Truth be told, finding a place to eat with the main course under $10 is pretty rare these days. Rare, but not impossible. Especially when you’re looking to satisfy your food craving with a scrumptious hot dog. Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace in Ohio has been slinging dogs since 2009, and with multiple locations, you can find a satisfying hot dog without making much of a dent in your wallet.

Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace in Ohio is known for its creative and quirky take on hot dogs. With its main location downtown, this fun and casual eatery has become a must-visit for Ohio tourists and beloved locals who are drawn to its classic eats and inventive menu. Dirty Frank’s offers various hot dog toppings that make each visit unique, including unusual ingredients like Sriracha coleslaw, kimchi, Fritos, and peanut butter, alongside more traditional toppings like onions, chili, cheese, and more.

The menu features hot dogs with playful names, like "Slappy Pappy’s Super Sloppy," loaded with chili, cheese, and onions, or "The Ohioana," which honors local flavors. With 25 different hot dog varieties to choose from, you’ll have your pick of unique topping combinations.

Another highlight of this iconic spot is that there are options galore outside of the toppings. All dogs can be made with either beef or a soy-free veggie dog, so non-meat eaters can chow down, too. Plus, you can choose from a steams dog or charred - your choice! Alongside their famous dogs, Dirty Frank’s also offers sides like tater tots and fried pickles and a good selection of local craft beers, making it a great spot to experience local flavors and Ohio’s relaxed, creative food scene. Plus, the restaurant’s interior has a laid-back, dive-bar vibe with quirky décor, neon signs, and walls covered in local art, creating a lively, welcoming environment. Good eats and a great vibe, what more could we ask for?

Plus, for anyone who can't make it in person to the brick-and-mortar, Dirty Frank's has a roving food truck that pops up monthly. Just check out the monthly food truck calendar to see where these hot dogs are showing up next!
