I love Hot Dog Heaven! It looks like a small little Mom n' Pops storefront restaurant which was what attracted me. Everything was neat and clean and organized. The workers making your food and taking your order are very nice and move efficiently and fast. I tried a piece of my co-workers' burger, and it was easily comparable to a Whopper from Burger King. Sooooooooo good! I was more in a sweet tooth type of mood, so I bought the funnel cake fries covered in yummy powdered sugar, as well as the Turtle Sundae. They made me feel so good inside. Lol. Everything was fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try the actual food.

I was one of their first customers in 1978/79 and just flew up from South Carolina and Hot Dog Heaven is a MUST HAVE. I'll be there tomorrow!!

Ordered: 2 chili cheese dogs + small fry Price: $6 and change Ambiance: Pretty quaint place with an equally quaint/small parking lot. The restaurant itself is a little cramped with maybe 6 tables on the first floor. The service was super quick because they have dogs on the grill going all the time so all you really wait for is the fries/sides. Food: Pretty solid dogs about the size of a Hebrew national dog served in a warm soft bun. The flavor was nice and beefy and I liked the slight browning they do on the grill. The chili was somewhat sweet and paired well with the slightly tangy cheese sauce. Overall I had no real complaints, not mind-blowing by any means but hot dogs seldom are for me. The fries were of the shoe-string variety, decent crisp and freshly fried although mine were fairly greasy and pretty salty. I did enjoy them with the seasoning salt on the table though which had a nice hint of heat. Overall a pretty good hot dog place with fair prices, not pushing any gourmet standards by any means but it's a great place to grab a quick bite.

It's a pity Northern Ohio has some unwarranted prejudice toward hot dogs. Unlike other nearby cities, there is a real lack of good hot dog joints Somehow our good citizens think the ground meat and processed chicken that makes up their burgers and McNuggets are more pristine and healthful. Oh well. Back to HDH-I love this place. Chili Dogs. Slaw Dogs. Cheese Dogs. Dogs with Brown Mustard. And some of the best hot, flavorful fries I've had in a long time.Got the munchies? Want to feed the kiddies cheap? Go!

Not a bad place to grab a quick bite. I was expecting more specialty dogs, which they don't really have. Instead, it's your choice of standard dog or large dog and then pick your toppings (roughly 10 to choose from) Good food - went with chili cheese dog and fries. Add the seasoning to the fries for a nice kick. 3 stars because it wasn't anything unique or spectacular, but it was good. Good service - fast, which is all you really care about at a place like this. Good atmosphere - restaurant is an old home converted into a restaurant, and it feels that way - but it was very clean and they had a great outdoor patio.

Grabbed lunch there it was inexpensive and pretty good. Chili sauce was a little sweeter than I expected but can't go wrong with the price. Handcut fries were very tasty! Will be back!
(3)Bmw R.
Oh I love the fresh cut french fries and hot dogs on the warm buns with chili sauce and cheese. Get the topping on the side if you doing carry out, they do not skimp on giving you the yummy chili sauce and cheese.
(5)Leon G.
I think it was good the food the fish sandwich was amazing the only thing wrong with the place is the prices are high on somethings but overall i would like to comeback and try the funnel cake fries
(3)Dale V.
A staple of the area, hot dogs with chili sauce and cheese are amazing. Quaint atmosphere like someone's living room. Great dessert selections as well.
(5)Adam K.
Childhood favorite. Love this place. Unique cheese sauce with perfectly cooked hot dogs and super soft buns. Hand cut French fries and desserts I never have room for once I finish my meal. Always a mist visit when I'm back in town or passing thru

I went there last night for the first time, found out about this place on one of my iPhone apps. I happened to stay at a Motel 6 nearby since I came from CA so I decided to check it out This place is like a local pizza joint but instead of serving pizza, they serve hot dogs!! It's not a big place, kind of small, could fit around 20 people on first floor but they do have 2nd floor for more seating. I went there on a slow night so there weren't alot of customers. I first ordered 2 jumbo dogs, 1 was a BLT and the other one with cheese and bacon bites, I got my orders within 5 mins, nice and fast!! They actually bring ur order to ur table instead of having u wait for it, so that's nice!! Both of my dogs were awesome!! Beautifully presented. Then later I ordered a small size of their cheese bacon fries. Their fries were nice and warm and crispy, that's the way I like it!! I would definately recommend this place to anyone who likes hot dog. It would be great if they have a TV set inside.

