Charlie’s Hot dogs started in 1963 by Charles Summa a WWII veteran. The stand was a well known staple in Brentwood NY for over 50 years. Charlie’s closed down due to town only permitting veterans to have a license. More forward 10 years later, the town now allows non veterans to have a permit. Due to popular demand, Charlie’s daughter Jeanne has re opened for all to enjoy again!

When it comes to hot dogs… Charlie’s does it right. What you see below is a trio of melted cheese on top of a bed of crispy homemade bacon bits on a semi toasted bun with a crunchy well cooked hot dog next to the best addition to a meal. 2 yoohoos with a bag of honey bbq chips. I can’t lie this is not diet food. This is indulgence at its finest. I gained weight after eating those 3 but it won’t be the last time I do. Great place, great location, great prices, great people and even better great food. CASH ONLY.. please wear a mask when going to order due to covid19 restrictions. See ya soon. Enjoy

Great food put out by great people- was in from out of town and haven’t had a legit Sabbrett hot dog or a NY knish in over 10 years- they did not disappoint- grabbed a couple of jars of onions to go so I can make the New Englanders understand what they’re missing up there-

I grew up on Spur Dr. My best friend was a relative of Charlie we even helped make the onions a few times and have fond memories of the original. When the truck first came back some years ago boasting Charlie’s famous onion I had to make a trip and noticed the onions were a little off but largely the same. Today I was in the area and had to stop and as much as it saddens me these aren’t Charlie’s onions, they don’t even resemble them in taste or texture but more closely resemble sabrett in both taste and texture with small chopped onion pieces, that distinct taste that made them famous is gone the big onions cooked down till they melted in your mouth is gone even the red color with all the flecks of seasoning gone just a drab orange like every other pre packaged hot dog topping, Charlie must be rolling in his grave….thankfully I can still make them at home the way they used to be.

Best hot dogs hands down. A true LI tradition. Glad they’re back! Mustard and the famous Charlie’s onions for the win.
