We enjoyed how whimsy this place was as far as the creation of your "dog" goes! It was new and fun for us since we don't have a hotdog stand/place like this in Memphis. The dog itself was really good, but nothing to completely rave about. read more

Dat Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Dat Dog was the second restaurant I tried in New Orleans and I cannot count the number of times I have returned since. Even after I became a vegetarian, I have still returned for their fries and veggie dogs. The BUNS are top notch. Firm, crisp on the outside, buttery. The DOGS are top notch. I have tried a range, but my favorites are the classic wiener, the kielbasa, and the vegan Italian. There are a hundred different combinations of toppings for these dogs too. You never have to eat the same one twice. The FRIES?? Top. notch. Freret Dat Dog is the most inviting to me, though the quality is consistent across the Magazine and Frenchman locations. I really enjoy the spacious, outdoor picnic bench seating and string lights vibe here. You can enjoy your food with a large group of friends while people watching on Freret. What could be better than dat, dog? read more

Oh how I wish Houston had a decent hot dog shop. When in the mood James Coney will work but Dat Dog takes it to a whole new level. $7.50 for a hot dog? Hell YES! Here's the drill. You pick your dog (wiener, polish, brat, etc), then load it up with whatever toppings you want. And they have them all. And if your confused or stoned, dude at the register will help you decide. Houstonian's would lose their biscuit waiting on someone in front of them in line to decide on a dog. Here.... the people in line were helping make the decision. By time I hit the front I knew only that I wanted a taco style dog. Guy at the register suggested pico, quac, a habenero ranch dressing and shredded cheddar. (see pic) Holy Hot Dog!!!! Mama went traditional with a chili dog with onion and mustard. Both dogs were a ten but the bun made them an 11. I asked the gal behind the bar where the buns came from and all she could say was they were specially made by a small bakery in Houston. Wha What??? They are top cut buns like a lobster roll bun and they are incredibly soft and decadent. She didn't want to give away the secret but if you goggle the telephone number on the boxes for the bread lying around....BOOM! She didn't want me to tell so I won't. read more

My husband and I have been going to this location regularly for years. Not today though. Dat Dog lost our business today because we didn't have a picture of the BACK of our COVID-19 vaccination card to eat OUTSIDE. Not sure if ya'll realize, the back of the vaccination card is blank. Sadly, I don't think we'll be back. Update: Thanks for your response. The vaccination card we have is pzifer, not Moderna. It clearly says so on the front of the vaccination card. Maybe y'all should be checking for "maderna vaccination" cards to determine fakes? There is printed ink on the back of card but no useful information that could tie a card to a specific person. Which means, it's a blank form. Maybe East Jefferson Hospital gave me a fake vaccination along with a fake card. However, I do apologize, I didn't realize businesses were required to determine the legitimacy of vaccination cards. It is upsetting when I'm told I can't have my favorite hotdog for such a stupid reason. FYI: the mandate is for indoor restaurants. We were going to eat outside and we told your worker we wanted to eat outside. From wwno.org: The mandate requires everyone age 12 or older to show proof of at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine or negative PCR test from the past 72 hours to enter indoor restaurants, bars, gyms and entertainment spaces. Acceptable forms of proof are: A CDC-issued vaccination card. A photocopy or digital photograph of the front and back of the card. A vaccine record. read more

Best hotdogs in NOLA, if not in the world!!! Everyone knows that Dat Dog is known for their unique and outstanding sausages. They offer alligator sausage, crawfish sausage, hot sausage, and many different foreign sausages. The fries and chili cheese fries are seriously addicting! Are they putting some special substance in their food??? JK! But anyways, my boyfriend and I shared the alligator sausage hot dog and a plate of fries the other night, and they were amazing! I've also had the hot sausage and crawfish sausage; both are to-die-for! You're allowed to have as many toppings as you want with no extra charge. (The hot dogs are $6). We topped our dog with onions, jalapenos, andouille sauce, relish, and ketchup. So delish! And the fries....OMG I could not stop eating those fries! They were sooooo goood! And I don't know why! Dat Dog is located literally two minutes from my school, so I fortunately am lucky enough to have it whenever I want, although, too much will mean extra lbs! read more

