"The Crown Prince of hot dogs: a Rawley's frank topped with mustard, relish, sauerkraut, and succulent nuggets of just-fried bacon."

"On the left, a 'works' dog; on the right, mustard and relish."

"The natural casing on Rawley's dogs gets crisp and crunchy at the end of the tube steak."
Michael Stern
"Rawley's wood-paneled walls are covered with signatures, drawings and mementoes of diners who felt the urge to leave their mark."
Michael Stern
"Fairfield County's definitive hot dog joint, since the late 1940s. It is not unusual to see luxury cars parked alongside tradesmens' vehicles in the parking lot: Rawley's hot dogs appeal to all walks of life."
Michael Stern
"The French fries are thick and spuddy; at the bottom of the cardboard boat are plenty of crisp, crunchy pieces."
Michael Stern
"Nick Frattaroli, who owns the next-door Dairy Queen, bought Rawley's from Chico Bielik late in 2002. Nick vows to keep everything exactly as it's always been. Amen to that! Here, Nick uses tongs to open up a hot dog bun. The buns, with their soft insides and crisped surface, are a little-appreciated, but essential part of Rawley's excellence."
Michael Stern
"Rawley's semi-outdoor seating area, where customers on bar stools trade wise cracks with the staff and with each other. There is a dining room with booths to the right."
Michael Stern
"These beauties have just been plucked from the frying oil, where their skin rips and tightens. They are then rolled on the grill to turn crisp."
