On our last night in town, we did something of a tour de late night munchies in the Quarter. As a Chicago gal, I'm quite fond of hot dogs so these carts caught our eye. They're even more minimal than I expected - serving only chili or no chili dogs with mustard and onions. I think he did have some ketchup too. Really not my thing, but I didn't wanna go plain so I just went all in. It was probably the worst walking food ever (such a mess), can't complain about the taste though. Pretty decent dog, chili was meh. Service was a little sketchy, but I feel like that's part of the experience lol. Not a must eat, but decent drunk snacks if you need it.

A lucky dog on the street 10/10 recommend. In casino absolutely not! They give lucky dog a bad reputation! Which i hate for the tourist. Bun was stale! Line was long! with one poor worker.

At 11 pm on Bourbon Street after traveling all day and just wanting something to eat, a Lucky Dog looks like a good idea...but I was SO wrong. The vendor was very amiable, and I have no complaints there at all. However, I got so...SO sick. I came very close to going to the ER. It has been years since something has made me that ill. Don't eat a Lucky Dog from the street vendors. It's really not lucky.

My husband and I just wanted a quick bite while we were walking over to bourbon street so decided to stop for a lucky dog. We paid 6.50 for the jumbo dog and I must say it was very tasty. Total for lunch came out to 15.00 which included two hot dogs and a coke. The gentleman that served us was so polite and offered us all the fixings for our dogs. The ambiance was great we were about o catch a few jazz singers in the square while we ate our dogs. If you're looking for just a quick bite stop over and grab yourself a lucky dog!

Yummy! I was so hungry and so happy to find them on Bourbon St! Good price for a big hotdog

Born and raised in New Orleans and have eaten Lucky Dogs since the 70s. Over the years 2 things have changed, price and size. Price is insane for a hot dog, and the size keeps getting bigger. I just want a hot dog, not a hot log!

Tried getting 2 hotdogs for a friend and I, hot dogs were cold and buns were cold. He asked If I wanted mustard and/or condiments. I said Yes. He literally put one line of mustard and he said, “tell me when.” I said, “just a bit more please.” He told me, “that’s gonna be an extra dollar “*N-word*.” Oof I was disgusted. I payed him for those 2 lack of a hot dog. That was disgusting and I mean the service and the food. Yuck

We have been dogs for years lol. I can say that they are a savior when its late and you need something for your stomach. Especially if you plan on continuing to party lol.
They handed me a hot dog and it accidentally fell onto the ground! So I left the stand with no food and no money back at all because the man handling the food insisted to the cashier not to! This happened a while ago but it still makes my blood boil till this day. I’ve dealt with a lot but whoever runs the one near Bourbon St. needs to reevaluate their position in customer service/satisfaction. If you decide to get something from here, make sure you hold onto your food very tight because they will NOT give you another serving and will ultimately steal your money, ruin your entire night/smirk at you while you’re distressed and confused. Weirdest experience of my life.

If you've had too much to drink, are running low on cash, and want some cheap food, these hot dogs aren't bad. They're not really good, but not bad. You'll find these carts at various street corners along Bourbon St. Just after sunset you'll start to see them here and there and they appear abandoned. After about 9pm, you'll start to see people buying hotdogs. As the night progresses, small lines will start to form. I haven't witnessed any of the horror stories I've seen in other reviews, but I don't doubt them either. You get what you pay for, so don't have high expectations.

Lucky Dogs are the best. If you are too stupid to look at the product before buying, so be it. When they are fresh, they are awesome. Unfortunately, the vendors can be suspect.

Hygiene is much better now. My husband LOVES Lucky Dogs. Order the larger dog. Years ago they used to have a lot more toppings and I miss them. The chili is very good and goes well with onions. Carts are all over the quarter EXCEPT on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Whomever manages this place needs to fired. Who only staffs one single employee literally during the lunch rush. Just terrible terrible judgment. Please replace the manager if you ever want to make any sort of money
