Jinnie LOctober 5, 2014Not the best hot dog in the world but hey~ u r in coney island! gotta try nathan's!! Pretty good hot dogs n *cheese fries* ;)
Edwin IrizarryAugust 21, 2016Lines are long but it's not because the food is great. It's because you got 20 supervisors 0 supervision and 40 employees with about 39 of them just waiting for their paycheck.
Martin JonassonMay 30, 2019A classic well worth trying on it's original location. Great in its simplicity.
Régis PouletApril 6, 2016The famous hotdogs ! The sausage in it is great but the bread is just regular. But it's a must anyway !
Theresa RoldanMay 22, 2016Really good but too expensive. If you do decide to go for it, a simple fries and sauerkraut hot dog will do you well
Rebecca BlakeJune 30, 2013There's a Nathan's outside Coney& 1 on boardwalk. Eat at the outside 1 first, then get your souvenirs at the one on boardwalk on the way out
Tom MengAugust 7, 2015Classic spot. A must do in Coney Island: enjoy a timeless hotdog from Nathan's
Stevan MilesevicAugust 7, 2014It's a Coney Island institution, what more can you say?! If you go to Coney you just have to stop for dogs at Nathan's!
Thomas KellyNovember 11, 2014The Original. ..HOT DOGS HOT DOGS HOT DOGS AND FRIES, BURGERS, ROAST BEEF AND FROGS LEGS ☆☆☆☆☆
💋StephanieMarie💋November 25, 2012After the Hurricane famous Nathan's was destroyed!!!! Amongst other businesses in Coney Island! Coney Island took a massive hit! & lost a trade mark! Nathan's will never be the same again!
Brenda ParisApril 17, 2017The franks there are super crunchy. Must be the ocean and that extra salt. Yum..
Alexandra TritzAugust 16, 2016There is a lot of options to eat and be aware that the lobster roll comes in a hamburger bun !
Jeffrey GilesSeptember 27, 2014Highly overrated. Made the trip all the way to Coney Island to see what the 80+ year fuss was all about....NOTHING! But the boardwalk was fun!- JPJuly 28, 2015Classic American hot dogs and fries. Come every year for the 4th of July Hot Dog Eating contest!
Sean SmithOctober 4, 2015No trip to Coney Island is complete without a trip to Nathan's. Love grabbing a hotdog with peppers and onions.
Erica ChangFebruary 19, 2014Big restaurant with small sitting area, had to wait a little till there's a table. Music was pretty old school American. Washroom on the side of the building.
Anthea PenaJune 6, 201296yr legend. long lines but worth it. Try lobster rolls, cheesesteaks & burgers but dogs are a must
Tara DeVincenzoAugust 20, 2015the "clams" are delicious (but don't be fooled- they're just little fried strips)
Expensive for hotdogs but its the original hot dog from Coney Island. Make sure you go to the one on the boardwalk. Surf avenue one is an extension
Cleasaí an DuineAugust 4, 2015Typical tourist trap with long, but managable, lines. The beef franks will leave you wanting more so be sure to pile up.
Lulu AnguloMay 18, 2012Have a cheese hot dog and a beer. It's the best combination. Don't ever think about eating anything else. Don't make that mistake.
Polina WeitzFebruary 26, 2017Hotdog with sauerkraut was ok. Didn't like the sauteed onions, but the fries were fresh. Try the Coney Island mermaid beer!
Wow, get on line and hope for the best. 20 minutes and I was second on line. Mostly hipsters and old timers now anyway. RIP NATHANS
Florence RobertJuly 21, 2014I waited 15 minutes in line to order, and the whole time I was there, not even one person in my line got their food! & the other lines were super slow. I left. Famous hot dogs. Bad and slow service.
Jessie CatanaSeptember 29, 2015Landmark, delicious NY hot dogs. Sauerkraut and mustard. Nothing else needed.
TW ✈️👸🏻May 25, 2021This is the big restaurant across the street from the subway station... vs the “stand” on the boardwalk.
Jennie PaiSeptember 2, 2013Everyone should try nathans famous at coney island at least once....well worth the trip
LauraJune 2, 2014Took a trip on the subway to get to Coney Island 27.6.14 only to find that the fair was closed! Luckily Nathan's was open & we bought a couple of dogs - pretty tasty, shame there is no seating
al viciedoSeptember 6, 2010Get a hotdog, put mustard and ketchup on it. Get cheese fries and old fashioned lemonade. Eat on the grass in the new park by the boardwalk Nathans. Enjoy!
MatSeptember 1, 2012Many tips here are by people who got too much sun shining on their head. Hotdog is only random, nothing special, fries are quite okay. Medium coke is enough for 2 people. :-)
Scott KleinbergJuly 4, 2013Don't be tempted by the giant menu. Get 2 hot dogs and a medium French fries. Trust me.
Calorie counts give a great indication of how much beer you get for small, medium, and large
John HronowskiSeptember 13, 2013You can't get a special meal with their hot dogs at Coney Island like they have at other Nathan's
Catherine FarlandJune 16, 2015A New York landmark but not the best hotdogs in New York go to crif dogs for that.
