Nathan’s Famous

This is the worst hot dog I’ve ever had. And it’s nearly 4 dollars. The bun was stale. A gnat flew out of the box when I opened it.
This place is disgusting.

The original Nathan’s in Coney Island is something special. It’s not just the food, but the nostalgia and experience. The chains that have popped up all over are hot dog stands that outside of the crinkle cut fries, are not so special.
Don’t get me wrong, this spot in 30^th Street station offers up a decent hot dog. But it does not stand out. And the extra things like burgers, well that’s just not why one goes to Nathan’s.
I will, however, say that even the chains, this one included, offer up the crinkle cut fries that are something special. The right amount of almost crispy on the outside and soft goodness on the inside.
Grab some fries to treat a craving, save your money and don’t overpay for the hot dog that is more a name than anything all that special.
