Vickie HickmanOctober 21, 2016We were driving home from NC to MI, and were starving. I looked up a place to eat and DF's sounded delicious. We found it easily and had a short wait, but OH SO worth it. Loved everything.
Incredible spot. Yes it's small, yes it's crowded, but its all easily ignored as the concept is brilliant and the food perfectly imagined & executed. Good luck not over-ordering b/c it's all so good!
Local treasure. Honestly, if you like hot dogs, then you will find most everything here worth checking out. Live on the edge and try a combination outside your normal dining preferences!
AbbeyAugust 7, 2017YUM. Good. Fast. Great for late night munchies. If you are looking for some good, quick food look no farther. Not from Columbus, but if I go back I will be visiting again!
Scott ConnerAugust 4, 2015Being vegan can be difficult at times when eating out. Places like Dirty Franks give us vegans a small glimpse of our past lives with out feeling guilty! The fries and vegan dogs were amazing!
Tara RogersJanuary 8, 2012Classy lady (cheese & potato chips) and true love always (cream cheese & green olives - a must try) are my faves! The fresh hand cut fries are delish - just like fries at the fair. Great Cbus hangout!
All dogs are $3-$4 dollars and the soft, salty, pretzels with cheese sauce are amazing! Try the "Cowgirl Carmen": meat coney sauce, cheddar, and fritos. A plain old wiener is called "The Glenn Beck".
Great rotating craft beers on tap. Pretzel appetizer with Sriracha cheese is my favorite. But you come here for the hot dogs!
Everything I have had is good. But it's better if you eat at the restaurant. I have gotten dogs to go and they end up being smashed and thrown in the bag. It's not the same and not worth it.
Lisa PainterAugust 3, 2014Walked here from the greyhound station and even though it's just 2 blocks I would walk a mile. Great prices..Great service..amazing dogs!- Nitra MAugust 28, 2012The classy lady and the picnic table are my favorite hot dogs here. And the tater tots are the best. Everyone In Columbus must come here at least once!
Ryan ShattuckJuly 15, 2015This place absolutely lives up to the hype. Get the Sonoran. Or the Chicago. Hell, get anything. You can't go wrong.
Great Chicago Dog (try it ripped), then expand your tastes from there. Try the fried leeks for a side.
Alistair ShawJuly 8, 2015Great selection, awesome tater tots. Only a small place, might have to wait to be seated, but totally worth it.
Two dogs and an order of tater tots is the perfect balance for a meal!
Everything is soooooo good!!! One of the best places in town to eat--and one of my favorites, for sure!
This hot dog place has the best vegetarian options in columbus. And the beef dogs are also amazing. It gets crowded but the wait staff is awesome. Best restaurant ever!
Awesome place! Cheap hot dogs, and are very delicious. I got the 'Classy Lady' which was really good. I also got the 'Zippity Zam' and the sriracha made it really spicy. Their onion rings are great to
prasanth venugopalMarch 19, 2013The best hot place in the Cbus town. Try the Bollywood mango hot dog and their draft selection. Ohioana is my favorite...- Slappy pappies super sloppy. crunchy, creamy, fried, steamed — #fantastic
Nick JordanMarch 13, 2015Go with the romaine lettuce wrap instead of the bun. It gives some texture to that delicious dog.
Tammy PollockMarch 26, 2018Must try the fried leeks. Had the vegan THE REAL MAN and THE OLD FAITHFUL. Delicious
Get 2DFs early!!!! & b sure2ask about specials! "Lunch Lady" special i had was OUTSTANDING! Great happy hour specials2. Service is good(but sometimes hard to get their attention). Mon's karaoke night.
Jason HiteOctober 18, 2013Awesome place, try the bacon wrapped dogs filled with cheese. Along with pretzel and dips ( mustard and cheese)
JaredDecember 22, 2015Not usually a fan of hotdogs, but damn if this place wasn't delicious. Great spot, excellent service.
Kevin RieberJune 30, 2011Great stuff, Hot Bollywood is a great one. Tots portions are wildly inconsistent. more than enough to share with 2-3 other times just enough for 1
Danny YeagerAugust 21, 2015The classy lady is amazing. Plus the funnel fries are the perfect size to share w a friend.
Always a few great beers in their rotating tap selection- short beer list, but high quality!
There are so many dogs you'll find one you like. Get the tater tots or fries and get em loaded with toppings.- I crave the tots. Veggie dogs are awesome. Veggie coney sauce is amazing.
William ScrogginsJune 4, 2014Shark Dog and tater tots were wonderful! They've got cans of Black Label and RC Cola instead of Coke. Nice!
Jim KoontzJune 1, 2012You have to try a Cowgirl Carmen, and then be sure to do a make your own, and add siracha cream cheese....
Kartik SathappanNovember 2, 2014Don't worry if you don't like hotdogs. The bratwurst with sriracha mustard is amazing!
They're great about allowing you to tweak the menu a bit. I added jalepenos, sriracha mustard, and an extra "frank" to my Dog-inator and called it the Double Dog Dare Ya Dog-inator.- Nitra MAugust 28, 2012The only downside tho is how busy it is. If you don't have a lot time on your hands and looking for something fast. come back when you have more time to wait
You have to try the tator-tochos. Best appetizer on the menu. The jalapenos are fresh.
Egan YoungMarch 1, 2012Beano was the stuff back when I was a vegan, but I usually get the Chili Cheese and Chicago dog now a days. Check that shit out- Bacon-wrapped ftw! My cousin introduced me to Bacon-wrapped and it's been a revelation.
- Started yesterday... The "Franks-giving" dog! Hotdog with mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy & side of cranberry! AWESOME! I dare you to eat one and NOT want a nap... Mmmmmm (followed by Zzzzzzzzz)!
Lauren MeyerMarch 25, 2013Awesome service, delicious wieners & the appetizers are da Bomb!!!! Great environment.
- Berlin & Co. JerseyMay 22, 2014Hot Dogs were okay, not impressed. The menu is overwhelming. You will need to pay for parking on the street. The seating is very tight. Return: No Decor: 5 Staff/Service: 6 Food/Quality: 5
Drew GoettemoellerMarch 27, 2012One of the coolest places in town. Get the fried leeks for a change from onion rings.
Greg BeckSeptember 25, 2012The best part about this place is the artwork on the walls. Hot dogs aren't bad either.
Christina MillerNovember 22, 2009Go to Dirty Franks and try the Lime Habenero Slushie. It has Tequila in it too. The onion rings and mac and cheese are sinful. The hot dogs are awesome too. Read more
Cris BoschMarch 12, 2014Don't go on a karaoke night. Please don't unless you dare to sing!! Great cheap food!
