choice for simple cheap food, I just wish they sold beer.

  If I could give a negative 5 I would. Walking in a very nice young man held the door open for me. As I walked in the Owner screamed at him for doing that as it takes 20 min to get the cold air back. He was so mad he grabbed his hair and walked away after that. Shame on you for treating ur employee like that and in front of guests. You should have been thankful that he has manners and be happy u employ such a young man.
  Seriously never going back. Sooooo turned off by him.

  I've been here a couple times for lunch and I wish I could give a higher rating since it's a cute eatery that evokes a nostalgia of those good old days of simple pleasures...when a milkshake and hot dog at a booth or umbrella table with family and friends was a cure for a bad day or just a time to be happy and carefree.  The folks at the counter seemed authentic, no-nonsense but a little too close to taciturn as opposed to tactful. I chalk it up to rough edges around probable good hearts. The hot dogs...not plump and juicy as I'd hoped and a little wrinkly. Plus, I didn't see any spicy brown mustard out at the condiment stand (that may have to be requested, so I won't factor that into my review). I like the idea of the crinkle cut fries, but curly fries would be neat as an option, too. I haven't tried their ice cream or any other frozen treats yet so I can see an updated review in the future.  The ice cream freezer isn't in the best area; it's off to the right as you walk in, so you will likely contend with a line of families with small children trying to solve pressing issues as to flavors and sizes and such. It would have made more sense to have the ice cream displayed toward the front so that you are facing it as you walk in. It's just a little awkward and adds some unnecessary mayhem to the wait if it's busy. I am going to visit again, order something else, and get a milkshake and see how it goes. It's a very convenient eatery that is community-minded, with satisfactory menu options. I just believe though, that if hot dogs are one of your staple food items, they should be of the best quality. The hot dogs here are a little too close to the ones you can get at a school or hospital cafeteria in terms of freshness. Not too bad on flavor, but who wants to pay for a dog that looks like it's seen better days?

  Great dog (I had the denville dog) and loved the krinkle fries.
  Friendly service and clean dining area. Plenty of tables inside and out.
