“ The manager (Connie I think!) was super delightful and helpful. Such a sweet woman. Had to get my fix when I was back in town so I stopped here instead of my usual NB HDS, and was not disappointed at all. Quality stuff! Go Connie! ”

“ BRING ON THE JALEPENOS what an awesome addition to the menu!! If you enjoy spicy, this will make you as happy as a clam. Add some wonderful jappies to your sloppy delicious chili cheese fry for nothing but pure cardiac arrest inducing bliss. Woooooooooooooo!! ”

“ Had lunch here Saturday, at the insistence of a co-worker here in my home state (not PA). He has fond memories of this place, and promised that I would have the best chili dog I've ever eaten, and mandated that I also order cheese fries and a chocolate shake. With no disrespect to the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe, it was okay, but not the 'best' chili dog I've ever had. The sauce is pretty watery, and the hot dog - for you connoisseurs - is a warm dog. Not one that is grilled or well done. The fries looked like they were going to be greasy but they surprisingly weren't, and had a really good flavor. I wish I'd skipped the cheese sauce, they stand on their own without it. The chocolate shake was good. In all, a very affordable lunch, but don't go expecting a miracle. :) A lunch companion ordered a burger (at a hot dog shoppe!?) and said it was good. ”
