1. It's a cultural icon 2 if the weather cooperates and it's a beautiful sunny day, it's a great way to Cap off a trip to Coney Island 3. The hot dogs are pricey at six dollars but onions and sauerkraut are included. 4. Honestly, the hotdog was perfect - bun was crispy, hotdog was perfectly cooked with a nice char on it and the sauerkraut just elevated everything. This is the standard for what a hotdog should taste like. I would recommend this place every time. Despite it being very busy, we were able to get in line and get our food within 10 minutes read more

Nathan's may be famous for its hot dogs and its iconic eating competition, but the prices at the beer stand are outrageous. We ordered two beers: a Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner for $11 and a Coney Island Mermaid IPA for $14: they were both served in simple, flimsy plastic cups. Charging that much for draft beer to go is, in my opinion, excessive and feels like taking advantage of customers simply because they're in a famous destination. I understand paying a premium at a popular attraction, but these prices are difficult to justify. The beer was good, but certainly not worth what we paid. Ambiance is also a no- dirty tables outside and place is filthy. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. I won't be purchasing drinks here again. read more

I'm uneducated but apparently this is like the nike of hot dog eating competitions? It was pretty solid, very flavorful. It hit the spot after walking around Coney Island. Just a little small for the price imo. I got the jalapeno bacon cheese dog and the jalapeno was actually spicy!! Service was pretty quick. read more

Ordered food after the July 4th hotdog contest so obviously there was a decent wait. However, once the order was placed, it took about five minutes to get the food. Everything was great, the milkshake seemed like it was made hours before and was frozen, so it took a while to melt to be able to drink. Could barely puncture it with my straw. read more

It's the Best! This location I mean. Even when I go to other locations for some reason, their hot dogs always taste better here. Aaand no other Location has frog legs! Sooooo we make this trek all the time mainly for the frog legs but always get hot dogs also. Also they have a sweet older gentleman that is like a maitre D & personal waiter. I'm so mad I did not get his name. He was awesome. When we walked in, he asked us if we wanted a table he walked us to the table, pulled the chairs out. He came back and checked on us. Even noticed that I got a shake & immediately came back with a spoon for me. BTW that Butterscotch Praline Shake was top notch! Get it! And his awesome service wasn't just for us. He did this for everyone. I am sure there is no way you can get this kind of service in the summertime because you can barely move in there. So I don't wanna let the secret out. But I hate when people gatekeep, So if you wanna try this location of Nathan's come in the wintertime. Parking right out front! For my family coming from Suffolk County to Brooklyn it's worth the trip! It's only 44 miles away but NY traffic it took us 1 hr 45 minutes to get back home. Ridiculous, but worth it!

Nathan's 1310 Surf Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11224 Hot Dog From a historic standpoint, this casual hot dog restaurant is a goldmine. This is the original location that originally started out as a hot stand in the early 20th century. The annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest is held here. And it is conveniently only footsteps away from the Coney Island Boardwalk. Hot Dog: On a positive note, there was no extra charge for the sautéed onions in the frankfurter. Sadly, the hot dog did not live up to the hype. The dog was served room temperature and the bun looks like it has seen better days. Its taste was average at most and I felt the effort attempt wasn't there. Overall, if you are in the area and need a quick bite, I'd suggest pulling up. Otherwise, you will be highly disappointed if you make a special trip expecting the hot dog of the century. #nathans #nathansfamous #nathanshotdog #brooklynny #originalnathans read more

There's just nothing like a Nathan's hot dog. It's obviously not upscale dining, but it's classic, comforting, and exactly what you want it to be. I've been here countless times. I love their chili cheese dog and the corn dog nuggets, but you really can't go wrong with a regular hot dog topped with sauerkraut and mustard. They used to have an orange cream milkshake that I loved, please bring it back! I can't be too critical of the service, especially during the summer when the line can stretch nearly into the street and the staff is handling a thousands of orders. That said, a handful of times, I've had employees go out of their way to be especially friendly and helpful, which I always appreciate. If you want to avoid a long wait, winter is definitely the best time to go, though that was easier back when I was a local. I'll always have love for Nathan's Famous. read more

The food was okay, we didn't really find it to be anything special. When we got the food, the fries tasted as if they were sitting for a while. We went on a weekend so the seating was packed, it was hard to find an available table. And nobody really goes around cleaning them, so if the person before you didn't pick up the table will have their trash for you to clean. read more

Very disappointing experience at Nathan's. On a non-busy day, no line whatsoever, we waited over 40 minutes for our food while our server, Luis, repeatedly assured us it was coming. Unfortunately, the order never arrived. After finally escalating the issue to the manager, the solution offered was to refund the order and then give us the opportunity to place the same order again--and pay for it again. After already spending 40 minutes waiting, this was far from an acceptable resolution. Mistakes happen, but what truly matters is how they are handled. In this case, both the service and the management response fell well below expectations. We left hungry, frustrated, and feeling like our time simply didn't matter. I hope they improve their communication, kitchen operations, and customer service, because this experience was extremely disappointing. read more

