New Bedford Finally Gets the Late-Night Hot Dog Joint It Deserves
All hail the "Glizzy gods."
It’s been a minute since downtown New Bedford had a true late-night hot dog joint, and this summer, that dry spell officially ends. Across the street from Candela Cucina, something bold, beefy and downright bomb is coming in hot.
Meet BOMBDOG: Your New Favorite Comfort Food Spot
From the creative crew behind PLAY Arcade comes BOMBDOG, a brand-new hot dog destination setting up shop at 79 N Water Street – and let’s just say, this isn’t your average “dog in a bun” situation.

These bad boys are steamed or grilled to perfection, nestled in buns so pillowy soft they could start a boy band. Whether you're stumbling out of the bar after last call or craving something nostalgic and delicious mid-day, BOMBDOG has your back.
Classic, Vegan, and Linguica-Loaded...Oh My!
BOMBDOG has something for everyone.
Feel like keeping it classic? Covered. Want something plant-based? Done. Craving a spicy linguica dog that hits harder than a throwback Saturday morning cartoon marathon? You're in luck.
Stack It. Load It. Sauce It.
This spot doesn’t skimp.
Pile your dog high with freshly-made toppings, crack open a cold can of soda, and grab your go-to snack. Oh, and save room for dessert, because BOMBDOG is bringing the ice cream truck vibes with frozen treats that'll have your taste buds yelling, “Cowabunga!”

Affordable, Fun, and Unapologetically Delicious
Not only will BOMBDOG keep your wallet happy, it’s serving up that nostalgic comfort food energy we’ve all been missing. Whether you're looking for a midday munch or a post-bar bite, this is the place to be.
Stay Tuned for Opening Day
Opening soon, BOMBDOG is gearing up to become the Downtown spot for late-night eats and comfort food cravings. Follow @bombdognb on social media for grand opening details, giveaways and some seriously saucy sneak peeks.
Because this summer, the dogs bite back.
