"The only hot dog brand my family has eaten since I was a little kid, and it's still #1 in my household!"
— Galanda
"I grew up in southeastern NC and we had them and they are hands down the best hot dogs in the world. I’ve been in 32 countries and eaten hot dogs from Russia to Argentina and Bright Leaf is the best."
— G.A.
"These hot dogs and all of Bright Leaf Products are the best under the sun and on the planet. I dearly love the distinctive flavor these hotdogs have. They are excellent whether eaten cooked or plain. Just toss between a slice of bread, roll it, and enjoy!! Their bologna with a fresh tomato and mayo makes a sandwich a sandwich. Great Job Bright Leaf! and Carolina Packers."
— Mike

"These hot dogs taste just as I remember from decades ago. Place them in a frying pan and cook them till they're well done. Then place the hot dogs on a piece of bread with mustard and cheese and chilli and the world is one. Thanks"
— Curtis
"I was raised in North Carolina and these were the only hot dogs we ever ate! I moved out of state and stopped eating hot dogs completely because there were disgusting options only available. I finally ordered online and had Bright leaf hot dogs, Red Hots and chili shipped. FINALLY a hot dog worth eating! I will be ordering these online regularly from now on. Feels like home, reminds me of good times and so very tasty! Thank you!"

Bright Leaf products are the best I’ve had in my lifetime I grew up with it and live in the tri state and still you can’t beat their product those hot dogs , chopped Barbeque, red hot sausage, Bacon, chili, etc are the best . I order when I’m out nothing like Bright Leaf.
I grew up in NC all my family lives in Archer Lodge and Wendell so Bright leaf hotdogs has always been a staple in my life of 65 years. Now live in fl can't get them here so have to order them on line. Been since 2014 was really craving them. Soon as got my shipment I ate 4 right out of package as I can with these. YUMMY sure missed that taste. Keep making them and never stop shipping them to us that can't get them.
Living the n Virginia now, and bright Leaf reminds me of being back home in the Carolinas!
I only buy Brightleaf Hotdogs for my catering company (Wilkerson Catering & Co). Our customers want the best and we give them just that and so proud of it being a NC Product as well!!
These Smoked sausages are the best in the land !! First had them at Big Sams in Va Beach . Now they are a highly sought after item at our Restaurant.
Thanks for the awesome product. 10 Stars
Best hot dogs on the planet. We found you on tik tok and placed an order in February. Absolutely the best. I’m not a bologna fan but yours is amazing. Hot dogs are top notch and sausage was great as well. Best red hots that I’ve ever had. We will be reordering asap.
Me and my family would always have the red hot sausages whenever we visit family in NC and would always bring some home in NJ … then I found bright leaf and I am so excited that. Can have them whenever I want❤️
Thank you so much
My first order and I am not disappointed, my family loved the bacon, our friends all loved the hotdogs at our retirement party and the bologna was a gift for my friends retirement. Awesome people and great product. Wish my local stores carried it. Will be back for more business
#1… brightleaf’s products are superb
#2.. received my Easter Ham today, wonderfully packed and I’m fighting off the urge to dive in right now.
#3…soon to be placing order for 10 lb box of hotdogs…debating on reg,or larger size dog.
Will continue to order every holiday! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Let me preface my review by saying that I'd rather have a good hot dog or fried bologna sandwich than a ribeye steak. In my travels thru North Carolina I have enjoyed Bright Leaf hot dogs at many stops along the way. Several weeks ago I found the website to place an order. At 70 years old I can finally have the perfect hot dog or bologna sandwich from my home. My next order will be large. Their products are absolutely the best!
