Let me just get one thing clear. The general manager here is one of the rudest ladies I have ever met. While waiting for my food, all I hear is her screaming. The workers were very nice and helpful but looked very stressed around her. read more

Terrible service. We ordered 4 hot dogs and 2 fries. Waited 45 minutes. Never got our food. Finally spoke to the manager who was extremely rude. Told my husband that because he wanted to know when we would be getting our order he said it will take even longer. Unacceptable. We got our money back and left. We will never go back there again. read more

Part of my childhood died today upon eating at Nathan's of Oceanside. As I kid I was a big fan of Nathan's charbroiled burgers and fries. As time went on, fewer Nathan's made their burgers this way. I'd go to Hicksville. Then Westbury. Finally Oceanside. Today I decided to get a Nathan's fix prior to the Mets home opener. I hadn't been in a few years. Oh the horrors. First I was ignored for about 5 minutes even though no one was on line. Then I was told the plain burger I ordered cost 8.49. I later learned by reading the menu that's because all Nathan's burgers are now two patties and that you can ask for a single for 7.49. The cup of water I asked for was initially a 2.19 charge for a bottle of water but I declined and chose not to have any water. Anyway when the burger arrived, it was griddled not charbroiled. And it tasted awful. I removed a patty and ate just one as I was hungry. The fries were ok though they did seem a bit different than I remember. Unless charbroiled returns this will be my last Nathan's visit after being a fan for 35 years. read more

This is a very clean and well run Nathans. This one has been in Oceanside for a LONG time. The staff are friendly and welcoming. There were TVs with sports and kid shows for the dine in diners. The hot dogs are, of course, excellent. The fries were cooked perfectly not too over done which I noticed at some of the other Nathans we have been to. Overall I will definitely return for my once in a while hot dog fix not only because they do a great job, but I love supporting businesses who have been in the area a long time. read more

I'll start this off by saying I am not big on fast-food joints but I drove by this location after doing some shopping in Long Island. It was the day after thanksgiving and I was done with turkey, chicken, and ham and I just wanted something different for lunch. I didn't know what to expect when we entered the parking lot because it seemed to be connected to the parking lot of another restaurant. I will preface by saving being born and raised in Brooklyn I've only had Nathan's Hotdogs at the Coney Island location so I was really excited to try the hot dogs here. At this location you order your food at the larger cashier and then you are given a number, this number will be your marker for the "waiter" to bring you your food. I guess the concept could be cool but it leaves you in a weird space of do you leave a tip or not because someone's job is to bring your food out. My significant other and I picked a booth seat but that was shortly taken away by a family while we got up to get our beverages so we relocated. There is a condiment bar which offers onions, peppers, pickles and of course ketchup and mustard to top your hot dogs. This I did find cool because you can dress your hot dog any way you want and avoid receiving too much of an item. The customer service was here not there, I didn't expect much from a fast food joint anyway. When we received our food I will admit I got a bit excited then I took my first bite and regretted my decision. The hot dog seemed overcooked. Sigh. It wasn't juicy and plump like I remember from Coney Island. I doubt the location has anything to do with the way the hot dog is cooked (I even tried my significant others hot dog and it was the same) but I guess I won't return. I will leave on a good note and say that the cheese fries were yummy. read more

I like hot dogs and cheese fries. I seen this spot leaving the beach and went for a go. Taste just like Coney island location. The saurkeraut can use more vinegar. Thursdays it's 5 cent hot dogs with a purchase of an item. read more

Failed system if you dine in. They give you a number to place on table and someone should bring your order. SHOULD. after waiting a very patient 20 minutes while watching to go orders being packed and sent on there way, I went up to the counter. Was told that they were waiting on the fries to be ready. Ecotourism go order that was placed after mine included fries for the most part. Unorganized system. Food is typical nothing special. Either get your order to go or do t bother going read more

Its Nathans! Its sad to see the new location remove the entire Nathans, Coney Island vibe it once had. Now its just a fast food spot...no arcade! That being said, still the best hot dogs and fries around. Hot Dog nuggets, every time, gotta get them. Good selection of Chicken sandwiches or fish platters by Arthur Treachers. read more

