This 65+ Year Old Hot Dog Stand Is One Of The Most Nostalgic Destinations In Massachusetts

You don't need to travel all the way to Coney Island, New York to get some fantastic hot dogs. That's because there are plenty of wonderful stands right here in Massachusetts. Many of these places have been standing strong for decades. OnlyInYourState has already told you about nostalgic hot dog restaurants such as George's Coney Island in Worcester and Casey's Diner in Natick. Hot Dog Annie's in Leicester is another great place to grab an iconic dog.

Hot Dog Annie’s is a little red shack located in a woodsy spot in Leicester. This off-the-beaten-path spot is no-frills, but oh-so-yummy.

The hot dog stand has been feeding generations of local customers.

The simple menu consists of hot dogs (of course) as well as burgers. Condiments include the basics - ketchup, mustard, onions, and relish.

If you are going for the hot dogs, I suggest ordering more than one. One bite and you will be glad you did!

I tend to like my dogs with just ketchup. However, most customers come to Annie's for the barbecue dogs. People simply rave about them. Out-of-towners will travel miles just to get one!

Annie’s staff keep their sweet and tangy homemade barbecue sauce recipe under lock and key.

You will definitely need a cold drink to wash down all of those hot dogs. You are in luck! Annie’s makes their very own old-fashioned cream soda and root beer!

It is important to note that Annie’s does strictly take-out business. Order the dogs inside and then take them home to enjoy.

If you want to get fancy, you can serve them to family and friends on these festive serving plates.

Or you can devour them at one of the picnic tables outside the shack. No matter where you choose to enjoy your meal, you are in for some great dogs!

Hot Dog Annie’s is such a nostalgic gem that the restaurant attracts a huge following of customers without having a strong internet presence. You can find Hot Dog Annie’s at 44 Paxton St in Leicester, not far from the Worcester airport. And for even more fantastic hot dogs, you should pay a visit to Doggz & Hoggz in Falmouth.
