Reviews

the quissential famous landmark in Plattsburgh, NY. Better than McSweeney's and Gus's

I have been craving a good hot dog for a while and man did this place not disappoint. Small menu means they know what they are doing! We tried the Michigan and Chicago... Sooooo good (especially the Michigan!) Cash only, small eating space outside and inside as well. The perfect place to stop after a day at the beach! All the people working were very friendly, great service!

Staff was super great and under standing. The Michigan is where it's at... A lil spice but super tasty... The poutine was amazing and the tenders were crunchy and perfectly golden. If ever you wanna stop somewhere for lunch and are in the area it's super worth it. Price was on point and the wait was short but not to crowded.

Such an awesome hot dog stand. I tried the Michigan dog, the Chicago dog, and the poutine and they were all delicious. And at about $3 for a hot dog, you can't beat it. The food came out quickly and the staff were all super friendly. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

GREAT local experience!! These local ‘Michigan Hot Dogs’ are awesome! This roadside gem is a must stop anytime I am in town.

Clare and Carl's is a must if you're in the Plattsburgh area! The food is tasty, the prices are right, and the vibe is pure nostalgia! How often do you eat in a restaurant that its back end is sinking into the ground? We saw people with trays attached to their car doors eating their food that way, and others eating at picnic tables, but we recommend eating inside so you can properly soak up the quirky ambiance. Go get yourself a Michigan and some poutine. Yum!!

This place is super cool! They bring the food out to your car, you don’t even have to move! My only complaint is the burger is a little small, and same with the fries. But it’s incredibly cheap and incredibly good tasting. Would definitely recommend this place over Gus’ red Hots or Michigan's plus. Great food!!!!

Ben

Pretty cool little place! Unfortunately, if you want service at your vehicle (and don’t know the menu), they tell you to go on FB. (Which I don’t have, but was able to get pics of the menu inside). The waitresses were pretty nice and there was a place to eat outside (and limited seating inside). Visit if you like fries and hotdogs
