Nathan's Famous

Always a great experience.

We went Friday 3/22/24 at about 4:30pm. Had the sweetest girl take our order. Great customer service. Unfortunately I can't remember her name. It started with a C. Good food and great customer service is what matters. Good onion rings.

Esperava mais... não que seja ruim

It's all about the experience and checking it off the bucket list

This is a landmark unlike many others. Sitting in the same spot for nigh over 100 years, this venerated hot dog house has been feeding literally generations with their famous frankfurters. Located just across the street from the Stillwell Ave. subway terminal, Nathan's is extremely convenient to get to. It is also a literal block from the fabled Coney Island Beach where one can find a variety of amusements during the right time of year. Inside, much has changed since the past in regards to the internal layout and layout. Whilst once the purveyor of the venerated Chop Suey Sandwich, once can now find a variety of burgers on the menu. However, you can still buy some fried seafood by the pound, just like nature intended. They still sell hotdogs. You may come across Nathan's dogs in the supermarket or even one of their franchise locations. Be warned: they are not the same. The quality drops sharply once you are no longer in the original hot dog house. Inside, dispute the shear amount of people in line, your time at the counter comes quickly. You can even use the self-serve kiosks, but no, it's not worth the lack of one-on-one personal attentiveness you'll receive dealing directly with the people behind the counter. If you're ever within an hours journey from here, I implore you to check it out. And if you don't like it, then tough: it's your own fault for not appreciating the masterful quality that goes into each item served. While eating your meal, you can ponder if hot dogs count as open-faced sandwiches or not and why everyone who disagrees with you is horribly wrong and incorrect. Also, the milk shakes are very thick, just as they're supposed to be. Vegetarian options: If you don't mind fries, onion rings, or milkshakes, then no problem. But that's most of what they got without meat. Not many other options. Dietary restrictions: Nope. Parking: Located in the greatest city that ever was or will be, it can be a challenge to fund a parking spot. All street parking is metered. Kid-friendliness: Sure, why not. Kids like this sort of food. Wheelchair accessibility: This place seemed pretty accessible for wheelchairs, what with it being on the ground level and all.
