★★★☆☆ 3.0 howie felterbush · Feb 2026

Meh… -Onion rings, overcooked. Zero salt. Super thin & mostly breading. -Hotdogs- skinless lukewarm, canned baked beans microwaved, no seasoning, bland coleslaw (I added black pepper in pic), lacked acidity, no celery salt, . Meat sauce, no beef flavor, very dry. Think Stewart’s gas station at the end of the day. -Service, No napkins, dirty dishes next to me on the counter the entire time, staff more interested in chatting and hanging out with each other.

Fantastic local place. Very friendly service, extremely fair pricing, good portions and good quality. What more do you want? Stopped in for breakfast and had the cajun omelette, I always like to try new things offered at local places. Had good flavor and was very tasty. This place is like going back in time to the 1970’s where it’s a plane jane restaurant built on simple values of quality, value, and service. From the outside it is very unassuming and probably easy to drive by and miss. But it is a ‘hidden gem’ I can tell that all the locals probably have been going to for years. Thank you will certainly be back!

I’ve been coming here for about 12 years the onion rings I really great. I feel like they have the best hotdog in the 518 meat sauce is really good. The breakfast is always good and the service and people that work. There are all nice and respectful.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Joseph Stacey · Jan 2025

The hot dogs with meat, onions, and mustard are almost a landmark in Schenectady. My wife remembers eating them as a small child. The clam fry and burgers and fries were good. The service was fast and everything was hot when it was delivered. The onion rings were disappointing, most were broke and stringy, there were only a few that were whole. Good portions for the price. This is a neighborhood favorite obviously as the servers and customers often knew one another and talked.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jaden Samuels · Feb 2026

For the price, this place is hard to beat. The food is fresh, delicious, and always hits the spot. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.