Great food, been eating there for 12 years now. But the order taking is a ZERO on a scale of 1 to 10, so you better check and re-recheck your order before you leave if you get the food for take out.

When People ask me where I grew up I tell them Amherst, They look puzzled for a sec.....I then inform them, you know, "Hot Dog Heaven" and the light clicks. This place is amazing.........Best Tube Steak Hands Down~ The restaurant is always clean, Everything is Fresh. I am a loyal, everytime I visit Lorain County this is my first destination stop! Fries are amazing! I love mine w/ a side of cheese ;0)
(5)Chad B.
I very much enjoy going to hot dog heaven. I have been going there for years with my family. They have a very good cheese sauce they put on their cheese dogs and their French fries are very good. The staff is always very friendly. It is a little expensive just for hotdogs but with coupons it's not bad at all.

This place is awesome. It's a local landmark. I ate here as a child. I grew up in a house where we didn't eat national fast food chains or junk food. So, coming to Hot Dog Heaven was such a huge treat. I lived in the Avon Lake area around 2003-2008. I was so excited there was a location around the corner from my house. I would visit on my "cheat days". This place brings back memories for me. I blame them for making my favorite food chili dogs. I've been living on the west side of Los Angeles since, I moved from the area. I as much as I love, our Pink's out here there is one thing missing..... vinegar. I just cannot have a chili dog and fries, without vinegar on my fries. It's just not the same. Whenever, I do eat chili dogs I subject everyone to stories about Hot Dog Heaven. Just like a grandpa. I just visited Ohio about a month ago. I happened to be out on my birthday and I had to have Hot Dog Heaven as my birthday treat. This place, is really like a local pizza shop in some locations. But we in Ohio are a bit different. Our awesome landmark place is a hot dog place. Goodness, do I love my hot dogs! Oh, they have Cleveland's famous Stadium Mustard. People on the west coast have no idea what Stadium Mustard is. I even have a bottle in my house to show everyone the amazing taste. So, if you order a hot dog here it's not complete without Stadium Mustard.

Hot Dog Heaven is indeed the place I'd like to go when I die. Hot dogs, fries, shakes ... all done to perfection. If you ARE going to get a hot dog though, you gotta go jumbo all beef. It's the only way. My favourite way to get my dog dressed? "Hot Dog w/Melted Cheese and Bacon." Literally, not for the faint of heart. It is a salt-fest that would make any well-tuned ticker stop dead in it's tracks ... which is maybe another reason for the name of the establishment evoking themes of the afterlife. Located in a converted "old-timey" house, eating at Hot Dog Heaven is like eating in your own home ... if your home suddenly had a row of deep fryers, a grill and an array of folks ready to take your order. It is so much like home that, after ordering a massive amount of food, the gentlemen who was working brought an extra chili cheese fries just because we "hadn't tried them." And they were GOOD! I am not a huge Chili fan myself, but this is exactly what "topping chili" should be like. You like hot dogs? Well DUH! Go to Hot Dog Heaven!

I like this place because i ate here as a kid, they have malt vinegar for the fries, they put a giant (GIANT!) santa out front during the holidays, it s in an old house and i always wonder whats upstairs, it s named hot dog heaven, they have a juke box.

One word comes to mind when I think about Hot Dog Heaven, "AMAZING." I have been eating at HDH since I was a little girl. Rarely can someone mention that they are from Amherst and not have someone say, "Isn't that where that great hotdog place is?" HDH is located in a charming little house in downtown Amherst. I always thought this was cool because when my dad was younger he actually lived in second floor of this house. I highly recommend their chili-dog. I am not even a fan of chili and I am in love with theirs! They also have amazing fresh cut french fries. Saturate them with a ton of vinegar and they as close to heaven as you can get! Because HDH is very small inside it can get very busy before and after local sporting events. Many teams come to get ice cream after their big game. If you are in Amherst, Ohio it should be mandatory that you give this place a try! It will not let you down!!!

