Universal Orlando’s CityWalk is home to so many amazing dining options, and the list is about to get even more star-studded. Country singer Luke Combs announced a new CityWalk location for his bar chain Category 10, and now, a former NSYNC member announced a new restaurant in CityWalk.
Joey Fatone of NSYNC owns Fat One’s Hot Dogs and Italian Ice. Their flagship location in the Florida Mall closed earlier this year to relocate to Universal CityWalk, and now we finally have an opening date!
Fat One’s Hot Dogs and Italian Ice is a quick-service chain by Joey Fatone of NSYNC and his manager Joe Mulvihill. The CityWalk location was announced this May, and it will officially open on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at 10 AM. The menu includes signature hot dogs, loaded pop fries, Italian ice, and draft beer. Here’s the super sentimental announcement video with the duo:
The first 100 guests on Saturday will receive a wristband for one free hot dog served personally by Joey Fatone, followed by a limited-time photo opportunity. Wristbands are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so get there early! Joey will also stick around for photos for a limited time.
The restaurant replaces the former Hot Dog Hall of Fame location, which closed on July 19th, 2026. Hog Dog Hall of Fame offered some unique hot dogs like this Poutine Dog, and Fat One’s offers some unique hot dogs, too. You can grab Brazilian, Korean, and Cuban-inspired hot dogs starting at $10.49.