I visited this location on at least four occasions.las over the past 3 weeks. The food tastes great and my orders have all been accurate. I have ordered menus items such as their hot dogs with cheese and chili, steak sandwiches, chicken fingers, and fries.The staff is very helpful and has always thanked me for my business. Something I rarely see nowadays. Great job Nathan's...! read more

This old hotdog standby isn't famous for no reason. I was in the mood for a hotdog the other day, so decided to stop by on my way to work. Ordered a plain hotdogs, and asked for sauerkraut, onions and ketchup to be added on top. Skipped the fries this time (which are always tasty and delicious and unique in flavor to Nathan's). The hot dog was cooked to perfection: very juicy with a slightly crisp bite. Delicious! Was tempted to go in and order a second, but decided to leave it for another trip. read more

Okay but what's better than Nathan's hot dogs?? Two hot dogs with mustard + sauerkraut please! read more

The fries were good but the customer service was horrible. You would think we came to the servers house and asked for free fries. We waited for several minutes and then had to ask the woman in the adjoining business to get her. The server wasn't friendly, or helpful. I asked for a fork and she told me to go next door. Really?!?! She is lucky I had not had Nathan's in forever or I wouldn't have bothered. read more

I really love Nathan's for just being such a classic brand but lately they have kicked it up a notch! The new burgers and the NEW YORK cheesesteak just blow me away! I'm so happy that it's such a reliable place to go get a good overall meal! read more

I was in on Sunday 1-16 at 6:28 PM. There was one other person on line in front of me. He ordered 6 Dog, 6 Burgers, onw foot long and two large fries. I put my order in next (2 Fries and one Dog). The counter person prepared the fries and put them on the back counter, I was waiting for 15 minutes before I asked for my one dog and fries. The counter person (Alec) told me I had to wait because the other customer was here first. The fries were cold and useless, The manager came out and was told why I was upset but did nothing. read more

This is the new location for Narhan's, they used to be about a 1/4 mile south of here. The original location, I've heard was the second oldest after the original in Coney Island. It's still Nathan's hot dogs, and they're still delicious, but this location has none of the old timey, comfortable and historic ambiance of the old location. And there's no more game room for the kiddies to play in anymore. It's so much more expensive than it was just last year at the old location. I guess time moves on and everything changes, but sometimes one has to wonder if it's really for the best. read more

The best dogs anywhere. Nothin' fancy. Don't hold your pinky up while eating here. Don't go if you want a salad. Dogs and fries and drink. Burgers and other stuff not as good. read more

I love these hot dogs. At least 5 lbs of my adult, overweight body is formed by the delicious all-beef fats and nitrates of Nathans. This establishment is deeply embedded in my upbringing (my father worked here as a teenager as did my uncles on both sides of the family). I remember motorcycle night, classic car night and going to the arcade. However, nostalgia is tough to swallow when you enter adult-hood in the 21st century. If you like hot dogs, the food is great. Easily, my favorite hot dog in the world is served at Nathans. While certain Nathans are better than others (I found the Oceanside location to be my favorite, followed by Westbury and Coney Island), I have always been impressed with their consistent quality across the their expansion. I sometimes fret about grabbing food at rest stops on the highway, but I know that the Nathans hot dog will have a familiar snap and spice. The key is the casing and you cannot get that with the skinless franks you see in the store. Also, the fries are out of this world. Even the non hot-dog items, such as the cheeseburger, are hefty and taste solid. However, the location in Oceanside has changed and the prices are now astronomical. Franks push $4 without coupons (which at one point had a ubiquitous presence on the Internet) and I learned the combo meals no longer include the cost of a beverage (what??). Additionally, the new location includes table service, which just seems unnecessary and inefficient. The memories of the Nathans of old are still strong, but with the move it is most certainly relegated to memories. Still, one can find a discrete moment of joy in ordering two hot dogs. One with sauerkraut and golden brown mustard. The other, marinated onions and mustard. Sit back. Close your eyes. Recall 1995, 1985, 1975 or 1965 and you will find a smile approach your face and the $8 you spent will feel like the cost of a ticket back to a time machine that comes with a free meal. read more