Visiting Manhattan, I had been wanting to visit the iconic Nathan's Famous in Coney Island for a long time, so we took the hour-plus ride excited to finally try it. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. I ordered 2 plain hot dogs, 2 chili cheese dogs, 1 chili jalapeño dog, and 3 drinks -- somehow it came to $63. I asked the cashier for my receipt and my order number, and she just said, "I'll call you." She kept taking orders, and instead of starting my order first, she kept preparing smaller orders from people who ordered after me. I understand my order was bigger, but when you're first in line, you shouldn't have to watch 3 other orders get made before yours even starts. After waiting around 15 minutes, she finally called my name. When I checked the order, one plain hot dog was missing. I politely told her I ordered two plain dogs, but she immediately got defensive and insisted I only ordered one. Since she never gave me a receipt, I had no way to double-check. Instead of checking the register or reprinting the receipt, she just argued about it. She also handed us our drinks without straws and acted annoyed when I asked for them. To make things worse, my wife needed to use the restroom, but the doors were closed. When she asked about another restroom, the manager overheard the conversation and simply said they were open, even though they clearly weren't, then walked away without helping. At that point, I ended up walking across the street to White Castle and ordering two burgers just to replace the missing hot dog from my order. Honestly, Joey Chestnut ate 63 hot dogs in about 10 minutes. I seriously doubt whoever was helping me would've even prepared them in that amount of time. For a place as iconic as Nathan's Famous, I honestly expected much better customer service. The employee looked like she didn't want to be there, and the whole experience ruined the excitement of finally visiting. We did get some nice pictures, but overall the family left disappointed. read more

If you're coming here, might as well get the Nathan's by the boardwalk. It's the iconic Nathan's location. I got a hot dog to share with a friend, just because it's the classic but nothing special. The main thing I was impressed by were the prices. It wasn't marked up as much as I expected. Corn dog nuggets and the mozzarella bites were the standouts. I would get those over the hot dog any day. read more

You absolutely cannot come to Coney Island and not go to Nathan's You might as well get back on the train or in the car and go home if that's the case. They're my favorite hot dog I usually get it with ketchup but this time around I did it with no toppings and it was so good. The service is you walk up you order you get your food You eat a sit down or you take it to go No frills nothing exquisite as far as service goes. As far as the ambiance it's Coney Island before there was big corporate moving in to the area The only thing more original than Nathan's is the freak show they have two blocks over That I also recommend. So if you in Coney Island definitely stop by have a hot dog The only downside is it's very pricey but it's the Taurus trap type of pricing but you won't be disappointed food wise read more

Normally, I wouldn't recommend getting a burger at a Nathan's hotdog place. But this burger was tremendous. It was so tasty. Hot. I love the toppings. My butterscotch praline milkshake was fun as well. Some crunchy things in it that you really have to chew down on, but overall really satisfying. A little runny. I prefer my shakes a little more solid. Nice to eat outside read more

The hot dogs here have a legendary unique flavor that keeps you coming back for more. This institution was created by one of our great immigrants in 1916. It was only a hot dog stand and grew to what stands until today. The fries are delicious and now it includes hamburgers ect under the tent. This location is one of a few but this is the first ! Right on coney Island a block from nyc transit and the beach. So many memories here as a kid enjoying coney Island and Nathan's famous. I would've gave them a 5 star rating but I still remember that dreaded line but it's mostly automated now and the process to receive your goodies has improved. read more

The Hot Dog was good, but even better was the Batter-Dipped Onion Rings. The onion rings were crispy and reasonably priced for the size. The hot dog was on the more expensive side, but there's just something about the taste that makes it iconic. The Root Beer Float was also well-priced, but the ratio of ice cream to root beer didn't do it for me. It was while drinking this when I learned that I like more root beer and less ice cream. While ordering, the cashier was very friendly. There was plenty of outdoor seating, but on a weekend in the summertime, it can be hard to snag a table. There's just something about a view of the amusement park rides from your seat. read more

Then, for dessert, head next door to Williams' Candy! read more

It's nostalgic when you want a hot dog and some Nathans but they are SEVERELY OVERPRICED. Their hot dogs are tiny..and when I got one with chili it looked like they just put it as a small topping called it a day, you can barely see it in the photo. Same with the onions and peppers. The burgers were good. It's a nice meal to sit and eat by the beach but it's nothing crazy special. I do love the little forks they give you to eat your fries with. read more

