Everyone is always friendly and it's the best hotdogs money can buy such a simple place yet so amazing

The hot dogs are great but the pretzels are my favorite. The Parmesan with the marinara sauce is super tasty! My daughter is crazy about the cinnamon sugar one. Well worth the drive from Huntersville when I'm craving a hot dog and pretzel. read more

Sometimes simple is better. At Not Just Franks, they keep things simple and it's delicious. There are a whole two types of food on the menu: hot dogs and soft pretzels. The pretzels are made in house, which is a huge plus. They're always friendly and polite with customers. Don't forget to wash your awesome lunch down with a cold orangeade! read more

Talk about good old fashion hot dogs. It's more of an in and out place which is great. Love the chili and slaw

Quick and easy place to grab lunch. Hots dogs and soft pretzels. The pretzels can be a little too buttery in my opinion but overall great. Love the cheese sauce! read more

I don't even like hot dogs, and I love Not Just Franks! They really have some magic they put in their food. Everything I have tried there is absolutely delicious. Not Just Franks is conveniently located on Union Street in Concord, right across the street from the Cabarrus County Courthouse. It is a quick lunch, without being "fast food." It is easy to pop in for a yummy snack while shopping downtown (or if you're me, window shopping). Not Just Franks offers Not Just hotdogs, but pretzels too! There are different types of pretzels...the most important being cinnamon and sugar. When enjoyed warm with buttercream frosting (50¢ extra) I challenge you to find a more delectable dessert in the Concord area. It's finger-lickin' good! And don't overlook the beverages! Not Just Franks offers fresh squeezed lemonade and orangeade, made with real sugar. Just the thirst-quencher for a hot summer day. Not Just Franks is really a community establishment. The owner has a "Pay It Forward" program where people can pay a little extra and leave a sticky note for someone. If there is a day you don't have enough, you can pick a sticky note and still get your favorite snack. Make sure you try out Not Just Franks; you will enjoy it! read more

Not Just Franks - Not Just Franks cute storefront on Union Street. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Never disappoints. Amazing food and service. One of the best places to grab lunch in Concord.

The girl behind the counter mainly making food ore gloves and a mask which was great.... HOWEVER, the woman behind the register did not wear gloves. I didn't have any issue with this UNTIL SHE STARTED TOUCHING MY FOOD to assist the other girl! She went from touching cash to touching my food!!! The hotdogs tasted microwaved and not grilled. I didn't see a grill either. This was very disappointing as when you want a hot dog, people typically desire the grill flavor, NOT microwave flavor. They have such few options as well. Why no fries?! PLUS TGEY CHARGE TO PAY WITH CARD!! Definitely not what I expected and I won't be back..... Disappointing read more

They only do 2 things, Hot dogs & Pretzels. They do both very well. I had a chili dog and a pretzel and both were delicious. What caught my eye was a "pay it forward" sign on the door giving the customer an option of paying it forward to another customer who might be in need. I tried to walk in but it was a few minutes after closing time and the door was locked. Someone rushed to the door to let me in. They were very friendly and the place was immaculate even at the end of their business day. Even the follow customers were friendly... This was all in addition to having a really tasty chili dog. If you are in Downtown Concord between 11:00 and 3:00 Monday thru Saturday, definitely give them a try. read more

Not Just Franks - Hot Dogs Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

I am a huge fan of hotdogs so when I saw this place I really hoped it would be good. Thank goodness they did not disappoint. They have a variety of hotdogs toppings and a few of their own creations. The portions are great and the prices are better. They even make handmade pretzels as you watch. The extra couple minutes is worth the warm buttery pretzel. They have various topping and sauce options for the pretzels as well. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The seating is limited and they are always super busy so get there as soon as you can, you wont regret it! read more

Best place for hot dogs & pretzels! I've enjoy Not Just Franks for over 10 years now. HIGHLY recommended! read more

If you go on a Saturday, be aware that there's not a ton of seating areas (since the majority of the working class has weekends off) so you may end up sharing a table with someone else. The line moved quickly and the service was good. I felt like the lady taking my order was looking at me oddly because I wasn't done stating my order (felt kind of rushed), but maybe it was just me. Got the "Sweet Carolina" (mustard, ketchup, chili, & slaw) and "Frank's Favorite" (mustard and NY onions) and they were both very good. We also got a parmesan pretzel with pizza sauce which was also very delicious. "Frank's Favorite" is heavy on onions so be aware of that and bring some gum or mints or your breath will put out anyone you speak to afterwards. Otherwise, the flavors and price are worth visiting this establishment. KID-FRIENDLY as long as your child(ren) don't mind hot dogs! EVERYBODY WINS read more

Tried Not Just Franks last weekend for the first time. The name is truly very fitting as these hot dogs are much more than your average hot dog. I cannot determine if it was merely my being unbelievably hungry or the flavor, but it was one of the best hot dogs I have ever tasted. But the hot dogs are not even the best part about this small spot located conveniently in downtown concord. The homemade pretzels here are definitely good enough to write home about. With a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from, you truly cannot go wrong with a pretzel. The restaurant itself is not very big and was pretty busy for a Saturday afternoon, a good sign for customers. I would highly recommend stopping in for a pretzel or staying for a hot dog! The staff here are excellent and take the time to make you feel welcome. read more

Staff is great and the food was awesome for the money you spend. I would highly recommend.