This is the best hotdog I've ever tasted! This place is great. There are many selections of different meats and toppings, but for my first try I thought I would stick with the traditional. I got just a basic hotdog, chili, cheese and onions. It was great. The bread was steamed and then toasted. The chili had a wonderful flavor. The hotdog was delicious on its own, but the chili, cheese and onions complimented it perfectly. Next time, I think I will be a little adventurous and try a different type of sausage and different toppings. The service was friendly and helpful. They made it so I wanted to go back. It was a very good experience. I would recommend "dat" place to anyone "dat" enjoys a great hotdog! read more

Dat Dog - Best Hot Dogs EVER! - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

It was pretty average specialty hot dogs. It may be because I am not the biggest fan of hot dogs, but they were not that buys and our order took a while. I made my own hot dog and their were a lot of options and the menu was a bit overwhelming for a first timer. read more

I brought my Yat Step Mother (Yat refers to a New Orleans Native) and my Cajun father to Dat Dog for the first time. They hate street parking, and they hate trying new things. They are die hard Parkway fans all the way. We were able to park in front of the hardware store across the street. They didn't want to be adventurous, so they just ordered a Bratwurst and a Slovenian Sausage with their favorite toppings. In the end, they loved it the experience 100%. My dad is a master carpenter and he loved the overall design of Dat Dog, what was previously an old gas station or mechanic shop. The service was great, and they were giggling non-stop they were so pleased. I love Dat Dog. I go Chef Style every time. I love the Crawfish Sausage, Duck Sausage, Turducken Sausage, and the Sea Dog. Also, way to go Dat Dog for using iPads as your little cash register screen! CASH ONLY! ATM ON SITE! read more

Let's just say you can't go wrong with anything you choose from their menu. This place never disappoints!!!!!!!! Thanks for not switching up on us. I read more

Waited 50+ minutes only to find out that they lost our order maybe giving it away to other hungry customers that were tired & hungry from waiting. I can't recommend this place until they come up with a way to guarantee you will in fact get the food you prepay in CASH for! Seriously, anyone in the place can raise their hand & say "yes over here!" and steal your order and you will be left starving & the workers will be too busy to care or do anything about it while you are left hungry. read more

The BEST sausage dog I've ever had, crawfish sausage up top and alligator sausage pictures below. The alligator has sour kraut, bacon& mustard. A must stop while listening to live music on Frenchmen St. The drinks are better priced and have more alcohol that drinks on Bourbon. read more

Dat Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

This was my favorite place I ate at when I came down to LA, I had a Alligator sausage and it was THE BEST 'hotdog' I've ever had in my life, not joking. The bread they used was just like Texas toast if it was not Texas toast, it was also very airy and they toasted it which made it have a crisp bite to it. The homemade fries were so good! The workers are so nice and helpful (if you are new). Right when you walk it feels friendly. I highly recommend this place read more

Dat Dog - Embrace your Bliss @DatDog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Dat Dog is Dynamite! I have been for lunch a few times and always leave satisified. I would recomend to let loose when ordering. You pay $5/$6 for a dog but get unlimited toppings, so pile em' on! At first look the bun is intimidating.Upon further review, the bun proves quite worthy for the mass of the toppings you could possibly have on one dog.The fries are definitely easy to split, but I never do, cheese and chilli each cost a Quarter more. To top of the meal I always grab an ice cold coca-cola in the glass bottle, ahhhh. The new location of Dat Dog is amazing. The addition of a bar and new options on the menu are huge bonus to the new location. Worth the wait in line for the dogs. I hope the ordering process speeds up so not always a line. read more

Dat Dog - German braut - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Funky, fun, friendly and bohemian. I'm glad they had a few vegan dog choices. Though my choice was a bit dry it was better than no choice at all. I liked the fun and funky nature of the restaurant. I may not like to see meat served, but it's always a pleasure to be able to eat out with your friends. I applaud this establishment for putting forth a real effort to give choices to vegans. read more

