For dinner, I had the pleasure of indulging in the Fried Mac and Cheese Hot Dog paired with a refreshing Berry Cider and a side of crispy Tater Tots. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the savory richness of the mac and cheese perfectly complementing the juicy hot dog nestled within a toasted bun. The crispy exterior of the mac and cheese added a delightful crunch, while the tangy sweetness of the berry cider provided a refreshing contrast.

It's been some time since I've visited - I've done a couple lunches here, and every time? The service has been great, the dogs have been tasty, and they have REVAMPED the menu!

Some of my favorite dogs are gone (no more kimchi!) but others have been added - takis! - and they still just hit the spot.

A full dog that doesn't leave you with more bun.

Their kitchen staff was running around like crazy with a full house outside, my buddy and I sat at the bar (perfect, IMO) and enjoyed a couple dogs.

I'm glad they're opening on campus, because they're clearly ready to branch out a bit (and then they'll be closer to me!)

Thanks for sticking the landing and coming back!

Lots of fun options for a hot dog. Cute spot for a chill casual date or takeout or a meet-up with your bestie.

The chili cheese dog was good, steak fries perfect, tots nice and crispy. The hot dog flavor seemed a bit diluted, like they were boiled maybe? Or maybe it's the Vienna brand? I prefer grilled all beef franks to preserve the juicy flavor inside, and that burst with that first bite.

I can't remember the name of the other hot dog I got...I think it was the spicy slaw. I would have preferred more crunch to the slaw but that's just me probably.

I'd definitely go back when in the mood for a downtown dog.

Dirty Frank's is basically a Columbus establishment. Its a quick and easy place to go for hotdogs and fried sides. Everyone's always friendly and can give you a rundown of the menu and various options. They have a large list of various hotdogs you can have or you can make your own with adding various toppings of your choice. I personally enjoy their tots a lot as they're always so crispy and hot and not many places have tots.

I was in town for a quick getaway. Saw this place with a lot of good reviews, and it didn't disappoint. Soo many options to choose from. One hot dog was enough for me cuz of all the fixens, but my boy was really hungry and double dogged it. He said it was a perfect amount. And my boy doesn'Slappy Pappy 's Super Sloppyt eat a lot. Little skinny guy, so I was surprised he was able to handle two of them. I guess mama didn't raise no quitter. Proud of you.

Servers were very nice and helpful with their suds suggestions.

Nothing like a fancy glizzy! That's pretty much it...

Pros:
- SO MANY OPTIONS! and they're totally willing to customize different options
- Root beer float and whipped pinnacle is to die for!

Cons:
- Minimal seating inside; this is probably only an issue on crazy busy nights! We stopped on a week night and had no issues getting a table!
- Small diner like area with a fully stocked bar

I worked at a hotdog restaurant for three years. I feel uniquely equipped to review Dirty Franks. Please accept my fullest recommendation for this wiener slinging winner.

The dogs are good, with plenty of options to customize your experience. All served on fluffy sesame buns, and with tons of combos available. My only critique is that the casing on the weiners is a smidge tougher than most other dogs I've tried. It's a small sin.

The prices are great for downtown. $15 and you'll eat like a king. $7 and you'll leave satisfied.

I can only imagine this place would be even better if your stumbling in from a nearby bar.

Service is quick and out of your way.

My first time trying Dirty Frank's Hot Dog is at the Columbus Crew game. So glad to try them out in the shop so soon.

The shop is intimate with both bar and table seating. The staffs are super nice and welcoming. I love their portrait art hang on the wall with different famous music band the singers.

Their menu have a huge selection on different variety of Hog Dog and you can always build your own Hot Dog. Once you get your order in, the food came out very fast. I got their Hot Mama Dog as part of their Yelp special, with a side order of the Chili Mac.

The Hot Mama Dog is totally super hot [for my low spicy tolerance] which have fire kraut, giardiniera, jalapenos and sriracha cream cheese. For me, I have to get some of the toppings off. Even after my first bite, my mouth is burning and start tearing If you like spicy, you would love this combo.

Their Chili Mac taste good as well and I love it topped with green scallions. However, it is luke warm when it came out and it would be perfect if it is hot.

This place is awesome! It was recommended via group shouting at a live podcast recording I was attending nearby, and I figure if that many folks were keen to suggest it, it was probably for good reason.

And it was.

I rarely struggle with having a vegetarian diet, but hot dogs hold a special place in my heart -- and in particular, West Virginia-style hot dogs. So when I saw that Dirty Frank's not only had vegetarian options but a vegetarian West Virginia dog option? I could barely contain my happiness.

Thankfully, it lived up to my expectation. It was a wonderful spin on the hot dog stand hot dogs of my childhood to the point where I couldn't stop grinning while digging in. I think the fries were good, too, and I remember there being a solid drink selection, but honestly? The hot dogs stole my heart and took over my memories of the visit.

I can't wait to go back. The next time I'm passing through Ohio, I'll try my best to detour through Columbus just for these wieners alone.
