Reviews
“ This place is unbelievable. We wanted to try the Hot Italian Beef Sandwich. It was FIRE too. One of the best sandwiches one could experience. I am not always big on spicy foods, but this one took it away. We stopped here during our trip for some more good food. Dog Day Afternoon has big portion meals, and not so expensive, so be prepared to eat. Otherwise you will be going home with a doggy bag lol. Everything is freshly made. Nice people working here, what more could go wrong? ”

“ Anyone craving for a dog then you should check this place out as I consider a landmark for hotdog lovers in or out of NYC. I always order Chili cheese dogs as my go-to kind, and this has top-notch chili dogs. The guy running the place is a true hospitable host, and while the place is small it has that classic old-school vibe which doesn't disingenuous compared to most places; it helps sell on a vintage dog and not a cheap imitation. Speaking of landmarks, this is the area where Dog Day Afternoon was made, so it's very historic for cinephiles as well. ”

“ I actually only had these hot dogs through H&H reserve but they were some of the better hot dogs I've had in the city for awhile. Great bite, juicy and flavorful with a pillowy soft bun. Toppings were great, everything felt fresh and made to order. I'd definitely grab a glizzy from here again soon. ”

“ Being that today is National Hot Dog Day, how can I not stop in one of Brooklyn's best hot dog stands and try one of these out? I took a risk coming here, because since I live so close to Nathan's, I can go there anytime. This little stand in Windsor Terrace? Not so much. Before I "trample through the garden" with this review, I have been to Chicago - twice. I have eaten my share of Chicago style hot dogs. As a result, I do have some skin in the game when it comes to eating Chicago style hot dogs. -- I ordered three hot dogs, plus an Italian Beef sandwich, and a milkshake. The total is pretty high, but that is New York City for you. If I had gotten all of this in Chicago, I am pretty sure I would have gotten this whole feast for $10-$15 cheaper. Oh well. First thing is they offer a club card. Each hot dog you get, gets you one step closer to a free one. On the 10th hot dog, it is theirs to buy. The interior is retro, but gimmicky. I wanted to like it but it felt forced with the one Pac-Man arcade machine, all the VHS tapes, and all the late 80's to early 90's paraphernalia. Another restaurant, Ace Pizza in Williamsburg, made it feel like a welcome nostalgia trip. This is too in your face for my liking, and I lived through the 90's. Okay, how about those wieners? The food comes out pretty fast, but that is to be expected. Hot dogs if done right should take no more than 10 minutes to go from grill to table. The first two hot dogs I ordered, the Chicago style ones, are spot on authentic. Good poppyseed bun, they use Vienna Beef (that is the authentic Chicago style hot dog brand), excellent use of the vegetables, and good snap and resistance from the hot dog itself. It stands as a reasonable homage to their Windy City brethren. The next dog, the Chili Dog, is a disappointment. Too messy, and in one bite your clothes are ruined because it starts to fall apart after one bite. I love a good chili dog, but this one overdoes it. It reminds me of Pink's Hot Dogs in Los Angeles. Who is supposed to be the star? The Italian Beef, while not a hot dog, is a Chicago staple in its own right. While I enjoyed the soaked roll, and the tasty beef, the Giardiniera (hot pickled veggies), lacked. It needs more of a push to get it over the hump. It gets to the top, but then stalls out. As for the milkshake, it is creamy, fresh, and authentic. Maybe they should look to Portillo's and get that chocolate cake shake. Or not. I would weigh 500 pounds if they ever bring that here. -- The experience is fun and cute. The cashier is cute and genuine. She has good knowledge of the menu despite never being to Chicago (points lost there - just kidding). If the hot dog stand only focuses on Chicago style hot dogs, puts some duck fat fries on the menu (please...), and lowers their prices, this review could be seeing a higher rating. For now, it settles as a 4/5. However, the Chicago style hot dogs will have me back for that freebie. ”
