McSweeney’s Red Hots

I only visit Plattsburg NY ever couple of years and all ways need to get my fix on a Michigan dog (aka red hots). and being that my favor place had all ready closed for the season (Claire and Carl’s just across the street) we came here. All though the Michigan sauce was good. I feel they where skimpy on the sauce. (after all that’s what make the dog) Our table server (didn’t know her name) said she could get us a side of it and she came back with a one once cup, less then half full. The 4 of us at the table could not stop laughing. Over all i would have been better off ordering another dog its only a couple of $‘s. now i didn’t expect it for free but i sure was surprised it cost 95 cents.
Well i guess i should have asked, but then again i thought restaurant want to shine and impress.
oh i keep on forgetting i am in small town Plattsburg. they don’t need the business. Any ways i will pass on this place in the future.

Hey, looks like I’m the first to review this location, so I’m glad I liked it. This is my second annual visit to Plattsburgh to visit one of my brothers-​in-​law who lives on Lake Champlain at the south end of the city. Last year I tried Clare & Carl’s and Gus’s versions of the local hot dogs which are called either Michigan’s or Red Hots.
McSweeney’s is superior in two ways: 1. The quality of the hot dog, which has a more firm texture and spice than the others; 2. The sauce, which is richer and meatier. The sauce is also spicy, maybe too much so for some palates. Little ones with sensitive tongues may think it has too much heat, but I think it’s worth a shot.
The restaurant is immaculate and there are probably 12 — 14 picnic tables outside. The building is back far enough from busy Route 9 that traffic isn’t a factor. Service was great. I rode up on my bike and a waitress actually came outside to take my order and offered me a glass of ice water before I even got my helmet off.
McSweeney’s does an excellent job with a classic regional hot dog. Go there if you can.
