Gourmet hot dogs that hit the spot! Highly recommended. I had the Hawaiian Dog Combo (beef dog with pineapple relish - fabulous!) & garlic aioli dipping sauce for the fries. My wife had the Tuesday Special: Greek Dog (lamb sausage with gyro fixings that was fantastic) & ranch dipping sauce. The dogs were perfect, delicious, & so tasty! Buns were exactly right. Fries were fresh & crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The dipping sauces made the fries zing. They also had some very interesting burgers that I’d like to try on my next visit. We came here because this place was on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives in 2010. Guy F would be pleased to know this place is still kickin’ it 13 years later. You have got to try this place!

I absolutely love Hank's! It is an amazing hotdog spot and never fails to impress me. The diverse menu offers a range of unique hot dogs, including a tasty vegan option. The amazing fries complement the meal perfectly. (and you need a pineapple slushy). The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-try for any hotdog enthusiast.

There was a fantastic selection of hot dogs available. I had the Hawaiian Hot Dog. I’d visit Hank’s Haute Dogs again! Their kids meals were reasonably priced.

Really good hot dogs. The place is located in a plaza with a lot of restaurants and places to eat outdoors. Hank's is located in the back. The fries were nice and fresh. We got the ranch furikake dipping sauce too which was tasty.
Parking is free for the first hour but then you have to pay after that in the lot.

Loved these hot dogs! We found Hank's after a busy morning of sight seeing and this was the perfect place to have lunch and rest in their shaded outdoor seating area. I really enjoyed my hot dog, perfect amount of toppings and our order came out quickly. Liked their canned craft beer selection as well. It's in a great area very close to Honolulu Beerworks.

Hanks Hamburger was awesome!! Super tasty and referred by a coworker who had loved it previously.

Loved the Hawaiian hotdog! It’s at a great location with a free parking for an hour.

❤️! Had classic Chicago dog—grilled no sport peppers and onion rings and they were great! Haven’t seen a whole lot of hot dog places on the Island, but this is definitely a great place to get one. They have a lot of delicious sounding choices so you can’t go wrong. Hibiscus lemonade was really good too—not too sweet.

Nice selection of hot dogs!! The dog, bun, and toppings were all great

We stopped by on a busy weekend for lunch. The wait wasn't long, maybe 5 minutes. I ordered a Hank's frank. After hearing about this place from popular TV shows, I was expecting to be blown away. It's a hot dog. There's nothing special about it. The real showstopper is the French fries & the sauce. Now those are perfection! The atmosphere was laid back, all the staff were nice, & I loved the seating outside. It was secluded enough to relax, but still open to enjoy the people watching.

We found this place on accident on our trip to Oahu. It's on triple D, you foodies know what I'm talking about and know Guy knows what's up!!
My burger was amazing. My wife got one of their Chicken haute dogs and loved it! She also LOVED the white truffled mac n cheese. It was soooooo good!!
The PINEAPPLE ICE... we ordered one. While waiting for your order. I went back and ordered a second one for my wife. WAY better than any Dole Whips we had hands down!!
A must get on any day to cool down!!

Located in Salt, Kakaako this is the best hot dog restaurant in the State! Featured on The Food network's Guy Fiery's Diners and Dives. Casual restaurant with fancy items like Duck Foie Gras to Authentic Chicago Hot dogs, which rival Super Dog (in Chicago).! They use a poppy seed bun, Vienna all beef hot dogs, green relish, celery pepper, mustard, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños peppers! Aside from the size and taste, Hank's Chicago dog is just as delicious as Super Dog.
Be sure to order their natural cut French fies with choice of gourmet sauces (garlic aioli or curry ketchup).
Try their specials, such as the lobster hot dog or their duck foie gras dog.

The food was great! Who would to think to put lettuce and tomato on a hot dog. The wife and I got the “Fat Boy”. The pictures tell the story. I will caution you though, the sitting area is small and it is a challenge to find parking. Overall, I would definitely come back.

Takes the idea of a hotdog and makes it entirely unique. Hank’s is a great afternoon lunch spot. With an adequate amount of outside seating I have never had trouble finding a spot. This is a fairly popular place so I would try to avoid going during the lunch rush because Hanks is very popular. The hot dog list is very broad, with many options to choose from. So far I have only had two of there dogs, and both were very well prepared with excellent flavor. My favorite factor of this restaurant is that they have daily specials featuring even more unique options such as their lobster hot dog or their wild boar dog. Another thing I judge burger and hotdog places on are their fries, and Hanks makes some good fries. You can go with more traditional French fries or their double fried option for extra crisp. Moving to Hawaii I never would have expected to find good hotdogs, and Hanks proved me wrong. Enjoy!

