The best place in New Orleans! Hans has been our server twice so far (we went three times within 12 hours) and is the coolest dude in NOLA. Cannot recommend enough!
I have to hit this place up every time I come to town. I have not had one bad meal in all of the times I have been there. I recommend the crawfish dog. Excellent.
This is the place to go for loaded hot dogs! You can choose from their speciality dogs or create your own. The ingredients are great quality and the price is a good deal.
I'm from Detroit, so unless you've had a Detroit Coney you cannot understand why I'm a tough sell. These were good, good price for what ya get, and creative. On Frenchman St, so always a treat eating out on the balcony and watching people.
So good! We had the Guinness and Crawfish dogs. They have the best bread I've ever tasted! Side note: I was not impressed with the fries. We had the bacon cheese ranch ones. Toppings were good but fries were mediocre. Still giving 5 stars for amazing original hot dogs!
NOTE: this review is for the Lakeside Mall location, which isn't listed currently.
I don't normally eat out for hot dogs. But after a local friend recommend Dat Dog, and I saw the options, it seemed worth a shot. I had the Werewolf Bacon dog (bacon, kraut, onions, creole mustard) and the WTF fries. (Jalapeño, cheese, tomatoes, chili, sour cream and guac) First and foremost, however many napkins you think you will need, double that. Second- the buns that Dat Dog uses are redonkulous. And their options are endless: regular dogs, smoked sausage, alligator sausage, shrimp sausage, and many more. I have one gripe. With all the attention to detail and creative ingredients, it's hard to believe that they would use canned chili. Some fresh, homemade chili would bring this review to a 5. Not a cheap meal ($18 with tip for one dog, deluxe fries and a bottle of water) but worth every penny.
I was told this place was a whole in the wall, more of a drunk food place. But wow this place was AMAZING! Crazy dog options with about a million toppings. Really interesting choices. Go here!
Rachel recommended this place and I will love her forever for it! These hot dogs have changed my life! We got the duck special dog and the alligator awesomeness. To call the "hot dogs" seems to under rate them. Dillin totally hooked us up by dressing out dogs for us. LOVED it!
Very friendly bar service.
Alligator dog with chefs suggestion toppings was very well balanced and tasted very good.
Cheesy fries were good although in hindsight would order normal fries. Good atmosphere.
We always enjoy a great hot dog and drinks at Dat Dog, whenever we are in town.
Whatta dog!. One of the best dogs I've ever had. The bun is steamed AND grilled. The variety of toppings is adventurous! I had olive salad on my all pork dog. Fries are great. Next time I'm in the Quarter I'm headed east down Chatres, across Esplanade to Frenchman to Dat Dog immediately! Friendly service and full bar. Loved it.
PUT YA NAME ON IT!!!. Had the turduken sausage topped with crawfish, mustard and jalapenos. One of the greatest things i've ever tasted in my life...... i could eat here everyday....
This place is so colorful and cute! Plenty of seats inside, and lots of outdoor seating as well. Everyone in our party ordered something different, but we all LOVED it! Since it is cooked to order, we figured we may be waiting a while, but it wasn't long at all. Service was good, and they were helpful in answering our questions. Would love to go back if I ever visit the area again!
Was told by many to try these hot dogs during my visit. It can get very busy in this place, we was offered to sit upstairs with no wait. That was fun! The upstairs was empty! We sat on the balcony, had a few drinks with the duck and alligator dog….both great… so great went back before turning in for the night! Recommend if you like “whole in the wall” type food. to each his own!
Delicious food. The staff were really friendly and shared their favorites. Everything was so delicious. We tried the duck dog special (off menu), etouffe dog, and alligator dog. And loaded etouffe fries as well. There was fun illustrations of the different hot dogs painted across all the windows. 🌭
This place is so cool looking, the staff is freaking fantastic, helpful, and way nicer than they have any right being. When you get to the hot dogs they are also DELICIOUS. I'm not super into hot dogs because there's so many reasons where they can go wrong but my friend and husband wanted to go and I was hungry. Absolutely beyond expectation. We got the crawfish etouffe dog. Delicious. My friend is vegetation and they have a lot of really good options that I, as a meat eater, was strongly considering because they sounded so tasty.
Go here.No regrets.
We happened to stop in by chance but I'm glad we did. Initially I was put off by the demeanor of the worker standing in front of the food pickup area. No smile, no welcoming attitude. I'm assuming the manager was the next person that spoke to us, he was more approachable and asked if we had been helped. Ordered our food and drinks, the wait was longer than expected especially when there was only one couple in there before us. Overall the food was good, the "burger" hotdog was obviously a little joke among the table. As we were finishing up more customers were filing the small spot. I'd say, give it a try if you are in the area.
The amount of choice for the type of hot dogs is insane!! All type of meat to please anyone, even vegetarians. I have tried the crocodile and the duck ones, and they were both amazing! Also, the staff there are so friendly. Don’t really pay attention to the time indicated on Google, they are open late, we were there past midnight, we were so thankful to find them open!
Super good food y'all! Loved the service. It was so busy and they still were able to show the love to their customers. The dogs were outrageous and the fries were perfect. Thr Rougarou alligator dog was amazing with the jalepenos and bacon. I'm going back before I leave town for sure. Y'all should do the same.
Fun hot dog spot, loaded up dogs come in a variety of configurations and are really yummy.
They also have a great selection of vegetarian options which was a pleasant surprise.
Exactly what you need after a night of drinking and taking in the sights on Frenchman.
Loved this place. Found it because we were trying to find a low-key place to eat something quick, while still able to sit down.
The cooks were super sweet! Told us about all the different types of dogs there and even explained different parts of the menu. Food was amazing. I loved that they had vegan options for me and meat options for my friends.
One small complaint (which was not the fault of the establishment) was that the location was very warm and the tables were low for several of the booths. Otherwise - everything else was great!
How can hot dogs be this good? So delicious, so many different ways of hot dogs, so fun vibe, open late. Perfect after jazz club. Probably best hot dog I ever tasted.
