We took the subway out to Coney Island and stopped, as soon as we got there, at the Original Nathan's Famous location! They had great service - very busy but fast - and the food was great! I don't know if it was just that we were there, but the hot dogs tasted AMAZING and the milkshakes paired well with a bacon cheese dog for our lunch. I'd go back time and again - their menu was extensive (not just hot dogs!). My son agreed and we both felt satisfied to have eaten here, and checked off another great New York landmark location. read more

The hype is real - the chili cheese dog was absolutely worth it. Eating it right on the boardwalk is just an extra special bonus!

Absolutely iconic! My friends and I made the trek to Coney Island and knew we had to cross this off our bucket list. These hotdogs are iconic, and live up to the hype! read more

Came here on a Friday night. Lined up at the hot dog only line, but it still took a while to order and get the food, maybe 20-30 minutes despite only 2 people ahead of me. Got a regular hot dog with sautéed onions and sauerkraut. Added ketchup and mustard. With every bite, the hot dog gives a good snap. The taste of hot dog itself is okay. The onions could've been sautéed more as they were more raw than cooked. Sauerkraut added a good tanginess. Overall, it's an average tasting hot dog. I wouldn't make the trek all the way to Coney Island for the original location especially when it costs close to $6. read more

Good solid food, more of a cool attraction than anything. We got a hotdog and cheese fries, mainly for our son. He really enjoyed it and I got to sample it as well. Pretty good fast food, and now he has the experience of an original Nathan's hotdog on Coney Island! Prices are a touch high. Outside seating was cool to hang out and eat as well. A gentleman named Ponce who worked there took a moment out to say hello and was talking to us for a minute. Very nice guy. Friendly staff. read more

Being a tourist for the day and visiting Coney Island for the first time, stopping by Nathan's hot dogs was a must on my list. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the food. We arrived around 1pm and getting through the line took a good 20-25 minutes. I think what got me was the prices, $4.99 for a slim, alright tasting hot dog seemed a bit overpriced, but that's expected for a tourist spot. I also got a chili cheese dog, and that chili left a whole lot to be desired. Honestly, the best deal here was getting a large beer for $10! A small is $8, so going for the large was a no brainer for me. They had some Coney Island Brew Co. Beers on tap, which was cool since I don't get to try these often back in CA. Being able to be at the spot where Bay Area legend Joey Chestnut crushes the hot dog eating contest was cool to see in person. I'm glad I finally got the experience but definitely not a place I'd be rushing to go back to. read more

If you're in Coney Island, you gotta go here for the culture. Got their hot dogs with all the toppings, onion rings, and fries. It was cheap and satisfied our board walk cravings.

My friend said I had to try a Nathan's hot dog at the coney island location since it's the thing to do. Service was super slow (our cashier atleast sigh). I got the original Nathan's hot dog + bacon cheese fries. It was pretty pricey for those two items and a soda but whatever! When in Rome. I love how there is outdoor seating under umbrellas. It completes the vibes of being near the beach and the rides. The hotdog itself was pretty good surprisingly. Bacon cheddar fries were also good. Overall good but not worth the price in my opinion. I am glad I tried it though! read more

I'll start off by saying that I'm not a hotdog fan but coming to Coney Island to visit during lunch time, how could I say no? This really was a nice tasting hotdog. I had the sauteed onion hotdog with an Oreo shake. It really hit the spot. Parking was available on the street and the place ran very efficiently. It was a bit pricey but that didn't slow the long lines they had. Also I did enjoy the music playing. read more

My friends and I stopped by Nathan's after a trip to the New York Aquarium. We ordered some chili and bacon cheese hot dogs with some chicken tenders. The chili cheese hot dog was really salty, so I think I prefer just the regular hot dog. We waited about 20 minutes for the chicken tenders, which is longer than I would have expected to have to wait, but the chicken came out super fresh, although hot, but was really good. There are a few tables with seats as well as circular tables you can stand at. read more

