Famous Lunch

Classic eatery. Affordable prices. Tasty made to order options. Worth a trip if youre new to the area or there on business. CASH ONLY

Excellent old school, cash-only, place for breakfast or lunch. Stopped in for the famous mini hot dogs and was not disappointed! They were smaller than expected but the perfect snack size. The sauce on them is perfect. The gentlemen at the counter was very friendly and we received our food very quickly. Affordably prices.

Love this place. My grandma used to take me there when I was a kid. I've moved farther away now but I still go back every chance I get. I drive no matter how long it takes to get them. Little hot dogs and rice pudding when I talk about parking it can be very challenging to find parking. I went down to Albany and stopped by Troy to get the hot dogs on a Friday and I wasn't able to find parking went back a week later. I finally found parking on Saturday. Got my hot dogs

Update – 7/24/25: Went back with my family today, and it’s not often I can say that expectations were exceeded the second time around. The guy taking orders memorizes everything and relays it to the kitchen flawlessly. Everyone there—staff and patrons alike—is genuinely friendly. We had three kids with us (not exactly the quietest crew), and no one batted an eye. It’s truly a family joint, and I’m grateful to experience a slice of the Troy my grandmother was born and raised in. The food is amazing—especially the dogs and fries. The hot dogs are just right, and the French fries are hand-cut, served piping hot, and perfectly crisp. To top it all off, everything is affordable, which makes it even easier to come back again and again. Original review: Really really enjoyed this place excellen
