A new hot‑dog spot is about to fire up Main Street — and it’s coming from a familiar local name.
Harry Clayton, owner of Harry’s Smokin’ BBQ, is launching a brand‑new restaurant called Glizzy’s by Harry, located at 49 Main St., Toms River. The downtown eatery will focus on hot dogs (aka “glizzies”), cheesesteaks, smashburgers, fresh‑cut fries, and other comfort‑food favorites — expanding Clayton’s footprint beyond his popular Route 37 BBQ shop.

TOMS RIVER — Hot dog lovers, mark your calendars: a new comfort‑food destination is gearing up to open in the heart of downtown. Local restaurateur Harry Clayton, best known for running the township favorite Harry’s Smokin’ BBQ, is preparing to debut his newest venture, Glizzy’s by Harry, at 49 Main Street. The restaurant will specialize in classic American street‑food staples — including hot dogs, cheesesteaks, smashburgers, and fresh‑cut fries — with a menu designed for quick bites, family visits, and late‑night cravings.
Clayton’s BBQ restaurant on Route 37 has earned a loyal following for its ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and casual atmosphere. With Glizzy’s, he aims to bring that same energy to downtown Toms River, offering a fast‑casual spot centered around comfort food and fun.
While an official opening date has not yet been announced, signage and early branding hint at a playful, modern vibe. The name “Glizzy’s” comes from the slang term for hot dogs — a nod to internet culture and the dish at the center of the menu.
