Texas Wieners expands to South Jersey

South Philly institution Texas Wieners (1426 Snyder Ave., 215-465-8635) is expanding into Collingswood, taking over what was Sportz Dogz (dear God ... ) in the LumberYard Condos complex at 8 Powell Lane. There'll be a grand opening gala on September 12, featuring entertainment from the South Philly String Band. And a clown.

As a Collingswood resident, I'm pretty stoked about this.  I never made it to Sportz Dogz but hopefully this place will get more buzz and do well in the spot, which is definitely off the beaten path for anyone who isn't familiar with the area.

I stopped in on their first day (8/31/09) and it was good to see so many customers enjoying the food.  They serve an awesome breakfast and where else can you go in Collingswood and order the signature dish for UNDER 2 BUCKS !!  The place is clean and bright and the owner is a great guy.  They're sure to become a fixture in the town.  I'll be back with my friends soon.  Good luck Russ.
