Lucky Dogs

April 12, 2025 Lucky Dogs ordering was quick and easy. Service was helpful. I had a regular chili dog with cheese and enjoyed it. I recommend this location.

The fellow reviewer who states he should have known better, is absolutely correct. The line for everything else was much longer. It can’t be just because it’s a hot dog. Thes quality just doesn’t meet the standard for a place to call themselves a hot dog place since 1948. It’s in the airport so I’ll give it that, but I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. Try the several restaurants next door

The service was fine. I should’ve known something was up when hardly no one was in line at a busy airport. As a hotdog connoisseur, I was so excited to try a hotdog from a place that has been in New Orleans for 75 years. I simply don’t get it. It tasted like a cheap grocery store hotdog. I took just a few bites because I was starving and then threw it away. I got food at another place. The prices are reasonable, but for a good reason. Trust me, if you think this is going to be a delicious hotdog, you are going to be sorely, miserably disappointed.

Great food and awesome customer service! Loved the hot dogs! The soft pretzel was delicious! Cold drinks and reasonable prices for an airport. Highly recommend when coming to or from New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport!

I wanted to try a local place while in the airport so I tried Lucky Dogs. They have a cute little set up boasting that they have been a local favorite for decades. Perhaps I am just too accustomed to Chicago Style dogs but I just wasn’t a fan of my almost $18 hot dog and bottle of soda meal. It’s an airport location, so we all expect high prices however, it is still just a hot dog. The service was great and very personable. There are also other snack type items on the menu that would have been fun to try, but I would have been able to almost feed a family for the total price of adding more to my bill, so I stopped.

Never got the chance to eat here. We are here right now wanting to try. The guy was on his phone just talking and didn't acknowledge us. We went ahead and got our drinks and stood in front of the register. He then duct down behind the soda cooler while we a standing there. So my husband asked, if your to busy we can go somewhere else. HE SAID YES! and walked away. They need to change the name to Unlucky Dogs. We were here a little after 12:30 at MSY terminal C if your company needs video.

Gotta try this place! I waited to have my lucky dog before I left NOLA! Lucky Dog has been around since 1948 and I am proud to be one of the 21 million who have been served, more than once, one of these delicious dogs. If you happen to miss one in the city, see the sweet lady at the airport!

How do you ruin a hot dog with a choice of 3 condiments? Yes it's possible. The bun was so soggy, it was fused to the paper and foil. I guess hotdog university needs to offer classes on bun warmers and hotdogs drying

A fine place if you are at the airport and are craving a hot dog. But if you are trying to duplicate the experience you had at a Lucky Dogs cart in New Orleans, this ain't that.

It was ok. The hot dog was kind of cold. But they had Barq's red crème! That was all I needed! The service was good!

Of course I had to grab one before my departure. Nothing fancy. Just a plain dog with chili. Would've been better if they had an option to grill it. But it's a must since I was in NOLA.

There's a couple of these in the airport, I'm writing about the small kiosk in the Terminal C section by gate C7. Staffer was out of some food, but hot dogs and nachos she still had. Nachos had plenty of cheese put on them. And the hot dogs looked packed with the toppings. Bigger shop is closer to the A/B wing.

After arriving at the airport, I was seeking a quick bite, nothing too big and came across this hot dog joint. The menu is very limited, only having a few items (sausage, hot dogs, and nachos) and the toppings are very limited, just chili, cheese, and peppers. I ordered peppers, but they didn't have any. The regular size hot dog I got was a mess, as it was loaded with chili and cheese, which is what I wanted, but it's insanely messy. It tasted ok, nothing special. Very pricey though, like $14 for a hot dog and bottle of water.

Nothing fancy, just good quick food. [DOGS] Always In a great convenient location between lay overs.

It may look like just an airport hot dog, but apparently Lucky Dogs has been selling in New Orleans since 1948. And apparently they were involved in 1976 Supreme Court case (which they won) relating to an exclusive grandfathering to vend in the French Quarter when the city was cracking down on a lot of street vendors. I don't recall seeing any other food carts there this trip, except these hot dog shaped carts. Jumbo Dog w/ Chili, Onions and Mustard: Hit the spot for filling quick meal before a flight. The chili was especially nice. No beans about it, just little granules of meat and nice sauce. The mustard and raw onions were a perfect way to cut the richness of the chili and snappy dog.

Service and food was very terrible. While I was asking questions about the menu, the cashier, Antoinette, responded very nasty and sarcastic to me. The manager or co-worker had to intervene to clarify and de-escalate. I continued with my order despite the rough start. As my hot dog was being prepared, the worker drenched & soaked my hot dog in cheese with 3 pumps vs 1-2 standard pumps. Please consider other food options at the MSY airport and do not go here.

