★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mati Duarte · Sep 2023

So the place is actually located at a food court inside the mall and I’ll be honest, the food was really mid, and it was really expensive too. A chilli dog was literally like 8 bucks. Just a regular hot dog. The Philly cheesesteak was also literally just bread and beef in it, it kind of all just tasted like a mush and the cheese fries were- well they were fries with cheese. The costumer service was alright. A lady took our order by accident and the staff remade it for us. The atmosphere was rather congested but that’s because there were a lot of people around I guess. I wouldn’t eat there again, just honestly not my kind of food.

Really impressed with the service. Price was realistic. First time trying this fare having come from Australia. Would probably get used to the steak being ground, over time. All in all a pleasant lunch.

very expensive, staff, very friendly at all. you ask for a cabbage salad, you will see the photos. I totally advise against it, it is not good. Try it especially very expensive. The worst is that when Americans come to Paris, they have the nerve to say that Paris is expensive.

Not worth a penny! Not good! We ordered cheese steak and never had this taste before. Very hard to chew. Very cold, the steak smells bad! Very dry! Also ordered bacon cheese fries That was cold too!!! Please go somewhere else and spend money for food 😵‍💫

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Helen V · Aug 2019

It was my first time in Nathan's Famous, but the food was so bland and dull that I'm not even sure that I like Nathan's. Have eaten so much better hot dogs. The fries tasted like frozen food. All in all it wasn't a good experience.
