The Original Hot Dog Factory and Spice Wing Phoenix — Restaurant in Phoenix

This was my first time visiting this place, so I was excited. The menu was very big looked exciting. However, it ended up being an extreme disappointment. The people were nice. The restaurant was clean, but the food was not good. First, I paid for nacho cheese on the side for my fries and they never put it in my bag. Second, I ordered a wing combo with habanero sauce and the wings and the sauce were bland as hell. The wings were over sauced, I mean there was like a puddle of sauce that my wings were just sitting in, the wings were not crispy at all. They may have been baked. I don’t even know if they were baked. They were had the weirdest texture almost close to soggy. The wings didn’t even have any color on them so even when you look at them in the pictures, they’re really white looking. The only thing making the wings look brown is the habanero sauce that they’re smothered in. It was the weirdest thing almost thought they were undercooked, but they were cooked. My suggestion is learn how to toss the wings properly to sauce and learn how to really fry the wings or get the wings air fried something because I can air fry wings and they have crispy skin. The skin was not crispy whatsoever. It was the weirdest texture. Finally, the deep fried Oreos as you can see in the picture of the batter is just not right. Something is wrong with the batter (former baker) and it didn’t taste good at all because of the way the batter looked. This is all basic stuff when it comes to cooking, so it’s really interesting that these basic steps are being missed at a restaurant. I’m a big fan of if you can’t cook it right don’t offer it. You can Google funnel cake batter deep fried Oreos, and find a good batter for deep fried Oreos. I make them all the time and I’ve never seen them look like this. This means the batter is off. To serve stuff like that is just not good and then to ask me to do a review just kind of baffled it to me. It means that they’re clearly not focused on quality because I would not ask somebody to do a feedback or a review with my food is not good. The only people I can see like in this is people who don’t season their food. I was really excited to try this place and to even come back because they had hotdogs and everything else, but now that I know the quality of the food isn’t good. There’s no way I can spend more money. The only good thing in my order was my fries which again they left the sauce out that I paid for so I couldn’t even enjoy those fully. This was a complete waste of money. I should’ve just went to Port Of subs at then I could’ve...

I'm staying at the nearby hotel this week and have already eaten here twice! YUM! Mind you, there are at least 5 other places to choose from, and I don't regret my choice to eat here twice. The first time I had honey BBQ wings. These wings are nice and juicy and a good size. I got a 10 piece and made half my lunch the next day (also delicious cold, I love cold wings). The second time I had the Hawaiian dog combo meal. Very tasty. Good balance of the toppings with savory and sweet. The hot dog was a little pricey in my opinion, but still very good. The restaurant is very clean, lively music playing, and both times the employees were very friendly and helped pick my options. I am here for another week and I might go back to try the Korean bbq (employee recommendation) and another sauce because I can't imagine them having a bad one! I would definitely recommend. Edited to add: I went back 😁 this time teriyaki instead of the Korean...

Great customer service. Very friendly staff that is engaging and welcoming. I ordered the Detroit coney with onion rings and 6 piece Citrus chipotle wings. The coney and onion rings had a great flavor and was consistent with what you would expect to find in Detroit. The wings are cooked correctly, they stayed tender and still had a great crunch on the skin even after tossed in sauce. While waiting for my order I was able to choose from a decent selection of beers on tap or if you prefer a margarita you can have your choice of classic or strawberry.

Thank you for the hospitality! I will be returning to your location anytime I’m...
