I like the fire dog with extra hots. The wood smoke really adds good flavor.
We stopped by on our way home from the zoo and my daughter was very on the fence about a place that only offers hot dogs since they are not her favorite. She took one bite and walked up to the truck to tell the guys working that it was the best hot dog she ever had. My husband demolished his 1/2 lb chili dog with onions and I had a 1/4 lb dog with bbq sauce and onions.
You can tell when someone is proud of his business and loves his customers and the men working here were so good with customers. We pulled up to one on a keyboard singing to the customers who are eating their food. He saw my daughter dancing in her chair and had her get up and taught her a few new moves. Incredible place, wish there were more people in the food industry that treated customers like this and put so much love into their food.
Fantastic food, fantastic service! Larry Joe's is a local gem. Tried the brand new pastrami roll and Wow, was it good!
Visited for the first time after seeing the segment on Phantom Gourmet and LOVED it. I wasn't sure what to expect since Larry Joe's is more of a "food truck" setup, but they are located right near a parking lot, so no issue there, with a lot of grass around for physical-distanced dining. Grouped chairs and small side tables are available. The pastrami and hot dogs are amazing, as are the condiments, especially their mustard blend (for both pastrami and hot dog). My wife thought the chili was a but too vinegar-y for her taste, but that's subjective and no points are deducted. The owner (Larry Joe, I presume?) is a fantastic, charismatic character: as skilled with his small talk and his keyboard as he is with his wood-fired (really! in a food truck!) grill. The whole scene felt like somebody's backyard party. We will definitely be back ... as soon as possible.
Stopped by for the first time today. I had the pastrami sandwich. It was delicious, no fat and it was tender. Larry sure is a character. I enjoyed chatting with him and his assistant. I will definitely be back.
A hot dog food truck - recognized by People magazine as Best in Massachusetts. (Online people called the hot dogs the best in New England!). Three versions of "dogs". I had the traditional with chili - Excellent! Great fresh buns from local Mazzarelli’s bakery. Spicy dog was spicy so be aware.
The Phantom Gourmet was right, they have the best hot dogs around, with a good Hickory smoked flavor, with many topping options. Larry Joe, also sang a song while playing the piano when we were there.
Best dogs in the state, and seemingly the sole reason to go to mendon.
1st timer yesterday. Glad I went. I got the big dog, phew. It is BIG and tasty!
This place is a YUM DINGER!
Also tried the pastrami, it was AMAZING! Flavor was off the charts, no grislte or chew parts, and so moist. So fantastic I got one to go. Probably the best outside of a NYC Jewish deli.
Don't hesitate..... Just go.
