SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! Shon is AWESOME!!! My significant other surprised me on our way home from work. He asked me to follow a few directions and we made it to Franks-A-Lot just 30 minutes before close. I was excited! I was craving a yummy corn dog, not a gas station one. Anyhoo, we showed up just before close and most dog choices were sold out (because they are SOOO YUMMY). After talking with Shon and explaining this was our first time here, he dug around in his remaining inventory to find us each a dog we would like. Yay! OMG! SOOOOO GOOOOOD!! You must stop by!! We will be coming back to try others, but will get here earlier to make sure we get a choice. Yummm!! Open 7 days a week, 11am to 7pm! Must go! read more

Maybe I was unlucky. Maybe it was something else I ate, but this tasted amazing until my stomach decided to revolt. I did notice a lack of hand washing and gloves which the team inside made the hotdogs (toppings pinched and sprinkled on) and fries (again, hands straight in the bowl) and then running food to customers in the adjacent picnic table area; all without even looking at a sink. I've heard really positive things about Franks-a-Lot, but my experience makes me say No-Franks. read more

I've never tried this place but it's been around since 1996 and I guess my mom used to go here during her lunch break when she worked at Willoughby hearing aid center, but it was around not too far down the road. Great hot and it's hard to find a good hotdog place that really serves up the flavor the size and good quality like this and the milkshakes are delicious as well. Owner seems really friendly and I'll definitely be back to get more Frank's. read more

Went today and the service was really weird. The employee literally judged my order, which was uncomfortable enough, but what really bothered me was the hygiene. He wiped his sweaty forehead with his bare hand and then immediately made my hot dog without washing his hands or putting on gloves. I understand this isn't a full-service restaurant and it's more of a small warm food counter, but basic food safety still matters. I ended up just paying for my hotdog and throwing it away because I couldn't stomach it. read more

Fast service, pretty good pricing, quality ingredients and seating! It also looks like they have a drive thru now which is very convenient!

I finally visited the iconic Franks-a-Lot on Sunday afternoon on a walk to the Laurelhurst Theatre. The two people working there were just the sweetest folks, very helpful and friendly. I appreciated their recommendations for a first time visitor. Quick service for my standard all beef corn dog. It was very good but I would have preferred the batter to be a bit crunchier. Delicious nonetheless. Sat outside enjoying the gorgeous autumn afternoon. Would definitely stop here again. read more

I finally tried Franks-A-Lot and it did not disappoint! They offer a vegan frank (tofu hot dog) and a vegan Italian frank, plus gluten-free options. Their corndog batter contains milk, so you won't find vegan corndogs here but their vegan franks were delicious. You can load up on free toppings like mustard, onions, jalapeños, and (for vegetarians and non-vegans) cheese. The stand is right next to Whole Foods and there is an outdoor area to enjoy your food. Staff was super friendly! read more

Food: I love corn dogs so I was excited to try this corn dog it's an All Beef Frank (he let me know I got the last one:) it is really good and juicy. You can tell it's a homemade corn dog batter but, if he was to add a little sweetness it would be amazing!! Service: I was greeted immediately and, even though I looked at the menu I knew what I wanted. It was very quick and fast service. I was asked if I wanted anything besides and corn dog any ketchup and mustard (I am just a mustard gurl:). My order was done and he thank me for stopping by! Ambiance: Was very nice and quiet even through its on a busy street. There is plenty of covered seating and a decent amount of parking only for Frank a lot! I found this place on Yelp so I knew I had to try it and, I can say it didn't disappoint and, I would highly recommend this divey restaurant! read more

Holy hot dog! This place has been on my radar ever since I went to India house (across the street). Went Friday evening around 630pm. Had a veggie chilli dog and my partner and I split a corn dog (just to try) with an Italian seasoned veggie dog. Oh my goodness the chili dog was so good, PACKED with red beans and the onions added the perfect crunch. It was so much food, I did have to eat a lot of the beans before I could pick up the dog and eat it but hey I ain't complaining! The corn dog was pretty good, I kind of wished the corn meal part was thicker but the veggie dog itself was an explosion of flavor. They have plenty of seating outside and it looked like even a drive through. The hot dog were also ready super fast. read more

Love this place!! Too much probably lol they have so many kinds of dogs, and just the right amount of toppings to choose from. The service is fast and to the point which I personally adore. And I love the pictures all around the booth! Very cute. Great hot dogs, chill atmosphere, nice and easy, I literally have no complaints. I recommend to anyone who wants a good hot dog. read more