What's a stay in the Big Apple without driving to Coney Island for a hot dog? There was no hot dog contest with Chestnut. Coney Island was so cold the rides weren't Even open. But that didn't stop us from dropping in to Nathan's. I came Here many years ago and this place had no doors or windows. Now it is fully enclosed and they sell a lot more than hot dogs. It was suggested we order the cheesy bacon hot dog. It think it was $8. It was actually really good. The bacon was crispy but the hot dog was pretty small. It still was a good snack before dinner. read more

How does one not visit Nathan's when in Brooklyn? Campy, fun and one of the last vestiges of the original Coney Island carnival businesses, its well worth the visit just from that perspective. You'll stand in a line to order, and again to wait for that food, you'll eat with your hands crowded against other people...and you'll love it. The quality of the food is on par with the historic aspect of coney island...a means to separate a person from their money, that said its still well worth the visit. read more

After a cold trip to the aquarium, we decided to stop by and grab a late lunch. A short line and a few standing and sitting tables on the side. We ordered 4x original hot dogs, 2x new englands, 1x lobster bisque, and fries. We had the sautéed onions and sauerkraut on the side and we were given an ample amount! The hot dogs are big, and satisfied our appetites but weren't really anything special. The soups were such large portions for $10. I had the lobster bisque, and it was decent - buttery and viscousy. The hot dogs and the bisque were definitely filling. It was a trip down memory lane, used to visit another Nathan's more as a child but haven't done so in many years. This visit brought back some nice memories. read more

We went to Coney Island today, very excited to eat at Nathan's hotdogs. The food was fantastic, after we finally got it. The order peocess seemed rushed. It seemed obvious the cashier didn't eat there. We got our food piecemealed, they forgot our water and ranch. Asking for it was like asking for gold. The first manager just walked off, after asking me three times what I wanted. Ranch is not hard. Diana, the other supervisor said her name was terry (who actually knows). Being honest they were both just rude. Despite the amazing food, I would never return. In all my trips to tourist locations, I don't think anyone has been that rude. To be honest, it was all the staff, not just the managers. Seems like the kitchen is doing well but other staff needs an attitude adjustment read more

...this was actually pretty good. I came here as a tourist and wanted to see Coney Island. It was far off the peak season so it was pretty empty. Now, I knew it was a tourist spot and I was prepared for the high prices, so I didn't get that much sticker shock to see the ~8 chili cheese dog. It's definitely a high price, but the food was actually good! Order was on the self serve kiosk. It was served on a small napkin/foldable paper container. The dog was lightly grilled and had a nice charred outside. It is an all beef has a classic taste but these dogs are firmer with a "bite." The cheese isn't too sticky think it overpowering, and it wasn't too salty either. It had a good complement to the dog. The chili is actually great, the size of the chili is pretty good and it didn't have any strange flavors. It was a classic chili dog. Bun is average Overall it's better than expected. But probably a price too steep at $8. I think if it were $5 I would give 5 stars. read more

Nathan's Famous in Coney Island was way better than I thought it would be, and much better than any Nathan's I've had outside of Coney Island. The Nathan's at the New York, New York hotel in Las Vegas, NV DOES NOT compare. My daughter and I shared a hot dog with raw onions and sauerkraut, and we added mustard and ketchup. We also got chili fries with crinkle-cut fries. Everything was really good. The chili cheese on the fries had lots of flavor. It was so good that my daughter, who usually doesn't like hot dogs or fries, actually ate both and liked them! We also had orangeade, which was really refreshing and had just the right amount of ice and soda. A little tip: the kiosk line wasn't really faster. There were only two screens, and the reflections on the screen made it hard to see. The ordering system was a bit confusing, and it seemed like everyone, including us, was learning how to use it. I noticed people in the regular line ordered ahead of us and got their food almost right away. The service was kind of mixed. Some people who ordered after us got their food first, while others who ordered before us had to wait about 10-15 minutes longer. Nathan's is right on the boardwalk, so there are no tables or seats. You either eat standing up or take it to go. read more

Nathan's has become an institution in Coney Island, so you can't make a visit without getting a hot dog here. It's 100% overpriced and touristy, but you can't help but still line up with everyone else. There are two lines: hot dog on your right, burgers and seafood on your left. We opted for the classic and got into the right line to order. I had the Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Dog ($7.99) and Loaded Onion Rings ($7.99). They give you lots of jalapeños, but they're raw so didn't add much flavor. The hot dog was just a basic hot dog really. I did enjoy the onion rings as they gave a good amount. Both items had me really full though, so it was a good meal. The boyfriend got 2 Plain Hot Dogs for $5.99 each, which is insanely overpriced when you think about how Costco's hot dog is only $1.50 with a drink. Either way, with a visit when in Coney Island. read more
