Spike's Junkyard Dogs - Allston

I would give a 5 for just the fries. Definitely the best I’ve had in the area and the hot dog was great too! I’m not a big fan of hotdogs but the meat didn’t taste low quality and that’s a big plus

We love spikes. The dogs are super good on delicious buns. Try the German shepherd and the curly “poodle” fries. Additionally, we were babysitting someone with a bunch of allergies. The cashier was extremely helpful.

I visited Spikes for the first time the other day! This is a pretty cool hot dog spot. It was recommended by my best friend, and I am glad I tried it. We are both vegetarians, and they have a large handful of vegetarian options! The atmosphere is very family friendly, the décor is pretty awesome with a lot of old school photos of classic cars. Even the register counter has a car door for decoration! The restaurant is very clean and has a good amount of seating for how small this location is. There is little curb parking, so I recommend just taking the T or an uber to this location. The staff is very friendly and patient as I was indecisive in selecting my order. This place offers a lot more than just hotdogs, and I enjoyed my hotdogs so much I just might get more and try out their veggie burgers! I ordered the All American Veggie dog meal and it was so good. They have a good selection of fountain drinks, the fries were curly fries and crispy! The hot dog really spoke for itself, the size of the veggie dog was perfect for the bun and the toppings were not overloaded, but they were very generous on the amount. All for a great price! My guest and I shared the Freaken Hot Hotdog, it was super good. . . but needs come with a warning sign. That, or maybe my guest was right I’m just “weak.” The hours here are awesome, come in for a late nigh bite.

Not to be missed if you are in the Massachusetts or Rhode Island area. Owner happened to be at location we visited, and he was pleasant and friendly. Not sure what to get, try the Texas Ranger Dog, Cheesy Buffalo Dog, or the St. Bernard Dog and of course, some Junkyard Fries,

Been eating here for probably over 15 years at this point. Excellent vegan/vegetarian options. Amazing lemonade. Guaranteed good food, at a good price, and always come out quickly. Staff is always friendly/helpful too, can’t go wrong! Best hot dogs in New England!
