Windmill - Freehold

Stop #7 on our Summer Hot Dog Joint and Diner tour 2018...and a long time favorite, The Windmill Hot Dogs in Freehold, NJ. Windmill is an icon on the Jersey Shore, and rightly so. Their large flat grilled snappy natural casing dogs are excellent. I prefer mine kind of well done, split open and a bit charred. They are served on regular white rolls. My son Jason's dog was plain (of course). I love topping mine with the combination of their spicy brown mustard and hot pepper relish. The hot pepper relish is what pushes these dogs over the top for me. I paired my dogs up with their famous cheese fries. Just awesome...

I had heard of The Windmill however I never knew there was one of their locations not to far from me. On my way home night being totally fed up with all of what the other fast food restaurants have and what they offer I wanted something different so I decided to stop in and try The Windmill and I am surely glad that I did. I looked at their menu and as I was looking I happen to be in front of the grill where they were cooking their hot dogs and I looked again and I said to myself, 'Wow, look at the size of the hot dog and the quality of it '. It looked simply delicious so I ordered 2 of them and an order of french fries with them to go. When I got home I sat down and let me tell you their hot dogs are awesome not only due to the size of them, but the quality was second to none and the french fries as well. I truly enjoyed my visit and meal at The Windmill and they have earned a new fan for sure and I am going to spread the word to all of my friends and family to go there for a really good meal indeed. The only downside to my visit to The Windmill as the person who took my order could barely speak and understand the English language as I wanted to take some condiments (Pickles, Onions, Relish) home with me for the hot dogs and I asked for some containers for the condiments and I asked, 'Can I have some containers for the condiments I want to take home with me please? ' The person replied, 'How many condoms do you want? ' I looked in amazement, the person gave me a few with lids, I paid for my order and left in shock from the answer to my question.
