Franks-A-Lot is a restaurant in the Whole Foods parking lot on East Burnside Street in the Kerns neighborhood. Housed in a small A-frame cottage, the restaurant has "always focused on quick, take-away, drive-thru dogs", according to Thrillist.[2]
In 2022, Nathan Williams of Eater Portland described the cottage as "faux-Bavarian" and said the business serves "jumbo-sized" hot dogs and hand-made milkshakes. There are seven outdoor tables for seating, only one of which is covered, as of 2022.[1]
Menu
The menu has included the Great American Frank, the Long Wiener Frank (a longer version of a standard hot dog), and Chicago-style hot dogs with or without toppings, as well as German sausages, polish hot dogs, and vegetable franks.[3] The Jumbo American has sweet-hot mustard, jalapeños, and sauerkraut.[4] There are vegan options as well.[5]
In 2014, Samantha Bakall of The Oregonian said the restaurant "has the vibe of a Chicago joint" and described the Chicago-style hot dog as an "all-beef frank topped with yellow mustard, relish, cucumbers, red onions, sport peppers, fresh tomato slices and celery salt".[6]
History
The restaurant was previously known as The Dog House.[2]
Reception
Douglas Perry included Franks-A-Lot in The Oregonian's 2008 overview of Portland's best hot dogs.[3] Drew Tyson included the business in Thrillist's 2015 list of Portland's twelve best hot dog eateries and recommended the Long Wiener Frank.[7] Franks-A-Lot had a rating of four stars based on 124 Yelp reviews, as of 2019.[8] Eater Portland's Nathan Williams included the restaurant in a 2022 list of seventeen "places serving Portland's finest hot dogs" and 2023 list of the city's "snappiest, juiciest" hot dogs.[1][9]
