The Best Hot Dogs in Philly: Philadelphia has many options, so here are some suggestions for those who love hot dogs.
Fox & Son Fair Foods
Fox & Son Fair Foods is Philadelphia's best hot dog joint inside the Reading Terminal. While there, you can also sample other fair-inspired snacks, such as popcorn and ice cream. Here are some of our favorites.
The owners of this new hot dog stand, located inside Reading Terminal Market, are familiar with the food hall, having worked at the Valley Shepherd Creamery's stall for four years. The menu also offers a variety of other items, including specialty poutine and fried cheese curds. Guests can even enjoy a dressed-up funnel cake. The menu also offers gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Guests are encouraged to try the vegan corn dog, too.
A. P. J. Texas Weiner
If you're in the mood for a greasy, inexpensive lunch, A.P.J. Texas Weiner in Center City has the hot dogs to please you. You can choose from chili-con-carne, a derivative of the Mexican dish, or stick to the classic Texas-style hot dog. If you're traveling by yourself, this is an excellent choice. The service is prompt, and the staff is friendly. It's not a great place for a romantic lunch, but it's good enough to satisfy any appetite.
Johnny's Hots
When in Philadelphia, look no further than Johnny's Hots, a local stand that serves Franks and sausages. Try their combo meals, including the Philly fish cake and Franks. Or grab a frank and fish cake and a side of fries. There's something for everyone at Johnny's Hots. You can't go wrong with this stand, and it's worth a visit.
Initially located in Fishtown, Johnny's Hots has relocated to new digs in the city's heart. While the original location was a shack, the new site boasts a posh and sparkling new interior. While the grilled hot sausage is the highlight of any visit, the breakfast version is even better. It comes with fried eggs, green peppers, and sauteed onions. The hot dogs are the main attraction at Johnny's, and the buns are the perfect size and shape for a perfect hot dog.
