The Infatuation's late-night NYC dining guide reports that despite drawing 'a mass of people' on busy nights, diners should 'join the line anyway,' signaling the wait is a known, tolerated part of the experience rather than a dealbreaker.
The guide notes Crif Dogs stays open until 2am or 3am depending on the night, so crowding is tied to the late-night East Village bar scene rather than a single dinner rush, per The Infatuation.