Creative menu of hotdogs for everyone. The haute dogs sat perfectly inside of the takeout box.
Buns were very fluffy with generous portion of hotdogs toppings on the sausage.
Hawaiian was nicely balanced flavor, but the first bite of chicken sausage was “salty” impression. In case you are careful with the sodium intake, I’d chose others. (Although sausages contains a lot of sodium, it is usually well disguised with other flavors)
There are many options to chose from, so visit few times to try out different haute dogs.
Rebecca Teresia
Amazing hot dogs!!! You can choose to get the hot dogs without the bun in which its wrapped in fresh lettuce. Love how fresh and tasty all the toppings are.
Mondrekio ChefHollywood Robertson
Best spot in Honolulu hands down! I’ve eaten here every single time I’ve visited Hawaii and it never fails me. Something for everyone and just a great atmosphere and great people. Different daily dog so you can go all week and eat something different each day!
Thomas Risse
Love this place. Great versions of hot dog to choose from and taste is always the best. Also, reasonable portion size, which allows for a splurge with less guilt.
Keith Barrow
Been many times every time I come we go it’s pricey but good. Is it worth the $50 for a family of 4? Depends on what your used too. I only come once a year so it’s worth it for us.
Justine C Carrico
First time eating here and from all the hype I thought it would have been a lot better. For $10 for a hot dog I thought it would have been bigger. I had the duck foie gras dog and it was pretty good but nothing spectacular.
Amy Duffield
Very good service and very good food:) the mac and cheese is to die for... the fries and cheese are also very good..
Φοίβος Λαζαρίδης
Great people; required eating. That should suffice, but reviews require me to type at least 50 characters. In all seriousness, it's a fun spin on a classic concept served by cool people. They treated us like family for three years, and we're gonna miss them!
Danny Berroteran
Went there with a friend ordered the Hawaiian hotdog and a Polish dog with Chicago toppings on it and the Beef fat fried french fries. OK I expected to get hot food since the french fries were supposed to be twice fried I figured they would come hot they were warm at best and greasy, My friend who ordered the Chicago dog had a hard time chewing it and I found out why when he pulled out a huge piece of gristle from his mouth and was trying to figure out what he was chewing on. The only thing positive I can say about the place is the guy who took our order was very nice it was very clean inside and the area around there is nice. Not going there again.
Allison Kroll
Amazing! Everything we had was great! I love the vibe but the dogs are fantastic! So glad we stumbled upon this place!
Jill Wells
This is one place I loved while living on Oahu! I went for lunch often when working.
I moved back to Florida and still miss it!!!
Leigh Oldham McGovern
The Hawaiian Dog was delicious! And the pineapple ice is the best! You must eat here while at Waikiki.
Josh Edlow
The food was exceptional and the service was awesome. It was a great way to end our trip to Honolulu
Rhonda Hand Johnson
I had higher hopes for this dog house. Service was terrific though, outside seating comfy, but the dogs weren't as tasty as I had hoped.
Mike Kroll
"Bacon wrapped lobster hot dog." That's all ya really need to know
Crystal Vanick Carnero
Absolutely delicious.. I had the chorizo dog fries and the galric dippin sauce and all i have to say is I will be coming back again and will be making my way thru the menu of choices... 5 � � � � � all the way. See you next time.
Amber Danger
Cool little shop serving great food. Prices are a bit ridiculous, but the dogs are very good. Awesome customer service, quick turn around time from ordering to getting food. Will definitely be back.
Jason Price - The Hungry Dog Blog
I would give Hank's more stars if it weren't for the ridiculous prices. I mean, who charges 12 bucks for a chili dog? The tube steak is decent but you end up paying for the location given you are right next to Black rock. If the prices were half you'd have decent value. Instead, lunch for two costs 30 bucks plus. For hot dogs. C'mon Hank.
George Wintle
Haute Dog Cuisine. Read a lot of reviews and wanted to check this little spot out. We ended up going to it three different times since the hotdogs were sooooo good. Our favorites were the Lobster Dogs, the fries covered in a special cheese sauce, and the Mac and Cheese. I wish he had a chain of these throughout the rest of the USA!

I went to try the Chicago hot dog after it got listed as a top Honolulu taste by Honolulu magazine. It tasted, well, like a hot dog. Nothing too exceptional about the way that it tasted. It was certainly refreshing to have the hot dog topped by fresh tomatoes rather than the inevitable ketchup but I do that at home anyway. The relish looked fresh and interesting and so I am assuming that it was made on site. The relish was a definitive strength. The place looked clean and the service was good and efficient.

