the outside of a restaurant with tables and umbrellas
Kevin D.

Great dog, needs some TLC on the interior First stop on our epic hot dog day. A Trek leading us to most of the major hot dog meccas in the state, in honor of one of the community events. We came to this place first because it was on the way to the end of the list, and why not have a hot dog to snack on while going to get more hot dogs?! This Frankies is a little run down. the common touch surfaces are clean, but there's lots of dust and dirt along the sils and the exhaust vents. I felt fine eating here, but I did make a note. We order a Georgia hot and a Mac n Bacon dog. They take a few minutes to come out, but once they did I made my way to the booth, took pics, and dug in. A very solid showing! The dog was split and grilled, which I appreciate. Same with the georgia hot, but that had a more solid sear on it. The georgia hot didn't really have spice to it. we were expecting a little heat but the heat never came. The mac and bacon dog was good. mac and cheese was standard fare frozen dinner warmed up mac and crispy bacon. The hot dog was a good quality though. Overall, a good start to an epic day. The place isn't the nicest to sit at, but order to go and you'll be good

Hot dog combo!

I've been going to Frankie's for years! I love the hot dogs, Georgia hots, fries, smoothies and fried broccoli/ mushrooms. The food is good. They don't really serve you, they just call out your number and you get your own condiments so I can't really speak on the customer service.. oh and the have Birch beer !!

Georgia Hot Dog  Curly fries

First time eating at this restaurant One of the best Georgia hots I've eaten The fries were the right crispyness and the right color And their pickles were really good in my opinion And the staff that took my order was very nice and patient with me while I decided what I wanted to order.

Huge menu and fantastic employees with pretty good food. I've had Frankie's growing up in Waterbury, CT so I knew what I was there for. A great hot dog and clak strips dinner . They take your order and the receipt has a number on it. They have many items like seafood, burgers,hotdogs and three types of fries . The prices are good.

You turn your plan dog into a master piece with the very clean relish table.

If your a Hot Dog Lover this is good not great it has little bit of everything from deep fried sea food to home made Empanadas but you get exactly what you ask for nothing breathtaking just good quality, I ordered 2 Beef hot dogs the buns buttered and toasted golden brown the beef dogs deep fried it works. One more thing Frankies floors restrooms very very clean

classic Frankies dog with delicious toppings, and awesome fries

Frankies hot dog is THE BEST, in my book. We waited for months to try this location after the one and only location in Florida closed some time ago, and the wait was so worth it. One night stay in West Haven on a recent trip, and we went here twice in the space of a few hours, no questions asked, no need to even think! Why all the love? I lose count. I am a self-service whore, and Frankies has that, and has that PLENTY. And I just loved the old-fashioned, handle-spinning dispensers for toppings like home style relish, raw onion, sweet relish, pickles, and of courses, ketchup and mayo. Their footlong sausage is, I don't even know for sure how they cook it, but I love that lean, grilled flavour and texture, not to mention the toasted hot bun. PERFECTION. Staff were friendly enough and food came out hot quickly, the menu was huge and varied with all sorts of special deals and combos, at dirt cheap prices. I don't care what others might say, but this to me is the quintessential all-American dog, if only because Frankies dog was my first ever American hot dog. I wish them well and I hope they last for ever and ever, so we can return and enjoy in the future.

(Last visited in September of 2023.) Hanging out in New Haven, CT after doing some day-drinkin' and…read moreit's time to soak up the alcohol before we head back home so we stopped into Jordan's Hot Dogs & Mac who have been around for over a decade to see what it's hittin' for! Atmosphere/Appearance: No frills. Straightforward comfort food spot. TVs on the wall, black wooden paneling, some beat-up booths, bright-lighting and loud music. Lol. You're here for the food, nothing else. Service: You go up to the counter to order your food then it's brought out to you so nothing crazy, but very simple. Food: I got to sample quite a few things here, so let's go through them, but first I just want to let y'all know that this is a B.Y.O.B. spot! Woo! The O.G. Mac Dog: It's macaroni & cheese, bacon, jalapenos on an all-beef hot dog. There were so many different hot dogs to choose from, but I had to go with the original. This was SO FLAVORFUL. It tasted like a Nathan's dog, (but is actually a Hormel's dog), but altogether it was fantastic. The mac & cheese was creamy, the bacon was crispy and the jalapenos added just a hint of spice and a little acid. This would be the perfect thing to sober you up after a day/night of partying. Sweet Potato Fries: These were cool. They were crispy and very simple. They could use a bit more salt, but it was all good. Onion Rings: These didn't look like they were made here and that's fine. It's like I've seen these before at other restaurants and that's okay. Restaurants get stuff from the same suppliers so it saves them time. Moving on... Lemon Pepper Wings: These were a dry rub and the wings were crispy. These were very lemon-y and I liked that compared to them being too salty. The flavors were balanced very well. Garlic Parmesan Wings: These were delicious. The ingredients were caked on and that's always a good sign. It was creamy and the parmesan was a bit stronger than the garlic. It tasted like there was some extra hidden ingredients like a ranch or something that was in there, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I wish there was a bit more balance there, but it's all good. I liked them. Sweet Chili: These were not your traditional "sweet chili" wings. They had a Buffalo flavor aspect that I really enjoyed and I was literally licking my fingers after eating these! Jordan's Glaze: Another delicious flavor. The wings were excellent. There was a good hoisin flavor here that presented itself up front which gave a sweet, salty, umami flavor and was well-balanced. Philly Cheesesteak: On their cheesesteak is sliced sirloin, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapenos and cheese wiz. The bun was nice and soft. It was executed so well. The Maillard reaction on the little bits of steak added an extra touch that I really enjoyed. Though.. the sandwich as an entirety was a bit salty. Banana Pudding: This was really good, but comparing it to the best I've ever had (Magnolia Bakery), but this was EXCELLENT. The wafers were soft, but I was just hoping for a little more banana. Strawberry Banana Pudding: Everything mentioned above, but a little more exotic with the bold strawberry flavors. Really, really good. Value: The food is cheap, but doesn't necessarily taste like it. You won't blow your budget here and that's kinda the point. Without all the frills and overhead, Jordan's is allowed to bring you comfort foods and they can solely focus on the flavors. In conclusion, I loved it here. The food will stick to your ribs. Lol. But visit here in moderation. There's a reason they've been here for so long and I'm so happy I got the chance to check them out.

