First spot I hit up in NOLA didn't disappoint! The atmosphere was amazing. I loved the open patio and bar. All the staff was super friendly and the menu was so unique and interesting. I got the etouffee dog, and it was out of this world! Fries were super crispy and they give you a ton of them. I also grabbed the black berry mule, and it was super stout. I'd definitely hang out here on the regular if I lived in the area!

They had multiple different kinds of vegan dogs!! The vegan brat was soo good. Tons of different options for regular and seafood sausages as well that other people said were delicious. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries. It was really nice how late they are open, just it to be busy in the late hours. It was the only place around serving food around 9pm. The servers were still very quick once you order though.

While out late we got hungry and this place was open! Such a neat concept and has some very unique items on the menu which we loved all that we tried! We even tried the alligator and crawfish hot dogs! The food was good, it was a fun place to visit and sit and eat! Will be a good memory for us

The variety of hot dogs is insane! I had the Guinness Dog with various toppings including chillies, sweet relish, and sour cream. The taste was phenomenal. Not only is the food delicious, the atmosphere was great and full of culture.

My friend and I chose this spot when I heard she was nearby Dat Dog. I order the Flying Pig for a quick bite since it is one of their specialties. This hot dog is perfect for bacon lovers! I like the grilled onions and the andouille sauce. Although I prefer ketchup and mustard for my condiments, the BBQ sauce tasted good. You can customize your own hot dog for additional charge. It's a great spot to enjoy delicious food.

Wow, best hot dog ever . I ordered the Sons of the Saints dog , what great flavor and the buns are next level. If in the area check this place out.

It's always one of the best places to eat in the city. Plus, it's on frenchmen street. It's just the coolest spot. I took my girlfriend there for her first time yesterday and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The only slight letdown was when I asked if they had all the makings for a Paloma, and she told me no, but upon looking, they did or least a bastardized one. Grapefruit juice works just fine. Will always be back there though.

Don't go starving because it is about a 30 min wait to get your food. We got gater dogs because of the novelty and they were good. Would definitely come back if we are ever in New Orleans again.