Dam good dogs.... Finally had some Hank's today and we will be back for sure. This will probably be our hot dog spot from now on pending how Puka Dog turns out. Wifey had the Chicago, I had the fat boy. We split fries and the drink and left stuffed! All I can say is everything was amazing and fresh tasting. We ordered the chipotle mayo and I sear that stuff is so good. I dipped my fries, haut dog and finger in it! Total came to $15.97 and we left happy as clams. Can't wait to get to 20 buys and get our free tee shirts!!! A+ to Hanks!!!
Ash
First time there and thought it was pretty good - especially the fat boy and lobster dog! pretty pricy for a hot dog though and that's if you don't get the fries and a drink.
Tiana
I LOVE hanks! I must get it when I'm back home and crave it while I'm away! The Chicago dog is always great! The dog snaps with every bite and the poppy seed bun makes it even better. I also love the no dog! It's fresh and delicious. The chipotle mayo makes it a little spicy. If you don't think a dog will fill you up, get a bowl of the truffle Mac and cheese to go along with it. SO good. I love the fries dipped in the garlic aioli. Don't forget a pineapple ice!!
FoodSnob
Another great DDD find. I've been to a lot of hot dog spots on guy's list but Hanks really knows his meats. The expertise here is in the dog. Visited on Friday to get a taste of the lobster dog. Well flavored and something you will find no where else. Fries and dips were also excellent. Garlic aioli was reminiscent of a Belgian frites sauce. But the winner by far via my palete was the chicken dog. Imagine both rotisserie and grilled chicken in the form of a hot dog. You can see the real chicken on your first bite. Mango with lime mustard was an excellent pairing. Having been to four DDD dogs places, Hanks currently takes the top spot.
T-bone
Excellent! Tried the lobster dog and some other type of dog I cannot remember. If you consider yourself a foodie you owe it to yourself to try this out......unique and delicious combination of flavors.
AFriedly
The Italian beef was decent. The chili tastes weird. Decent hot dogs but $42 for a family of 4 is a little too much for hot dogs!
Foodie With Great Shoes
Gourmet hot dogs??!!. I'm all over this place. It's crazy fun with crazy combinations!
Goose
Great dogs. Hank takes pride in his offerings and is often manning the register at both of his locations. My favorite is the fat boy. Bacon wrapped dog with with lettuce, tomato and mayo. Like the best BLT you've ever had. The waikiki location does not have a fryer so they are somewhat limited in their selection.
SummerRain
What's the hype? Thought it was over rated and over priced for a hot dog place. I ordered the brat (which is steamed) and the first couple of bites I thought, "hmm this is not bad" but then it just started tasting weird. The fries were good. My friends all said their hot dogs were ok but not a place they would drive to just to eat the hot dogs. That being said, I guess it depends on preference because they must be doing something right. There was a very long line when we got there and a steady stream of people continued to come in. We didn't have to wait long for our food despite the line being all the way out the door. If you're curious about all the hype then I'd recommend this place but don't go there with high expectations.
Pompiere
Over priced Hype. Don't believe everything Guy Fieri says. We went here and had very slow poor service. The dogs were just OK and certainly didn't warrant the prices. thumbs up on the fries and curry ketchup though.
James Van Sciver
The king of encased meat! Great value for your $ and a lot of choices for your taste preference.
Profitable Choy
If you like hotdogs this place will make your nipples hard. Absolutley fantastic...except for the chicken dog but then again would any self respecting hotdog lover eat a chicken dog anyways?....highly recomended
Josh Frank
Best. Hotdogs. Ever. You've got to try the Fatboy at least once. Very friendly staff. Don't let the long line out the door scare you. It moves pretty fast.
Musubii
Staff is super friendly! Only place where I love hot dogs! A tad pricey but you get what you pay for! You gotta try the garlic sauce!!!
Robyn
.... quick drive to Hank’s Haute Dogs which offers a creative take on the All-American favourite, the hot dog. Hank’s is a cute little place just off of Ala Moana Blvd, but away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. There are a couple of stools along the counter inside, but most of the seating is outside on picnic tables with umbrellas. And when you are in Hawaii, why wouldn’t you want to sit outside?
Valerie Shaindlin
Hank’s hot dogs, toppings and sides are truly unique and delicious… so much so that they were featured on Food Network!

After leaving a 5 star restaurant, Chef Henry Adaniya followed his passion and love for food to make the best gourmet haute dogs you have ever bit into. Specials include a lobster dog topped with scallops (Friday), a duck sausage topped with foie gras (Sunday), wild boar(Tues), buffalo (Thurs) , Kobe beef (Sunday) dogs all topped with a variety of toppings you'd never expect on a hot dog. The place has a vintage feel, going in stride with the nostalgic feelings that come with the childhood memories of hot dogs - roasting them over a fire, BBQ's, baseball/hockey/football games. And yup, this place got two thumbs up from Triple D, Guy Fieri himself There are some that love to unwrap electronics... we loved un-packaging the haute dogs! First one up was the Chicago , a Vienna all-beef hot dog that snapped nicely when you bit into it. Topped with ketchup, mustard,
