Eyuckkkk!!! Nathan's is the brand of hotdog we buy to cook at home...so I figured it must be better from the source...not so much. The hot dogs were almost dried out with a slight armpit aroma to them...they didn't put any of the toppings we paid extra for and the place was so packed it wasn't even worth bringing it back to mention it. The chili and cheese were in warmers that looked like they had been sitting here getting gelatinous for a little bit too long. The fries were just barely cooked. My stomach sounds like work boots in a dryer not even 5 minutes after eating it. I'm sure any of the other places at this rest stop would've been a better choice...so make a better choice than I did read more

I stopped by Nathan's famous hot dogs inside of the Maryland House on my travels down 95. I picked up a two hot dog combo with fries and a drink. The fries looked promising but definitely missed the mark on being cooked. The fries tasted like they were not seasoned, sitting in a cold pan and definitely not cooked to their cooking time. The hot dogs were your typical hot dogs. I got mine plane but the toppings that you could add like cheese and chilli looked like they were sitting around way too long. Would I stop for a plain hot dog. Yes. Would I get the fries again. questionable I would have to see them getting made. read more

Our family loves Nathan's Franks. In fact I was born in the shadow of Nathan's in Coney Island. We have watch the company transition over a lifetime to a national chain. Of course that means higher prices and shrinking product. It's sad to see what a jumbo frank has become but we never expected what we saw last night at a rest stop in Aberdeen, MD. They are charging $12.95 for a hot dog. It's one thing to expect to pay a premium because you are in the middle of a 6 lane highway but see if you can make a sentence with the first letters of each word. A Y O O Y F M? read more

The only good thing was the cashier. Friendly and efficient. Chicken sandwich was horrible. Bread was old , one notch away from stale , and chicken was chewy and cold. Just not good at all and I'm pretty easy to please read more

On 4/13/25 around 6 pm, I asked for sauerkraut for my hot dog and the cashier explained to me that while they had sauerkraut, she would not give me any. She had some confusing rationale, about not having a charge mechanism on her register. Bottom line, she refused to accomodate my request and I was unable to eat my Nathan's as I wished. What the hell, Nathan's???? read more

I stopped here briefly on a trip and I was hungry so I indulged in a couple of Nathan's hot dogs and their crinkle cut fries. I had nothing to complain about it. The hot dogs had a nice snap to them when you took a bite. The fries were great. I did not have any issues with staff and I was in and out fairly quickly. read more

Disgusting. $13 for a combo. The food was absolutely disgusting. How can you screw up a hot dog and fries? They found a way. The fries were so greasy they were mushy. Hot dog so salty couldn't eat it. So essentially paid for a very expensive Coke read more

We stopped here because we were hungry and I promised hubs Nathans when we visit my parents in NYC. Unfortunately, I promised the original Nathan's in Coney Island and its not fun being on the boardwalk in the winter. So we decided to give this one a try. There are several dining options at this restaurant stop but I still had my heart set on Nathan's. I used to order their cheeseburger when I lived in NY and it was always delicious. Their fries with cheese sauce is amaze balls as well. The line was long and there were about 8 people in front of me. The people ordering and the cashier was quick but it seemed like the people cooking were slow. Actually, I think I only saw one person cooking in the back. It was finally my turn so I ordered 2 cheeseburgers and a large fries with cheese sauce. It took forever! Customers that ordered after me were receiving their food before me but I think I was the only one who ordered burgers. I finally get my order and go back to the car. OMG it was sooooo good! I scarfed down that burger like I did not eat all week lol. Honestly, it was really tasty and pretty decent quality of meat. The fries were just as good and so was the cheese sauce. I did not realize Nathan's has locations all over the place but maybe because I do not go shopping often and I think they are located in malls usually. If you stop here, get the burger. It is worth the wait! Also, the staff were professional and nice. I would have been pulling out my hair if I were them! read more

$11.12 for 2 hot dogs... Nathan's Famous started selling hot dogs in 1916 for a Nickel! If you adjust for inflation that means in 2024 a hot dog should cost $1.42. Why the mark-up Nathan? You greedy swine merchant. Ok here's the review. Service was nice, staff is very friendly. The service/travel plaza is clean and bright. I was happy to stop on my roadtrip. I know everything costs more $ today but paying over ten bucks for two hot dogs seems nuts. The hot dogs did taste great, they give you plenty of condiments. I feel like a grumpy old man yelping about the price of hot dogs these days. Ok, gotta go yell at the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn... read more

Nathan's Famous - Hotdog box - Hot Dogs Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

