The Dogfather

Great hot dogs. My favorite chili dogs in the city. They have a lot of specialty dogs that I still have to try. Great location also. Our family stops by here at least 4 times a month. The only con is that the orders take a little time. But they are made to order. So the trade off is ok.

I love family owned businesses that just «get it». This guy has been around for a long time and he hustles like no other. His food trucks have a normal spot on Holden St but he’s at special events year-​round with a second truck. The food is consistently good and the prices are fair.
I like that he has created a number of specialty hot dogs named after references from the «Godfather» franchise. The Fredo is one of my favorites.
In short, it’s a good, quick meal or snack at a very reasonable price. And you get to support a local business!

Every time we go to MA, in the first day we go to The Dogfather to have some hot dogs, with grilled sausage and hot bread, is a must go, a The Dogfather tradition.

This is a dog stand I will REFUSE — 8 dogs 23 $ all buns had a flabby texture and stale burnt flavor. I expected a toasted crispy buttery bun. They did not deliver. The chili had no flavor. The order took FOREVER (sand lot) to fill. This is a hot dog stand buddy if you can’t slap 1 simple dog together Faster than Kobyashi can eat one then, well, you should have kept your day job.

Sorry… This place is so overrated.
Was looking for a good hot dog place nearby and this isn’t it.

Stopped by for a couple of dogs with kraut for lunch. Kraut was cold… sorry…but cold kraut on a dog is just slightly above the ketchup only miscue.
Dog was a steamed NC Kayem «Old Tyme» which I do love. The rolls were fresh and the location was great.
The place is definitely worth another try… but please at least get the kraut to room temperature.

I am from out of town, but moving to Worcester soon, so I had to stop by this neat little food truck to see how they compare to all of the food trucks that I know in Houston, TX. As far as hot dogs are concerned, this truck would be hard to beat. The menu is really cool with unique combinations of toppings and named in «Dogfather» theme. The buns are unique and better than buns you would just buy at the store normally. I’ll warn that there is a bit of a line (at least when I went) that takes awhile to move through as there was only one man in the truck. The wait is the only reason that i gave ⁴⁄₅ stars (i waited probably 20 minutes to order). But given its only one man, he was pretty fast and Suuuper nice. They also allow you to build your own dog. Dogs start around $ 2 – 3 with even some specialty dogs under 3 bucks. There is a two-​fer combo with 2 basic dogs, chips and a drink for under $ 5! Definitely worth checking out, I know i’ll be back!
**UPDATE**
I’ve been back several times, always delicious! The wait my first time was the worst, it’s normal really reasonable and the owner is so nice! Try the buried alive cookie!

Great variety
Great service
Great snap on the dog
In the mood for tube steak?
Give the a shot… you will love the dog that bites back!

I’ve been looking forward to coming here for a while after reading the reviews here and hearing about it from a couple of friends. I knew I was in for a treat when I pulled up yesterday. Here it is at lunch time on a January Friday afternoon, a balmy forty degrees and overcast, and a line of a dozen people.
I chose to stick to the basics on my first visit, and ordered the lunch special of two regular dogs (with mustard and onions), a bag of chips and a can of soda for five dollars. Steamed to perfection, on a beautifully toasted bun with just the right amount of mustard, covered in onions, it was delicious. The taste, the snap, I would not refuse a return visit.
