Hot dogs are one of those nostalgic foods that just bring you back to a simpler time. Maybe it’s a baseball game you went to as a kid, maybe it’s a summer cookout with family, or maybe it’s a late night in the quarter when you find yourself in line at a Lucky Dog. This particular restaurant has some of the most creative hot dogs you’ve ever tried, and you’re going to fall in love after first bite. Let’s check it out.
Dat Dog has been around since 2011, feeding tasty dogs to locals and tourists looking to expand their hot dog palate.
The original Dat Dog was a tiny little 475 square foot shack, but they quickly outdrew their humble beginnings. Today, there are three locations around New Orleans where you can sink your teeth into a tasty dog.
Bright colors and funky vibes is the overall atmosphere when you step inside of a Dat Dog.
It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you’re surrounded by all of these colorful designs and intoxicating aromas. Step up to the counter and prepare to make the hardest decision of the day: what type of dog you want.
There are over 30 toppings you can choose from (at no extra charge) so you can make your dog as simple or as extravagant as you want.
You'll find yourself coming back here again and again to try all of the different dogs.
Just a ketchup and mustard kind of person? No problem.
Sometimes, simple is best.
They also have several house special dogs that will blow your taste buds away.
And it’s not just their toppings that are incredible. Everyone knows a good hot dog starts with the sausage, and at Dat Dog, you have plenty of options. From smoked bratwurst to alligator sausage, you’ll have a tough time deciding on what dog to get.
Grab some loaded tots for the table to snack on.
Because nothing goes better with a hot dog than some loaded tots or fries.
Or maybe some crawfish étouffée fries.
Get some for the table to share! Crispy fries topped with a generous amount of crawfish étouffée. It’s a pairing you wouldn’t think of, but it just works so well.
They also have some tasty seafood dogs
Like their house special, the sea dog, pictured above which featured a beer-battered codfish topped with onions, tomatoes, yellow mustard and their homemade tartar sauce. A perfect lenten treat for those days when you’re abstaining from meat.
And chicken dogs.
Feeling spicy? Then grab one of their buffalo chicken dogs with fried chicken, buffalo sauce, bleu cheese and celery. Yum!
And with three locations in New Orleans, you're never too far away from one.
5030 Freret St., New Orleans, LA 70115, 3336 Magazine St., New Orleans, LA 70115, and 601 Frenchman St., New Orleans, LA 70116.
