The Nathan’s Famous story is as much about famous flavor as it is tradition. In 1916, Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker started a nickel hot dog stand on Coney Island with a $300 loan from two friends and his wife’s secret spice recipe. Today, Nathan's is the most famous hot dog in the world, with restaurants across the globe, products in every supermarket in America and millions of beloved fans.

Our restaurant system now includes over 400 restaurants; four locations are corporate owned with the remaining franchised or licensed operations. We serve world famous beef hot dogs and crinkle cut French fries and a wide variety of menu items.
