Finally was able to get into Dat Dog after attempting to make it happen for the last two trips down to New Orleans. I basically built my page early on just doing hot dog reviews so this one made too much sense to check out. I decided to check out the Rougarou and Chas got the Bacon Werewolf. We also each grabbed a frozen berry type margarita. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the open seating arrangement with coverage but the no walls to allow for airflow. Decorations were bright and fun and they were playing music like Alkaline Trio and other bands like that which I love, so that was a bonus as well.
The Frozen margarita beverage was delicious but I don't think I could handle the sweetness of more than one of them. Good berry flavor and you could definitely still tell there was the lime flavor of a margarita to this as well. The flavor of tequila was masked by the sweetness, which I actually didn't love but I'm sure most people would. I love tequila and like to taste it in my drinks.
The Rougarou is an Alligator sausage with grilled onion, Bacon, tomato, Jalapeno, Creole mustard, and BBQ sauce. There was a tiny bit of spiciness from the jalapeno and I'm guessing the sausage had a little spice to it as well. Nothing overbearing at all, just stating it for people who don't like ANY spice. This felt like it may have ended up being too much going on at once to enjoy it, but it was quite good. The flavors played off each other well and I enjoyed this a lot. I can't really speak to the Bacon Werewolf but I did try the bratwurst from it by itself and it had good flavor.
I would love to come back and try some more of the signature dogs and maybe build one of my own. Dat Dog in New Orleans, LA - Didn't Suck!

Read moreWe originally we're going to go to the Dat Dog on Frenchmen Street but everything was blocked off and traffic was diverted away from that area because they had a float procession getting ready for a Halloween parade. We had seen the awesome floats go by from our balcony on N. Rampart. So we decided to go to the one on Freret Street, because I had my two Chihuahuas with me and I knew they had a big outside covered area and we had three adults and the pups. The menu was different and the theme was cool. Two of them ordered some sort. Of hamburger and I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and - , surprise! They all came out on hot dog buns .. lol they had forgotten to dress them so our waiter took them back and quickly brought them back with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and cheese. I also split some chili cheese fries with one and the other ordered the fried chicken from the kids menu for the pups!! Also the waiter brought a bowl of waster ,( standard) for Bella and Bitsy.. we had a couple of beers, mine was Abita Bot, 6$... and the other a tall boy Miller High life 4$, and our designated driver ordered a Sprite I believe. The hamburger's where hilarious because they were rolled into a hot dog shape!! Everything was really good but the portions we felt were too small , especially for the price ! With the tip, I believe we spent around $75.00 and I believe the guys.left not quite full!!! Other than that, it was a fun outing for us to bring the pooches and try out a...
Read moreSo, I stumbled upon this mystical masterpiece at Dat Dog, and let me tell you, calling it a hot dog is like calling the Mona Lisa a doodle. It's not just a snack; it's a transcendental experience.
First off, the Bacon Werewolf. It's like the Casanova of hot dogs. When you take a bite, it's like a werewolf transforming under the full moon, but instead of fur, it's a symphony of flavors erupting in your mouth. I mean, forget silver bullets; this hot dog would be a werewolf's weakness.
The bun, my friends, is the cozy blanket that wraps around the juicy sausage like a werewolf in a cozy onesie. And don't even get me started on the toppings. They're like the accessories a werewolf would wear to a glamorous full-moon soirée.
Now, the sausage. It's so succulent; it's like the werewolf got a spa treatment before the full moon party. I swear, if werewolves had culinary preferences, this would be their go-to. This hot dog is so good; even Dracula would take a break from blood-sucking to have a nibble. This glizzy is BUSSIN.
But here's the twist – I'm pretty sure the Werewolf has some magical properties. After devouring it, I felt like I could howl at the moon with newfound gusto. My friends thought I was nuts, but little do they know; it's the Bacon Werewolf's secret power.
In conclusion, the Bacon Werewolf at Dat Dog is not just a hot dog; it's a...