Forgotten about with clam chowder flung at you might be a little bit easy to look past seeing they were accidents but adding cold food on top of that is just not right. So we ordered they weren't that busy then we waited about 45min or so for our order watching others come and go it became apparent that we were forgotten about so once we got their attention they asked why we haven't gotten our food my answer was why don't you tell me! Oh well we already gave this out yeah that might have happened but you didn't give it to me the one who payed for it ohhh ok I'll get it for you. During the whole first wait session one of the associates went over to get some clam chowder he then over poured it getting it on his hand so I'm assuming it was burning so he then flung the excess into the air it went right my way with some getting on my clothes, the counter, and even more on the floor. This didn't really bother me all that much considering I hate clams I get it was hot and what he did was instinct tells you to do. Then forgetting about our order then questioning it didn't bother me that much either as I wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere. The part that was over the top was our cold food like I don't expect much from a fast food concept ever as I hardly ever eat it and even fewer review it as I'd rather spend my money elsewhere, but you can't go to Coney Island and not try Nathan's or yes you can because this was bad like bad bad. So our food the onion rings we ordered were cold soggy and just pathetically bad clearly they were sitting for a very long time. The Hells Kitchen Burger wasn't spicy it was cold and mediocre and definitely the second worst thing we ordered as it just needed more sauce jalapeños and to be hot! The chili cheese dog was also cold and underwhelming the only good part of it was the hotdog had that snap to it that I always look for when getting one. Overall this was a terrible experience at a place that I've heard of for many years and finally got to try like I didn't come in with high expectations but the expectations I did have weren't this buy any means as this was beyond bad and I've spent a good amount of years working in the foods industry. read more

Never been to a boardwalk/amusement park/beach. The atmosphere is great and calming the service was amazing. Everybody minded the business. Needed to experience this it was after hours, so I did not see the rise in full effect. It was still a great time walking the boardwalk. I felt like I was in monopoly the game. read more

Delicious hotdogs and beer. Onion rings were just ok. There was a long line but the kiosks for express hotdog line wasn't too bad. Service was pretty normal, except one lady said a bug flew into her beer and asked if she could get it replaced (beer looked mostly full) and the manager said no we didn't give it to you like that in a really mean tone. They have no obligation to refill, but his attitude seemed a little rude. read more

This wasn't going to be missed if I had broken my fucking leg. I was gonna make it. My friend and I took the subway all the way down to the OG and it was so bloody cold. I was fortunately bundled up but nothing was going to stop my getting to the restaurant at Surf/Stillwell. We go in to see that people are eating inside and there are not many places to eat at. At this point, I knew the deal. No way could I or would I eat outside. I ordered a chili dog and a regular hot dog. I was a little disappointed when I only had mustard to put on it. No relish insight, no onions insight. Nonetheless, I enjoyed both of my hot dogs and was just happy to have finally made it. I have been watching the 4OJ HDEC for a long time and this was just thrilling to be at. read more

I'd never actually eaten at this, the famous Nathan's Famous by the boardwalk. Mostly because it's perpetually packed in the summer, and I've still managed to eat dozens of Nathan's hot dogs over the years. I never felt the need. But we were nearby, and it was not just the only eatery open on a cold, rainy non-summer Sunday in Coney Island, but it was empty. So we went for it...and were pleasantly shocked at the quality of the food. Not only were these hot dogs the best Nathan's hot dogs I've ever had (I got chili on one, which I inhaled in 5 seconds flat), but the chicken fingers were startlingly crisp and tasty. We've unfortunately locked ourselves into a Nathan's visit every time we take my daughter to the Aquarium now, which also promises to be far more often than I signed up for. It's famous and all, but worth a stop. read more

Nathans at Coney Island is iconic. They're the only location that still carries frog legs. We came from Long Island (suffolk county) to Brooklyn just for frog legs.

