Great atmosphere, service with a smile and awesomely yummy dogs! I would have liked a little more "burn" on dogs. I'll be sure to ask the next time I go back... definitely will return! Oh..FYI.. parking lot only holds 5-6 cars so be prepared to circle the block for a parking meter.

This is probably one of the best spots in New Brunswick to grab a bite. I ordered the Oscar and my friend ordered the Nicky Newarker. Both are very delicious and vegetarian friendly hot dogs for 9 bucks each! I shared the truffle fries with my friend Amazing price point and comfortable vibe. I feel like the decor of destination dogs doesn't look like a ransacked bar compared to the Scarlet Pub. The best part of destination dogs in New Brunswick is that its just off of the NJ Transit station but away from the hustle and bustle of College Ave parties

Fun spot with awesome dogs and great vibes! This place is such a cool restaurant/bar — feels like a local staple for sure. The staff is super friendly and know their way around the (very large) menu. Honestly, they have a hot dog or sausage combo for just about everyone. I let the bartender pick for me, and she nailed it. She chose an all-beef dog that was basically a Big Mac in hot dog form. I was skeptical at first, but wow this dog hit in all the right ways. Awesome presentation, even better flavor. I could’ve easily eaten three of these. I also tried the onion rings, the bartender warned me they were just “meh,” and she wasn’t wrong, lol. For round two, I went with an all-beef dog topped with pastrami this is basically a Reuben-style dog. Another win! Great flavor, great presentation. Overall, I’d totally recommend Destination Dogs if you’re in the area. Just a heads up, if there’s a game on, it gets loud. Like “can’t-hear-your-friend-next-to-you” loud. But if that’s your vibe, you’ll love it.

We were greeted immediately and our waitress, Carey was attentive! Staff is very polite and nice. Carey always follow up and make sure we had everything we needed. The food is great and price is reasonable. Portion side is perfect. The hot dogs comes with a side of chips. They had happy hour on drinks during the weekday. Took the opportunity to get myself a house vodka drink. Pretty strong. Overall I would def come back with friends again. Nice time. Music is slightly loud but you can still hear the conversation in the table.

Such a plus that it’s open so late! Got the sausage flight, fried pickes, and onion rings more than enough for two. The French 75 was perfectly made and the lemon mascarpone cake was a delicious end. Next time will have to try individual hot dogs and I do wish they labeled which sausage was which all I know is I enjoyed them all (even the alligator and shrimp).
