Legendary NJ hot dog joint to return to Ocean County

A Jersey Shore institution is returning to Ocean County.

WindMill Hot Dogs got approval to open a new store in Brick, at the corner of Routes 70 & 88.

The site is across the street from the previous site WindMill occupied in Brick for more than 30 years, before it shut down in 2019.

Brick’s planning board approved the plan to open the 1,032 square foot restaurant that will feature a takeout window and outdoor seating. The site used to be a T-Mobile store. The building will not be expanded and will have 23 indoor seats.

“They are also looking to incorporate some areas for outdoor seating for the times when weather permits,” David H. Boesch, the engineering consultant on the project told Brick Shorebeat.
