Nathan’s Famous

The sign was screaming out to me in bright green letters illuminated across a yellow background: NATHAN’s. Denying this direct calling by name would have been blasphemous, so I scooted across the terminal to catch a bite before my flight.
The Grub –
* Sauerkraut Dog ($ 3.85)
* Chili & Cheese Dog ($ 4.25)
Venue Review –
You’ll find Nathan’s Hot Dogs on the outskirts of the food court (the prime real estate went to McDonald’s, Dunkin Donuts, and a couple other big timers). The sign caught my eye while I plodded to terminal C. There’s always plenty of seats in the dimly lit fast food court.
Food Review –
The hot dogs are lifeless. The dog itself is pitifully small, soaked in grease and tough to chew. Furthermore, the buns are stiff and wafer thin; both of mine split in two as I picked up the hot dog for my first bite! Watery chili without texture, off-​tasting condiments, and an overpriced menu just don’t cut it.
Service Review –
Nathan’s redeems a single star for their speed of service. The workers there are quick and efficient, rotating between the cash register, picking wieners off the grill, and calling out order numbers like clockwork. They get the job done and blaze through lines of customers.
Overall Impression –
I’m not sure how other Nathans’ are, but if the food quality is comparable to the kind I found at this airport, you won’t find me there! People often send me pictures of themselves at the hot dog chain and I was always interested but never had a chance to give it a shot. Unfortunately I didn’t have the best experience with the chain which I share a name.):

having seen the hot dog eating championships year after year on ESPN, I have always wanted to eat a Nathan’s hot dog. I know going to the actual location in NY would be different, but I saw an opportunity to try the food and I went for it. So sad.
This kiosk in the airport was WACK. The service was mad slow, and there was no kind of organization to the lines. To top it off, you’re dropping $ 8 – 9 on a hot dog, fries and drink (yeah, I know it’s an airport) that quite frankly isn’t that great. I got a chilli cheese dog and cheese fries. Yeah, nothing special.
I wouldn’t use this as an accurate gauge of the actual Nathan’s Hot Dogs in Coney Island, but I’m not going out of my way to get their food outside of NY.

I tried the chili-​cheese dog and buffalo wings.
The chili-​cheese dog wasn’t bad. Messy. With cheese wiz type of cheese. But not bad.
The «buffalo» wings were simply deep fried wings and no «buffalo» sauce was around or about the wings. The wings might have been good if they were in fact not sitting under some sort of heat lamp and actually deep fried when ordered.
I enjoyed the lemonade.
