Stopped at Reily’s for a quick bite to eat. The area is known for so much of a Polish cuisine. That might steal the limelight from this place, nice atmosphere and very clean. The staff is friendly. My order came up quickly and it was fabulous. Being I spent time in Chicago I ordered the Chicago. I can tell you it’s going to be the closest thing you’re gonna get out in Connecticut. Definitely stop in and enjoy a quick bit with some fantastic choices.

Ordered 2 hot dogs and 2 sides of fries. 1. Custom “Naked Hotdogs” with bacon sauerkraut and brown mustard. 2. Dirty Mac Dog Service was friendly, you order at the front and they bring out your food. Would definitely come back and try the over a dozen different hot dogs and burgers.

My wife is a burger snob. We discovered Riley's about 4 weeks ago, although I've passed by the street at least 100 times. What a gem. The employees were super cool. I would rate the burgers 8 out of 10! Oh, and please try their fries; Outstanding flavor! I'm giving this place two thumbs up with a little bit of drool on my bib!

Small little shack with a lot of character. Great spot for very unique hot dogs (as well as burger options). Tried the jalapeño popper dog and my wife had the taco dog. Both very good and we liked the Cajun fries with the spicy sauce it came with. Very affordable too considering the high quality food. Would love to return to try more.

I've been trying all the hot dog places in CT. They all claim to be the best. Imo, rilesys has the best chili cheese dog I've ever had. They nailed the classic flavor. They win hands down. I also tried the small bite burger which is pretty big. It's their take on a big Mac. It was good. The fries too, fresh cut seasoned fries were the bomb. Riley makes some of the best dog/burger joint food you can ask for. Great service, lady who took my order was very friendly today. Can't wait to come back. Next time I am getting two dogs though!
