Very busy when we wet on a weekday… food came in pretty quick and hot. It’s a great place to get your hotdog cravings satisfaction. Really easy ordering their kiosk too.. staff are busy and still have time to be very accommodating still.

The first place we went after getting off the subway on our day trip to Coney Island was to the original Nathan’s Famous restaurant on the corner of Stilwell St & Surf St, about 200 yards from the subway station.
We had read about this famous restaurant, which began in 1916 as a nickel hot dog stand in Coney Island operated by Nathan Handwerker a Jewish-Polish immigrant, and wanted to try their famous hot dogs.
There’s a seafood section on the left hand side as you enter the long Surf St store front and a hot dog section on the right. I ordered the original hotdog with sautéed onions & a large pint of draft Brooklyn beer for my wife and a chilli dog with sautéed onions & extra jalapeños with 1/2 pint of the draft Coney Island Mermaid IPA beer for myself, at one of the self order kiosks. The kiosks only accepted credit card payments and I’m not sure if you could pay with cash. I choose the eating in option, paid $40 and waited for a server to call out my name to pick up my order from the counter. It wasn’t busy on our visit so our food & drinks came out pretty quickly.
Ketchup, mustard, napkins & plastic cutlery were provided on self service carts by the entrances to the store. After loading up on mustard & Ketchup on our hot dogs, we found a table in the large outdoor seating area, which had restrooms at the far end of it.
The hot dogs were very tasty on fluffy, soft lightly toasted rolls & I particularly enjoyed the extra bit of heat & crunch provided by the fresh jalapeños on my hot dog. My wife’s Brooklyn beer was a dark hoppy beer & my Coney Island Mermaid IPA beer was lighter & fruity. Both beers were refreshingly cold and perfectly accompanied our hot dogs.
The hot dogs are fairly small so I went back to the counter and ordered 4 delicious chicken tender pieces (which were perfectly crunchy on the outside, tender & moist inside) accompanied by a fantastic honey mustard sauce, together with another Nathan’s original hotdog to share, for $15.
We really enjoyed our first experience of Nathan’s Famous food and beers sitting outdoors in the hot late summer sun, near the sea
We passed another Nathan’s store when we walked along the Boardwalk and just managed to resist our urges to have another of their delicious hotdogs

Hot Dog
From a historic standpoint, this casual hot dog restaurant is a goldmine. This is the original location that originally started out as a hot stand in the early 20th century. The annual Fourth of July hot dog eating contest is held here. And it is conveniently only footsteps away from the Coney Island Boardwalk.
Hot Dog:
On a positive note, there was no extra charge for the sautéed onions in the frankfurter. Sadly, the hot dog did not live up to the hype. The dog was served room temperature and the bun looks like it has seen better days. Its taste was average at most and I felt the effort attempt wasn’t there.
Overall, if you are in the area and need a quick bite, I’d suggest pulling up. Otherwise, you will be highly disappointed if you make a special trip expecting the hot dog of the century.

Had to visit the original location of my favorite chilli dogs! Love those classic fries as well.
Great snap to the dogs and the famous chilli recipe did not disappoint. Fries were on point as well.
Very quiet because I went during the off-season, but it was a Birthday treat and did not disappoint!

Not much to be said about this place that hasn’t been said before. Iconic NYC spot to try. I went in the off season so it wasn’t crazy. Good dogs and big beers. Expect major tourist destination prices

I stopped by Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island since it’s such a well-known spot. The place has that classic boardwalk vibe, and it was fun to finally try their original hot dog. Honestly though, the hot dog itself was just okay—nothing particularly special to me. It was nice for the experience and the history behind it, but taste-wise, it didn’t really stand out, yet was quite pricy.

They used to have tables inside, but no more so we ate outside & it was freezing with the wind. Couldn’t even take photos of all the food. Sodas were $4.99! We got 1 chicken sandwich, 1 chili dog, cheese fries, 1 red clam chowder, 1 white clam chowder, frog legs. All cost $88. Frog legs tasted like chicken.

This was our first visit to NYC. During a tour we went to Coney Island! We decided to try the original Nathan’s! It was really good. My wife ordered a chili cheese hot dog. I got the chopped cheese hero! Both were really good! We shared some french fries! The fries were good but too thick for our taste!

Besides being the counter girls thirteenth reason, this was amazing. A truly different take than the Chicago dog I’m used to. I loved the onions and am still figuring out how they were cooked.

Such a cool place! As soon as I walked by, the smell coming from inside and made me want to try it (so much that I couldn’t resist to eat it without taking a picture). The atmosphere is fun and inviting, definitely worth stopping by!
