I've been going there since the '70s. I love that barely anything has changed in that little place. There's something comforting about being able to visit a spot that you frequented as a child. And there's nothing like a Russ Ayres hot dog with a Yoo-Hoo :)

Tucked back in a quiet town is Russ’s! Old school hot dog stand with old school vibes! No complaints here, staff was friendly and prices weren’t bad either.

Cool little Hot Dog Joint, Atmosphere is pretty much on point... A Gr8 place for a quick bite, especially when passing through. I have been to Hot Dog Joints all along the East Coast, and as far West as Arkansas... This place has the potential to Grow, significantly. I Hope to be able to return as I know that they will be better!!!

Tasty hotdogs, and fun place to visit and sit outside.I would give 5 stars, but there are some flyers that are a little too political..

As others mention, this didn't live up to the hype. This was the 2nd time back just in case it was off on my first visit a while back. Basic pork hotdog with not much taste. No cooked red onions which is a huge miss in my opinion for a Jersey hotdog place. Fryer was down so couldn't get fries which I remember being the highlight the last time I was there. Gave it the second chance but won't be back. Miss the days of roadside carts being the norm in NJ.
It's not Portillo's (best chili dogs in the universe). That being said, the chili dogs here are very good. Served in much the same way as Portillo's, they were great to have again.

You can have your hot dog with any kind of toppings you'd like there is a lot of variety. There's tables with umbrellas outside to eatParking: It's just a big lot to park inKid-friendliness: That area outside is made for kids and picture taking. There are whimsicalWheelchair accessibility: Xall outside I don't recall there being any steps or anything that would hinder movement

Hotdogs were pretty good. Nothing to go crazy over but a solid hotdog nonetheless. Service is perfectly fine. Atmosphere is minimal but you're not really going here for the atmosphere. Everything was clean and sitting outside is perfect for enjoying a fresh hotdog.
