Wow! Ive been to the fat Frank's hot dog cart before, but never the walk in restaurant, and boy was I surprised when I saw all the different things you can get! Of course being overwhelmed with the decision, I stuck to the main thing that keeps me coming back to FF. The chili cheese dog is my favorite, their in house chili is top notch! And the husband chose the Hawaiian dog, don't let the name fool you, that baby has a bite! I will definitely be heading back again!

Hotdogs, smokies, and hamburgers done right! They offer loyalty stamp cards, supplies to take home, and local craft beer (Yellowhead) on tap. Check the daily specials when you are ordering, you might find yourself changing your mind.

The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. Whenever we order food, it comes quickly. They have a few tables with chairs & bench/booth seating. They also have a booster seat and highchair for use, if you need them. There is ample parking in the lot surrounding the building. They have a washroom onsite. They have a large selection of help-yourself toppings and sauces. You can order to stay or take it to go. They have daily specials for a discounted price OR an extensive menu to choose from. They also have a kids meal for the littles. It's a great spot to enjoy something quick & different for lunch.

If you're a hotdog enthusiast and are looking to have a elevated and interesting hot dog experience then this is the right place for you! Things are a little on the pricier end but from what I know, they source their ingredients– or their beef at least– from high quality and local sources so you're paying for that quality as well.

Super tasty food, the hot dogs are on point and fairly priced, and the poutine dishes are very good but I found them to be a bit pricey for what you get. My personal favourite poutine is the Japanese poutine it's really something unique and worth trying! The restaurant and bathroom is always clean and well stocked. I also enjoy the selection of hot dog toppings they provide at the self serve condiment station. They're licenced and have some dine in tables but not very many. All in all a great place to eat, I stop in every time I'm working in the area.

Dosent disappoint! Love the hot dogs here. Off the menu or build your own! Don't forget they have a huge selection of various sauces and toppings to top your burger with on the side!
