Lenny’s Hot Dogs

I just finished eating my two hotdogs hotdogs from Lenny’s and I am a satisfied customer. I have been driving by this place for about six months now, it kind of has a look like it’s the kind of place that I’m ‘supposed to know about’ maybe it’s just that it’s 2015 and they are still in business and are pretty much exclusively dedicated the hotdogs. Nowadays it’s all about places like Chipotle and any other pseudo-​healthy nouveau fast food. Anyway… When I went in there was certainly no surprises it was just a small humble establishment that looks like it had not been updated in a long time but was clean and pretty much orderly. Of course the main concern here is the food not the ambience. The hotdogs were excellent though I must say the bun to dog ratio was a bit high for my liking. I really like the hot dogs that are small and have a modest Bön to go along with them, kind of like what you would find at a baseball game. All I can really say is if the bun was 25% smaller this would be a five star hotdog. As far as the accoutrement goes there was everything you could possibly expect to go on a hotdog available, but there is certainly nothing weird Lenny’s is indeed authentic.

For those of us seeking nostalgia from the Lenny’s we grew up with we will find it here, but not much else. The place is very small with little to no seating. It doesn’t appear to be very clean and there was no air conditioning on the day we were there. I took my fish cake and my niece took her hot dog into the car where we ate. I was glad to taste the past but I don’t think I’ll be returning.

I ate at Lennys back in August. To tell you the truth I was not impressed. The establishment was not up to par with cleanliness. Both hotdogs I ate were over cooked and the roll was stale. But I will give them 3 stars because it was edible and did the job!

Years ago went to the Lenny’s in Mt Airy. The Fishcakes, Pepperhash is exactly the same here!
Wayne, the owner, is a great guy — and always willing to please his customers. Nice little neighborhood place to grab a quick bite (great Champ’s Cherry Soda, too) chat with Wayne.
If you remember Lenny’s from NE or Mt Airy, you’ll enjoy grabbing a bite to eat here, too!

Just love this place. Great dogs.

Been going here for years. I always get Hot Dog Fish Cake combo with kraut and onions. It’s the best

I remember Lenny’s on Castor avenue. Great hot dogs, hot delicious I would bug my mother every day to eat them.
Lenny’s, Feasterville same delicious hot dog. I can agree with the other posts who did not like them so let me offer you some assistance when ordering as there are 2 different cooking styles for their hot dogs.
1. Make sure you order the boiled hot dog vs. the grilled hot dog.
(my and my children’s opinion these hot dogs are not tasty when grilled)
2. Order onion, spicy mustard, hash on the boiled dog with a champs cherry and you
will find some flavor!

the wife and i like hot dogs but we have tasted way better than this. all that cold pepper hash made the hot dog wet and soggy and the hot dog itself was not all that good. but hey stop by and try one my not like maybe your like .i guess if you grew up with them as kids you would like them as for me i like mine.

Lenny’s is another Philadelphia classic. There are few Philly Dads who won’t remember the old Castor Avenue location fondly. The not-​so-​successful rebirth of the business in Feasterville, just about a mile north of the Northeast, certainly won’t recreate the old Lenny’s environment for any of them, but the hot dogs and fish cakes still follow the same recipe, and Philly old timers pop in and out of the place all week long, many of them wanting nothing more than to reminisce about their Castor Avenue childhoods.
The secret is in the toppings. Whatever you order, order it with «the works,» including plenty of brown mustard and chunky pepper hash — a concoction few of my generation know anything about. Everything in the small hot dog joint, which can only seat maybe six people at a time — every ingredient there is heartburn city, even for people who have trained on cheesesteaks and buffalo wings. But I actually enjoy the burning sensation from time to time.
Also, Lenny’s carries a great selection of locally bottled soda’s like Champ Cherry, which, again, is one of those sodas that, according to my father, is leagues above those ‘modern’ drinks.
