I was shopping on Magazine Street when I decided on a whim to eat here for lunch. Even though I decided to dine indoors, it was the outdoor patio dining area that drew me in with all the colorful seating and canopy above the tables. The decor inside is just as vibrant and colorful as it is outdoors. Fun paintings on the wall. There's a bar on the left hand side and booth seating on the right. You walk to the back to order and seat yourself. Cute drawing of a dog lying in a bun on the side of the napkin holder. The menu is above the counter, and it's a bit overwhelming. Who knew there were so many options for sausages. I decided on the Vegan Chipotle Sausage ($12.50). The list of toppings is even more extensive, which you can leave up to the chef, so you can guess, I decided to leave it up to the chef. I also purchased a fountain drink ($3.15). You give them your name when you pay, and they deliver your order to your table. While I was waiting, I also got a non-alcoholic drink at the bar, a Pacific Breeze ($5). It consisted of pineapple, passion fruit puree, and soda water. A deliciousness cold drink on a hot day. Staff called out my name and delivered my food. Wow! It was one loaded dog. Delicious. I approved of the toppings. If I had chosen, I may have over done it. Staff are super friendly. They were patient when ordering. I enjoyed the relaxed, chill environment. There's also a free standing ATM machine for your convenience. read more

Dat Dog is this great and fun, for lack of a better term, hotdog stand. This is a really fun little business on Magazine Street. Basically, you go into it, walk to the back of the shop, order up what you want, and go to your table and they'll bring it to you. Simple as that. They have a truly unique section of food orientated items. My favorite is there alligator sausage dog. But, they have all sizes and shapes of food offerings, including some designed for the vegans out there. Of course, have other items as well. So, even though this place, at least by my understanding, is focused on dogs, you can't find other fun items to eat here, as well. This location also has a self standing bar. From there, you can grab a great selection of beers, cocktails, and mocktails if that's your preference. At the bar, you order separately from ordering your food. Thus, you can have a great experience if you just want to come in and just have a drink and sit back at the bar. You can even talk to the bartender if you want to. Very nice. In terms of layout, they have interior seating, some booths along the one wall, plus a very expensive outdoor patio. So, weather permitting, if you're interested in breathing in some fresh air while you enjoy whatever it is you're eating and drinking at this establishment, it's a great place to do it. Overall, this is a really fun restaurant. I recommend you go there. read more

This kept popping up on reviews and recommendations so I had to try it. Great choice for sure ! I had the rougarou alligator and it great. The jalapeños had just enough bite and everything had tons of flavors. Great quick stop. read more

I hadn't been here in years, but this place was even better now than it was back then! We got the Flying pig which was very good. I was going to get one too, but the server convinced me to get a different one, that I cannot remember the name of, I think it might've been a limited time special they were doing? Whatever it was, having the coleslaw topped on it was sooo good. I hope I can get this again! The fries were also surprisingly tasty. I think I'll be coming back soon! read more

Wow, still wonderful. Dat Dog has a large menu, including vegan, but I never get passed the huge variety of dogs. At this point in our repeated visits, I have tried the Alligator, Andouille, Bratwurst, Crawfish, Duck, Holiday, and the Classic Frank Dogs, and there are many more to go. And all go well with a cold Abita and Chili-Cheese Tots. I have eaten at all three Dat Dog locations (Freet, Frenchmen and Magazine Streets), and they are all great, but Magazine is closest to my heart. It's ... cozier, friendlier, warmer ... and five blocks from where I always stay when visiting NOLA. So add convenient to that list. Seriously, I think the krew there are just the best, couldn't be nicer, more considerate, family-friendly, full-measure kind of people. The three restaurants have always been neat, clean, with plenty of in-side and out-side seating. So, when you are tramping up and down Magazine Street, I Highly Recommend you stop in, take a load off, cool down, and dig in. Oh, yes, there is a full bar.