When going to college and telling people you were from Amherst, they are best known for Hot Dog Heaven. This place takes hot dogs to the next level and is a MUST VISIT when in town. Chili sauce is amazing. French fries are hand cut and have the skin on them. If you like a little spice, ask them for Hot Fries which are not on the menu, but they will make. It is an order of fries with 2 kinds of wing sauce. Amazing... I am literally drooling just typing this! The milkshakes are great too as is the fish and... heck, just get the hot dog and load it up with whatever toppings you like (chili, ketchup, mustard, onions, sauerkraut, jalapenos, cheese, relish, etc). BONUS TIP: HDH is actually an old house and the quaint little dining room has pictures of all the current high school team pictures. Hidden in the corner, is an amazing picture of the Inferno, Ricky Schneider, from his gunslinging days at Bowling Green. Take a picture and tweet it and I will send you a Canadian looney.

I mean the name says it all! I just started working up in Lorain a few months ago. I do not know the area well b/c I grew up in Massillon and went to school at KSU. My coworkers invited me to join them for lunch at "Hot Dog Heaven". My eyes lit up with excitement b/c the name alone rocks... and who doesn't enjoy hot dogs?!?! It is a cool old house near downtown Amherst. The staff is friendly and helpful. There are so many hot dog topping and menu choices to choose from. Even if you do not care for hot dogs there are plenty of other delicious treats you can try. They even have chocolate covered banana's! And any place that has stadium mustard on hand is clutch! My only complaint is that they have Pepsi products. I am a Coca-Cola girl and fountain Coke is the best! Definitely visit Hot Dog Heaven is you are ever near Lorain Co. You wont be disappointed!

great value for what you get, especially the topping. i normally load up my hotdog with beacon and chili. very fast service. as soon as we finish ordering and find a table to sit down, the food will be brought to us. The fries are really good. skinny and crispy type.
(4)Melissa P.
The three rating comes from the French Fries. They were excellent--skins on, thin cut, crispy, hot. We also had Mac and cheese, a special, that was fine-- velveetaish cheese on shells. The plain hot dog and mini corn dogs were nothing special. Maybe the beef dog would be better. Service was fine, but woman at counter seemed impatient with my kids reading the menu. Bathroom was clean. Slushies are a choice for value meals, my son found that out and was pleased. Really had higher hopes, a bit disappointed.
(3)Justin F.
Came in to eat. Staff took forever to acknowledge my existance. They were very short with me when I placed my order. All of them looked like they hated life. I guess I might too if I was one of the 3 or 4 over 35 employees of an overpriced hot dog joint. Oh, and they managed to get my order wrong.

Hot Dog Heaven has been a landmark restaurant in Amherst Ohio, since 1976. Jack O'Flanagan , former educator turned entrepreneur still works the grill every day. The food is just delicious. From the hotdogs, hamburgers, fish, and kielbasa to their famous French fries you can't go wrong with this dining choice. The French fries remind you if how they used to cook them a Cedar Point in the 1970's in peanut oil. Their hot fresh family fries can feed a family! You get your money's worth eating here. You can sign up for coupons to be emailed to you and they accept them by the just showing the emailed coupons on your smartphone.

HDH has built up quite a reputation and I've been hearing about this place from my brother since last summer. Today I finally had the pleasure of trying their dogs and thought they were just okay. The dog was pretty good but the cheese topping the chili was the premelted sort you would find better paired with nachos. That said, we had a great time at HDH and I would go again next time I'm in town. Its pretty good for the area.

I've been going to O'armour's since the early 80's when I went to high school just down the street. Now I only get to go when visiting from the west coast. The food is good and cheap. One thing that has always appealed to me is that they have malt vinegar for the fries, a taste I picked up at Arthur Treacher's in the 70's.
(4)Kevin S.
Another guilty pleasure from my Oberlin days. I would load up the car with weed-addled out of state dormies and take them out of Oberlin and into the deep Old Country for a real hot dog. You have never seen flaky lefty college kids devour hot dogs this fast, and you have never seen locals stare so hard.
