    Bratwurst with sauerkraut, ketchup, and mustard
    Rodney W.

    On a recent Sunday bike ride near the West Side Market, we stopped in to see what's cookin'. Not much was cookin', but there were a lot of meal ingredients for sale. One of the few places serving food was Frank's Bratwurst. I asked my son if he wanted a hot dog and I bought him a bratwurst. The brat was really tasty. It would've been nice to have a wider selection of toppings, but it was of good quality and taste nonetheless.

    So simple but so good. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful brat on a great simple roll with brown mustard, and for only $4, you can't beat it. Love the west side market and all their stands and this place is one of the best, they are very nice and super quick to make your food, and it's great how you can walk right outside and sit on a bench to eat. You can get a hard or soft roll with mustard, ketchup, or sauerkraut. Love how they perfected one simple food to sell, and they perfected it, definitely will be back!

    If I make a bad joke about this picture I know you will glare at me so I wont.

    There's a song about these incredible brats inside the West Side Market (not to be confused with the Bratz inside any given shopping mall). It's called "Relax", and it's by "Frankie Goes To Cleveland." Relax! Get Bratwurst! When you want eat sausage! Relax! Don't share it! You'll be left with none! Relax! Don't drop it! Then you're left with none! But please save me some! What to get: A Brat What not to give birth to: A Brat What my girlfriend is: A Brat One of the most famous and yet unheralded, underrated places in Cleveland. Unheralded as in, how the f*** does this legend only have 25 reviews? Are you kidding me Yelp? That's what I mean when I say Yelp doesn't always "get it." If this was the gourmet hipster grilled cheese place (cough Melt cough) it'd have 573 reviews by now. AT LEAST. But Frank's. Oh Frank's. My Frank's. So delicious. So unheralded. And that's what you get from a place named after Frank E Muniz, Frank Ophile, and Frank Salott. In the corner of the world famous and historic Old West Side Market, this little stand is serving up the most delicious bratwurst on rolls that you can imagine. The people giving this place 3 stars or less, I just can't with you. I just can't. 5 star price, 5 star service, and one of the best Brats I've ever had. Don't forget to add sexy spicy mustard to it. It's just soooo good. Still, what do you expect from a place named after Frank Zappa, Frank A Sessment, and Frank N Stein. Perhaps there might be one Brat seller hidden away somewhere in the state of Wisconsin that is superio, but for the most part you will not find a bratwurst that tastes this good. Charcoal Inn South (Sheboygan, WI) is probably my fave, but that's because of the massive fresh dollops of butter they put on there. For the Brat itself, this one is as good as any, and better than the vast majority. If you are in the WSM and not vegetarian, you simply, unequivocally have to try one. Anyway, what else do you expect from a place named after Frank Sinatra, Frank Ocean, and Frank O Phone. They're also filling and dirt cheap, so as I say, if you are in Cleveland you simply must give it a try. I know you will be possibly more drawn to be same hipster stuff that you can find in Williamsburg and San Francisco, but bear with me and come to the West Side Market and try this - along with a lemon sugar crepe from du luxe, and some spicy jerky from czuchraj. And if you like those three life-changing items, hmu and I'll give you a nice list of other life-changing Cleveland eats... and there are many. But what do you expect from a place named after Frank F Urter, Frank Sfornuttin, and Frank Leemadeer. I don't give a damn.

    $3 for a bratwurst sammie. $4 for a bratwurst sammie and sauerkraut. I wasn't a huge fan of the bread it came on because it got pretty soggy halfway through. But the bratwurst itself was pretty good. And for $4, that's pretty cheap! Tip - don't forget the mustard!

    When I'm at the Westside Market you will find me standing in line for one of Frank's Bratwurst. I like to keep it simple so I can enjoy the flavors of the bratwurst. You definitely want to enjoy this on the fresh hard roll it is the only way to go, don't worry about it being too hard or tough it's always fresh, tender with just enough chew to the roll add a little mustard and walk way so you won't be tempted to order another. Ordered plain its $3.50 you'd be hard pressed to find a better one at any price.

    Best bratwurst ever!
    The Travel C.

    Quite possibly the best bratwurst ever. The brats were cooked perfectly and were served on a hard roll that was baked to perfection! The bratwurst were so good we went back for a second round! The people behind the counter were so nice and friendly. We will definitely be back for more.

    It's simple (soft or hard roll, kraut or no kraut) but that's what makes it so amazing and classic.

    I live in Texas, but my husband works in Mentor, and has been telling me about Scooter's World's…read moreFamous Dawg House for weeks now. This weekend, I visited him and when he asked where I wanted to eat, I said, "DUH Scooters!" I love hot dogs! We weren't the only ones with that idea, and we had to circle the parking lot several times before finally finding a place to park. After that, we joined a line that stretched out the door. Once it was our turn, we both ordered the 'long' chili dog and got a 'tiny' fry and a banana shake to share. We were lucky enough to find a place to sit at the counter. While we waited I enjoyed the whimsical wall murals and people watching. Once we received our food, I happily dug in. The chili on the hot dog was unique, with corn mixed in. We were warned it would be spicy, but as Texans, we didn't find it spicy at all--though we did think it was quite tasty. The "tiny" order of fries was delicious and definitely not small in our eyes, though after seeing the massive portions others received, I suppose it was. We kept eating and eating them and still couldn't finish them. The banana shake was the perfect ending to our meal. I hope I get to eat at Scooters again. There are other hot dogs I would like to try.

This restaurant is housed in a circa 1970s Taco Bell, which is pretty cool. The place felt dirty on our visit. And there was not a restroom. Is that not a law in Ohio? (Yes. It's a law.) Though the service from the lady working the whole place was very friendly, she was in over her head. Not her fault, necessarily. Still, several of us waited on our orders way longer than we should have. Further, she pretty much screwed up everything we ordered, except for the tater tots. I said "No Onions." multiple times. What happens? The hot dogs come with onions, including the Hillbilly Dog; the onions are hard to discern when piled atop slaw. Needless to say, my Hillbilly Dog ended up being a chili dog with a few bites of cabbage. Further, onions littered my mustard dog, which was also dressed with ketchup. In other words, it was Murphy's Law day at this dive. The 'snappy' dogs here are OK. The standard dogs are fine too. One of my buns was wet and gummy down one side ... not sure why, but I pulled out the hot dog and ate it on its own. The chili here is an abomination. It's sweeter than pumpkin pie, which is a huge no-no. It's as if the person who developed the recipes here is missing tastebuds. Finally, I have spent less money on lunch at a steakhouse. The hot dogs here are more expensive than burgers at any chain, including Whataburger, In-and-Out, or Shake Shack. My tots were $6. An order of tots at Sonic are a couple of bucks. While the restaurant owner has every right to set the price point, I won't be paying Disney World prices for (disappointing) Disney World food at a dirty joint housed in an old Taco Bell without a bathroom. Good luck, guys.