Nathan's Hot Dogs on Surf Avenue is my first choice when I'm hungry at Coney Island. This brand has a long history. At least when you visit here you can satisfy a craving for a hot dog. This is the main Coney Island location. There's a outpost on the Boardwalk. I'm like a Dog I can find my way home but don't ask me the address! I'm pretty sure this huge location is Surf Avenue. Looks like my photo! They really are delicious. I usually get my Nathan's from a Street Stand in Manhattan. I'm glad I don't have to travel all the way to Coney Island! But when you spend the day at the beach Nathan's can't be beat! I typically grab and go. I'm a dull hot dog eating girl. Just Mustard is all I need. Don't forget the fries! If you're visiting Coney Island and want to partake In the World's Most Famous N.Y. Hot Dog, then stop in here. It doesn't matter which building location, the Hot Dog tastes the same! read more

Did the 5 borough tour and Coney Island was the last stop. I was excited as Nathan's is the landmark here. This one is located on the corner. Line was short. Lucky me! Food: Cheese fries: not cooked good. Just ok. I never had their fries before. Foot long: just ok. Very thin and too much roll I had to tear half of it off to get to the hot dog. Fried clams: just ok. They have a clam bar located around the side. Overall the hotdogs wasn't what I expected. I think I rather stay home and eat a Nathan's out the pack from the grocery store. Hey at least I can say I came and experienced. read more

The food was pretty meh. Extremely greasy and the type of stuff that makes you feel pretty awful after eating. - The fries were bad. I got the bacon cheese fries. They were not crispy but also dry. The cheese was flavorless and the bacon was the only redeeming flavor. - The chicken strips were really bad. They were so greasy and too big to bite. They seemed to be batter fried and the crust fell off the chicken often. - The shrimp was flavorless. I could hardly taste the shrimp but the tartar sauce was good. - The reason I didn't get a hotdog was be because of how expensive it was. However, if I had to eat here again I definitely would order a hotdog because everything else sucks. The place itself is very cool looking and a fun vibe. The service is good and quick but nothing special. Just not very good and overall disappointing. A easy to access bathroom though! read more

As an outside, this place is worth the hype. If you're expecting a 5 star meal then this isn't the place. However, if you're expecting a good hotdog & some solid theme park food, this is the place to go. It was worth the trip. I could see if you ate here a ton or ventured away from the traditional hot dog that it could get old, but I enjoyed the hotdog & onion rings. It's a very cool location & pretty easy to get to. We enjoyed sitting outside & enjoyed our experience overall. Is it the best food? No. But did the hotdog live up to its name... yes! I wasn't disappointed & I'm not going to hold somewhere marketed as fast food & a certain niche to restaurant or fine dining quality. The staff was also super nice & the service was quick despite it being very busy. I personally think Nathan's is worth the trip. read more

I was pretty disappointed by my first Nathan's experience. I paid $20 for two plain hotdogs with grilled onions, fries, and a drink. The hotdogs were pretty gross and nothing to write home about - I ate half of one and couldn't touch the other. However, I must say that the fries were some of the best I've ever had - perfectly crisped, salted, and golden. I'd definitely come back for just those alone. Line was pretty long but moved quickly. read more

The Coney Island staple! You can't come to Coney Island and now have some Nathan's! I've been here many many times over the years, but I visited for the first time post-COVID-19. It was still crowded, but not nearly as crowded as it normally would be in the summer, if the park was open. Nonetheless, I went with a Philly Cheesesteak for the first time, and surprisingly, I was very pleased. I know everyone comes for the hot dogs, but I typically go for the burger--I figured I would switch it up. The staff here moves at a decent pace, I bare with them as they usually jam packed with customers. read more

What. A. Disappointment! I was actually excited to visit and try kne of these famous hot dogs, but left wishing I hadn't bothered. To start, service is painfully slow, by lacklustre, disillusioned employees who clearly have no pride or motivation in what they do. Then there's the dogs. Bland, flavourless and thin. No amount of ketchup or mustard can rescue their taste. And for the orice charged, they should serve better than cheap, plain buns. I also ordered a Coors Light. A beer that's hard to screw up yet somehow thus establishment managed to make it taste extra flat. There's so many places nearby to grab a bite and drink, avoid the hype of Nathan's. read more

