DC-3 is a hot dog shop and compared to the options along this end of the B concourse, it's definitely less expensive. I got one hot dog with a bunch of toppings and it was only around $5. Compared to the pizza or the burger place, that's a decent deal. They do have a cooler of sodas available. No beer. My hot dog was way overdone but was still quite tasty and well topped with mustard and onions and relish. read more

AVOID like the plague. They literally didn't even know how to make the items. They were reading the instructions off the posted menu and still somehow managed to botch it. Chicago dog had bell peppers on it?? There is a 5 guys right next door. Suck it up and get in line. Pretty good chance youll still get your food faster. read more

Got the half smoke hot dog. Was it worth $6.50? Nope. But it's airport food. Just don't expect Costco sized hotdog for the price you pay.

Okay. I had the Cincinnati Coney, fries and a coke. The coke was the best part. I wonder if the idea to make something "Cincinnati" is to dump overly salty bland chili and shredded cheese on a hot dog. Not so great. The fries were better but they're just fries Airport prices. read more

DC-3 Hot Dog Joint - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

A pretty limited selection of beer on draft for a place that has "craft brews" in its name. I was hoping for the beer equivalent of Vino Volo. Such is not the case. But service was very quick. The chili was pretty good and I didn't have to wait very long for it to arrive. It's a decent place to grab a beer while waiting for a flight. read more

DC-3 Hot Dog Joint - people sitting at the bar - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Limited choices for breakfast early AM at IAD. I wanted something different than the bagel breakfast sandwich others offer and the Breakfast Dog really works. The sweetness of the chicken apple sausage and the kick of the Pico is good. Totally messy though. read more

DC-3 Hot Dog Joint - Breakfast Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

The concept of DC-3-all sorts of regional hot dogs--is a good one. The execution, however is really lacking. In particular, they simply seem to lack many of the ingredients featured on the menu: a "Chicago style" dog lacked sport peppers, celery salt and mustard (?!). All were promised. Non delivered. Onions were clearly pre-chopped and tasted awful. The hot dog itself had a small bone fragment in it. Not unhealthy but...ewww. I went here only because I could do it without waiting. I won't make the same mistake twice. Avoid at all costs. read more

Very limited menu; no substitutions or changes. Forget what you've seen on-line, there is NO selection here at all. Only a couple of choices and you can't change anything. No customization of a plain dog. Counter staff utterly clueless. Very disappointing. Would never go again. read more

Whenever I go to an airport (especially Dulles), I usually resign myself to having to eat expensive unremarkable food. My boyfriend and I came in with this attitude to DC-3, the only open food place at the time, and came out pleasantly surprised! This was an impressively delicious and stand-out fast food airport dining experience! - Breakfast hotdog (I forget the menu name) - My stomach wasn't quite awake but this is a hotdog joint so I figured I needed to try their namesake. A customer next to me even remarked, "I couldn't eat a hot dog for breakfast!" But somehow this dog hit all the marks without weighing me down. Part of the secret was in the chicken apple sausage, which was nicely meaty yet sweet and light. The tomatoey salsa added a surprisingly tasty freshness without making the dog too soggy. And the mayo-style sauce and the egg balanced everything out with a little creaminess. I expected something heavy, oily, or too salty, but this did a great job of tiding me over without weighing me down. - Breakfast croissant sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon - My boyfriend really enjoyed this! It was simple yet tasty. It tasted fresher than the average airport breakfast sandwich. Overall, not a bad option for an early morning Dulles breakfast, and I'd be happy to eat here again! read more

I used to love the DC-3 location on Capitol Hill in DC and although it closed I had some hope that since this location carries on with the branding and the menu that it might still have some of the magic I miss from the old location. Turns out the branding and the menu are the only things surviving because the food here is just not good at all. The Philly dog used to have real Cheese Whiz and was served on a delicious pretzel roll. Not any more -- some average roll and some very low quality liquified cheese product of unknown origin. The Chicago 7 similarly used to be served on a poppy seed roll as it's supposed to be. Now some average roll. Really unimpressive visit. I won't be back. read more

Total disappointment, ordered Chicago dog, picture looked right, poppyseed bun and everything else. Guy grabs a roll w/ cornmeal. I ask him if he out of poppyseed buns and he says no, but he keeps preparing the dog, so I'm guessing he's making a different dog? He then puts the other ingredients on, I see him shake the celery salt and I realize he doesn't know what a Chicago dog really is. Rather than fight the language/culture barrier, I grudgingly take the dog. I then realize it's missing sport peppers as well. What a disappointment! But then again, this was at Dulles Airport, so why did I expect anything more? Bleck!!! read more

