Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace Opens This Week
After over a year of delays and setbacks, Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace is scheduled to officially open on Wednesday, July 1st at 4pm. Hot dog fans will be treated to a variety of menu choices with toppings ranging from Sriracha Slaw to Beef Brisket to Kim Chee to Indian Mango Chutney.
Drinks include Frostop Root Beer, Cherry and Lime Slushies, a variety of specialty draught beers and one-of-a-kind cocktails.
The interior of the restaurant has been completely revamped, and includes a bright red-and-yellow color palette. In the photos below, you can see that the walls are adorned with paintings by artist Thom Lessner.
We have PDF files of the menus posted up here: drink menu / food menu. Dirty Frank’s is located at 248 South Fourth Street and will be open every day of the week from 11am to 2am. More info will be online soon at DirtyFranksColumbus.com.

Heard that they had a line 20-deep out the door most of the evening for table seating, but the to-go orders were being filled in like 5 minutes. Off to a great start! Congrats again to Harold & Liz for getting the place open! :D

Love the Thin Lizzy painting, and I don’t really like the band!

Be warned everyone… Dirty opens at 4pm the whole first week I’ve been told. I went by today (Friday) for lunch as I’d been planning all week and WTF it was closed. What’s with a hot dog place only open for dinner?!? Anyway, the fries and po boy were great as usual at Flatiron Grill! I will be back to Dirty’s once the hours make sense.

I walked over today having thought they were open for lunch as well, very sad to find it closed. I take it they are eventually going to be open for lunch? (Little Palace was pretty disappointing - Gyro was pretty weak -(I know some folks who really like the place so I might have set my hopes a little high) - but at least there are some characters in there that are more interesting then Judge Judy blasting on the TV in the corner). Heres hoping for lunch at dirty franks soon.

It sounds like Dirty Franks should be open for lunch starting next Monday (the 13th).

bump for Liz - She just got a mention in the January 2010 issue of Food & Wine under the caption of Hot Dog Heroes!
