"There are two good times to go to Dat Dog. The first is before a night out when you want to drink a few beers, enjoy one of their many delicious sausages, and look out over Frenchmen Street as people start to filter in for the night. The other time is a few hours later, when it’s after 1am on a weekend and nothing in the world sounds better than a crawfish etouffee-covered bratwurst. Either is fine and regardless of what hour it is, you’re going to be very pleased with your decision." - chelsea brasted, megan braden perry
"The Frenchmen Street throngs get plenty hungry on the weekends and Dat Dog stays open until midnight during the week and til 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights to oblige. A mess of toppings — andouille sauce! crawfish etouffee! guacamole! — smother beef and pork sausages along dogs made of chicken, seafood, and vegetables. Keto fans can wrap that dog in romaine. The balcony offers the best people-watching views." - Beth D’Addono
"The annual turducken hot dog from Dat Dog is a popular local option that combines turducken sausage, cornbread dressing, cranberry sauce, andouille sauce, and green onions; it’s available at all three locations (Magazine Street, Freret Street, and Frenchmen) and runs late on Frenchmen Street (midnight during the week and 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday)." - Clair Lorell
"All three locations of this budget-friendly, artisan hot dog chain are open on Mardi Gras, but the Frenchmen Street location is arguably the most important for the holiday. It’s open and serving its seriously satisfying grub from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Fat Tuesday." - Clair Lorell
"A lively late-night hot dog joint open late and ideal for soaking up the night after dancing—the hot dogs are described as perfect for that purpose." - ByNina Compton, as told to Chelsea Brasted