I came to this rest stop to eat lunch. Decided on Nathan's for hot dogs and chicken. Hot dog was dry, like it was left on the warmer for way too long. The corn dog was ok. The fried chicken was like the whole bottle was poured in the batter. I ordered a 12 piece chicken, and the man putting orders together looked at me then shook his head. Now I know why. I had to peel the skin off all the chicken just to eat it. There was enough salt in one piece to give someone a heart attack. They also ran out of hot sauce somehow, but they barely look at me to tell me. The fries were big crinkle cut style. Not too bad, it was soft though. The onion rings were better, the onion nice taste and breading crunchy. I would not recommend anyone to eat here. I wasted $50 on food we could barely eat. read more

I feel like this business is a prime example of appropriately managing your expectations when anticipating a product. Yes, it's an expensive rest stop hot dog and the quality of the lemonade probably isn't the best. But is it filling? Is it easy? Is it tasty enough? I'd vote yes for all three. The cheese dog had a good crunch, the bread wasn't stale, and I enjoyed the sugar boost from the lemonade. I even had a good laugh with the cashier. I was exhausted and anxious en route to my home state in prep for a big life change, so when she asked if I wanted ice in my lemonade, I spelled out my last name as the response. So bad. The hot dog didn't make me sick to my stomach either, which was a nice plus. I'd definitely consider stopping at this stall next time I'm in Maryland House. read more

Although it ain't Surf Avenue in Coney Island, it will do just fine for a rest stop. Service was excellent for a Saturday night on Thanksgiving weekend with a moderate line and the only place open. The staff were prompt, yet friendly at the same time. read more

Now that Nathan's serves breakfast, I thought I would give it a try since I've never been here before. I had a short wait in line before getting up to the counter to place my order. Unfortunately, Nathan's breakfast menu is very, very limited only three items egg and cheese sandwich on either or a bagel or a muffin, sausage, egg and cheese or bacon, egg and cheese with a small hash brown and a juice. I ordered OJ, and got orangeade instead. But, the nice thing was everything was hot because it's made to order. If they had more of a selection, I would have given them 4 stars. read more

Do NOT eat here. Worst fried chicken sandwich and onion rings I've ever had, and I'm not young. Somehow they made the batter on the chicken and rings into a hard rubber texture. So hard my jaw muscles were sore afterwards. The chicken breast was thin. The onion was nearly undetectable in the rings. I didn't even finish them, which is a first for me (and I was hungry). read more

My chicken sandwich came with tons of sand in lettuce. We spent money to bye expensive garbage food from here. Very disappointed.

I stopped here to eat but I was shocked.the guy who served me tried to cheat me with one order and the food was bad and expensive for cold chicken and burned and nasty fries read more

Disgusting. Cashier took my money and made food with the same gloves on. Food was old and the coke machine was so dirty the water button got stuck spilling water cause it was so sticky and never cleaned. Then they act like I'm tryin to cheat them. read more

This is for Nathan's Famous on Glenway Ave., in Cincinnati Ohio 12/19/21. The first time we ordered from here it was smash. WTF HAPPENED TODAY!!!! My bacon ranch fries came with no ranch and the hot dogs came on hoagie buns!!! For the outrageous prices you would expect at least a frikkin packet of ranch, and who TF wants all that bread for one little piggie????!!!! read more

Yeah, the service here isn't the best, and the whole rest stop area is a little on the scuzzy side. But.. If you stick to what Nathan's does superbly- hot dogs and fries, you can't go wrong. Nathan's hot dogs are the best! And my sweetest dreams include buckets of those amazing fries! Dee-lish!!! read more

10 minutes to order (no line but employees were busy talking about getting drunk and eating while we and the others in line waited. Eventually it was just us waiting because everyone behind us gave up. Literally got my order in a minute and a half after paying. WTF read more

I was desperate on 95 for some dinner, and grabbed a hot dog here. Line moved so slowly that I almost left, but the other options looked just as bad! The people behind the counter were mostly polite, but they acted like they had the most stressful and complicated job in the entire world. Things clearly weren't going smoothly behind the counter. Hot dog was okay- it had a hard exterior which was a little odd, I felt a little nauseous afterward, and they only gave me one ketchup packet for the whole hot dog (some of us like a bit more ketchup than that!). But it was good enough, not too expensive, and cured my craving. Two stars- I might come back here for another try if I was desperate for food on 95 and weirdly craving a hot dog. read more

Why the heck is a hot dog 4 bucks at a rest stop? Why am I eating a Nathan's at a rest stop? Why did I make these life choices? Eh, it was OK. 2 dogs fries and a coke was $12 though. read more

Awww hell nah! I should have known better when I saw this was the only vendor with no line on a busy Saturday, but I can't resist the siren call of a good hot dog. I must have been magically teleported to Wrigley Field cause I paid $11 for a hot dog, fries and a lemon aid. NEVER AGAIN! DONT DO IT! NOT WORTH IT! The hod dog was lackluster, the fries were soggy and the lemonade was just reconsistutued powder mix. read more

