    Still getting the bad taste just talking about it,I hope you turn it around

    I have frequented this place for years and now I don't work close. I still managed to stop by and get a large order to go, to share with family and friend. I am absolutely shocked what has transpired since I last visited, the service is always top notch. The ambiance hasn't change. But what about the food??!! It absolutely is terrible What the. heck? not enough sauce on michigans, I checked the sauce burgers and the bun was soaking wet. all four were the same. plain dogs explained a lot where did this thing come from I couldn't share it with anyone and I have $52 worth of food, $60 with tip sitting in my fridge.New owners? can't figure it out.

    Everything I ordered was fantastic and decently priced. - The red hot (Michigan dog): this thing holds together! No fork and knife needed, I ate it like a hot dog and not a single ounce of sauce dropped. The texture was very nice, flavors well balanced, not overly salty. I was disappointed by the red hot the first time I tried it at another well known joint but this one got me sold - The "poutine" (actually called fries with gravy and cheese): amazing homemade fries - tastes fresh, sweet, not overly fried, almost the french-fries equivalent of al dente. Those hot fries go really well with the gravy. Cheese didn't really add any value - Steak sandwich: the pieces also held together strong, except this one was dripping. The meat was really really tender, almost melt in my mouth, cheese and bread made the "soft" texture experience complete. I kinda wish there was more meat - bread to meat ratio was a lot but doesn't take away from a great creation - Cheeseburger: yep that's real ground beef right there. You choose how it's cooked. I got medium, being warned that it was going to be very pink, and so it was. That giant piece of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes though were a bit too much for the thin patty, so I'd opt instead for a not deluxe burger or get the double. - Blueberry pie: don't think I ever tried homemade blueberry pie. It was good. Man overall every item was great, the service was excellent and quick, the price was good. Total bill: $20. This is one of my Plattsburgh top 3 now. Cash only.

    Steamed hot dogs covered in meat sauce topped with chopped white onions all for about $2.00? That's a solid in my book. I'll back up a bit. I guess this is a thing in North country, specifically Plattsburgh. I live by the motto when in Rome, so I had to partake. It wasn't the best dog I've ever had. It was freshly steamed and topped with a meat sauce/gravy and fresh chopped onions on a soft bun. I think the meat sauce could of had a bit more depth, it lacked. I know, I know, a $2 hot dog meat sauce lacking depth? Really? You probably want to punch me in the face at this point, I don't blame you. This real casual diner seems to be a popular local 'red hot' spot. It's definitely worth checking it out if you're around these parts and looking for a quick, cheap bite and wanting to take part in some local culture!

    My husband proposed here 4 years ago, so we return each summer out of nostalgia. Good thing the food is consistently tasty! I've tried a few different things on the menu over the years, but always go back to the basics. A Michigan with buried onions. (As another Yelper so astutely put it: "It's a chili dog." Yes, it's right on their sign!) Also try the homemade (not crinkle cut, frozen, bagged, school cafeteria potatoes, because they do give you an option!) with gravy. Don't think. Just do.

    Always fast service, fresh made-to-order food, and delicious desserts. Only giving 4 stars because the prices are pretty high.

    Great service and local dawgs at a reasonable price. Nor familiar with the area, or Red Hots I gave it a shot.

    Quick friendly service and good red hots! The prices here are very reasonable. Come here instead of going to the nearby national chain.

    McSweeney's rocks. It's the place every relative asks to eat when they visit town. It's nostalgia in a paper dish.

    We were really happy when we stumbled upon this place! We were originally going to stop at another…read morespot ( patate frit) but it had closed on October 16, so we Yelped around and found this gem. We decided to come after a long drive since it was Halloween. When we walked in, the staff were dressed up, which was super cute. They even offered us candy I took a KitKat and my boyfriend grabbed a Coffee Crisp, lol. There was an older couple nearby having fish and chips, and it smelled amazing. We decided to go classic: a small poutine, hot dog, and hamburger with a drink. Our total came to around $35-$38, which might sound a bit high but honestly, I'm used to those prices and it was totally worth it. I loved how fresh their cheese was SQUEAKYYYY I'm pretty sure it comes straight from a local farm. The fries were perfectly crispy, the coleslaw was finely shredded, and the hot dog had that soft, fluffy bun that's just right. The hamburger had that smashed-style feel thin, juicy, with just mustard, onions, and cabbage instead of a pile of toppings.
