The Filling Station In Palisades, West Haverstraw Vies For DVlicious Win

HAVERSTRAW, N.Y. -- The classic hot dog, in all its bronzed, charred perfection, holds a special place in the hearts – and stomachs -- of most Americans, especially come summer. July, in fact, is National Hot Dog Month, thanks to the designation by the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. 

The Filling Station in Palisades is a popular spot for cyclists and bikers.

The Filling Station, 243 Route 9W, Palisades, (845) 359-9000; T.F.S. Burger Works, 45 South Route 9W, West Haverstraw, (845) 786-9000

Frank Talk: The Filling Station, a charmingly restored 1939 gas station popular with the cycling crowd, and its sister restaurant, T.F.S. Burger Works, with its industrial, garage-y vibe, both have grilled dogs made with 100 percent Black Angus beef. 

You can eat them outdoors at the Palisades location on a patio, at a counter, or around a fire pit. They have a long, ever-changing, lineup of craft beers, too. And what goes better with a dog than a brew? (If in the mood for something more exotic than a dog or burger, you can pop next door at the Palisades spot to its bakery and gourmet take-out, or eat-in, market.) By the way, if The Filling Station looks familiar, it’s because it was used as a set for the 2001 Drew Barrymore movie “Riding in Cars with Boys.”

Top This: The toppings are made from all-natural, high quality ingredients – no straight-out-of-the-jar stuff here. The regular dog comes with sauerkraut and dill pickle relish, while their Philly Dog has grilled onions and cheddar cheese sauce. But the customer fav seems to be the Junkyard Dog with diced tomatoes, onions, pickles, hot peppers and yellow mustard.
