We've been going to Cape May for years now, and Hot Dog Tommy's is a must! Great Hot Dog's reasonably priced in an expensive town to visit. The hot dog menu is impressive and they are always served with a smile and joke from Tommy himself. Great grub for the beach!

Service is fast and you get a great experience every time. I hate hot dogs, but I'll eat these. Try something new on the menu, as you will not be disappointed. The only downfall is that there is no place to sit, but then again, you can just grab your hot dog and meander through the beautiful streets of Cape... More

Great tasting hot dogs with plenty of toppings to choose from. Take out only but a short walk to the beach.

I've visit Cape May about 6 times a year and always noticed a line down the street during lunch time at this place. My son and I decided to try it out and we weren't disappointed. I've never seen so many different ways to order a hot dog. We both enjoyed beef hot dogs and the sides. The arcade across... More

Nice dog with a wide choice of additions. Could be a crazy place in the summer with lots of people lined up as the space around the window is tight...so read the menu before you get to the window. Tommy is fun to talk to when the "traffic" is light.

I assume he was the owner, insulted my adult daughter, sarcastic comments about everything, routine hot dog. He may think he's funny. I think he's a bigoted idiot. If I could stop ANYONE from going there I would.

Hog Dog Tommy's is one of the reason we visit Cape May again this year. The hotdog is very juicy and there are many interesting flavors, Doc Dog, Chilly Cheese, cranberry coleslaw...etc. Best snack in town. Especially, Tommy is a great guy. He is very friendly and patiently answered all of our questions. He is also very humorous and funny.

What a great find Tommy's was today.. It's tucked away at the beach end of Jackson St.. My wife andI both enjoyed our perfect beach day lunch.. She had a Reuben Dog and I went with the Bad Dog which was an awesome 1/4 pounder ..Together with chips an a Yoohoo we both enjoyed ourselves immensely. We were served by... More

Tom and Mary have been a staple to CM for many years, via the Manor House, The Dry Dock and now Tommy's. Tom has a bubbly sense of humor which you will never forget once you've met him. How Mary puts up with him...she must be a Saint. Sauerkraut, hot dog and mashed. YUM