Kinda corny reviewing a Hot Dog kiosk while waiting for a flight at Gate 3, Terminal One, in beautiful Louis Armstrong Airport -- but Yelpers, the doggies were really good, and hit the spot. Talk about right place, right time, right food, grab-n-go, clean, fast, fresh, delicious, super friendly service, and Coke products. Everything a road warrior could ask for. Five Stars.

If I could give a lower review I would. The lady serving cared about nobody. I asked for a Lucky Dog and a drink. When she gave it to me I realized that she had not put any ketchup. I turned went back to the counter and asked for some. She starting waving her hands saying once I left she could not give me anything...that there were germs from all over the place that I could have just touched. She told me I ordered a plain hot dog...which I did not do. She knew it was me. I had just ordered. Nobody else was in line. She did not offer to give me a packet or put any in a cup. She cares about NOBODY. Which means LUCK DOG cares about NOBODY. There are better places at the MSY airport to eat. Try anything else other than this location. I also noticed on my receipt when I got home - Lucky Dog adds a "non cash adj" to the check. This is insane - this "germaphobe" can't dare hand me ketchup because I could have germs from all over...but it I do a contact payment...they service charge me for it. Again - when at the MSY airport - TRY ANYTHING ELSE...

I think the hot dogs are great, but what got me today was the pretzel. I walked by on the way to my flight and saw the glass case with big, soft, pretzels, lightly salted and shiny, hanging from the rack. I had to have one. And it did not disappoint. Perfectly soft, steaming, and a good contrast of salty and sweet, it was exactly what I wanted. Yes, get a hot dog. But don't forget the pretzels!!!

Writing a review for a fast food joint may not be as "earth shattering" as one for a 5 star restaurant, but Lynn C. deserves a shout out for her service late one Monday evening, when everyone else was trying to close. My husband had been craving a Lucky Dog with all the fixin's, and Lynn made this happen. Chips, drink, and off we went to enjoy this delicacy that is weirdly more appealing because it's a Lucky Dog. Try it and see if you can identify "the secret ingredient." I'll bet it's the pride with which these dogs are served.

This is a check box that must be filled when visiting Nola , especially if you have been poisoning your body with alcohol. Nothing like a Lucky Dog before hitting the hay.

This is more than just a hot dog stand. You can learn a lot about science here! I was stuck at the airport, and needed something to eat, so I got a giant hot dog from here. While I was waiting for the hot dog, the server informed me that COVID was man-made, initially spread by the head of the World Health Organization, and that COVID tests were inaccurate and came up positive for non-covid illnesses like the flu. This contradicts all the facts by every legitimate scientific organization in the world, but who am I to question the medical credentials of the hot dog lady? The hotdog was fine, but bland. It tasted like it was boiled. I'd prefer one that's grilled with a bit of flavor to it.

I was very happy to find this place open in the airport during my flight back to Arizona. I had actually attempted to go to one of their other locations in the city, but found it closed due to the quarantine in New Orleans. I'm always down to find new hot dog places. I do not eat them often, but enjoy trying new regional versions. These happen to be the Louisiana version of a street dog, not unlike those in NYC or Coney Island. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan. The portion size was huge, and totally worth the price. However, the dog itself had a bad flavor, and needed a lot of condiments to fix it up. I'm not sure if it was a bad batch or not. This place has some great customer service though. I was very impressed.

Stopped by the airport location before the flight home. Enjoyed this New Orleans classic.

I approached the counter. The woman was doing something. She looked up at me and continued to do what she was doing. Approximately 3mins later when she finally determined she was ready to help me, she looks up and says "hot dogs won't be ready for 30mins".

Friendly staff- They had officially closed for the evening but stayed open to provide hot dogs for people waiting to catch a plane. The ladies working had been there since 5:3O AM. Luckey Dogs the only place open in the whole of the New Orleans Airport.

First experience with lucky dogs and this place has phenomenal hot dogs. Would recommend 100%. Will eat here every time I'm in the New Orleans airport.

These ladies working tonight here are AMAZING!! With Southwest having delay after delay they were the only place open. Come to find out they stayed open just to make sure us weary travelers were fed. They stayed late and served us with a cheerful attitude! I would give them 10 stars if we could. Thank you for making the end of my trip so much better! Give these two ladies a raise!

HUGE shout out to Jaliyah and Nitzia!!! We arrived at the airport not long after dinner time, thinking we could get dinner with the extra time we had. EVERYTHING was closed. But... we passed by Lucky Dog, and something was up. All the lights are off behind the counter, but they are still serving hotdogs. So we got in line. I got up to the counter and, not wanting to impose, I asked if they were fixing to close because the lights were off. The SWEETEST lady told me they actually closed at 6:00, but, although they had been there ALL DAY LONG, nothing else was open, and people were looking for food, and she just couldn't turn them away. These ladies deserve a raise AND a promotion. AND they should get every dime of profit made after 6 PM, since none of it would've been there without those ladies. AMAZING WORK ETHIC!!! Oh, and the hot dogs were good. Lol Great job, ladies!!