Yum! Mexican Coke available! I love this place!! Can't get enough, ecstatic that I can walk to Dat Dog Express from my new apt! If you are adventurous request "chef style" and let the cook do what he thinks is best for your chosen sausage. For the other kosher-lite people out there-- they offer a 100% beef hot dog! read more

Absolutely love this place! Whether you're hungry for a real meal or a bite between meals, this place is the spot! They have a pretty extensive selection of dogs with several vegetarian/vegan options as well! What's also great is that they have a bunch of specialty dogs with select toppings, or you can build your own and add all of the toppings you want! Also the bun is SO good! I opted for the vegan spicy chipotle dog with a bunch of toppings! Soo good and highly recommend! Perfect for kids too, great indoor and patio seating! read more

Dat Dog - Spicy chipotle dog (vegan) with an assortment of toppings! - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Absolutely the worst service ever. Literally the biggest jerk cooking that I have ever seen. We ordered and waited 25 minutes on an afternoon with few other customers. One of our items didn't arrive and when questioning the cook he says "IT HAS NOT BEEN THAT LONG". First of all yes it has secondly you don't get sassy with customers. There are way too many other fabulous places around here. I would never return and would never recommend. read more

The chicken sandwich was very good. The girl working the counter was very bored. The dogs and the burger were okay but I didn't hear anyone rave about how delicious anything was. The two types of fries--bacon ranch and the étouffée were just okay. I think the nicest thing about this place was the decor--very lively and colorful and friendly. I wish I had something better to say than just okay, but I was under-impressed. read more

Fun, yummy restaurant to try out! Dat dog is a great restaurant to go with a group, especially on a nice day when you can sit outside! I usually get the sea dog (fried cod) with a bunch of their different toppings (if you don't know what to get you can always Chef special it and let them choose), the Apple sage dog, or the buffalo chicken! I've been very happy with all of the above choices! The buns are the best part in my opinion but I've always felt like the dogs were great and I love the choices of toppings! I usually will also get an order of cheese fries for the table. I have mixed feelings about their cheese fries (but I'm obsessed with cheese fries so I may be a little too critical) because the cheese isn't flavorful enough for me and sometimes they are really salty. All in all I always go back and I definitely recommend giving dat dog a shot! Food -- 4 stars Price -- 4.5 stars Service -- 4 stars Atmosphere -- 4 stars read more

Love the variety of dogs from all around the world you can enjoy. But i will say, if you're not really hungry and want a nice delicious little snack (although i eat this as a meal) is order their Tomato Etouffee fries, bomb. Like nothing but the business. They smack off soo hard, i was so happy with life the first time i discovered them. I would give a 5 star but they seriously need to get away from the cash only thing, i mean c'mon, it's 2012.... read more

What a treat - I love duck and the duck sausage was amazing !! I wish they sold them drones to take home !!! So nicely dressed with the toppings ! A real find !!! My husband had the burger shapers like a dog and he loved it too !!! read more

Don't go to Dat Dog. What a rip-off. I ordered "Vegie Supreme" (or something like that.) $12 not counting tip. 20 minutes later it arrives in styrofoam and plastic with plastic utensils. THEN I looked at it. A wimply saugagy looking thing, with no bun. So I asked at the counter and the person said, those dishes don't come with buns (Hot dog with no bun?) But she'll get me a bun. After another extended wait (the bun never arrived), I ate the thing and left. read more

The hype is REAL! Yes it is a hot dog but it is by far the best hot dog I have ever had. I got the sausage dog with grilled onions, jalapeños, cheese and bacon OMG! The best EVER. I went for the normal one this time because I was a little scared but next time I promise to go all in. Also had the fries which were hot and fresh as everything else. The atmosphere is awesome. Topped it off with a Shirley Temple lol. Went by my moms after we left and everybody wanted to know where we went to eat because we smelled some good. Definitely a nice place to bring friends visiting looking for some authentic cuisine. read more

Dat Dog - This is a sausage hotdog with bacon, cheese, jalapeños and grilled onions! Amazing! - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

These guys have outstanding sausages and a great beer list - ask Lexi about her beer favorites and you will get a fantastic explanation!!!

