HANK'S HAUTE DOGS

HANK'S HAUTE DOGS
324 Coral Street
Honolulu, HI

After reading many favorable reviews about Hank's Haute Dogs, we set out to find this small hot dog shop located off Ala Moana Blvd on Coral Street.  Hank's is a simple place with limited inside seating along the walls.  There are however three tables outside where you can enjoy your dogs.
There are some unique dogs on the menu; Portuguese Sausage, Andouille, Chorizo, Chicken, Bratwurst, Polish and Chili to name a few.  Prices for these run $5.50 to $6.25.  We opted to go with the flagship "Chicago Dog" which is the genuine Chicago Vienna all beef dog with a nice snap to it.  The dog includes mustard, onion, green relish, tomato slices, dill pickle, celery salt and sport hot peppers.  At $4.75 I thought it was a bit expensive.  The dog had good flavor but was not anything real special.  When you can get a Costco dog which is twice the size and really good, I can't see paying $4.75 for this dog.  We ordered a children's dog for Keli.  This is a kid sized dog for $3.00.  Again, why would you pay $3.00 for a dog when you can get the Costco dog for $1.50 and it includes a drink.  Hank's has some great daily specials which we will certainly try on future visits.  They include; Duck & Foie Gras, Alligator, Rabbit, Buffalo, Lobster and Kobe Beef dogs.   These special dogs go for $7.50 to $10.50.  We also tried Hank's Awesome French Fries (menu description) for $2.50.  These are twice cooked Castle Rock potatoes that are thin and crispy.  Loved them.  Especially the burnt ones.