My friend and I came for a Saturday afternoon beach day at Coney Island. I've only ever had Nathan's in Manhattan from their little carts so it was pretty impressive to see the outdoor restaurant with all of the available choices. The restaurant already has outdoor seating which they had closed off certain tables to allow for easier social distancing for their customers. There was a nice plastic barrier between the cashiers and patrons. I also liked how all of the doors of the establishment were open so it was basically like being outdoors and really let the area to air out. My friend and I got the chili cheese dog, a corn dog and the onion rings. The chili cheese dog was delicious - lots of flavor and worked well with the sauerkraut and onions even though the sauerkraut itself didn't really add much unfortunately. The corn dog was surprisingly good. Absolutely delicious batter - a perfect balance of salty and sweet. Just sad to see how small it was for the price. Finally, the onion ring was disappointing. It was fried well but did not have enough onions so it did not give enough flavor. All in all, a quick meal to give a nice accent to a fun little beach day. read more

Nathan's used to be amazing. Now it's just sort of an experience. Customer service is much that you would expect at a DMV. The price of Nathan's has gone from fairly priced boardwalk food to nearly the cost of fine dining. So needless to say the cost is above what it should be. I think I give three stars due to my memory of good times in the past not good food. The food is ok not amazing. The hot dogs are not even great anymore. My clams and oysters were fine but the hot dog and fries were bland and undercooked. Come here for a life memory or a life experience but not for good food or good prices. Lines are always enormous. One friend took over half an hour in line to get food. read more

Had to try a famous Nathan's dog at the Coney Island location! Service was fast and friendly they definitely had a large menu with a variety of choices that looked and sounded great but we had to stick with getting a couple of the infamous hot dogs.

It took nine years for this Bay Area California girl to make it to Coney Island after being an NYC resident for more than half that time, meeting my now-husband, and being in a global pandemic. I know for the locals, it's not a big deal and possibly not even a desirable location, but growing up and living across the country in California, it is a landmark spot you must experience at least once. Even more so, visiting the original Nathan's Famous. Honestly, this original location puts all others to shame from the menu to the establishment itself. If you enjoy Nathan's and haven't made it here yet, you've got to check this spot out! My husband and I came by on a Thursday late afternoon/early evening while the amusement park part of Coney Island was not operating (the boardwalk was open for people to walk on though). Anticipating Nathan's might look similar to the sparsity on the outside on the boardwalk and street, my husband and I were shocked to see the inside packed with (social-distanced) lines snaking around the inside and leading up to the registers. The space inside is large and at the time they had most (if not all) registers open with several people working behind the counter to prepare and pack food. Although the lines looked long, staff were able to manage the rush efficiently. Additionally, I was excited to see a mix of both locals and tourists lining up to enjoy their Nathan's. The menu boasts several more options than what is offered in their typical kiosk or freestanding locations including burgers and sandwiches, chickens, seafood (including clams and oysters), and various beers. As mentioned, we came in on a Thursday and we were able to capitalize on their current special of "Throwback Thursday's" where one can get a 5¢ hotdog with the purchase of ANY regular priced item during the hours of 5 PM - Close. We got a total of three 5¢ hot dogs with a purchase of a regular fries, bacon cheese fries, and a large drink to share. Super great deal and a hot dog is truly a must buy for a first timer at this original, iconic Nathan's. We were pleased all-around with our meal and the ambiance of the establishment itself. As things start to open up again and the weather starts to get better, take that trip to Coney Island and enjoy some Nathan's Famous (heck...come on Thursday evening while they're running g the promo!). It's the home of the International Hot Dog Eating Contest and that in itself deserves a visit. read more
