I love a great chili dog you can see on my reviews i have been to a few wanted to see what all the hype was at top dog since the new owners just took over got one pepper dog and one chili cheese the dog had a nice snap but neither of them had much flavor and light on toppings chili was watery and cheese cold not melted bun sogged out at bottom and again not much flavor the bun needs some love grill it press it something .

First time here and I can’t wait till I’m back in Portland CT to have another one of the top dog hot dogs. I’m originally from New Haven CT and was in town for work, drove by and thought the hotdog trailer hauled by a yellow 50s cab was just for show but then realized it was a hotdog stand they and knew I had to try them!! I’m glad I did- it was a great hot dog!Kid-friendliness: The hot dog trailer

Been coming to this stand for over 30 yrs the owner usually is nice and friendly..Today I go she talking to everyone that’s ordering food and when I get up to the window to order she just stares at me so I say hello to her & place my order.. Then when she hands me my food I say Thank you & her response was umm hmm, but when the person behind me goes to order she’s all full of life saying hello and everything else, and yes the ones she was speaking to and saying hello to were not people of color in which I am so with that being said I will no longer spend my money there..

Been a regular for 20 years. The nicest people and great hot dogs, especially the Cheese dog and the Sauerkraut dog. A relaxing stop that reminds me of long-gone RT 66 travelling. Thank-you!

Best hot dogs in CT. It's a hot dog stand pulled behind something like a 57 Chevy cab car.Try the new Orleans with mustard!

As excellent a hot dog as the first time I had a Top Dog Hot Dog oh so many years ago. Buns are steamed as well as Hot Dogs right in the premises of the Trailer on the side of the road across from what is now Cumberland Farms. And very reasonably priced.

I was traumatized several years ago by a coworker who ate hotdogs EVERY day for 3 years... kind of ruined them for me. so i only can stomach eating a dog every once and a while.So on a whim i stopped at the giant hot dog trailer and got a chili dog, then a regular dog, and then another chili dog. They were great! I liked the chili a lot. Ill definatley stop here again in a year or two when i can stomach eating another hot dog!🤣🤣🤣

Best hotdogs around and cheap! The natural casing pops or snaps with each bite as these are boiled not grilled dogs. Got 3 dogs a lemonade and Cape Cod chips for 12.50. Try Orleans relish.

The first time I remember Top Dog was when what would be called knee high.... Waiting for my dog with cheese and katchup by my mom's side... Now almost 40 yrs old I have to say; What they give to this town is and will always be as much if not more in my eyes than any small town business!!!! They are part of the soul and endenty that makes such a place a memory