Nom nom nom nom nom. This place is just freaking good. Smoked sausage (go Harahan!) with guacamole, yellow mustard, ketchup, onions, tomatoes, various other toppings depending on my mood--oh how I love you. The buns are good, the dogs are good, the toppings are good. The new location is HUGE (at least compared to the old one that was basically in a closet) and will probably be amazing outdoor eating during the Fall/Spring (wait...we have a Fall or Spring in New Orleans?!). It's still cash only (boo, I'm too lazy for cash). The fries are so freaking good, I haven't even gotten around to ordering them with toppings--the plain ones are still rocking my world. And one order of fries is enough to split between 2 or 3...perfect! I took my brother here for his first meal when he came to visit this month and he looooved it. You just need to eat here, ok? Ok. read more

If you like hot dogs, you must try this place! This place takes the definition of hot dogs to another level - new orleans level. When in doubt about the toppings, order the chef's special, you won't be disappointed. The ranch, bacon, and cheese fries can potentially give you a heart attack, but they are well worth it!! read more

Dat Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I'll confess: for the longest time my knowledge of hot dogs consisted of various flavors of Oscar Mayer products. Dat Dog has changed all that. $5 might seem a big much for a hot dog, but trust me--you're definitely getting what you pay for. Two dogs can fill up even a big eater like me. I'd love this place even more if they had more seating. read more

I am a fan of the Chicago Dog and the vacancy cheddar ranch fries. Pretty quick food and good hotdogs. This is my favorite location, as the others tend to char the hotdogs more, which I am not into, however some people are. So if you're into a more charred dog, try the Magazine location. read more

Dude you will never know how fucking great that was. Absolutely the best things I've ever had in my mouth. Fucking amazing

Dat Dog is a fun place to eat. This location has a huge outdoors area that in the right weather can make it feel like you are on vacation someplace hipster for a while. It is airy and open with brightly colored tables, chairs, and umbrellas. The only drag is the occasional miserable employee. I do NOT like hot dogs, but with the different options I always find something pretty yummy to eat. I'm not going to rave about the value as lets face it, these are hot dogs or some other type of protein in a split bun, and it can be pricey. For three people to eat, it is around 40 dollars. This means despite the fact it is a hot dog stand you can have a full blown dining experience for the same price. The menu is creative and I have never had anything that was just terrible. Chef's Choice is not the safest option,but it has generated some of the best tasting fish in a bun meals I have ever had. Considering its emerging place as a New Orleans icon it is worth trying. Plan to go for lunch one day and sit outside and watch the city go by. read more

So I don't know how I've been to Dat Dog so many times and have not yet reviewed it. Then I realized. I like to post photos of the places I review. Unfortunately (fortunately?) with Dat Dog, as soon as I get my food, I cannot help but scarf it down-- therefore, no pictures with this post... unless you want a picture of an empty basket. If you read my reviews, you know I'm gluten free. Whenever I go to Dat Dog, I tell them to make me the best *bleeping* gluten free dog they can make. Each time, the chefs come up with something different, something delicious, and something that doesn't ruin the rest of my day. Dat Dog is also pretty affordable. I don't know many places in New Orleans that can FILL two hungry bellies for under $20 and also have fresh ingredients. One more note: Dat Dog is super animal friendly. Dat Dog is a little outside of my puppy and my usual walking range, so if we do pass, she's usually out of breath and I'm usually overheated. Dat Dog has a shaded patio, waitresses that constantly are bringing puppy customers fresh water (and treats if you say it's ok). There's even enough space for the dogs to spread out if your dog gets intimidated or territorial (can I get an AMEN!) If you are new to the city or visiting from out of town, I highly recommend that you check out Dat Dog. read more

Food - Good Service - Fair Speed - a bit slow Atmosphere - Eclectic First time diner - arrived for lunch. We had an alligator sausage and a hot sausage. Both were tasty. The list of toppings is rather overwhelming, but the person taking orders at the bar was helpful in making suggestions. My big issue - there were only 3 small groups in the restaurant when we were there, yet it took about 25 minutes to get our sausages. That seemed like a long wait to me. Since we had an appointment to make, we thought a sausage order would be a quick lunch stop. I'd try Dat Dog again. read more