I can't imagine I would have had to write a review like this.... Let me say I was a faithful follower of Nathans at the old location since the 1980s. I loved going there. brought my daughters there. And even continued to go there after my stepdaughter got violently ill from greasy corn-dogs that were sitting in a display for way too long. But after some delay I finally went to the new location. What a horrible experience. 1. At the old place, if you came in with a coupon (like a 2 for 1 hot dog) you could order the combo and they'd make the adjustment so you got a free dog. Now all you get is "sorry you have to buy every item separately" with an attitude. So the "free" hot dog coupon (should save me $3.75) only saves you about $1 after they mark everything else up 2. Ordered my hot dogs well done. Asked again after getting my receipt if they'd be well done and was reassured. They weren't 3. Buns were borderline stale. First one fell apart on my first bite. Not good. 4. Condiments are a joke. Clumpy ends of sauerkraut and almost no sauteed onions in a sea of liquid. The ketchup and mustard came out in large clumps. It was also Helman's mustard and not Nathan's branded. WTF? 5. New facility....same old lame choice of soft drinks. Everyone has the new infinite flavor machines. Get with the times. 6. Lost all of its ambiance. Sadly what was once one of my favorite lunches has been lost. After 23 years of going to the Oceanside location, and being an Oceanside resident, I'm afraid to report you've lost a customer. read more

Nothing fancy here. Nothing healthy either, but that is why you came here. This is a new location for Nathan's and I think it will be a good fit. The building is smaller than the over-sized locale that was down the road, but there is still plenty of parking out back. Everything was delicious as it has always been. Fries are still the best. read more

Dreams die hard. Stopped at the new location last night. Limited parking, small space, higher prices. So sad.. read more

Tried the new location on Friday night before the blizzard. Although the place was new, nothing spectacular to talk about. The girl Joseline who was taking our order may have been new. Wrong amount of soda cups, had to delete an item for us and by mistake deleted the whole order. When we got all the food, we decided the best thing would be to check the order and glad we did, the lobster roll was not there. It turns out, she never entered it on the order. She was not really friendly and didn't smile. If we put this place into the category of any fast food joint, then I guess this is acceptable by customers and management so who am I to complain. If I want better service, go to a better place. After all, this is Long Island! read more

Nathan's reopened and it is newer and looks better then ever. A much smaller location than the previous location that looked run down and was definitely showing its age. The new location is full of tv's on the wall, condiment statations, bright lighting, fun nostalgic images on the walls and food that is brought to the tables after you order promptly. Not too bad for a new take on the Nathan's franchise that everyone grew up with in Oceanside. Gone is the game room that the kids used to love but lets face it that too was showing its age and the kids still had a blast eating there without the gameroom to distract them. The free wifi and various seating choices was enough to keep the family amused as we chatted and ate our food there. The biggest downside is the prices. One thing that didn't change, in fact got worse, is the prices. You won't get a good deal or bargain eating here that's for sure. For some reason a hot dog place still fancies itself as high price eating when its just a fast food place and not much more. But the food is still the great tasting hot dogs, fries, burgers, corn dogs etc that you remember and has that same classic Nathan's taste you expect from the place. If you don't mind paying a bit more for the same or less then you will love coming here again and again. Things change and this place is an example of that. Its the same but different. You can't go back again but at least you can still go to Nathan's locally and enjoy the same food and offerings that you have come to expect from the franchise. Sure I miss the old place and what it was like but this replacement is a welcome addition that I will be visiting often with the family. Not as often as I would like though as its a bit expensive but that's really the only downside. That and the weird fact that they show only one particular cable news station (Fox News) on all the TV's whether you like that station or not its the only game in town when you eat there. Glad to have you back Nathan's. Different yet the same at the same time. Any fan of the old place and if you are looking for a fun place to take the kids, you won't go wrong here. Its simple and fun food that people of all ages will find something to enjoy here. Great atmosphere and ample parking in the back lot behind the place. read more

The old location was way too big. I like the new location, still good. I love the condiments bar and the design inside. They bring the food to you after you order it, a cute little new thing. Hotdogs were awesome, onion rings were a tad small but its okay. Two hotdogs and onion rings were only 10$. Recommend!!! read more

I went to Nathans for lunch today. I found out after I arrived that their soda machine was out. There was nothing to drink except over priced bottled water and some sugary lemonade. Normally sodas offered have free refills but no such offer was made on the bottled water.No substitute was offered and the manager acted like nothing has happened.It is legally required for a restaurant to offer water for free for diners. I walked out because I will not be taken advantage of by this situation. I will probably be returning but this incident has left a bad taste in my mouth that cannot be fixed by a hot dog. read more

Love the food... The service.. not so much... waaaaay to slow to receive your order whether to stay or to go...

