Rawley's Drive-in

Finally visited the famous Rawleys. Having grown up near a locally favorite fried dog place out of state, I was excited to try here. Tiny ordering counter and a few tables off to the side. Friendly man at the counter who verified everyone's order (phoneand walk in) before turning it over to the cook. I was happy to see they offer both brown and yellow mustard. Yes, it matters.The sharp vinegar in yellow mustard cuts the fatty spiciness of a hot dog. Try it if you've only used brown. The dog had a nicesnap but was very mild in flavor-reminded me of the supermarket dogs my mom used to feed us. This is the reason I took a staraway. There are better dogs along the shoreline of CT. But, you can't beat the nostalgia of the building, inside and out, andthat does make a difference. This is a place your grandparents probably went to for a date. Old but not run down.

You?re not coming here looking for aesthetics of a 5 star restaurant, however if Michelin could give stars to roadside joints? this spot would take it. Does Rawleys have the best hot dog? absolutely! Along with freshly made blended burgers and even ahomemade recipe by owner AJ of the best bean burger ever! The shakes fries and onion rings were all amazing. Did we overeat?!?You know it! Can?t wait to come back again!

I saw this on Best Food I Ever Ate and wow Alex Guarnaschelli was not kidding! This is easily the best hot dog I?ve Ever had. Everything comes together so well and the shakes were fantastic too. I wish I lived closer to this place because I would go hereall the time!

Best chili dogs in Connecticut! A bit pricey but with every penny! Try the chocolate shakes while you are there. They don't disappoint!

Went here in a whim with my uncle because he said they were good hotdogs. He was almost right, they are great.
