Took 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

Watch out for the two black ladies walking around asking for a dollar or "money so they can buy something to eat." They might ask you more than once or start begging.

You can't get a special meal with their hot dogs at Coney Island like they have at other Nathan's

Everything is on point to eat here.

If you want to actually see the participants at the Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest, make sure to get there at least 90 minutes early. Bring water (so you don't have to buy any). Read more

All hype. Dogs from the cart are 100% better.
Mike JohnsonJuly 20, 2017
History, in wiener form. Also cheap, giant beers.
Roberto MarchiJuly 23, 2016
You should try the hot dog where it was created 100 years ago!
Racky RossDecember 15, 2014
Clams and fries. Or fries with cheddar and bacon. What should I go for?
Brandon GuarinoJuly 4, 2013
Been here 5+ times
Print out the $1 online hot dog coupons before you go. Otherwise your wallet will hurt for a hot dog.
HelenMay 22, 2014
Perfect end to a foot race. Large beer and bacon cheese fries.
Rob ParrillaAugust 11, 2012
The kid's special is the way to go. Best value and sized just right.
Robert CiglianoAugust 14, 2019
Best hit dogs in the world!
Mark AlstonJuly 29, 2023
Chili cheese fries and a onion dog!
AurélienMarch 25, 2015
Probably the best hot dog of the world! Eating contests every summers.

A hot dog and fries are all you need!

Keep it simple - hot dog and fries. None of this cheese topping thing
Ben GaspariniOctober 3, 2016
Try the frog legs for something different. Just don't devour them drunk.

Hot dogs, fries and their really good packaged brownies.
Kaisa HernbergJuly 10, 2016
The worst-tasting fish burger I've ever had. Nuff said.
Erin PomyOctober 27, 2012
Crinkle fries! Watch out for the dive by bombings from the birds..
Jennifer IrizarryAugust 21, 2016
Awful service! If you want to wait for hot dogs you could get at the grocery store where supervisors are joking around themselves while customers wait in line be my guest.
Sarah CruzMay 12, 2013
Nathan's on surf be is still under renovation from sandy. Don't fret, can still get your dog fix on here.
lOYDA pAGANJune 20, 2016
The best. Wait forever in line though. Enjoy!
DallasAugust 10, 2014
Orangeade and the chili cheese fries are just as good as the dogs.
Carmen NJuly 4, 2016
It's a classic institution and every NYer should experience it.
Jeff ForbesAugust 15, 2015
Be aware: the large beers are super large (64 oz).
Sibely N. K.September 2, 2014
Hot dog heaven!!! Mustard and relish... Perfect 💗
Staci StevensAugust 15, 2019
The bacon, ranch jalapeño fries were delish
Lisa LSeptember 26, 2014
An American staple!!!! Grab huge beers for cheap!!
Angela LeeMarch 28, 2011
The line grows during lunch. It's partially under construction now, but the hot dogs and cheesy fries still taste so good! :)
Lori-Ann de ChavitanoAugust 10, 2014
It's your general Nathan's hot dog and fries but it has a more authentic feel.
Sofia FigueroaJune 3, 2016
Original hotdog, that should be your only option.
Tom HJune 12, 2018
Yay for the food, nay for the wait in the sweltering heat (was 45 minutes for me)
Arnold MarquezApril 15, 2015
The best Chilli cheesedog I've ever tasted!

It was the first! One bite and go
Michael NicholsonSeptember 4, 2017
Always gotta make it here for frankfurters and fries 😩.
DanJuly 27, 2013
The Surf Street store is less busy than the Boardwalk store. Same food less of a wait
Marianne NJune 15, 2018
Yummy and busy
PaulNovember 16, 2013
Pro-tip: an extra large beer is 42oz. and only $7.25.
JohannaJuly 24, 2016
You'll avoid the insane crowds and condiments mess if you go soon after they open.
Theresa GarlandJuly 14, 2019
The semáforos platter! I am full as a Rick!
Justin LawesJune 9, 2012
The chili dogs are delicious at first. They don't feel so great afterward.
A Victor (SU-3) Murray, IIIJune 19, 2011
Best frogs legs anywhere!! No fu-fu dress up. Just deep fried with tarter sauce in a paper basket.
TataJanuary 23, 2014
Don't eat here if you love your body, but enter just to feel the vibe of oldfashioned Nathan's near Coney Island
Brendan SpiegelFebruary 22, 2012
You have to almost start a fight to even get to the front of the line. But no NYC summer is complete without a foot-long by the Atlantic. Read more
LA TONYA WADEMay 19, 2015
The hot dogs, shrimps, frog legs, fries...
Erik WeberJuly 13, 2019
The most inefficient ordering and fulfillment ever. Be prepared to wait in line for a frustratingly unnecessary amount of time
