Sure, you could hit up national chain restaurants today to get your big bite of National Hot Dog Day.
But here in Delaware, we have plenty of homegrown greasy spoons, ranging from those specifically known for their mouth-watering wieners to spots that just happen to have top-notch dogs tucked away on the menu.
So if you donāt feel like firing up your barbecue on this hump day to make your National Hot Dog Day meal just as you like it, try one of these 10 eateries for some bun-worthy dogs.
The Dog House, New Castle
Throw a rock, hit a Delawarean and ask them their favorite hot dog joint and The Dog House would most likely be near the top of the list.
Known for its foot-long hot dogs, The Dog House has been in business since 1952 and has a menu filled with a variety of pizzas, subs, cheesesteaks and its best-selling chili cheese dog.
The Dog House makes its own house relish and is partnered with Serpe & Sons Bakery, which makes the hot dog buns. And they just added credit cards and a dog-friendly outdoor dining area.
The Dog House, 1200 N. Du Pont Highway, near New Castle, (302) 328-5380
Deerhead Hot Dogs, near Wilmington and Stanton
If The Dog House isnāt the old school top dog in Delaware, then Deerhead Hot Dogs is.
They started in downtown Wilmington at Hotel Olivere in 1935 and has been cooking up hot dogs ever since.
A popular pairing is the Deerhead Hot Dog with everything, which includes mustard, onions and the secret Deerhead sauce that keeps fans coming. Hot dogs are also sold in doubles or 10 packs if you canāt get enough.
The restaurant, which no longer has a Wilmington location, is still grillinā in Stanton.
Deerhead Hot Dogs, 1233 Churchmans Rd, Stanton, (302) 266-9333
Johnnieās Dog House and Chicken Shack, Wilmington
Based in Talleyville, Johnnieās Dog House and Chicken Shack was featured in an issue of People magazine a few years back for having the best hot dog in the state. And plenty of fans would still give them the honor.
The Delaware Destroyer, winner of the award, is actually two hot dogs served on a 6-inch hoagie roll topped with macaroni and cheese, chili, grilled onions and hot sauce. Burp!
If youāre looking for something a bit sweeter, try the Monkey Hill Dog, which comes topped with grilled bananas, crunchy peanut butter, chopped bacon and honey.
Johnnieās offers its hot dogs in beef, chicken, turkey, kobe beef or veggie. You can also get a beef in a 13-inch jumbo size, which weighs almost a pound.
Johnnieās Dog House and Chicken Shack, 3401 Concord Pike, Talleyville, (302) 477-1440
Taco Reho, Rehoboth Beach and Middletown
When you think about the Delaware chain Taco Reho, California-inspired burritos and tacos wrapped in warm, house-made corn tortillas probably come to mind.
But for all of July ā including National Hot Dog Day on the 17th ā their rock ānā roll-themed, homegrown restaurants will be spotlighting one of Americaās favorite summertime bites.
In fact, there are always some foot-long beef dogs on their menu, including Danger Dog: a bacon-wrapped hot dog with black beans, Monterey jack cheese, avocado, yellow mustard, chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, pickled red onions, queso fresco and cilantro.
For July, they have been offering a different hot dog each week to celebrate National Hot Dog Day. Their Danger Dog is the featured dog for this week and for the week starting July 22, you can get the new Elote: a hot dog topped with Mexican grilled corn, cheese and chile peppers.
Taco Reho, Rehoboth Beach (18784 Coastal Highway) and Middletown (100 Sandhill Drive), (302) 226-8226
Charcoal Pit, Talleyville
Sure, Charcoal Pit has thick milkshakes, high school-themed sundaes and a beloved hamburger line-up, but thereās another American classic on the menu that gets lost in the shuffle sometimes.
You have two options for their flame-grilled hot dogs: the basic plain char dog or the char dog special with two char dogs topped with chili and cheese with a side of French fries.
They have been serving them for nearly 70 years, so they must be doing something right.
Charcoal Pit, 2600 Concord Pike, Talleyville, (302) 478-2165
Twilleyās Willys, Fenwick Island
Twilleyās Willys in Fenwick Island has a menu loaded with hot dogs just as unique as its name.
Try one of the 17 different city-style dogs such as The Baltimore, loaded with large lump Maryland crab, macaroni & cheese and Old Bay or The Philly, topped with chopped steak, cheese sauce and caramelized onions.
The āOther Dogsā menu features fun styles like the Dirty Dog, which comes with chorizo, pico de gallo, cheese sauce and cilantro lime crema.
All are also available in veggie form.
Twilleyās Willys, 300 Coastal Highway, Fenwick Island, (302) 581-0255
Rosenfeldās Jewish Delicatessen, Rehoboth Beach and South Bethany Beach
Mixed among potato latkes, Reubens and matzo ball soup, youāll find some big dogs in the center of the Rosenfeldās Jewish Delicatessen menu.
There are seven third-pound split hot dogs just waiting to fill you up from a plain dog you can dress up with sauerkraut to something that call Twinsies: a pair of third-pound dogs on one big bun. Thatās nearly 11 ounces of beef.
