We had the cheeseburgers with chili cheese fries. I found the burger a bit dry but still tasty. The chili cheese fries were very good. They were crispy and delicious.

Hiram's 1345 Palisade Ave. Fort Lee, NJ 07024 Hot Dog with Red Onions Hot Dog with Chili and Cheese Onion Rings Sausage Sandwich Located in Fort Lee approximately one mile from the George Washington Bridge is a locally owned restaurant that specializes in the good old fashioned American hot dog. There is a decent amount of indoor seating and plenty of decorative wall art. The hot dog was smothered in red onions. Some of the onions fell of the dog, but that's definitely a good problem as it means the plentiful onions were piled high and deep. In my personal opinion, chili and cheese both make excellent toppings on a frankfurter. Visually the cheese is hard to see, but it is hidden beneath a heaping mound of chili. If you aren't craving a hot dog, check out a couple of the other comfort food menu items I explored. The battered onion rings are piping hot. While crunchy on the outside, they are soft and savory on the inside. It's a win-win whether you choose to have them plain or with a dipping sauce of your choice. This flattened sausage patty is smothered in marinara sauce and served on Italian bread. It is simple, yet satisfying. It was a pleasant experience eating classic food in this casual establishment. #hotdogs #hotdoglovers #hotdogwithredonions #redonions #chiliandcheese #hotdogwithchiliandcheese #sausagesandwich #onionings #Hirams #fortleenj #foodstagram #localbusiness #foodreviews #njfoodie #eats #localspots

A New Jersey institute that has stood the test of time. There isn't much to say about Hiram's, been here forever. Serving up deep fried hot dogs and burgers and all the classic sides. You can eve be order a beer. Small place with two entrances, one where you can stand to eat or pick up to go, another where they offer some tables. Very old school spot, cash only. Great service. If you want a hot dog or burger you gotta stop here.

This is an institution. The place is packed and hopping . The food comes out hot and quickly which was great in a cold day after a hike in the Palisades. I am sure in the summer the places is insanely crowded but there is plenty of room. The burger, hot dogs, fries and onion rings were tasty. The food is good and hits the spot.

Definitely best franks hands down. Chilli is not too shabby. Try it with raw onions. Also, can't go wrong with some sourkrouts and mustard.

I stopped in recently with my girlfriend as I've been wanting to try this place since I first saw Anthony Bourdain come here and say it was his favorite hot dog. But since I became vegan/vegetarian in 2017 I rarely eat meat unless it's a special place or a rare occasion, but over the past month I loosened up a little and ate some here and there so I made it a point to come here due to this being a special place. It's a cool little spot in a great area. I've always loved Fort Lee. The atmosphere is vibey yet fast faced. You feel a sense of urgency while eating here as everyone is in a rush to eat and go. Which I'm down with. We ordered a dog to share with mustard and sauerkraut on it. F****ck it was good! So good that my girlfriend said, "Let's get another one babe!" I loved that! She also added some relish to this one which made it even better. I've had alot of great hot dogs across the United States and I have to say, this is the best one I've had thus far. Highly Recommended and thanks for the great service and vibey atmosphere. I'll be back soon to have more dogs plus I'll make sure to enjoy a beer and a burger the next time as well. Enjoy :P

Worth a special trip? No. Worth a slight detour? Sure. This is quintessential greasy spoon. The chili cheese dog... awesome! (the cheese comes in slice, not liquid form). The burger is full of sodium and delicious with the grilled onions. The onion rings are doused in batter and actually cling to the onion. You can add your own relish and other stuff yourself. Ask for mayo, they have it. These guys have this grub down to a science. Keep your expectations mediocre, and you will be thrilled. Yes the place is a little dirty, no the guys will not put on a Disney dance for you when you come in, yes you will leave satisfied. I visited around 3pm on a Friday, and found parking and seating, no problem. Cash only.

Beefy dog in an old school setting! To be honest I limit the number of hot dogs I consume to maybe 3-4 a year. Without knowing what kind of dog I'm consuming and the list of ingredients I generally veer on the side of avoiding entirely. Having heard that Hiram's makes a great dog for a great price though, I had to check it out. This was no frills, just a great beefy dog with a snappy bite, with just the right amount of cheese and chili layered on top. These aren't the thin, overly salty dogs that you get at most Major League Baseball ballparks. The price for this goodness was $4.25 which in 2024, isn't bad at all. The service was friendly but expect to do a little more on your end if you need accompaniments on your dog. Ketchup and Mustard is available for self serve. My dog also came out on a paper plate which was just fine. I took mine outside to the picnic tables and enjoyed my time munching on this masterpiece. I had not noticed this roadside staple in the past but now that I do, I might be going over my 3-4 hot dogs a year. LOL.