The food was good; standard Nathan's quality. Absolutely the BEST hot dogs! We did have a weird experience that was kind of annoying. When you order at the counter, they give you a sign with a number. When your food is ready, one of the staff brings a tray to your table. The guy who brought our trays asked us for a tip and would not go away. It was weird. I did not expect this. I didn't have any singles, so I gave him a $10 and told him to take $2 and bring me back my change. So be aware the person who brings the tray may ask for a tip at that time. I never had that happen before. Tip jars have become standard at takeout food places all over the place. So now this? (Although maybe this stuff is standard in NYC and on Long Island and not the rest of the country.) Anyway, be prepared. read more

This is the worst Nathan's I have ever been to. Orders messed up and take forever. The manager is clueless.

OK It's Nathan's so you have certain expectations, a good dog, a quick and dirty place. Not here clean, big, nice, very clean and the counter girls were friendly. Best Nathan's I have been too! read more

Nathan's hot dogs are always good but they are not worth the wait or horrible service you get at this place. Whether there is one or 21 people there the service is awful. 2 people cooking and 5 walking around doing nothing. They serve people in the order they want and don't communicate with the customers. I was trying to be patient when I saw them serve people that came after me expecting that someone would apologize for the wait or tell me why I was still waiting. When I wouldn't wAit any more and asked for my money back they just said ok. Then I had to wait for someone else to refund my money. Not once did anybody apologize for the wait the service or my dissatisfaction. It's not cheap to eat there and I'll be saving my money from now on read more

could not be any slower ! whether you eat in or take out do not come here if you are not prepared to wait !!!! this is certainly not fast food !!!!! hire more workers already !!!! read more

I love this location the cashier Johnathan is amazing and always friendly he helped me out and went over the menu with me in great detail and it was very helpful read more

This Nathan's has 3 speeds of service. Slow slower and crazy slow. The abundance of choices and "meal deals" mean tough decisions which makes the wait in line long. 1 hot dog $3.89 2nd hot dog .05 on Thursday. Or 2 for $4. Must be a joke, no? I waited for my number to be called like they do at Wht Castle. I felt sorry for the poor guy bringing food to the people who were eating there. Unnecessary and awkward. Number 80 was called and I was off in a flash 2 dogs med fries at home. The hot dogs were good, rolls were ok. The fries were great and made everything well again. Exactly what I expected and craved. read more

I like this new location very much I did leave a star off obviously for the deduction of the arcade room!I guess because the joint is smaller than the previous there was no room for it also parking is inconvenient unless you are lucky enough to get a spot on the street, I also miss the car shows every Wednesday but I think they did away with that a while ago, I didn't find the prices are much higher than the previous location like other reviewers said maybe I wasn't paying attention ,that being said the inside and the outside still scream Nathan's!and I like the hightop tables,now for the food when you have a craving for a hotdog this is the place to go to on Long Island ,so damn good w that lil crunch, I like the kids meals for my children and that old-fashioned lemonade always hits the spot! Tasty and sweet but not too tart , I really like the flat screens that they installed they are just a little too high ,Now my favorite NEW feature is the tableservice although you still have to order it,it is extremely convenient when they drop off ure food order with your given number,espec when you have kids!On top of that everybody is super friendly!Just wish the employees would stop eating at the tables with the customers watching Tv,maybe I'm alone in this but it just looks a little unprofessional,I think they should have their own room behind closed doors, regardless i look forward to going back very soon! read more

I do miss the old Nathan's from down the road, but I was very pleased when we stopped by. A nice parking area behind the store, which is helpful since it's right on a busy main road.

Definitely will stop by again when we are having a Nathan's craving. read more