If you're feeling a good, juicy, plump, delicious hot dog I don't recommend coming here! The only reason we stopped by was because our initial choice restaurant was closed so we decided to wing it. The place is a quick, grab your lunch and go type of place and the prices are very cheap. The hotdogs are boring and bland, with cold buns. Their pretzels are just as bad. Skip it. read more

Yes, they have more than franks but that's all I need to let you know this place is amazing! They're fast, efficient, and can get you in and out the door in a hurry. Since this is a spot I mostly frequently during my lunch hour, the efficiency is something that I really need. My favorite thing to eat is the special of 3 hot dogs for $5. They have your traditional hot dog combinations but they also have some creative, original ideas as well. They really do their best to get people taken care of quickly as they are right across the street from the county courthouse. Plus there are plenty of competitors in the area that people could go to instead. If you're looking for a good dog, you've got to check out Not Just Franks! read more

The Cinnamon Sugar pretzel with Buttercream Icing is THE BEST SOFT PRETZEL IN THE WORLD. This place has the same recipe as "Katie's Pretzels" that used to exist in Carr Mill mall in Carrboro - the owner, Frank, used to work at Katie's. He's a really nice guy and incredibly hospitable - the price point is amazing too. If you're in town, GET THE PRETZEL!! read more

Between my husband and me, we Got 5 Carolina dogs, and a cinnamon sugar pretzel. You guys, it was delicious . The dogs were all beef. They don't skimp on the toppings it's also not completely overwhelmed with toppings either so it's easy to stay in control while eating. The bread they use is the best, it's fluffy and it really holds up well with all the toppings. Especially considering we Postmated our first order. Absolutely delicious, my new favorite hotdog spot. U need to go already!! read more

Omg.... this is my FAVORITE little lunch spot!! I always get 1 hot dog with chili & cheese, 1 plain hot dog, 1 fresh DELICIOUS cinnamon sugar pretzel & a FRESHLY SQUEEZES Orange aid. AMAZING!! Must try!! Plus, the owner & staff are GREAT!! read more

The taste of the dogs is ok but the price is amazing. The service is outstanding and fast

Small town Americana hot dog joint. Pay an extra dollar and leave a sticky note with an encouraging message for someone less fortunate to get a pretzel on the house. Friendly and quick service. The hot dogs and pretzels are great. They close at 3:00PM. If you're in downtown Concord during lunch time, you should check them out. read more

I get that a lot of people dig this place and yes it has its upsides, but I was less than impressed by the quality of the dogs. Not 100% sure what type of dog they use but pretty sure its not a beef frank, soft texture it lacks the spice or bite of a great quality beef frank. Typically when refer to a dog as a "frank" you are talking beef, a "wiener" on the other hand is comprised of a meat blend. I had the Chicago dog and 2 all the way Carolina style dogs. The Chicago dog just did not cut it against a traditional Chicago style hot dog, jalapenos instead of sport peppers, no celery salt, it was OK but I would not order again. The Carolina dog was better but the toppings were sparse, maybe a tablespoon of chili and slaw. Also heard great things abut the fresh squeezed orange and lemonades, they were pretty good. Maybe they should be called "Not Just Wieners". Food: 2.5 Sporks Service: 4 Sporks Atmosphere: 3 Sporks Sweet Tea: 3 Sporks Value: 4 Sporks read more

Not just unsanitary but unfriendly. The only person wearing gloves was the person wiping the counter, who proceeded to open the bag and make the drink with said dirty gloves. The hot dogs were made by the ungloved human, and the older woman served the attitude. Never going back! read more

A Concord jewel! My mother and I have made Not Just Franks our Saturday lunch tradition.

First time stopping in this place. Great service and great franks. We will be back whenever we are in the area.

