Famous Lunch - Troy (NY)

5 /5 Mark: Love this place. My grandma used to take me there when I was a kid. Ive 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 wasnt able to find parking went back a week later. I finally found parking on Saturday. Got my hot dogs

5 /5 Dean Fraser: 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 excellent food and service! Adding it as one of our staple stops when we’re in the area.

4 /5 Dzmitry Ryhal: Very cool to experience an old school hot dog shop. Hotdogs are pretty small, but not bad for the price to sit down at the diner style eatery while learning about its history. overall, a great experience and good bang for your buck! I recommend stopping by at least once to check it out.

3 /5 Antoni Duncovich: The food is subpar. It would definitely be a lot better if they would season their food even a little bit. Fries are very bland and soft theres hardly ever a crunch to them. Their sausage and peppers are decent but still could use seasoning, their meat sauce is not for me just not a fan of the taste. I will say their pancakes and French toast are good though. Home fries are bland though. Im not knocking the place just trying to figure out why its so popular
