Had to visit the original location of my favorite chilli dogs! Love those classic fries as well. Great snap to the dogs and the famous chilli recipe did not disappoint. Fries were on point as well. Very quiet because I went during the off-season, but it was a Birthday treat and did not disappoint! 😁

This was our first visit to NYC. During a tour we went to Coney Island! We decided to try the original Nathan's! It was really good. My wife ordered a chili cheese hot dog. I got the chopped cheese hero! Both were really good! We shared some french fries! The fries were good but too thick for our taste!

I love this Nathan’s it’s very big many places to sit, good music might be bit of a wait depending how many people cause the food is freshly prepared but it’s worth it, the prices could be a little lower though to me anyway

I mean it Nathan's flag ship, the original, I had cheese fries and hot dog, all were delicious. I found the prices a little expensive, but maybe it's just me.

The first place we went after getting off the subway on our day trip to Coney Island was to the original Nathan's Famous restaurant on the corner of Stilwell St & Surf St, about 200 yards from the subway station. We had read about this famous restaurant, which began in 1916 as a nickel hot dog stand in Coney Island operated by Nathan Handwerker a Jewish-Polish immigrant, and wanted to try their famous hot dogs. There's a seafood section on the left hand side as you enter the long Surf St store front and a hot dog section on the right. I ordered the original hotdog with sautéed onions & a large pint of draft Brooklyn beer for my wife and a chilli dog with sautéed onions & extra jalapeños with 1/2 pint of the draft Coney Island Mermaid IPA beer for myself, at one of the self order kiosks. The kiosks only accepted credit card payments and I'm not sure if you could pay with cash. I choose the eating in option, paid $40 and waited for a server to call out my name to pick up my order from the counter. It wasn't busy on our visit so our food & drinks came out pretty quickly. Ketchup, mustard, napkins & plastic cutlery were provided on self service carts by the entrances to the store. After loading up on mustard & Ketchup on our hot dogs, we found a table in the large outdoor seating area, which had restrooms at the far end of it. The hot dogs were very tasty on fluffy, soft lightly toasted rolls & I particularly enjoyed the extra bit of heat & crunch provided by the fresh jalapeños on my hot dog. My wife's Brooklyn beer was a dark hoppy beer & my Coney Island Mermaid IPA beer was lighter & fruity. Both beers were refreshingly cold and perfectly accompanied our hot dogs. The hot dogs are fairly small so I went back to the counter and ordered 4 delicious chicken tender pieces (which were perfectly crunchy on the outside, tender & moist inside) accompanied by a fantastic honey mustard sauce, together with another Nathan's original hotdog to share, for $15. We really enjoyed our first experience of Nathan's Famous food and beers sitting outdoors in the hot late summer sun, near the sea👍 We passed another Nathan's store when we walked along the Boardwalk and just managed to resist our urges to have another of their delicious hotdogs 🤣

Not sure where to start. Wait for food was long, hot dog was over cooked and first set of fries were not cooked enough. Definitely a touristy thing and would not go again. Tables outside were nice, bathrooms were awful(public) and employees were very busy talking to each other.

I love the fact that Nathan's offers the option with the Mobile location in the park much quicker service for sure.
Come schlep to Coney Island so you can eat your hot dogs at the location where competitors guzzle endless dogs every July 4th. Stand in their shadows as you sample the seafood, hot dogs, and burgers offered at this Nathan’s.
There’s seating beside the building should you prefer to consume your processed meats with some shade.

One of Brooklyn's classic, not the healthiest option but totally worth it
