Riley's Hot Dog Burger Gourmet

I finally visited the famous Rileys. Except first, I had to find a place to park. They have very few spots on the side of their building, or otherwise metered city parking. Not cool New Britain. The service at the counter was friendly and efficient. I was disappointed the dog itself was very bland. The toppings were good, but they could make a sandwich all on their own. The dog was unimpressive. Also tried the salt potatoes. They were good-just as you'd expect, and nice to see on the menu. I'm glad I went but I wouldn't go back.

Love this place. Great Hot Dogs, nice people, surprisingly awesome beers.

Hot dogs were good and a very nice atmosphere for a lunch date. Definitely recommend

Rileys is truly gourmet, interesting and delicious hotdogs. Unique combinations and flavourful ingredients are what sets Riley’s apart. I brought two friends and we ordered several different versions and they were kind enough to cut them into thirds so we could each try and compare. The Thai, Mac and cheese, jalepeno popper, BLT and taco dogs are all fantastic. Their hand-cut fries are the best around and their salty balls (new potatoes brined in a salt and seasonings then fried) are definitely worth trying.Comfortable atmosphere inside and a nice little courtyard in warmer weather are a plus. Good craft beer selection and regular seasonal specials add to the appeal. I don’t live close to New Britain but I will go out of my way for a Riley’s dog. I recently brought two friends for the first time and they both said some of the best dogs they’ve ever had. Try for yourself.

This place is definitely in the top running for best hot dog in CT! Go down and try it for yourself lots of options and you won't be disappointed! Plus an excellent selection of local craft beers
