Shatoiya McCannOctober 10, 2013You can't go wrong with the John John Deragon! I was a little hesitant about a hot dog w/ cream cheese but hot diggity dog is it good! Also, the cheese fries are outta this world. You get a lot!
Fun little hotdog spot. The tables are actual arcades. They have about 20 different hotdogs. Get the bacon wrap ones!! They serve milkshakes and beers. The server was really cool and they open till 4!
Brie OsbornJanuary 20, 2015I love the spicy redneck my favorite , my first time there I drove back 2 times in one day because I was addicted I love the flavors & you taste all the ingredients the BEST dogs ever in my life 😍😍
Time Out New YorkJuly 18, 2018The stoner-friendly offerings at Crif Dogs include this perennial top-seller, featuring a bacon-wrapped dog, chili, coleslaw and pickled jalapeños. Read more
- Djaniella D.January 28, 2015The "Morning Jersey" definitely hits the spot for a jersey gal... Or anyone for that matter. Can't go wrong with anything you pick because even the plain Crif Dog kept me coming back for more.
Rahul GuptaMarch 31, 2018The dogs are actually pretty good. At first I was reluctant bc they're just dogs, but I left happy! Definitely worth a visit at least once if you're in the area.
Gabriel HayesJanuary 10, 2016My go to Crif Dog is the Good Morning Dog. A bacon wrapped dog smothered w/ melted cheese & a fried egg. The perfect hot dog concoction.
Cole KennedyMay 9, 2015You're going to need 2 hot dogs. You're going to want a side. You know what? You should go for the Chef's Choice. Save money and live a little!
Bradley BoughtonMarch 18, 2016Get the crif combo meal.$10 for 2 dogs and a side. Complete random and at the chef choice! Very enjoyable for the taste of America!
Neat little hot dog joint with an arcade game as a table. The hot dogs are great, that chili dog is killer. If you can get it bacon-wrapped, do it.- Gabriel HayesJanuary 10, 2016Best late night eat in Williamsburg. Nothing is more clutch after a night of drinking that some cheese tots and a Crif Dog.
Allison KasicMarch 31, 2016Trust the crazy flavor combinations. The weirder it seems (cream cheese on a hot dog?), the more delicious it is.
GET THE Philly tube steak. Caramelized onions in a hotdog drenched in gorgeous creamy fake cheese you get on nachos at a movie theatre. It's the best when your drunk.
Ria BJanuary 31, 2015what VEGETARIAN CORNDOGS, whatttttttt - so on point (and they have PACman tables where you can play 1 or 2 player games while you're eating. nuff said)
Tiffany EliscaJune 26, 2014I love the fact I get to customize my own hot dog. I love a hot dog with avacado and coleslaw with cheese fries on the side!! (Great lemonade by the way)
Josh TaroliJune 25, 2015Unfortunately forgot the name, but ask for this hot dog. One of the best I've ever had. Overall, incredibly delicious sausage!
Natalie FreilichMarch 8, 2015Sometimes you just want a plain old dog and Crif Dogs' got it. Or you can get very adventurous in your toppings. Great tater tots too.
An unhealthy vegetarian's paradise. Two Jon Jon Deragons (sub veggie dog), a side of cheese fries, and a red birch beer before every drunken L ride home to hattan.
Len GrandJune 10, 2014the fries aren't a must I think, come here for the hotdogs...and do yourself a favor, order two!👌👌
Best spot for munchies but be careful with the amount as your body might not agree with you on that the next day!
Ksenia SemenovaJanuary 19, 2011Don't lose ur phone, but if u do it in Crif dogs be sure that they give it back to u! So not only hot dogs are excellent here (I took John john deragon - yammi!) but stuff too!! Million thanks to them
All the hot dogs are great. One of my personal favorites is the Sour Cheese Dog. Crif Packs are a great deal.
Lauren KentMay 15, 2014I had to ask my (crazy nice) server, but it seems you can sub a veggie dog in most crif creations, as long as said dog isn't meat-covered. yay!
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014If its wrapped in bacon you wont regret it. Try a few options. You cant get fat off of only one meal anyway.....or can you?
Good morning dog paired with the BLT dog and ur all set. Splurge and get them waffle fries #noms
Lior PasterJanuary 29, 2012I love the NY Dog with these toppings: pineapple, avocado, and jalapenos. Jalaps are a bit spicy but the avocado creaminess smooth things out and pineapple adds sweet and sour finish.
Joshua IngramMarch 30, 2013The staff here absolutely makes the experience. Specifically on acsaturday - 1 chick running the whole joint cheery and fun as hell despite all of our drunk hungry asses
Mark KupasrimonkolJuly 14, 2015Tots and anything bacon wrapped are the way to go. Surprisingly pricey of you go a la carte.
Yaakov WielgusSeptember 6, 2015Love the dogs they are delicious I had the classic new York with sourkraut and onions it definitely hit the spot- Gabriel HayesJanuary 10, 2016Best Hot Dog in Williamsburg. Either this or the Coney Island Nathan's are the best hot dog in Brooklyn.
Jonathan SanAugust 3, 2015Pretty good. Ps you have to make your own dog with toppings. I don't think the cashier knows what a Menu is used for.
Shari RiveraApril 29, 2012Best veggie dogs ever! Have the chihuahua or the spicy redneck if you're a meat lover with a side of chili cheese fries. Yum!
Roxy K.June 19, 2014One of the best hotdogs I've ever tried. Hipster spot, nice music, majestic taste.- Gabriel HayesJanuary 10, 2016They have beer (can and draft). Great way to wash down a tasty hot dog.
John-Carlos LunardiniJanuary 17, 2016Delicious veggie dog with a fried egg and cheese. Eat while people watching on driggs avenue silently laughing to yourself- Gabriel HayesJanuary 10, 2016This place is awesome. Love Crif Dogs in general and this is a great location.
Kimmie OhhDecember 30, 2019If you can’t decide what to order, get the Crif pack - the chef will choose which ones to serve you :)
Joe AndreasenApril 16, 2015Um...besides a great selection, they have original Kenner Star Wars figures!!!! Nothing beats that!!
Pretty much the evil hipster twin of the East Village location. Munchies can run but they can't hide. Make sure to ask for a magnet to make your fridge @ home look cool.