Should have read the reviews. I ordered hot tea ?$ and plain bagel $2.50. Asked for it to be toasted with butter. Bagel wasn't toasted and stale. Got charged for bagel with cream cheese $4.40 and bottled tea $3.95 which is always more money than hot water and a Lipton tea bag. Complained to cashier that I got charged incorrectly. She just totally blew me off and said that was the price. I pointed out that is not what is posted on the menu. Too early on a Sunday to argue with ignorance and deception. STAY AWAY!!! read more

The food is actually surprisingly good here, and nothing wrong with the service. On these alone I could give a 4-Star rating. What I have to bring the rating down for is the backwards, sexist language on the wall commiserating the "simpler times" when "flight attendants looked like beauty pageant contestants and pilots were heroes." Women are not working grueling hours making sure that planes are safe and that passengers can get where they need to be as a prize for men to look at. AND, men do the job of flight attendant too. DC-3 should join the rest of us in the 21st century and take this sexist dribble off its wall. read more

DC-3 Hot Dog Joint - Sexist dribble on the wall of DC-3 wishing for "simpler times" when "flight attendants looked like beauty pageant contestants." Eww. Creepy. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Ordered my breakfast burrito. Waited 15 minutes for it and when they called the order, I went to go pick it up and they didn't believe that I ordered it so they gave it to the person who ordered it after me. They made me go grab my crumbled receipt to prove my purchase then I had to wait again for my food. I get it if it's a standard procedure to check everyone's receipt but they had not checked anyone's receipt prior. Maybe I am being extra irritated given that it's 5am but it felt very humiliating to have everyone stare at me like I was stealing someone else's order. read more

Great food, very friendly staff. Tasted fresh and hot. This is the one in B terminal at Dulles Airport. Would recommend. read more

Not one to ever leave a review let alone a bad one ... but THIS breakfast croissant was absolutely to throw up for. Don't even think twice go elsewhere read more

This was so good when it was in capital hill. Unfortunately the flimsy and limp attempt to reproduce a delicious experience in the district was an utter failure. The Sonoran was so gross my wife stopped eating it halfway and ran to the lounge to recover. The fries were pathetic. RIP DC-3(capital hill). read more

Had an early flight and needed a quick bite. This seemed like my best option so grabbed a quick breakfast sandwich. Service was pretty quick and the food was decent. It's not on the top of my list and would do in a pinch. I just would not seek this place out. read more

After listening to my mother rant and rave about the great dogs at DC-3. I decided to check them out. I stopped by to get a #1, a Tucson Sonoran. OMG, the best! The place was very clean and the staff friendly. They got me in and out quickly, as I was traveling for business. On the return flight, I stopped and got two plane jane dogs for my kids and a three #1's for me, wife and mom. The kids and wife loved it. A+++. Thank you, Leon read more

This fine establishment used to have a location close to my friends house in DC, and we would eat there often. When I heard it was closing and relocating to Dulles of all places, we were pretty bummed. Now the only good cheap food around his part of DC is Pizza Boli. Eventually I had to fly somewhere, and I made damn sure this was the place Id go, no matter how far from my flight (a 10 minute walk, close to the walk from my DC pals place). And lo and behold, its just as good at the airport as it was in DC. I ordered the Chicago dog, to me the best style of hot dog. My argument is this: a chili dog, or the like, is nice, but a lot of hot dog variations tend to smother the flavor of the actual hot dog. The Chicago dog works WITH the flavor of the hot dog, rather than burying it in a delicious pile of condiments. And true to form, dc-3's Chicago dog was killer. It was stuffed to the top with tomato, crunchy and spicy hot peppers, that weird but tantalizing nuclear-waste green pickle relish. Lets not forget the spear of pickle, some chopped onions, a healthy dose of mustard, all on a poppy seed bun of course. It took a while to come out but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Ive also had at the old location the West Virginia dog (chili and coleslaw - oh dear Lord), and the Korean-toppings dog, which were both great, but stick with the Chicago style if you ask me. They serve fries but theres nothing really memorable unless you put chili cheese on them (and why bother when half the menu is chili-centric anyways?). This is good, inexpensive food, and satisfying. Please reopen the closed DC location. Or anywhere in DC. Its in your name. DC-3. Dont stay Dulles-3 forever. We miss you! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite for breakfast and got the Walk of Shame Burrito. The hash browns were crunchy and delicious, the eggs were spread throughout, and the DC white sauce was bomb. I don't write reviews but I was pleasantly surprised by how good the burrito was and felt I needed to write my first review for it. The service was fast and the staff was very friendly. read more