Loveeee me some dat dog! I was in town visiting family and I've been gone for 2yrs. It didn't taste like it did in the beginning and seems like they cut back on the amount of toppings, but it was still good! They were super nice and everyone was helpful! I can't wait to go back home and try the new menu read more

Dat Dog - Vegan Banger added sport peppers - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Day Dog in New Orleans is serving up eats with serious flavor and zero pretense. Their all-beef chili and cheese hot dog is a beautiful mess--juicy, snappy, and smothered in a rich, meaty chili that laughs in the face of napkins. The cheese? Melted just enough to string along with every bite, making you question if one is ever enough (spoiler: it's not). It's the kind of indulgence that hits best after a few drinks or when you just need a hug in food form. read more

OMG BEST Hotdogs I've tried. Incredibly talented and creative hotdog recipes. I would have to come back a few more times to get to know more the menu. There's a patio and bar inside so there plants of room for bigger groups and families. Fun and friendly staff. Now, the only drawback is the wait. And be ready for it. We waited 20 minutes for two hotdogs in a slow Sunday lunch. read more

A delicious dog. I decided to build my own. I got smoked Brotsworth with grilled onions and cheddar cheese. It was pretty decent. The chili cheese tots were also delicious.

This was not as good as the Frenchmen street location. Hot dogs were not warm when they came out and it took an hour for the food to come! Tater tot's were cold. We got two hamburgers, two hot dogs and a salad. Even the soda didn't have bubbles in it from their machine, just flat sugary liquid. We couldn't believe how long it took. The service was friendly at the cashier despite maybe being overwhelmed. The seats and tables outside are also filthy and sticky, everything just felt dirty. Bathrooms and floor gross. It wasn't a great experience. The restaurant was not busy either. I was embarrassed because I hyped up the other location to my parents and it ended up being a disappointing lunch for how expensive it was too. read more

This was the second stop on an amazing food tour (check out New Orleans Secrets for a great tour!), and our tour guide ordered us the alligator sausage with entoufee sauce. Honestly, I was skeptical about even considering anything with gator in it, but this was honestly one of the best sausages I've ever had! The sausage has a nice crisp to it even boring into it, and the flavors of the sausage perfectly complimented each other with a little bit of a kick from some spice. I also loved the funky vibe of the place. read more

Such a fun atmosphere and delicious food! The bar has a wide selection of local drafts, a few cocktails and decent canned wine options. We have come here a few times to watch Florida Gator games as it's the NOLA gator club watch party location. It's always a good vibe, the game is on most of the TV's and sound is on for the games as well. Don't be dissuaded by the "hot dog bar" title. They know their food! All different kinds of sausage and and hot dogs as well as tons of toppings. Fresh hot tater tots and crispy battered fries accompany the selection of dogs. We had the Italian sausage with onions and peppers and it was so good! Piping hot and extremely tasty, even down to the bun. Chili cheese fries were perfectly covered and also piping hot and fresh. We will be back! read more

I've frequented Dat Dog many a times and am finally leaving a review. The fact I've frequented it many times should explain why I am giving it 5 stars. The hot dogs are always good. Fries are top of the line by the way. Pricey for a hot dog meal but worth it. Located on the great Magazine St. read more

Meh! The menu is all over the place, service was meh, taste is typical of a hot dog. We just happen to stroll in for a quick bite to eat.

The decorations were lovely, I absolutely loved the paintings; they gave off an amazing theme to the restaurant! 10/10 would highly recommend!! read more

We were shopping along magazine street and got hungry, decided to try one of these hot dogs from Dat Dog . It was a perfect day to sit outside in their backyard . Ambiance was playful and colorful. The music was cool too (rock/rap) but that hot dog was great !!! And for me to say a frankfurter is good means alot considering I dont ever eat franks , idc what you top them with . But if you're going to top a frank with crawfish I may eat them more often . The crawfish was tender and tasty. The frank itself was grilled not boiled (thank goodness) and I took my time eating it because again I'm not a frankfurter fan but my bun didnt get soggy (plus plus plus) Definitely did not enjoy my drink though . I honestly cant remember the name of it, definitely not a memorable drink but those franks ! Go there ! read more

