I grew up in the small town of Clyde and recently visited my home town. One of the nostalgic…read morememories that I had was going to the Lil Red Caboose with my parents when I was young and getting some food from here! Lil Red Caboose is one of the few lunch/dinner spots in the small town of Clyde, New York. It's located on a corner street, on the way to Sodus Point. It's a outside seating, small stand. The Lil Red Caboose offers a variety of different meals such as Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Sausages, Mozzarella sticks, and of course, the Zwiegles Pop-open Hot-Dogs! I stopped by and picked up a meal I remembered having when I was younger, fried mozzarella sticks and a Red Zwiegles Pop-open Hot Dog. I picked up a order number and took a sit in their outside tables. The ambiance was so relaxing, surrounded by greenery with the sound of nature. The meal was out in about 15 minutes. There was [5] Mozzarella Sticks, thick and filled with cheese. It came hot off the deep fryer and the Zwiegles red-hot dog was cooked to perfection, not too burnt with just a slight crisp to it. The food was delicious! With the Zwiegles, typically you fill up the pop-open hot dogs with onions and peppers to enhance the flavor. Sauces were on the house. The meal came out to be $5.50, quite reasonably for the quality and quantity for food!

They serve classic all beef, grilled, hot dogs with any of the following items kosher New York City sauerkraut, freshly grilled onions and peppers, spicy pepper relish, onions, classic pickle relish, Nancy's mustard, and of course ketchup and yellow mustard. They even have veal dogs, Italian pork sausages, and chicken spiedies (grilled chicken cubes in a hotdog bun -- spiedies are an upstate NY invention). I have tried all of these options and they are all fantastic, but I am a purest and love the kosher all beef dog with grilled peppers and a touch of sauerkraut the best. You can also purchase frito-lay bags of chips and bottled/canned drinks. He uses local wieners ...tee hee....from Hofmann's franks based out of Syracuse New York. Lou notes that he thinks that "central New Yorkers prefer the grilled flavor to the classic New York city steamed or boiled hot dogs." This is why he switched to a gas powered grill in 2001. I can't agree more, I love the grill. Lou is super friendly, and he'll chat with you as he prepares your dogs. Its $2 per hot dog. One dog is a great snack, 2 dogs or 1 chicken spiedie is a great meal. I never "plan" to eat here as the hours are dependent on the wether, I usually see them while walking around the commons and can't resist.

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. The food is fantastic. The prices ($3 for sausage with…read morepeppers and onions?!?!) are incredible, and Lou is an extremely nice guy.

It's funny how you miss a crock and paint stirrer full of mustard in the old days. White birch beer and Byrne Dairy Chocolate Milk all had been missed. I would hate to see this place ever fold. I don't think it will.

Oh my goodness--the nostalgia! I haven't been to Heid's in probably 15-20 years. Growing up, Heid's…read morewas such a summer staple, so now that I've moved back home, it only felt right to make my way here. Heid's has that old-school, cafeteria-style setup where you go down the line to get your food. It's simple, classic, and honestly gives me Happy Days vibes. The menu is straight comfort food--hot dogs, chicken tenders, Philly cheesesteaks, sausages with peppers and onions, and more. They also have deserts like brownies, cookies & chocolate cake. They do server beer and have lots of fountain drink options as well. I got a Gianelli sausage with cheese fries and chili. Ummm --it was so good. The fries could've used just a little more salt and pepper, but that sausage hit the spot. My mom got a sausage with cheese fries and macaroni salad and loved it. No complaints here! Next door is Sweet Treats, their ice cream stand, and it's the perfect way to end your meal. They've got soft serve, hard ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies, flurries--you name it. My mom got a raspberry-lime sherbet twist, and I went all in with cookie dough chocolate chip ice cream mixed with vanilla, topped with whipped cream and caramel syrup. So refreshing and delicious. If you are ever in the Syracuse/Liverpool area, I definitely recommend trying Heid's at least 3 times in your life. It's affordable, family-friendly, and full of nostalgia. They also have live bands on Wednesdays, car shows, outdoor seating, and community events for kids throughout the year. Definitely tastes exactly the way I remember. If you do decide to try out Heid's, leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it!

I live down here in Orlando, Florida and Hofmann hot dogs are available at Publix and I have seen them at Aldi, as well. My favorite of their hot dog offerings is their Hofmann Natural Casing German Brand Franks. They have a great flavor, mild but well rounded. The natural casing gives the hot dog a good snap as you bite into it. Hofmann makes a great hot dog and this hot dog is a German style pork and beef frankfurter. Price is about along the line with other decent quality hot dogs. They also go on sale at a BOGO (buy one, get one free) on a somewhat regular basis. Not too often, but often enough. Hofmann hot dogs are extremely popular up in upstate New York around the Syracuse, New York area. Again, they are a quality hot dog and once you try them, I think you will like them. I opt to give Hofmann five stars (), Hofmann makes a great hot dog with a focus on flavor and quality. Check them out, I think you will enjoy them Hence the reason for the five stars (). Give them a try.

Yes, I know we all love Hoffmann and it is sacrilegious to say other wise. But here me out. Owner Tim makes all his menu items from scratch! His hotdogs, sausage patties, and sausage links! Oh, his condiments are all his creation as well. Ketchup , mustard, and relish all made from scratch by Tim! I asked Tim what he recommended I try on my first visit. He said definitely the chili dog. I was glad I did! Tim has a mixture of brisket and pork that he grinds, puts in a casing and then smokes. He than warms it back up on a flat top griddle at the stand. You definitely taste all the flavors that went into creating this dog! Thoughts after the first bite? Meaty and smoke! It's definitely one of a kind when you think of a hotdog. You definitely get that meat flavor with a hint of smokiness. The chili is meat based and sweet which blends in beautifully with the dog. The homemade mustered added a spice with a small kick. Complimenting the spice was the ketchup with hints of brown sugar sweetness and vinegar. Tim was a pretty cool guy to meet. Proud of his food and pretty chill wearing tie-dye and listening to some Dead tunes. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some more of his home creations such as his shaved ribeye sandwich and sausage with peppers and onions. We can still throw our beloved Hoffmanns on the grill but for something a bit different stop over and try this delicious hotdog as well! You can find him in Abbott's parking lot Tuesdays - Fridays starting at 11:00am to 2:30pm.

Good heat from the well seasoned sausage was amplified by a nice kick from the mustard. The peppers and onions were nice additions but I think next time I'll just enjoy the sausage and mustard by themselves. The dog was just a Hoffman's fried up on the griddle. Totally fine. Especially compared price wise with local competition. Totalled 8 bucks for an excellent lunch. My mouth is watering writing this review-the sausage is that good.
