- A Connecticut tradition since 1928, Blackie’s is a family-owned business known for its famous hot pepper relish, which has even been sent to the moon and back! Blackie’s is a place where generations of families come to enjoy owner Rick Flavin’s philosophy of keeping it simple...and delicious. With their own unique custom hot dogs from Martin Rosol’s Meats, this small menu establishment only offers the finest burgers, cheeseburgers, and hotdogs, all served with a side of potato chips.
The only thing I miss about Connecticut.
Best dogs in the state.
Not only the best dogs and relish but their hamburger meat is delicious
My favorite comfort food is hot dogs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
My office window looks out at the Martin Rosol factory.
Sad to hear all the negative comments. I was raised in FL but have deep CT roots. Mom n Daddy are gone now but grew up eating blackies. I have fond memories of my parents taking us every year we vacationed in CT.
Not sure what negative comments you're talking about but last time I had blackies was very recently and it was just as awesome as I remember. Snappy hotdogs, perfect pepper relish and mustard, great prices.
Beef hot dogs are hands down the best tasting.
Sadly, the relish is not what it used to be. Its definitely commercialized and doesnt have the kick it used to. Havent been there is a year or so so I dont know about the change from hummels to Rosal so Im not sure if the dogs taste any different or not.
maybe your taste buds just got older as you got older? The relish still tastes awesome to me. Sometimes as we age, things taste different, even though the food stayed the same.
@@nicknickson3650 Well, if, as I get older, my taste buds think shit doesn't have as much of a kick as it used to, that's not exactly a good thing, is it? It means that it is really lame now. No, I know how it used to be and I know how it is now. Not the same.
@@FrankRobertsJr hmmm sad to hear. I only first tried blackies less than 10 years ago and it still tastes great to me. I've never tried their burgers, though. If you're a local, check out Super Duper Weenie in Fairfield.
@@nicknickson3650 Thanks Nick. I didn't say it doesn't taste good though. It is good still but Its lost some of the fire that it used to have and I'm talking 20 plus years ago. I actually bought two jars to use as a base for my relish.
Your (everyone's) taste buds change as you age. The recipe is the same.
WTF would you try the burger first?!
hotdog stand...eats a burger first ??
Sorry, if this doesn’t meet your community standards. Sarah Rosal is not crazy about these hotdogs. She makes them because you’re a big customer and business is business. And the relish is missing a few ingredients not great.
My family always talks about when they used to make the relish outside
They only recently went to Rosal so no wonder. They always used Hummel
Hamburgers here are a have a great taste. Hot Dogs are way too small, not worth the price. The place Is not a up to date scenery so If your lookng for lush It aint here.
I like Frankies better. Just my opinion.
Great place!
The worst hotdogs I've ever had. I'm a Chef [retired] and a native of NYC where we have the best food in the country and Blackies wouldn't even stand a chance against one of our street vendors. The people of Cheshire just buy into the whole hotdog Nazi scenario...It must be good if they tell me what I can and can't have on it right? Wrong! Like I said the worst!
Best hot dogs are in Chicago bro. NY overexaggerates about all their food.
@@mrtnite9780 I never said NY dogs were better than Chicago dogs. I'd take a Chicago dog anytime. Just saying Blackies dogs aren't impressive and I don't get all the hype about them.
NAZI? loool. You sound like their enemies. Also NYC food is super overrated. CT has better pizza than NYC too. Stay mad boomer
blackies went DOWN HiLL> Inferior quality since the original owners passed. Won't eat them now.
I worked there in the 1970s when I was 9th grade. I think Mrs. Flavin payed me $1.50 an hr. cash under the table. I mixed up the relish and did alot of yard work at the house behind the restaurant on the hill where she lived.
R.I.P. Mrs.Flavin.
