    *This is place is CASH ONLY * I did not know this until after I finished eating the day special. Amazing hot dogs. For sure will be coming back. Met Jim great guy, didn’t have cash to pay at the time. Jim was so cool to let me come by the following day to repay him since the ATM around the corner was out of service. The place could use some cleaning. The tables dirty and so was the floor. I didn’t mind it much other than that it was amazing. Good food. Went again for a second time. Had give them two starts instead of four. Only one guy working he handles the cooking and the register. Yet he does not wear any gloves. The establishment was still dirty. Don’t get me wrong those hot dogs taste good but imagine the oil they fried them in. Do they change it. Wish they had extra help and a more clean environment.

    Best Dogs and other foods around. Local family place been around for YEARS. Staff is great Dad And Son owners. Son's now there more these days, always pleasant and cordial. So grateful to Mom&Pops places. Warmer atmosphere.

    This is the type of hot dog place that needs to stay in business. Deep fried dogs for that perfect taste, with all the onions and mustard you need. My dad is a big hot dog lover, from Coney Island dogs in Detroit to the great selection of places in Warren County; he puts Nick's near the top of his list. The ambiance is perfect, and there is that fantastic "hole in the wall" oil smell that I adore. Some people have complained to me that the prices are too high, but you get quality hot dogs. Go get your dollar dogs elsewhere, but they won't be as good.

    My favorite hot dog place in NJ. I had to fast for bloodwork and Jolly Nicks was what I wanted when I could eat again! I highly recommend this place

    Really good fried dogs with Chilli on it, prompt and friendly service too, get your dogs, burgers, fries, chicken and cheese steak sandwiches in here and, can't go wrong with a stewart's drink either.

    Jolly Nick’s is a Dumont staple and a great stop for your favorite fried cravings. They attract the younger crowd during the lunch rush and are very kind to them when they come in. Fantastic prices check it out.

    One of the best jersey dogs, you don't find these deep fried hot dogs outside of Jersey. These guys use a natural casing thummans dog. It's a perfect size. Big enough for a big guy to double down on and small enough for the kids and little eaters to fill up on one. They use the old style color coded ordering system but don't worry there's no problem just telling them exactly how you want yours. These guys used to be in Westwood many many years ago. So yes, if you recognize the name that's why. Single proprietor. Owner operated. Dad helps out for the lunch time when they are packed with the local students from nearby schools. I order ahead anytime between 11 and 1. Great chili and Dr. Browns in the fridge. Great prices. Also have burgers, chicken and fish. Chili cheese fries. I guarantee,if you try it you will return for these great jersey delicacys. Go now. LoL

    Long live Jolly Nick’s! I grew up eating here often and I have such fond memories of the place. Often times I was short on cash but they never let us go hungry and we always made sure to pay back our tabs! All these years later and that selflessness and consideration is still very much appreciated. Thank you so much. We had so many good times. I still haven’t had a better chili dog anywhere else. See you soon guys!

    This place is like a hidden gem! Simple food: hot dogs/burgers/fries but wow is it good! The prices are cheap and you get a much better meal than going to a fast food place. Highly recommended.

    Amazing hot dogs! A great place. Very reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 cafe S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good dogs for a great price. Nick is lovable, huggable, and most of all jolly. Most of the food was goated or at least high key noted, especially when considering the prices. Would 100% go there again

    Delicious! Parking is on street. You could try and park in back but it's small and many signs of having your car towed. Very old establishment, and small. One worker, whom was very pleasant and happy person. He did everything cook, clean, register all while being very nice. Loved the food.

    Low-key deep fried hot dog place. Really friendly owner. The Franks were good.

  • 5/5 Hotdog M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best hot dogs around! Had a kraut mustard, chilli cheese, and a peppers and onions. All great. Onion rings were great too.

    Excellent long time dog shack. Using the great Thumann’s brand. Deep fried to perfection. Great toppings, chili and cheese is delicious.