My food did not look remotely close to any advertised photos. The wings were cooked hard and not…read morevery saucy, the steak and cheese featured melted and shredded cheese and was cooked soft and flavorless. The fries were unnecessarily crispy and tasted as though they had been cooked in dirty grease. The pros: The lemonade was super sweet but good. There were three booths for families, in addition to seats facing 3 televisions for individuals. I personally would not return or recommend.

No photo tonight. I had to basically be in and out of New Haven tonight as I don't have much time…read morebetween train and bus to begin with, but should I come back in the future when I have more time I will take photos. But then what about coming here if I was in such a hurry? Well, I actually learned of this place's existence when I was going to do the Taichi Tea Elite Experience only to find that I had never been confirmed in that event. But after looking at earlier Taichi Tea reviews that day and finding a reviewer who reviewed both that place and this one, I knew this place needed my visit at some point. Also, I had to wait till tonight to come in big part because I had been on medical recovery from a stomach infection since last month, so I wanted to make sure I was feeling better first so I could give this place the best chance possible to excel. Tonight was actually my 3rd time ordering through the Yelp app, but the other 2 times had mixed results. One place confirmed my order while the other canceled twice, so this order was also a test to see if ordering through Yelp was reliable or not. Through God's good graces, this was a success! Service from the employees there was pretty friendly to boot too. So far so good! Now let's get into my order. I ordered three dogs (the Classic, the Mozzarella Cheddar, and then the Squid Ink half and half). All told, I paid $24.77, and that amount includes a $6.55 tip. So yes, this place is actually quite affordable in New Haven! And boy oh BOY are these three worth it! Before I continue, I will remark another dog with the potato crusting done on it. That looked pretty gas (is that a term kids use these days?). I started with the Squid Ink, and honestly, what they did with that thing is genius! The breading is black as squid ink should be, and the hot dog portion at the bottom is crated in such a way to resemble a squid's tentacles (sorry Squidward). It was fire! For the classic, I dipped that in honey mustard, one of my favorite condiments to have on any hot dog. It was pretty good too. And the mozzarella cheddar finished it off! All three were really good! If I had to pick my favorite, I'd say the Squid Ink dog is definitely the winner of the night. I just can't get over how awesome that creativity was. It was more than an "Oh K-Dog". It was an "Oh My God, These Dogs Rule" K-Dogs! I said what I said. Good night everybody!

Properly prepared dogs, but way off-balanced…read more Spot #5 of 6 in our hot dog trek, and we were in probably the swankiest place we've been thus far. This place is very affluent, so there's lots of shopping opportunities in this area. tucked in the parking lot of one of these places is a large duplex-sized place called Jakes, which has a ton of good press online. We go in, and the place is somewhat dim. The place is small but very dark. It kind of reminds me of a collectables shop in terms of the ambiance. Functional, but not very inviting. The menu has pretty much all hot dogs, and lots of them. The sheer amount of unique dogs is impressive. This being one of our later stops in our trek, we opted for a chicken teriyaki dog and a Seattle dog for comparisons. The food comes out quick, we take pics and dig in. First off, the hot dog to bun ratio was way off. the hot dogs were way too small for the bun, which was very evident with the Seattle dog. So you would get lots of bread with a little bit of dog on each bite. Second, the hot dogs were actually very salty. This usually has no real bearing on the dish, since I do like my salt. The problem being that the two hot dogs we got had high salt condiments on them (bacon and chicken teriyaki). the combo of salt on salt just lead to some very salty bites. The dogs themselves were prepared properly. I do enjoy the split and grill method of dog cooking. but there was a major lack of balance with the two we got. If we got hot dogs that had other non-salty ingredients, then these dogs would be good. but as prepared, they were a little off. It's an option if you want a hot dog, I would probably avoid the two that we got unless you like salty dogs.
