This place rocks, I work on the strip and come here often for lunch. The topping portions are generous, the dogs are cooked well and are unique and tasty. Price is right, service is excellent and the food is great!

I am an avid hot dog enthusiast and this place just served me the most incredible hot dog I have ever consumed. I told my husband that if he were to come here without me, that would be on the same par as cheating. COME IN! It’s to DIE FOR!

First off, whoever the cashier is, he is amazing!! His personality is awesome and it seems like he really enjoys his job! I’m under the impression that he is the owner so if so, hope he see’s this! You’re doing an amazing job at this establishment! I ordered me the Manhattan hot dog and it was pretty good. It’s a nice sized hot dog and I’ve never had a hot dog with potato slices on it but it was great! My friend ordered the Coney Island and she enjoyed hers as well. I’m moving next week so I may stop by one last time!

There's not a hot dog stand in the area! After coming across Frank's Alley, OMG, I fell over the hill with the Bronx Dog (and I added some coleslaw) AKA BronxSlaw Dog There's an area for the kids to get a FREE book from their library and a wall that you can write on (be sure to take a picture of it)! Great Customer Service, if there's a line give them a 3-4 minutes wait! Only thing missing is 80's/90's/00's Music ... You Guys ENJOY!

Absolutely great! I had the Queens Dog, which has homemade kimchi and Sriracha mayo. Those ingredients were perfect together. They are also beef dogs, and I personally love that as I don't eat pork. I asked & they do have pork options if that's more your vibe. The staff (Kayla & Geweisha) were so sweet. It was super clean inside with plenty of seats inside and out. They also have a community program to pay it forward for a meal in case someone needs it. I loved it here, what a great addition to the downtown community.

We love franks!!! It’s a tradition of my husband and I to come at least once a year when we visit Columbus and get some glizzys, take an outrageous photo of each other eating a giant dog, and hangout in the southern Sun! We love this place and the food it amazing and fast! Perfect lunch spot. 10/10 recommend.

I'm from New York and the 'dirty water dog' was done really well. Took me back. The staff was way too friendly so the New York vibe was gone. (I'm being sarcastic, they were great) Overall, an excellent experience!

We wanted to try something fun for lunch on a day trip to Columbus and ended up here. The great reviews are spot on, it was a cute small shop with creative menu items. We loved our Carolina and Charlotte dogs and soft pretzels with beer ...