Sat at bar. Bartender saw me, walked right past, and didn't come back for at least ten minutes. That's when I left. No greeting, no I'll be right back. read more

This place should be avoided. Bartender was not attentive. Maybe he was drunk or something. Manager was awful and was rude to two people before addressing others with problems. They need better customer service. Waitress for food was awesome. Brat was great. Bar Service and manager ruined the experience. read more

Good hot dogs and better fries...Nice little grab and go section as well if you want a wrap or yogurt.. You should give this place a try if ever at IAD... read more

DC-3 Hot Dog Joint - Dc Half smoke.... - Hot Dogs Near Me - Dulles, Virginia

Kitchen was chaos and staffs were not smart enough to make a hot dog. I got different kind of hod dog and it was not good at all

I visited this place today 9/4/17 and The big women behind the bar had the nastiest attitude. Nobody needs that kind of attitude at 730am. I see why this place has bad review, plus the service was very slow. read more

It's the best hot dog place!!!! I don't like hot dogs generally, but this is the only place where I will eat them!!!! So if you like hot dogs or even if you don't like hot dogs, you need to try this place because it will make you love hot dogs! I wish I flew more frequently, so I could eat there more often!! In addition, the service is amazing. The people working there are super friendly, helpful, and super fast, which is important when you are in a rush to catch your flight! Overall great place and wouldn't wanna eat anywhere else before my flight! read more

We stopped by to grab a quick drink before heading out to the West Coast. Service was inconsistent and the drink menu was limited. DC Craft Brews was the closest bar near our gate. We should have check Yelp and gone to Bar Symon instead (located in the same Concourse D). read more

Ive seen other reviews mention the lack of actual craft brews but they seem to have resolved that as i was able to order a dead rise (beer with old bay!) and they had a dogfish head (but only one). That said, the menu wasnt appetizing to me and given the other reviews and unisipiring feel of the place, and the good reviews for bar symon down concourse, i bailed. read more

In the five minutes I was there, I saw two roaches. There was no system for orders to be fulfilled - just whoever happened to be nearest to the counter. Tried eating my burrito. Couldn't get those roaches out of my head. read more

Hello there. I was just at this establishment. I had ordered a drink and was planning on ordering some food. About five minutes after I was sitting at the bar a very rude man approached me; his name was Todd and he was apparently the manager, and told me I had to take my sunglasses off ( they're prescription and extremely light) because I was having an alcoholic beverage. I am appalled at the services received from the employees as well as Todd; the manager. I can not see at all without my perscriptuon glasses on and the reason they are slightly tinted with a rose color is because my eyes are extremely sensitive to indoor light. Airports have the worst lighting for my eyes. It literally hurts without my glasses. Mr Todd had no right what so ever to tell me weather I can or can not wear my perscripion glasses. Nor does any person as this is America. I can wear glasses if I need to. Specially if they're perscripion. I am outraged. The owners of this establishment should rethink they're choice of employees. Discraseful read more

Disappointing beer selection, rude waitstaff and poor quality food- take your money somewhere else.

The name of this place is a lie. They were out of every draft craft brew (almost). So zero stars. But the food is decent and at the time it was the only place with working ac in Dulles, plus two stars. read more

Between Daniel and the chilli - I was too happy to care about a long layover or being soaking wet from the lane. I look forward to layovers in DC now! read more

It is so worth it and should try, best hotdog ever and the service is awesome, very nice and helpful I will grade it 100/100.

Michael was extremely accommodating and helpful. I was traveling with two young kids on a very delayed flight and he went out to the gate to acquire information. He continually updated me on anything he heard and was efficient in taking care of the bill and our needs as travelers. read more

I'm a huge hot dog fan and I know when a hot dog is good. I absolutely love this place and I wish I could travel every day to be at this place. Service is number one in the airport terminal, and very friendly staff. A restaurant isn't anything without great customer service. I love this place!!!! read more

Okay. Just okay , it's airport food ... Our service was quick enough ... We were mostly just glad to be able to get some food that wasn't candy after our flight were the only options with out tree nuts - I have an allergy - were m&m s and chips read more
