Skip the chili dog and stay with the original dog. It's best the classic way
Jackson ChewMay 1, 2013
Have something with a lot of that disgusting cheese sauce and a coke, then go for an intense ride in Luna Park behind it. Sure to be an unforgettable day.
Jennifer NeapolitanAugust 27, 2015
Lobster soup in winter, hot dog plain in summer or any time

A classic well worth trying on it's original location. Great in its simplicity.
Edwin IrizarryAugust 21, 2016
Lines are long but it's not because the food is great. It's because you got 20 supervisors 0 supervision and 40 employees with about 39 of them just waiting for their paycheck.

The famous hotdogs ! The sausage in it is great but the bread is just regular. But it's a must anyway !
ClexOctober 20, 2018
Hotdogs, you dont wanna miss when visiting the big Apple.
Rebecca BlakeJune 30, 2013
There's a Nathan's outside Coney& 1 on boardwalk. Eat at the outside 1 first, then get your souvenirs at the one on boardwalk on the way out
Theresa RoldanMay 22, 2016
Really good but too expensive. If you do decide to go for it, a simple fries and sauerkraut hot dog will do you well
Stevan MilesevicAugust 7, 2014
It's a Coney Island institution, what more can you say?! If you go to Coney you just have to stop for dogs at Nathan's!
Tom MengAugust 7, 2015

After the Hurricane famous Nathan's was destroyed!!!! Amongst other businesses in Coney Island! Coney Island took a massive hit! & lost a trade mark! Nathan's will never be the same again!

If you are in the mood for a beer, the clam bar (cyclone side) has a solid craft beer selection.
Sean SmithOctober 4, 2015
No trip to Coney Island is complete without a trip to Nathan's. Love grabbing a hotdog with peppers and onions.
JPJuly 28, 2015
Classic American hot dogs and fries. Come every year for the 4th of July Hot Dog Eating contest!
Alexandra TritzAugust 16, 2016
There is a lot of options to eat and be aware that the lobster roll comes in a hamburger bun !
Brenda ParisApril 17, 2017
The franks there are super crunchy. Must be the ocean and that extra salt. Yum..
MarcJanuary 14, 2018
Instead of the $4.50 dog, I grabbed the $10.50 seafood combo.
Anthea PenaJune 6, 2012
96yr legend. long lines but worth it. Try lobster rolls, cheesesteaks & burgers but dogs are a must
USA TODAYNovember 22, 2010
More than 30,000 fans pack the corner of Surf and Stillwell to watch the masters of competitive eating. For a more traditional thrill, stroll down the block to the Cyclone rollercoaster. Read more

Typical tourist trap with long, but managable, lines. The beef franks will leave you wanting more so be sure to pile up.
Tara DeVincenzoAugust 20, 2015
the "clams" are delicious (but don't be fooled- they're just little fried strips)
Simon VreemanMay 4, 2019
Chilly cheese hotdog with sauerkraut. Can’t go wrong with that.
Gabriel HayesJune 28, 2015
The Mecca of hot dogs. A must do when visiting Coney Island.
Jeffrey GilesSeptember 27, 2014
Highly overrated. Made the trip all the way to Coney Island to see what the 80+ year fuss was all about....NOTHING! But the boardwalk was fun!
Erica ChangFebruary 19, 2014
Big restaurant with small sitting area, had to wait a little till there's a table. Music was pretty old school American. Washroom on the side of the building.
Jessie CatanaSeptember 29, 2015
Landmark, delicious NY hot dogs. Sauerkraut and mustard. Nothing else needed.
Lulu AnguloMay 18, 2012
Have a cheese hot dog and a beer. It's the best combination. Don't ever think about eating anything else. Don't make that mistake.
Florence RobertJuly 21, 2014
I waited 15 minutes in line to order, and the whole time I was there, not even one person in my line got their food! & the other lines were super slow. I left. Famous hot dogs. Bad and slow service.
Carrie NJuly 7, 2014
Sheena is amazing. I've never had such good service, pretty much anywhere.
David BermanAugust 9, 2015
Oysters and seafood were surprisingly fresh, delicious, and affordable!
Amy CummingsJuly 5
Obviously get the original hot dog.
Tariq AhmadOctober 1, 2017
Worth trying at least once! Go for the original Nathan's ($5).

Expensive for hotdogs but its the original hot dog from Coney Island. Make sure you go to the one on the boardwalk. Surf avenue one is an extension

Wow, get on line and hope for the best. 20 minutes and I was second on line. Mostly hipsters and old timers now anyway. RIP NATHANS
TW ✈️👸🏻May 25, 2021
This is the big restaurant across the street from the subway station... vs the “stand” on the boardwalk.
Jacob FordDecember 28, 2015
Now that is a startlingly impressive $7 lobster roll.
G TJuly 31, 2019
Best hot dogs going. Kraut and onions!!!!
Jennie PaiSeptember 2, 2013
Everyone should try nathans famous at coney island at least once....well worth the trip
Polina WeitzFebruary 26, 2017
Hotdog with sauerkraut was ok. Didn't like the sauteed onions, but the fries were fresh. Try the Coney Island mermaid beer!
al viciedoSeptember 6, 2010
Get a hotdog, put mustard and ketchup on it. Get cheese fries and old fashioned lemonade. Eat on the grass in the new park by the boardwalk Nathans. Enjoy!
Catherine FarlandJune 16, 2015
A New York landmark but not the best hotdogs in New York go to crif dogs for that.
Karen ColeyJuly 10, 2017
Lobster roll,and Hot Dogs. Lemonade.
Gilbert WongAugust 4, 2018
Chili dogs are really good with or without cheese!
Christian NøklebyNovember 30, 2011
Said to be the home of the best fries and hotdogs in the city. Still, it's as unhealthy as it gets... Enjoy!
Scott KleinbergJuly 4, 2013
Don't be tempted by the giant menu. Get 2 hot dogs and a medium French fries. Trust me.
Chris RaghoobarDecember 24, 2015
If you're coming to Coney Island, it's basically mandatory to grab a hot dog or two from here.
MatSeptember 1, 2012
Many tips here are by people who got too much sun shining on their head. Hotdog is only random, nothing special, fries are quite okay. Medium coke is enough for 2 people. :-)

Calorie counts give a great indication of how much beer you get for small, medium, and large
