This down-to-earth eatery is dedicated to exactly what the name promises: hot dogs and burgers. This place has a dizzying variety of hot dogs and burgers, and all of them looked so good that it was hard to decide what to order. We eventually ordered...the Polish hot dog and mushroom/swiss burger to share, but will definitely be back to try other things from the menu. The restaurant has an upscale-brewery sort of feel, but that adds to the charm and fun vibes.More

We stopped here on the way to Danbury from the airport on January 11 2020. I ordered the BLT dog and my fiancé ordered the house dog. My BLT hot dog was delicious and tasty. I will be back next time i'm in town. I...would definitely eat here again.More

Nothing at all fancy here, but the layout and decor are really interesting while also being comfortable. We ordered a couple dogs, and they were large and tasty They were served on big, substantial rolls, which was a good thing because you need a sturdy...vessel for the dog and the toppings. I went with the chili cheese dog, and the sauce was terrific. My wife had the BLT dog, and had nothing but good to say about it. The Cajun fries were really, really good. The Salty Balls, salt-brined baby potatoes, were underwhelming. Maybe I should have ordered one of the upgraded versions. I'll be back to see what they do with a burger. You order at the counter and carry your food to the table.More

If you want a great hot dog fresh tasty and soon good this is the place! You can get a standard mustard,ketchup, relish,onions with it without issue or chili or you can go full blown for one of the more interesting combinations. Whatever you choose...it will be great and fillimg! I usually get the classic with mustard brown, onions ketchup , and if our and I am a happy camper still trying to try the burgers but just can't get beyond the dog!! The place is spotless and the staff is really nice, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes but don't get testy ( it's just a few minutes) and we'll worth it there are good amount of tables and when the weather is nice there are tables outside Check it out and tell me if you don't agreeMore

Pull up this restaurant on-line, we needed a Buick place to get a bite before the baseball game. The Decord was simple. They have a counter with stool looking out a large window,it's great. We had a New Britain dog, hot dog meat sauce ,onions...and mustard. We also had French fries and a patty melt. Everything was very good. The people were friendly and helpful. They have Avery soda,along with coke products to drink. Nice find in the city of New Britain.More

Very little parking and in some instances you might have to pay for parking. The inside is just like being in Ireland. Very appealing and quaint. Very diverse menu and everything looks delicious. I ordered the chili dog with chili, mustard and onions and all...I could taste was the bread which is almost like a grinder role. Too much bread and their chili is a bit to spicy for my taste. The chili just has a spicy taste and not a chili taste. Would I go back....not sure, but perhaps to try their hamburgers which a friend said was very good. You order up at the counter and you when you give your order it all comes on one tray so you have to ask for plates.More

Hidden on a small side street, but if it is a burger, hot dog type of day for you it is worth finding this place in the heart of New Britain. You can make your hot dog or burger any way that sounds good to...you. They give you a lot of choices on the menu that should satisfy almost anyone. They also have a great variety of sides from mac and cheese to salty balls. It will take you several trips back to Riley's to even come close to trying all of the different things they have. Adults love it and the kids will also. Give it a try and I am sure you will be back. Enjoy!More

Riley’s serves great freshly made sandwiches, hot dogs, and burgers. But, the Salty Balls are delicious. They are a signature dish at Riley’s. You have to go and try them for yourself!

OMG these hot dogs are awesome!! Martin Rosols of course, and they are nice size so you really could eat one and be satisfied if you have a regular appetite and if you like to eat go for 2 or more. The place is really...clean and outside there is a small patio with tables and umbrellas so you can either day i n or out of get it to go The food is Very reasonably priced and everyone is really nice The only down side is parking can be tricky because the lot is small and you may have to search for parking across the street or drive around till you can find something, but IS worth itMore

A cut above all those fast food dogs and burgers! I had a Chili Cheese Dog with mustard. Fantastic bun, not a wimpy hot dog but a good plump dog. Classic American Burger was cooked great, kinda reminded me of 5 Guys burger and really...good hand cut fries. Two complaints: (1) only bottle soda, I prefer a fountain drink with that type of food. (2) utensils were cheap plastic ones. Definitely would eat there again because of all the different types of dogs and burgers to try.More