Great place for a good quality hot dog! We were shopping at Whole Foods when we decided we wanted a snack, so of course we had to try the hot dog stand - it's right in the parking lot! The dogs were dogs - nothing too special but hit the spot for sure. I love that you can choose your own kind of dog and customize what toppings you want, or choose a specialty dog with recommended toppings, like the Chicago style dog we got. Both were solid, and I'd definitely come back here for my hot dog craving. The staff was so friendly as well, and FAST. They were slinging dogs left and right. read more

I've been here a couple of times with my dad. If you want a chili dog, corn dog etc, this is the place to go to. They have different kind of beefs you can choose from, the owners were pretty cool and yes it is a to-go place or you can choose out door seating. I would definitely come back here again and probably order more than what I did last time. read more

Very good service at this little hot dog joint in whole foods parking lot, been here longer then the whole foods but I don't remember what the store used to be. Overall still good prices for a good quality product and the fact that you can make anything into a corn dog is fun. I prefer to get the regular dogs most of the time but we have always been happy with both options. read more

Margo, im not able to message you in the app on Yelp. You'd have to message me. I would appreciate that.

Hot diggity dog! I think I've just found my new favorite fast food snack shack! Franks-A-Lot is the "rill dill", folks: cheap, quick, delicious brats and krauts, savory, spicy or vegan (ugh!), on a stick or in a bun, all of them packing that potent pork piquancy, and customizable to your preferences, with every condiment you can imagine (although WAY too many people were ordering ketchup with their dogs, if you ask me)! Whatever your sausage selection, you are going to relish it...with or without relish! There's also an excellent selection of sides, salads, sodas to accompany your massive weiner: we sampled the potato salad (pretty sure it's just Reser's in a plastic container), along with our Red Hot Chicago Style, and a Spicy Oktoberfest corndog. My wife couldn't finish hers, as it was simply too much meat for her to handle at once, so she took half home to save it for later. As for my Red Hot Chicago, the only complaint is that it comes so overloaded with toppings, it's impossible to tackle it without a knife and fork. Let me be frank: if you find yourself longing for a linguiça luncheon, a snack sausage on a stick, or a moist meat missile, then look no (frank)furter! Frank-you-very-much! read more

A true institution and gem in Portland. Since 1993 Margo has been the owner and making happy customers, she just added three more today. We had 3 different dogs fries and shake everything was great and very reasonable price. Clean tables outside and really enjoyed enjoy talking with Margo hearing the history. Great family owned place worth a visit for sure!! read more

Yesterday I visited Franks after years of not going. I even recommended my coworker go as she's new to Oregon and was looking for local spots to try. It's no coincidence that my coworker, husband, and myself have all been sick since eating here. Upon reading recent review where Margo mentioned "reminding employees to wash their hands" I am absolutely disgusted. Food-borne illness is not a joke or something to play with. Do better. read more

Was pretty good for a hotdog I guess. Nothing special just good. Would I go back? Probably.

The only issue I have with this place is decision fatigue - there are so many great looking options that I have the hardest time deciding what to get. Looks like I'll have to come back time and time again! (oh no!) read more

I was recommended to try this place before I move away from Portland. Finally made it there today. I had the bacon cheddar dog and the chili cheese fries. Both were delicious. The service was super friendly highly recommend. It's a very cute location. Outside seating only but they do also have a drive-through. I've heard there's secret items that are not on the menu, but I decided to go with the hotdog dog of the day. read more

Do not get a corndog here. It was super greasy and limp and the batter was flavorless- no corn flavor, sort of like a thin greasy bun on a big greasy hot dog. The sausage are likely a lot better but that was such a miss it still makes me shudder. read more

After getting the healthy stuff at Whole Foods, this is a great pit stop, I mean, they have gluten-free corn dogs (they share oil) so it's good for you. Speaking of the gf corndog is not like those you find in the super market, well not as fluffy but tastes amazing. I do suggest waiting until it has cooled a bit. The hot dog is also amazing and HUGE. I thought I was getting a snack and it ended up being a lite dinner. The couple running place are very nice. There is also seating around to enjoy, if you don't want to wait. Next time I'm around, I'm trying the chili cheese fries next!!! read more

Decided to try this stand since it's close to my house and who doesn't love a hotdog! Along with recently seeing signs that a local business needed some love this slow season. however I was mistaken the staff made me feel like an inconvenience with my order and questions. Sad to see another small business struggling and would love to be a consistent customer but will not be returning. Ordered two dogs and was very disappointed. Very oily and bland overall, it was a cold dog and bread and not very good presentation either as you can see from the picture. Took one bite of both and the rest ended up in the trash :( read more
