First to arrive on Saturday salivating for Beignets. Tried both Chocolate and Plain - can't tell you I could not finish one and they each came with 3 individuals. It made me hate NYC for not having Good Beignets prefected as of yet. They had them made and inside of a heating display all bready and dry sprinkled cheaply with powdered sugar. It was only a dollar for each flavor but felt cheated and stupid. I decided to try the vegetarian roasted onion hot dog the previous reviewer suggested. The onions were dehydrated onions, hot dog boiled but cold, but the only good thing was about the picked relish. I think this place is a complete disaster and is running on tricking tourists.

Pros: The music is all they had going for them besides the air conditioner

Cons: Hot dogs are room temperature if not colder. The Beignets are an insult to my intelligence. They should be ashamed of themselves!

the best veggie dogs i have ever tasted, hands down. I though they had mistaken my order and given me a meat dog, but no, they veggie ones are just that good. Killer tart lemonade, too.

Had a late night snack before catching a movie with a friend. Good food and nice service, even though it was busy they were good.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Nothing

Great location in one of the hottest towns in the city. Check. Hip and trendy neon blue decor to match. Check. Young good-looking twenty somethings serving your food. Check. Best hot dogs in the city. Big Ole Check. So where do we go wrong? Well $7 for dog and fries and the fact youd have to eat at least 2 orders to even come close to feeling satiated. Still though gotta love the dawgs. Try the Top Dog.

Pros: best dogs in the city, cute friendly service, trendy decor

Cons: expensive, not filling

Our office has ordered delivery from the 23rd street store several times. The first experience was fine, though very slow. Subsequent experiences have not been so good - the last two times the orders were very incomplete - or just plain wrong. Today, after waiting over an hour and a half they called to say they lost our order, sorry. Save yourself the time and aggravation and go there and wait online for a long time for a hot dog - they are good - or order delviery way before you are hungry...or my recommendation is to order from somewhere you can depend on.

Pros: tasty, not very expensive, different

Cons: , delivery is awful

The hot dogs here are creative and delicious. I liked the great dane, but the size of what you get-for the price you have to pay, for everything here, is anything but great. And the service is even worse. I've been in this place for lunch--before the rush--so I'm the only person in there. Even though there are four people working back there and no other customers it takes 15-20 mins to put together a single hot dog. What's the deal? The service just sucks. I'd still recommend giving it a try because the food is good. But it is expensive for a tiny hot dog and a few fries with a little soda. I would need to eat at least two combos in order to be enough to eat(and trust me I'm not fat), but that would cost close to $20. . . for two hot dogs!???

Pros: Great Hot Dogs, Creative

Cons: , Not fast fast food, Small portions

Amazing variety of dogs and other treats with such inventiveness and attention to detail in their preparation. The tang and bite of the Great Dane is unrivaled. I agree with the others that say the folks here clearly love what they're doing and have an amazing product. 5 stars for cheap eats.

The french fries are reminiscient of McDonald's, but greasier and with less flavor. And why do they serve cold hot dogs? Sit at one of the bar stools along the wall and your nose will be 4 inches from the wall. If you come with a friend, sit sidewayts and face eachother inorder to releive the claustrophobia. The prices are amazingly high. The service was friendly and the blue light soothing, but I suspect that is to take your attention away from the fact that you just spent $22 on subpar hotdogs and soft drinks for 2. I left disappointed and searching for a Gray's Papaya.

Pros: Blue Light Mmmmm, Smiley faces

Cons: , Nose to wall seating, High prices

Good veggie dogs and a lot of choices, but it's a little pricey ($19 for 2 dogs, 2 drinks and a large fry). The dogs were also a little on the cold side. Don't think I'll be going back.

Great place for hot dogs, even if you do not eat meat- they have vegie dogs too. Large selection of toppings or you can go basic. Good, not great frites, desserts and interesting alternatives to hot dogs. A must try.

Pros: inexpensive, large selection, delivery!

Cons: not much seating