If you want to try something new (and probably take a follow-up nap), go for The Big Dog, which is topped with pastrami, corned beef, bologna, melted cheddar.
Rosenfeldās Jewish Delicatessen, Rehoboth Beach (18949 Coastal Highway, 302-645-1700) and South Bethany Beach (34444 Coastal Highway, 302-539-8550)
Gus & Gus Place, Rehoboth Beach
Gus & Gus Place is located on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and has a special hot dog that might bring on the nostalgia.
The classic oceanfront restaurant features basics such as a cheese dog, a chili dog and a sauerkraut dog, but rounds its menu off with a corn dog that will give you some real state fair feels.
If you stop by, choose your dog and then be sure to grab some of the ālegendary fresh Idaho friesā cooked in peanut oil to go with it.
Gus & Gus Place, 15 S. Boardwalk, Rehoboth Beach, (302) 227-3329
Edās Hot Dogs, New Castle
Located at Airport Plaza in New Castle, Edās Hot Dogs is known for its combo meals and great deals.
Their slogan? āFood so great, youāll think we stole your Mom!ā
The limited menu features hot dogs, hot sausages, Polish kielbasa, meatball sandwiches, cheesesteaks and breakfast sandwiches. And if youāre on a budget, itās a winner.
Edās Hot Dogs, 138 Sunset Blvd., New Castle, (302) 883-1338
Doggie Style
Doggie Style, which grew from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar spot on Rehoboth Beachās next to the former original home of Nicola Pizza, is the go-to spot for hot dogs in the āThe Nationās Summer Capital.ā
A hot dog joint that also specializes on Caribbean fare offers 11 specialty hot dogs, alongside an array of sausages and a mini Mexican menu witch nachos, tacos and burritos.
The foot-long menu has dogs named after their style, ranging from the Lardeo, Little German and Little Brazilian to the Little Jamaican, Farmer and Little Weenie Between Two Eggs.
If you want to stick to the basics, try the Little Hillbilly with beef chili, cheese and onions. If you want to go off leash, try Little Boriqua topped with sweet plantains, chili, āFlorida sauce,ā cheese and potato sticks.
Doggie Style, 4 N. First St., Rehoboth Beach, (302) 384-4386

Delaware faces exodus of tech companies
Delaware is facing a further exodus of tech companies amid reports that Meta and Dropbox are moving out of the state.
Newsweek has contacted Meta and Dropbox for comment via email.
Why It Matters
Delaware has long been considered a business-friendly state due to its corporate tax advantages, and is home to multiple large companies. However, backlash against the First State has intensified after Delaware Judge Kathaleen McCormick ruled that Tesla CEO Elon Muskās record-breaking $56 billion compensation package was excessive.
Musk, who has become increasingly influential in both the political and corporate world, urged companies to pull out of the Democratic-led state. In February 2024, he announced that SpaceX was relocating its incorporation from Delaware to Texas, following Teslaās corporate move from California to Texas in 2021.
What to Know
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is reportedly considering moving its incorporation from Delaware to another state, such as Texas, according to reports in the national press.
The company has been in talks with Texas officials about the potential move, though other states are also being considered. An unnamed source told The Wall Street Journal that these discussions predated former President Donald Trumpās return to office.
Musk holds a role in the new Trump administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The move would not involve Meta relocating its corporate headquarters out of California.
Texas is perceived as having a more favorable legal and regulatory environment for businesses, particularly in taxation and corporate governance, Reuters reported.
Meanwhile, file-hosting service Dropbox is also said to be moving its incorporation from Delaware to Nevada.
The move was revealed in a letter to stockholders that has been shared on social media. Dropbox said it has received approval from a majority of shareholders to proceed with the transition.
What People Are Saying
Stephen Bainbridge, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, told The Wall Street Journal: āThe Texas state government is trying to send out signals that the Texas state courts will be more friendly to businesses than the Delaware court has been. But thereās no guarantee that thatās going to happen.ā
Eric Talley, a corporate law and governance professor at Columbia Law School, told The New York Times: āOne could read this as a bet that because Musk moved Tesla and some of his other companies to Texas, the client effects will be that itāll develop a jurisprudence friendly to controllers. The hope that Musk and Zuckerberg have is that the courts in Texas will be much more permissive about them doing whatever they want, even if it involves a conflict of interest. Thereās a much longer leash in Texas.ā
Robert Anderson, a law professor at the University of Arkansas, posted on X, formerly Twitter: āDropbox is also leaving Delaware. Itās happening. For those who donāt spend their days studying corporate law, today is an absolutely seismic event.ā
Elon Musk in a January 2024 post on X: āNever incorporate your company in the state of Delaware
Dropbox, in a message to stockholders, stated: āStockholders of the company holding at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote adopted resolutions by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders to approve the reincorporation of the company from the state of Delaware to the state of Nevada by conversion.ā
What Happens Next
It remains unclear when or if Meta and Dropbox will officially move out of Delaware.
