Kelly JanesApril 22, 2010BLT & Morning Jersey are my faves. Took a non-hotdog-lover from San Francisco- she got the Spicy Redneck and LOVED it- said she would come again before going home. Also- tater tots! Read more
CarolynJune 6, 2014Jon Jon Deragon bacon wrapped with hot sauce is 100% the most amazing thing ever created.
Gabe RoseJanuary 6, 2013Holy crap. This is easily the best late night food spot in manhattan. Get the tsunami dog.
Lily DvorkinaDecember 17, 2012PDT. If you have to ask you just don't know. Its pretty fab. Also hot dogs are the best I've ever had. ❤
Norris MingMay 27, 2014I always get the same thing my favorite the chihuahua dog. Who doesn't like avocado
Susan GFebruary 15, 2013Jon Jon Deragon with bacon and hot sauce, Chihuahua with salsa - amazing. Cheese fries are pretty good, too!
Spicy redneck, Chihuahua, and Tsunami are amazing. The burger is surpisingly great as well. Take care of the amazing staff and they'll take care of you
Travel ChannelNovember 14, 2011A great place for a hot dog and tator tots! As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
- DoubleDeuceNovember 18, 2018Catch a little snack as you trounce about St Mark's Place or get on the list for the phone booth.
Jake ClementsFebruary 4, 2018Enjoy a dog and some beers while watching people unsuccessfully try to get into please don’t tell.
The menu data on this place is wrong; it's definitely not $20-30 per entre. Get the Spicy Redneck. You'll probably be obliterated, but remember to be nice to the people that work there.
Marc JonesMarch 11, 2013Tight spot that gets crowded quickly. Dogs were pretty good. Next time I much try the fries as well.
Jon Jon deregon dog is awesome. Get a side of tots with cheese.
Try the Jon-Jon Deragon - The crif dog with a schmear of cream cheese, scallions & everything bagel seeds.
Jonathan L.October 6, 2015These hipster dogs will never top a Nathan's dog with mustard, kraut, and onions.
jon nguyenMay 1, 2013Try the Chili Dog - when feeling dirty goes right...nothing can go wrong when ur faced with a badass dog like this
emeFebruary 5, 2015Jon jon deragon w/ taylor ham is my jam. Bathroom is hard to miss but is adjacent to the PDT "phone booth".
Sid BFebruary 3, 2014Pretty damned good! Super Bowl dog was good, the Morning Jersey was solid, the tots are fab!
Randall BrownDecember 19, 2017Seems like everyone just comes here for Please Don’t Tell, but the hot dogs are super solid.- Damien Basile 😈March 1, 2010The tsunami dog is a must. Bacon, teriyaki, pineapple & green onions are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Also, make fun of the PDT first timers. A non-stop show!
Karen TapiaApril 14, 2016Had the spicy redneck pretty tasty but maybe a little too much mayo in the coleslaw ..
Best place to hit up after a night of drinking in the East Village.. dig into the Chihuahua dog... its delicious!!!
Allie McCormackSeptember 3, 2011The tsunami dog (bacon, teriyaki, pineapple, green onions) was delicious, but the sauce made the bun fall apart. Eat quickly!
Rock RainesJanuary 4, 2020Love that this place is still banging out killer dogs after all these years
Flor CuadrosJuly 27, 2013Tsunami dog is awesome! get avocado instead of bacon if you are not into it.
Chris DavisJune 26, 2011Killer music. The chillest hip-hop. The guy behind the counter even slipped me a piece of paper with the artist & song name on it when he saw me trying to use SoundHound.
