Quite Frankly

Checked these guys out at Blank Slate Brewery’s Opera Cream release party and wow!!! I’ve never been that big into hot dogs but the Pumba is amazing! Best hot dog I’ve ever had! Pulled pork, apple butter, pretzel bun, and even the hot dog alone was scrumptious! These guys were freezing their butts off outside in the rain and still service with a smile! Big fan for life right here! Pairs nicely with dark beer!

If a hotdog with unique toppings is what you’re after, look no further than Quite Frankly. They have all kinds of choices! I was curious about the hotdog with almond butter and jelly, but I ended up going with the Fräulein. This was a hotdog on a pretzel bun with apple butter, cabbage, and a little golden barbecue sauce. It was delicious! My only critique would be the bun was a little cold/​hard, but I’m sure that had to do with the fact that it was freezing outside the night we got food from here. If there was a way to keep the buns warm/​steamed so they were softer, this would have been a 5 star from me!

Quite Frankly was a breath of fresh air for me. I recently was diagnosed celiac and found that dairy had to be eliminated from my diet as well. As someone that loves food, beer, and trying new places, this was difficult. Quite Frankly was at Cincy Beer Fest and I was going to get just a hot dog with non-​dairy toppings, but after talking with the lovely folks that were staffing the booth, I found out the pretzel bun is gluten free (pretzel bun! GLUTEN FREE! WHAT!!) and they had non-​dairy cheese! They even let me know what hot dogs would be safe for me by substituting the pretzel bun bun if it didn’t have it. I got The Pumba (¼lb. beef frank, topped w/​savory pulled pork, homemade applebutter, tangy Carolina BBQ sauce and chopped onion) — it was out of this world! So, so good. You would never know the pretzel bun is gluten free, but it is and it’s delicious.
I was able to eat safely for a change and not get sick after. Definite recommendation from me if you can’t have gluten or dairy (or have a wheat or dairy allergy). I was surprised they don’t promote this, but just ask and they are happy to accommodate! Great folks!
If I ever see their truck or booth out and about, you better believe I will stop and get a meal!

Decent place to get a hot dog from. They have an interesting selection of toppings (some I might not think to put on a hot dog) and names to go along with them. I don’t remember the names of the ones I tried but I liked both, one more than the other. My favorite was the hot dog that came with sauerkraut and mustard on a pretzel bun. It was pretty standard street food hot dog style toppings but the sauerkraut was definitely better than usual and I do like pretzel buns a lot. The other one I tried had white bean chili and cheese on it and it was good but not great. I would eat them again if they were around and I was hungry but I don’t think I would seek them out or pick them over other food trucks. If you like hot dogs check them out for sure, definitely better than the standard. I’ll just admit that I’m not a huge hot dog fan.

Good hot dog friendly service. I had the twisted sister, it had white bean chili on it. It was unique and tasty. A little expensive for a hot dog at $ 6, but not awful considering it was a ¼ lb dog. I would go again if I see them around.

Quite Frankly has the best hot dogs in Cincinnati! There are many delicious and unique homemade toppings likely to please anyone’s palette!

Owners are great, very friendly folks. Delicious hotdogs and crazy toppings, I agree. Very different from what I’ve seen. Keep it up!

Great hotdog stand with fun topping combinations! Great, friendly people, too. Looking forward to trying more of their items.