What a great hot dog dining experience! We happened to be Downtown Concord and saw Hot Dogs in the window so we decided to pop in and give it a try. My husband and I have been devoted hot dog diners since our first date when we had hot dogs in the park. The place is simple and clean. They gave us wonderful service. It took me a minute to weigh all the options and then decided on all the way, light on the onion. Which was done to perfection. In my experience most people don't understand light on the onion. The buns were warm and soft. They were not soggy at all. The dogs were boiled and had a good texture, soft but not mushy. They make all their own sauces and the slaw and chili in house. the ATW was good so we decided to try one more. Tried the German and a Franks Favorite. The German had sauerkraut and mustard and Franks Favorite had NY Onions and mustard. I had never heard of NY onions, it was onion in a spicy and sweet sauce. It made my tongue tingle, in a good way! But I like spicy foods. Then the very nice hot dog man, who I suspect is Frank, gave us one more to try. We were too full at the moment so we took it with us for later. It is the Deputy Dog and I'm looking forward to trying it...BBQ sauce, jalapeños...should be good! $2/dog. Total including tax. They also make fresh pretzels. We did not try them as I said before we were stuffed with dogs! And I would also like to add that the bathroom was functioning and clean. The only thing that I don't like is they are too far from home to go on a regular basis! read more

Wow! There isn't enough space here to sing the praises of Not Just Franks. Hotdogs and pretzels are humble, simple food, but in the hands of geniuses they have really been elevated. I've tried every hotdog they serve and I cannot say I have a favorite, they are all amazing. The hot pretzels are the perfect ending to their perfectly cooked dogs. The service is friendly and reminds me of all the reasons why small businesses and family run shops will ALWAYS beat out the big chains. Do yourself a favor and have the best hotdog you've ever had served with a hot pretzel and heapin' helpin' of NC hospitality. Thank you for this great downtown Concord spot. read more

Customer service is fantastic and the food is great. I loved coming to this place with my kids. I got a chili cheese frank and a cinnamon sugar pretzel. The pretzels are made fresh everyday and the workers are so friendly. I will definitely be back. read more

Great place for a quick lunch and pretzel. Family owned and operated with great service.

This place is not fancy. It's just a hot dog diner. The food is good. The dogs and the pretzels are awesome. They also have hand-squeezed lemonade and orangeade. The employees are nice and speedy. The cleanliness of the restaurant is apparent as soon as you walk in. The health department issued sanitation grade is posted behind the register- a grade of 100.0! read more

Great hot dogs,at a great price, served with a smile. The soft pretzels are warm and wonderful. Can't go wrong here.

Love this place! Not Just Franks has good hot dogs and amazing fresh made soft pretzels. So delicious. We've been twice now and will continue to go back. Good prices too! read more

Great place to grab a quick bite on the run. Awesome, awesome awesome pretzels! Hot dogs, sodas. Friendly staff and spotless restaurant. They do have shorter hours but definitely worth checking out! Also have some nice meal specials. I do miss them being in the mall. But the new location is awesome. read more

Sometimea, all you want for lunch is a freakin' hit dog. This place delivers. The franks come however you want them, it's affordable, the staff are friendly, and the freshly squeezed lemon/orangeade is a treat. If I had to nitpick, I do wish their chips had more variety - they only have a very few kinds, and I kinda wish they had Sun Chips or sour cream n' onion or something... It's just a nitpick thoigh. read more

Here for a basketball tournament and wanted to grab something to eat in the car. The hot dogs and pretzels were both delicious!

First time here, hot dogs were actually pretty good. I had the all American one which had some chili on top. The chili tasted like it was just from a can and was pretty bland but the hot dog itself was decent. My issue with this place though is there is legit zero selection on the menu. I feel this place needs to be more inventive to be successful, how about cheese, bacon, a pretzel dog, corn dog, etc? I feel like I would only go back every once in a rare while because a simple hot dog is something I can get anywhere and without options, there isn't much excitement. read more

I wish I could give this place a million stars . It always smells amazing when you walk in, the staff and owner are always kind and smiling, the hotdogs (which you can have made numerous ways) are always hot juicy and fresh as well as their toppings, the buns are soft and fresh, the pretzels (which also come in varieties) are out of this world, and even the sodas are fresh and crisp. The prices are super affordable and you get so much awesomeness for just a few bucks. Definitely do yourself a favor and stop by Not Just Franks. read more

Best place in downtown to get hot dogs! Me, my Partner loved going to this place before work or on the weekends for a quick bite to eat. Its very close to everything in downtown Concord. We would often walk here when we lived in The View Apts at Concord Hotel and eat in the restaurant before COVID-19 started. Then we would checkout the other shops on the way home. Inside it is very nice, the tables are big enough for the whole family to sit and enjoy a meal (when its safe of course). The owners make it easy to grab a meal to go! There are also many combos on the menu so Not Just Franks has the best match for each person's appetite. Awesome place! Really loved this local spot. read more

Amazing hot dogs and wonderful customer service! Been getting my dogs and pretzels since they were located in carolina mall!
