Manny's Texas Weiner

Texas Weiners, a regional hot dog variant that has nothing to do with Texas. It's basically a chili dog with mustard and onions. It's good, and if you come you should have the dogs.  However, as far as regional hot dog variants, I'm not totally impressed.

Chicago Dogs? Love Chicago Dogs.

Italian Dogs? Love 'em. I seriously think a North Jersey Italian Dog is the East Coast's version of the San Francisco Burrito.

Texas Weiners? Not so much, it's just a chili dog with extra stuff. But, it is good here.

They have a big menu, their burgers are OK, breakfasts are good for their price, about a buck or two less for an equivalent at a diner.

Not bad, just not something I'll go out of the way for.

Being a Texan I had to stop in at Manny's Texas Weiner because - well because Texas is not really the weiner capital that this name implies...

Four of us ate here 3 days in a row - parking is tough and the place is small as can be.  In fact I think the menu is larger than the restaurant.

We had standard NJ diner type food - (none of it healthy).  From Burgers, to Paninni (sp?) to Reuben.  The food was solid but fries were a let down as it is frozen krinkle cut fries so I opted for the Onion Ring upgrade which was well worth it.

Would I go here again - yes if I am in the area.  However I was really wanting one of the mile high pies that NJ Diners are famous for but alas they do not have them - which with the bad nutrition I enjoyed there.....was probably a good thing.

Hot dogs and chili always consistently very good. Love that their chili is Cincinnati style. Even though I never eat in and only go for quick chili dogs, the place offers a big diner style menu with table and booth service. Since it's always full with people, you would have to assume their other offerings are good. Plus the service is always fast and friendly.
