Nathan's Famous, Inc. Review

The wingman always enjoys the dogs and fries at Nathan's. Mmm,mmm,good

Landmark but very Pricey discounts only if you have coupons

Delicious. I wish the hot dog were a couple bucks cheaper but I guess its worth the experience. The dog was very good and the fries were amazing. Washed it all down with some great lemonade.

I liked Conney Island fun place and it has a beach.

The menu item I ordered was too expensive and the portions were very small. The cashier/server was horrible and had a disgusting attitude. Horrible time from a place I used to enjoy.

I do not eat many hotdogs, but every time I am in Coney Island, I must have a Nathan's hotdog. The bacon cheese fries and lemonade cannot be left out either. The food is great and the service is just has good.

No one does food like Nathan's they're expensive but worth the cost.

World Famous - Great Fries and Hot dogs.
$4.50 per hot dog. Look online for coupons.

Classic, way too expensive and probably not worth it. So why do I always end up back? Expect long lines in the summer,and much better hotdogs than you know from the Nathan's brand. Is it actually different from other locations? Who knows. Is it a institution that's a must go? Definitely.

The line was very long and the service was very slow. The price is reasonable, the sitting area was crowded and not too clean.

A must see for all tourists! The original home for Nathan s Hotdogs! The lines can be long (it is a tourist attraction) but it moves quickly and the service and workers are all extremely nice and knowledgeable!

Expectation vs. reality is a heavy thing to deal with. For my entire life, people have built up the experience of having a hot dog at Nathan's Famous on Coney Island. Radio shows, TV visits, in short stories and newspaper articles touting the "legend".

Real talk: It's a dozen or so shortish lines to a sweaty hot dog that's sat on the grill for a little while (not that long) into a mushy bun. Then you turn around and outside the exit is a kinda filthy condiment station for Mustard, Ketchup and maybe relish if you're lucky. (easy experience design improvement opportunity space here) Then you walk about 20 feet to the side of the building to eat on some concrete benches.

To my great surprise, there wasn't anything special about it. I've even had better Nathan's hot dogs elsewhere, bafflingly, so it isn't the ingredients. I have to say the service was cheerful and quick, and that's the true strength of the experience here.

Although I see the optimized improvements for efficiency's sake, (like the condiment station being not part of the line, which is a good thing) it's lost all of its luster, or at least the propaganda doesn't match an experience on a gorgeous sunny day in September. The hand painted signs now carry the entire weight of its charm. Hopefully you guys can step your game a bit, I'd like to come back and have a great hotdog here.

Same classic dogs & fries. Sauerkraut upon request. Mustard, ketchup, relish are self serve condiments. Service is reasonably quick. Cold . Ample seating.

A New York institution. With Nathan's establishments everywhere these days, do the clam bar for a unique Coney Island experience. Nice diverse staff.

Food over priced and the place is dirty. Their was a fly in the orange bang machine and the manager had to dump the tank after they served so many drinks. Bad news

I went here a day after 2019's hot dog eating contest. Though it's true that it was strikingly quite and peaceful for the place that had hundreds of media spotlights only a few hours ago, the one essential thing of the place remained nonchalantly superb: the damn good hot dog.

Not worth it. Far away and the hot dog is pretty mean.

Eveyone loves Nathan's hotdogs. But they're prices are crazy.

So thrilled to see it in person! Nice atmosphere and the beach was beautiful, but the water was cold yikes! Lol...

The Best Hot Dog in NY, just very pricey. You get what you pay for!

HOT DOGS! Price is a little over the top but hey it Nathan's "Home of the International Hot Dog Eating Championship!"

Great choice of cooked fish and of course, their famous hot dogs.

Close to Coney Island Amusement Park. Very clean environment and this is the largest Nathan's with generous seating (more than Five Guys and Shake Shack). The price for a Super Deluxe Cheeseburger w/o the cheese, but all the toppings $5.49, large Cheese Fries $4.75. I will go back because they still make a great burger, but they offer a seafood menu too.

Hot dogs are very good, Carlitos, but good. Do not forget the fries, which are fancy.

The one and only Best Nathen's. Usually always packed.

Das schlechteste Fastfood was ich je hatte. Pommes waren im alten Fett gebraten. Wings waren trocken und hatten zu viel Marinade.

It cost. Tasty fish though. Order fast so you have a spot to sit & eat before the seats are taken.lol

Lines were long but it was worth it. Felt like a kid again waiting for my food from Nathan's.

Food is great but the line is crazy long. Same person that takes your order puts your order together, makes it a slow process.
Pro tip: always get the kids meal.

Haven't been here for years. The line was long but wanted the fries with cheese and bacon. I was very disappointed

This place has nostalgic appeal but in reality that is all. It is always crowded and noisy. The side has concrete tables with umbrellas but good luck getting a seat. The seating area is located very close to some bathrooms which are also gross. The food can be hit or miss and pricey of course. I mean don't get me wrong, you are at the beach... it is Nathan's. Try it once or twice. But I am sure Brooklyn has many more places to grab some good food.

Service was terrible, food was cold. I waited 20 minutes for a corndog that I never got and was given a hot dog instead. I love Nathan's so I will just stick buying it from the frozen food section at my local grocery store

I'm not happy about this place it's slow. The lines are outrageous. So disorganized!

Hot Dog is my favorite snack, but those hot dogs are not really good. The place is attractive only because of its view. The ocean is really nice!

Went on a Monday, so there wasn't really a wait. Clean restaurant and the hot dogs were good. I didnt really care for the chicken tenders tho

The original Nathan's location worth a visit despite the long lines

Great food, cheap prices and quaint place.
Staff definitely not polite, I don't expect any kind of fast-food treatment, but the person in charge of the job that puffs you in the face when after 20min row you don't click in the box as soon as it screams "next", it seems a bit excessive.

Their food sucks, so and it's highly overpriced. Service is not great. This place is a tourist's trap. Nothing really historical there.

The hot dogs didn't actually tastes that great but the service was good

The best hot dog that I've ever had in my entire life!!

It's the original. Nothing fancy. Pretty much a fast food place.

It has been a traditional place for more than 100 years. It was very interesting to have this experience and to imagine how many people have gone through Nathan's, who has a hot dog and who knows what it means to have the experience of enjoying the famous snack of North America .
It is worth mentioning that the event of the dispute of who eats the hottest dog on a national holiday should even be top!

Had a great time and the food was good, not too pricy...

Can't visit Coney Island without stopping at Nathan's. I did that on my birthday. Had fun!

Need to improve the wait times, try to have more workers to serve more quickly at the register.

A little pricey but the excellent service, food and staff make it worth it!

The ORIGINAL Nathan's. Great for hot dogs, fries and a drink!

After all these years and coping with covid, they are still keeping the experience worthwhile.

Food Was Hot And Delish.....I Had The Seafood Combo $10.99...

This establishment has been around a long time and does what I can only assume huge business from tourists, me included even though I lived in NY my whole life. But never been to Coney Island and went with family visiting from Florida. $5 for a hot dog is not affordable in any means. That set aside, I wanted the snap on the hot dog and sadly didn t get it. Bun was soggy. Still love Nathan s but won t revisit this location.

If your a tourist, still say this is a must photo opp
