Nathan's dogs are good but like any business that gets too large, quality starts to suffer. Having a Nathan's dog while strolling Coney Island will always be a quintessential New York experience but the truth is the best hot dogs are in Manhattan at either Gray's or Papaya King. You get much more for your buck at Gray's or Papaya King as well. Nathan's now also serves fish and chips, fried chicken and even burgers. The Coney Island location is essentially 3 restaurants in one now. Service is of a fast food quality but tolerable. If you want kraut or onions, you have to request it upon ordering.
Pros: Good Hot Dogs; Can't beat the location
Cons: Doing more than hot dogs has hurt the hot dogs
