Squishy but good

by kittythecat

Hot dogs are tasty, but there's no room to stand. You have to scarf down your doggies quickly and run...such is the life of the typical New Yorker I guess.

Such a shame

by janejlee78

Hot dogs are decent but the lack of service really irritates me. I live across the street and have been here countless number of times and I have to say, they get my order wrong more times than not. How difficult is it to get a hot dog order correct? The worst part is if you ask a simple question, to verify they got your order correct, they respond as if you insulted their mother. The success of this chain has unfortunately gotten to their heads, such a shame.

• Pros: decent dogs
• Cons: sloppy, arrogant and disgusting fruit drinks

Excellent

by mr_meursault

This place serves up great hot dogs and sausages. The cheese fries and drinks are good too. The prices aren't cheap but won't break your bank either. My personal favorites are the chili-cheese dogs, and the spicy beef sausage. A regular hot dog with sauerkraut and onion goes a long way too. In any case, if you are in the area and in the mood for a two-thousand calorie snack, stop on in. Your arteries may not love you for it, but your stomach will.

Best Hot Dog

by ney

Absolutely the best hot dog in the city, perhaps the country. No comparison to the cheap "Papaya" knockoffs. These other joints may sell cheaper dogs, but the orininal Papaya King @ 86 Str. & 3 ed. Ave. is still the best. Also Papaya King's drinks & fresh fruit shakes & juices are way superior to to

the others.
