Boston Hot Dog Company - Salem

Edit: As of summer 2020, the restaurant is under new ownership and has not reopened due to COVID-19, so this review may not be accurate. Before closing, they had slightly increased prices for vegetarian options. They offered many veggie options, with at least six types of veggie dogs available at all times. They used Field Roast and possibly Tofutti products. They are able to make a variety of menu items vegan. I typically order the dogs in Chicago or New York style with veggie sausage, and they are always delicious. Usually, they ask if you want oil on the rolls instead of butter (if vegan).

Small light live hot dogs...not bad! but you might have starved after we got the chicago dog.

Great location and price. menu has its own option called the mutt for only five dollars, and I was pleasantly surprised that they did not charge to replace a veggie dog. they can also replace a veggie dog for everything on the menu. I'm pretty sure it's not vegan.

As of summer 2020, this restaurant is under new ownership and has not yet reopened due to COVID-19. Before closing, they slightly increased prices for their Veggie options, which include at least six different veggie dogs available at any time. They offer Lightlife Smart Dogs as their main veggie option and have removed other veggie replacement options from the menu. It is disappointing that the once environmentally friendly place did not take into account these accommodations under the new ownership. The Veggie options can be customized to be vegan by substituting Veggiewurst and using oil on the rolls instead of butter. The Chicago or New York style dogs are always amazing and can be made vegan upon request.

I checked them after the gym of a day and they have a great selection of hot dog styles and will vegan with a lot of vegan sausages. the person who worked there was very knowledgeable and accommodating in terms of vegan options.
