BOTTOM LINE: A pricey sausage fest of mediocrity.
Fancy Franks just didn't do it for me. I love their external mural and the overall design of the shop - their vintage photos of ladies and their oral fixations is not at all suggestive. ;) They have a great variety of dogs topped with some creative toppings...but the extras add up quickly. It's a dollar for a sausage upgrade and about $3-4 to make it a combo with fries and a soda. But when it comes down to it, I just can't seem appreciate their fancy dogs more than I can street meat.
I ordered their SOUTHERN FANCY and upgraded it with the SPICY SAUSAGE. It comes with a good helping of pulled pork (nice charred taste to it) and pickled red cabbage. Others have complained about their buns, but I love their big buns (and I cannot lie)...it's actually necessary to hold their toppings together! The sausage was nice and juicy (though it's hard to mess up pork and fat essentially) with a good kick to it. Overall, while their product is pretty solid, their pricing is outside my impulsive purchase range.
