The menu somebody had posted on here was a bit out of date from 2016. So I posted an updated menu with prices. I haven't gotten to the chili cheese hot dog yet I always eat the fries first but they're delicious plain. I'll probably update with more pictures when I get around to it. *Edit well I got around to eating the chili cheese dog, it was Delicious as it always is from here. Little side note I've been here before, but I moved across the city and it's been a while so I thought I'd check it out and make sure it's still as good as it used to be and it is. Definitely a good bang for the buck. $6 for fries and a chili cheese dog, well worth it

So delicious that I forgot to take a photo before digging in. Menu is huge and food is cheap. The fries are my favorite that any resturant ever makes. Tucson classic for a reason.

Pats is a Tucson landmark. I'd been hearing how theirs are the best dogs in town. The chili tasted like a can of tomato beans and a spoonful of chopped white onion. There was no spices, no cumin or chili powder of any sort. My friend had the hot chil8 and it was actually so spicy that she couldn't taste an6thing else. This woman is a Latina, she knows spicy! It was too hot for her. The fries were a lot! Dont expect crispy fries. They are fresh cut.

Took my son here the other day. He loves his chili dogs. I had the Pat's burger and he had the chili dogs. Said they are the best in town. It was our first time there. The customer service was great. They explained everything perfectly. Eating here is like stepping back in time. If your looking for something nostalgic. This is the place to go.

First time I’ve had a chili dog in a while, and it was delicious. I wasn’t expecting beans in the chili, but it was still good. Fries on the side were tasty as well.

Great food, sketchy location. Told the cashier to give me what the locals eat, and I was given a chili dog (I chose the spicy chili over the regular) and fries. Both were pretty good. There is no indoor seating and only four small tables outside. The majority of the people I saw get food ordered it Togo.

Great spot for some chili dogs. Order at the window and take your food to go or eat at one of the outdoor tables or in your car. The French fry portions are insanely large. You can’t go wrong with hot or mild chili dogs as both are delicious.
