Mouthwatering Hot Dogs in Columbus

Loops

★★★★☆ 4 (283) • $

"Loops is solid. Good for takeout. Timely service from the staff. A no frills eatery. My son loved his meatball sub. Their fries are up there with some of the best in the city. I had the Italian beef and it was great."

Ritzy's Clintonville

★★★★☆ 3.8 (208)

"Honestly, I'm upset I lived 38 years of my life without knowing about this place!! This is everything I've ever wanted in a diner - thin burger patties, shoestring fries, ample food/side options BESIDES just burgers and fries, quality ingredients, and THE most delicious shakes. The only thing they need to offer is a punch card for frequent diners! :)"

Johnnie's Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (150) • $

"Regular here! I love their burgers and usually I am not even a red meat eater but for them, I make an exception because it is just that good. There are honestly few burgers in Columbus that compare. Also a big fan of the fried mushrooms! The service is immediate because it is such a small establishment - shout out to Dom, he is the best! This place can get busy but usually during the week you have a good shot at getting a table without issue. Pricing is fair, parking is ample, beer is cold and service is great!"

Village Coney

★★★★☆ 4.3 (106) • $

"Bring back the skinny fries!! I ordered the #1 with cheese: two chili cheese coneys with fries and a soda...and of course they add the little Debbie oatmeal pie, cost $10 plus $1tip. The guy taking orders acts like he hates his life and his job, but I think that's his very soon of efficiency and I always give him a buck anyway. Everything was as I remember and enjoyable (I stop by every few months) except I really miss the skinny fries. I did have a bit of a weird texture in my mouth and checked that out... It looks like they burned the hot dog a little bit so the skin was tough."

Crazy Dogs Grill

★★★★★ 4.6 (88) • $

"Love Crazy Dogs! You can choose from every hot dog topping and combination imaginable, yummy fries and sides, and more! Food is always hot and freshly prepared. Service is friendly, and they always make you feel welcome and appreciated! Dining room is super clean and comfy! Great place all the way around!Our favorite is the Chillicothe Dog!P.S. The only thing that would make the dogs even better is a warm, toasted bun!!"

Larry's Dawg House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (59) • $

"Just ok. Footlong wiener was very thin & not exciting at all. Maybe my expectations were too high? Cheap prices though. Overrated. According to me."

Wilson's Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.7 (75) • $

"Customer service here is impeccable, they treat you as if you are family. Your order comes quick and fresh! Portions are decent and price is fair $10 for a burger, drink, and dessert!"

Dad's Coneys and Wraps Graceland

★★★★★ 4.6 (45) • $

"Service excellent, the staff VERY friendly, and the establishment is clean! Now for the FOOD. The hotdogs we had were excellent! The coney meat sauce was delicious! We both had the West Virginia dog, and the slaw was delicious! I also had the Chicago dog. Again delicious but the poppyseed bread was thicker than the regular bread, and the Chicago dog was missing the neon relish. All in all, the dogs were good, and I would go back! Oh, I forgot, I didn't have the baked beans but my friend did and she said she would not get again."

Franks and Sammies

★★★★☆ 4.1 (49) • $

"Drove in from Columbus to see what my dad was raving about, it was so worth it!!! If you like beer, they have a great mix!!! I had the Baby it's cold outside, my dad got the Jambalaya and hubby got the Makin' Love Ukulele Style. All 3 were amazing!!! My dads favorite so far is the Pig! The chili on my dog was delicious!! I plan on getting chili cheese fries next time plus try a new dog!Robin was such a wonderful server. I think she owns the place. There are 2 sides of the restaurant. One side is like an old fashion diner!!! The other side is a bar with a little stage, some antique pianos. The decor is so fun to look at!!!We will be driving in from Columbus regularly to eat here!!"

Bowzers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (39) • $

"Bang for your buck: 9/10Quality: 9.5/10Service: 9/10Ambiance/Location: 8/10Overall: 9/10A great hidden gem! It's a bit intimidating from the outside. Not in a great area and a bit unassuming (but cute!). We ordered two of their most popular dogs, pops, and two ice cream cones and our bill was about $20. A bit expensive for hot dogs, but they were seriously massive and wound up being worth it. The owner is incredibly kind and spoke to us for awhile while we waited and while we ate. Be aware he'll likely talk to you, too, but it's part of the charm. If that's not your thing, plan to take yours to-go.The menu is extensive and there's always a super unique special. For example, they serve a gator dog (yup. a hot dog made of alligator) every October with such limited availability folks are lining up to get theirs. Don't let the outside fool you; you need to stop in."

The Barn On York

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (65) • $

"I read some other reviews and they were ridiculous but everybody is entitled to their opinion. We have lived in Pataskala for a year and a half and never tried it. Be warned this is a bar that has the best pizza. Has to be one of my top three pizzas ever. Crispy crust, wonderful sauce, quality toppings and perfect cheese. Service was great. Price was what you would expect. If you do have beer, they have a large selection on tap. Also well drinks and generous shots!"

Smash Shack Burger

★★★★☆ 4.3 (21)

"This was one of my top five favorite burgers ever. So fresh and perfectly prepared! Fries were bomb too. Prices are a wee bit high, but that's true all over these days. Best yet... they deliver to the Jack Florence pool at Mingo park! What could be better than a fine tasty burger sitting by the pool? It's summer - treat yourself."

Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog POLARIS

★★★★☆ 3.7 (23)

"I'm so grateful for this place! The kimbap is delicious and fresh! I miss my mom's Korean food and this adorable stand hits the spot without having to drive out to upper Arlington"

Wiener King Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.8 (13) • $

"Don't know how I ended up in Mansfield, but I did. Can't say I was looking for it either but there she was, Wiener King. Upon entering, me and my buddy were greeted with the warmest hospitality and downright homey feel. Figured I'd go with the world famous footlong with some jalapeno poppers, washed down with a diet pop (notice I didn't say "soda"). Everything tasted...right. Can't say it was the best hot dog meal ever, but you damn betcha inbetween bites of that footlong my eyes gazed on the walls of pure mid-late 1900's nostalgia... everything felt right in the world. When I make my way back to middle of OH...I will definitely stop here."

Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Truck

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Hands down the best hot dogs in the states! If we are in the area it is a must stop. No bad choices or options."

Hot Dog Wally's

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (5)

"Really hate to give bad reviews. Experience was awful. The dog was a good size but undercooked. Service was bad and unfriendly for such a small line. There should have been a sign that said "out of relish, mustard, and Diet Pepsi." Had a lot of upset customers forced to put ketchup or mayonnaise on their hot dog. I actually spilled ketchup on my shirt and realized there were no napkins either. Ugh.I'd like to give these guys another try if there were different people working the truck. The hot dog could be good if cooked better."

Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace is an excellent spot! We were big fans of the downtown location so we visited the campus location as well which can confirm is also amazing! The service is very quick and attentive and the restaurant is clean. They have a variety of menu options you can choose from and so many hot dogs on the menu. They have a great deal which is $12.95 for any 2 hot dogs and a side of fries or tots. They serve beer / alcohol as well and have a decent sized draft list to choose from. Great place! Would certainly recommend and return!"
