Brighton Hot Dog Shoppes

We came to this BHDS last night because we thought they offered fried chicken. That was not to be the case. We were told they no longer carried it. I know, it sounds schmaltzy; the idea of a young couple looking for fried chicken two nights before Christmas only to find something more profound. It sounds like a musical or a Kapra film. Or was it tacky, like something the Seinfeld gang would create a comedically, self-absorbed situation out of? "Oh you just want to Yelp something," Kay said to me, flabbergasted that my devotion to Yelp won't take a holiday.Our minor disappointment and squabbling aside, this BHDS has all the same quality, cheap, quick-serve items you'll find at the one on Constitution Boulevard, which I've been to a number of times. It astonishes me just how much food you can get here for a relatively small amount of money. What astonishes me further is just how possible it is to serve such fresh and good food for such reasonable prices en masse.The King and the Clown freeze everything. BHDS doesn't. They prepare everything, including their fresh-cut fries, fresh-ground burger patties, and chili, everyday at a distribution center and fire it off to all their locations. That alone makes it easy to forget that each BHDS is a a franchise when you go to one, and I'm so glad that I finally got to discover BHDS this year. They are a chain to be reckoned with. This one closes at 9PM. Despite us not finishing our food until 9:05, nobody kicked us out. Ya see, we thought they were open 'til 10. Ooops! However, the friendly staff didn't care and were just glad that we chose to give them some last-minute business on a wintery pre-jubilee evening.Oh, you're asking if we did in fact find something more profound than fried chicken. Ummmm...lemme get back to yas on that. Ok? A year from now it'll come to me, I swear.

By far my favorite location and its not just because I worked at this one for 3 years. Beaver Falls is one of the original locations for the hot dog shoppe and you can tell by the excellent service and the pride that they take in their store. The orders are right and delicious every time, they really put time and effort into preparing the food just the way you want it, not just rushing to throw it together like some of the other stores. The staff is always extremely friendly weather you're a regular or its your first time there, and the management has worked so hard to get this place back to where it needed to be. Now if they would just bring breakfast back it would be perfect!!

Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe reminded me of those old fashioned malt and burger places. The downtown restaurant had a basic decor with an emphasis on the basics - hot dogs, fries and milk shakes. I tried the chili cheese dogs. They were good, but I'd skip the cheese next time and just have the chili and onions. The chili cheese fries were a winner. Besides the value and good basic menu are the friendly service and perfect kids sizes. I'll be happy to make a stop at Brighton's the next time I pass through Beaver Falls, PA.

The hot dogs are good. But expect to wait. The atmosphere is very greasy, dirty, all together just not good. Employees especially managers are quite rude.

Had there chili cheese dog and have to say it was pretty darn good. Great prices too!!!

I'm a health nut, so this kind of joint would never be my first option to eat. But being forced to eat here by my family, I found there food to be very tasty. If you're want something with grease, cheese and chili, this is the spot for you.