Nathan's Famous - Does this look like $11 worth of food? - Hot Dogs Near Me - Aberdeen, Maryland

The wait is too long and it was not worth it. I realize how long they were taken so I just stepped up to the register and ordered fries because that was what I was really excited for however I was very disappointed. The crinkle cut fries were a little undercooked and did not have any crispy texture at all. Save your money and move onto a different vendor! read more

Maybe worst counter girl ever. Finished a text before taking my order, then sent 3 more before telling cooks. Overpriced and under portioned. Dogs barely had kraut on them. Lesson learned read more

On November 11, 2021 in the mid-afternoon, my husband and I made a stop at the Maryland House on I-95 for a quick lunch. First, there was no one at the front to take orders or greet you. As a matter of fact, there were no customers either, just us at the time. After waiting around a couple of minutes, two people emerged from the back and came forward. The young lady unlocked the cash register while the young man put on plastic gloves. She left immediately and he approached us for our order, which he then rang up on the register. My husband then politely asked him to remove the gloves as they were no longer sanitary after touching the register. The waiter vehemently denied that he had touched it and that the girl had put the order through. THAT WAS A PLAIN LIE! We never spoke to her. He got very upset and more words were exchanged. He then refused to fill the order, removing his gloves and folding his arms across his chest and leaning against the wall. At this point we asked for the manager and he refused to get him/her and just ignored us. We left at that point. He was so rude and had the attitude that we were there to serve him! I can understand why there was no one buying from Nathan's. The staff was totally uninterested in good customer service and just disrespectful to its senior customers. Will never stop at any Nathan's franchise in the future. read more

Firstly let me tell l was driving almost 7 hours and stopped here for rest - food- restroom . Wawww The worse service l ever had in my life !

This guys work for free or not ! Close the restaurant fools they deserve 0 stars after this l learned that 1 Star is so bad even l gave some quality restaurants read more

Not a good experience. We greeted with the site of two young men in their underwear. apparently their belts don't work. Ordered the cheesy fries within 5 minutes.however the sauce does have somewhat of a tin taste to it .I would not recommend this Nathan's check # 2571 . Aug 19, 2020 read more

The entire experience was not a favorable one. I understand it was a busy Saturday night and things take time, but it appeared that it was understaffed. Only 3 people working, one taking ordered and two filling the orders. When we entered the line, it took 10 minutes to get to order, and another 10 minutes to receive the order. The food quality was very poor. I ordered a Crispy Chicken Combo. The bun of the sandwich was very dry or stale. The chicken was good though, nice and flavorful. The French fries were a not good. I know potatoes are not the most flavorful foods in the world, but these fries were soggy, lukewarm, and flavorless. This was my first time at a Nathan's. I chose Nathan's because I wanted something different than the major national fast food chains offered at this place. After this experience, it is very unlikely I will return. read more

The worst Food I've ever had in my life I've got a good starting for another 20 miles.

Great customer service! And the young lady that helped me had to be New but she very helpful and I believe will be a great team player.

The food is standard Nathan's. There is a crazy long wait for the food. Lost a lot of time waiting for a hotdog. Nobody knows why.

Being from New York, this place takes me back to my childhood. I love the hot dog and crinkle cut fries. Mmmm :)

First, avoid Maryland House-crowded, poor service, very expensive. The only time Maryland house isnt overcrowded, is when most of the food stands are closed. At Nathans, my wife ordered 6 hot dog (tiny) "nuggets", fries and a drink-$13 ! You're better off driving off an exit, find a stand-alone fast food place. read more

Amazing food and great service the waiter was very funny and kind and the food was great but the decorations were bland and the table was cracked read more

Thursday, Nov 3. Around 3 pm. Walked up to get a few dogs and soda. They had 30+ dogs on the grill and a kid on a ladder spraying windex or whatever cleaning substance directly over the dogs on the overhead vent. Whatever they were spraying was setting down on ALL the dogs. Plus whatever he was wiping with that dirty rag. Then the kid pulled the grill away to get to the other side and continued to keep spraying. Again, settling on the hot dogs At that point we asked for the manager. A kid around 17 came up, said he was the supervisor and he said spraying was done away from the hot dogs, turned and walked away. We just looked at each other, shook our heads, cancelled our order and went to Wendy's Horrifying. read more

The employees are very disrespectful. They should be ashamed of themselves after discriminating against me and my friend, by referring him as "Osama" on his receipt. No apology was given to him. Be aware of this place that is full of ignorance. Their service was horrible, but the food was ok- but the behavior didn't justify the food. Wish I can give zero stars. read more
