We stopped here for a quick bite and we were surprised at what a selection that they had. We actually just went with "the classic". Which was meat sauce, mustard and onions.Unfortunately the pictures do not give justice. It's all about The staff was very courteous or meal was served promptly.

Small little shack with a lot of character. Great spot for very unique hot dogs (as well as burger options). Tried the jalapeno popper dog and my wife had the taco dog. Both very good and we liked the Cajun fries with the spicy sauce it came with. Very affordable too considering the high quality food. Would love to return to try more.

Been meaning to visit this place for over a year now. Yet I never got around to it. Until today that is. The place was a lot smaller than I expected, but there was plenty of seating and the decor was nice. The wait time was quick, my order came out fast and correct. On the subject of food, I choose to go with their meat-free options. Yes I know I'm that guy, and yes I know this place is known for their meats. Their "salty balls" were a nice change from regular fries, as I always welcome innovation to my sides. But the star of the show was their Quinoa burger, on my order anyways. It was good. The patty held together, the relish gave it a nice flavor, the lettuce was crisp. Personally I wish it had a touch of Spicy heat, but that's my fault for not adding a spicy topping to my order. Overall good quality veggie burger and good potatoes.

This place is a gem! Delicious hot dogs, so many varieties (I recommend the Thai Two-O), fresh cut fries, great service, and a cool atmosphere. They have gluten free options also which was fantastic. Will definitely come here again.

Decided to make the rounds and try all of the local hot dog places. This was my favorite, but also the most expensive. Worth the money and the cleanest of the three. Parking was VERY confusing and ended up paying before I noticed the few dedicated spots right next to it. Everything I tried was delicious.

I went here for a late lunch and had the Magic Mushroom Swiss burger. I also had an order of French fries. The fries were good and there were a lot of them. My burger was nice and hot & cooked to perfection. It was very good. I will definitely be coming here in the future to try some other specialty burgers and mayhaps I will even try a hot dog or two next time. The staff was friendly, and the facilities were nice and clean. The over-all look and feel of the place are pleasant. I was going to include a picture of my burger, but ended up devouring it a little too quickly... Maybe next time One thing worth mentioning is there are parking meters in the parking lot... I'm not sure what the deal is with that. We were here on a Saturday, so it didn't really affect us during this visit.

I've been trying all the hot dog places in CT. They all claim to be the best. Imo, rilesys has the best chili cheese dog I've ever had. They nailed the classic flavor. They win hands down. I also tried the small bite burger which is pretty big. It's their take on a big Mac. It was good. The fries too, fresh cut seasoned fries were the bomb. Riley makes some of the best dog/burger joint food you can ask for. Great service, lady who took my order was very friendly today. Can't wait to come back. Next time I am getting two dogs though!
