Famous Hot Weiner - Downtown Hanover

"Talk about overrated. The overweight waitress was miserable and the chili dog was average at best. Fries were edible. The hot dog was chewy as if it had a casing on it. Nothing remarkable at all about this place. Whoever has rated this place 4 or even 3 stars needs to get out of Hanover PA more. There’s a place called Ann’s Dari Cream in Glen Burnie MD which makes chili dogs that put these to shame. Hard pass"

"Fame must've gone to those hot weiners' heads bc they ain't even tryin'. Buh-laaaaand. The chili is like if meat learned about chili from a photograph in a rain-soaked Betty Crocker cookbook on the dollar rack outside a used bookstore and thought, "Hey, I could do that." The onions are like they heard a rumor that they were supposed to be all strong and spicy and slouched off to an opium den instead. The hot dog's like a teenager that doesn't want to get out of bed on a school day. The bun's a bun. The fries are salt-free, so that's a health bonus, but overall your heart is going to be nagging your conscience all the way home. The staff was nice and service was quick. They do the paper wrapping up right. And the place has a cool diner-y vibe. I drove up to Hanover from DC to break in my car and figured I'd check out the place. I wouldn't go out of my way again, but if I found myself there I might give it another go and try something else on the menu. After that, though, it'd probably be quits. As long as you're up there take a gander at the Square Commercial Center a block or so away. It's an old Bon Ton that got urban-revitalized with a groovy/grim metal wrapper back in the 70s."

"Came from MD to eat a famous hot wiener. Super quaint diner, family photos on the walls, high schoolers behind the till, my aunt minus the cigarette taking my order. Atmosphere is diner. I might be in 1956, maybe 1978. My famous cheese wiener tasted like Pennsylvania. Delicious Americana. But it wasn’t hot. It was warm. Banana shake was laffy taffy, Runts flavored soft serve goodness."

"Overall just a huge lacking in customer service… and my hot dog was burned I think the kids working there found it funny when their coworker told me to grab someone else’s food bag, he replied “there’s people in front of you” with a smirk lol what a joke. As someone who literally works in customer service I can say this was NOT the best wiener place and probably one of the worst. Last resort food stop lol not going there again."

"I love the Famous Hot Weiner in Hanover. We travel here a couple of times a year now that we live at the beach, and now my kids are hooked too. It's just like I remember it from when I was a kid. The taste, the smell, the whole vibe. We even get a bunch of hotdogs to take back with us. They are just as good the next day. My wife actually likes them better the next day because the flavor from the chili, onions, and hotdogs all have a chance to marry together. Keep up the great work, and we will see you again soon. Thank you for all that you do."