I loved everything about this place! It's colorful, has a great oldies soundtrack, and friendly staff. I almost didn't stop in because I knew I was going to order a vegan item and they can be hit-or-miss at restaurants that are all about meat, but my vegan bratwurst was delicious. I don't remember when I've been impressed with a hot dog/brat, but it was the perfect balance of flavors with just enough relish, sauerkraut, onions, tomatoes, and mustard. I also had an order of tater tots. (No pictures of the food because I inhaled everything). I can see hanging out with friends in the outdoor sections, where they have a lot of fun games. Just a great atmosphere! read more

The food is delicious! The first time we visited was 5 years ago and it was so good we came back! We had a little bit of everything but don't sleep on the duck! Can't speak to the actual place because we got everything to go but it was quick, convenient, and the food was definitely just as good as we remembered! read more

Went in for a quick lunch while we were picking up a few things in the area. They're currently offering indoor and outdoor dining, but it was a drizzly day so we opted for sitting indoors. They have a hand sanitizing station at register where you order your food and drinks and the staff members were wearing masks and gloves. It's been what feels like an eternity since I last ate at Dat Dog so I went with my old faithful order - the bacon werewolf. It's a smoke brat topped with all kinds of yumminess - bacon, relish, grilled onions, sauerkraut, spicy mustard, and tomatoes. They provided a fork and knife but I just picked it up and dove right in. The brat was nice and juicy and the toppings pair well with it. We also got an order of the cheddar bacon ranch fries to split. These are delicious as well and we had none leftover. I also ordered a mulled wine since it was chilly with the doors open, and wasn't sure what to expect ordering mulled wine from a hot dog place but it was a delicious hot drink. read more

I've been going to Dat Dog for years! I don't eat hot dogs, but I like the look of them (weird.... I KNOW), so I go and I get the vegan hot dog. It is sooooo good. The drinks were amazing I got tipsy. I'm not a fan of the service, but I can live with cafeteria style service. You order in the back, get a number, they deliver. You go to the bar to order drinks. You clear your table when you're done. Not a fan, but I can make it work. read more

My hot dog was Burnt to a crisp. Over cooked and hard as brick. They dropped the ball on making a simple hot dog . A huge waste of money. Their response is it's burnt but still edible. Every table I sat was sticky, they do not clean their table, just a nasty place. read more

Dat Dog - An over cooked hot dog or you can say Burnt!! I can't tase nothing past the taste of burnt food. Not good. - Hot Dogs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So I've only ever been to the one on Feret St but was on Magazine St so I though I would stop for a quick Hot Dog. And that quick hot dog ended up waiting for 30 minutes even though the location was not crowded. It seems the excuse was that they were behind. First we sat at the bar thinking we would get a cocktail. After being ignored by the server at the other end of the bar, I decided to order at the window, which went smoothly enough. When I got back to my seat, my friend was finally able to order a drink, however, they said that they could not make an old fashioned which seems odd since they have sugar and bitters. When the food arrived after the long wait, both Hot Dogs were cold. It seems that the food runner didn't want to make multiple trips and had waited for a second order and brought them out together. I ordered the Chicago dog. Being from Illinois, I know what it is supposed to taste like. I get the no poppy seed bun, but the bun on the hot dog was hard/stale on the ends. There was also so much mustard on the hot dog, that was all you could taste. So unbalanced and the sport peppers never made an appearance either. Also had the tater tots which tasted like they were fried in the same oil as a fish product. The bar was filthy and sticky, the ketchup dispenser was empty, and they were out of drink lids. The whole experience was abysmal so this will be my first and only time here. read more

I live just a few blocks from the Marigny location, but found myself Uptown in need of a dog, so I knew where to go! Same perfect dogs (selection and quality) that I've grown to love at my neighborhood Dat Dog, but with an expansive, super cool patio and spotlessly clean indoor dining room that has me a bit envious. Super friendly staff at the food ordering station. Bartender was a little indifferent, but I get it. read more
