Reids - Lockport (NY)

5 /5 David Simkins: Love the White hot and the Red hot. Amazing flavors that you dont often get. Plenty of other great things on the menu and ice cream for dessert. There are plenty of picnic tables and some indoor seating too.

2 /5 Scott Long: I only died here because of the people I was with wanted to come. As someone who does not eat meat there are really not very many options for me at Reids. Im all for supporting local businesses and I do enjoy their ice cream. I do not recommend their grilled cheese, it was a small and sad sandwich made with two burger buns and some American cheese. It was also dry and everybody knows a good grilled cheese should have melt in your mouth buttery grilled bread. So many establishments do not have vegetarian and vegan options. Ive been to several burger places that offer plant-based options but sadly this is not one of them.

5 /5 Steve Host: My goodness. I used to drive by after eating lunch on the way through over the last 15 years seeing the lineups of people and thought I need to eat here. Why did I just eat chain fast food. So I finally came and made a point of visiting. I dont know what to try so I asked 4 people what to get and the consensus came quick: a double cheeseburger smothered with sauce and onion rings , loganberry drink and raspberry milkshake, $13. What a meal. Best quick service meal Ive had in a very long time. Maybe best Ive ever had. Great job and now I know why this place is usually lined up most of the day. Greetings from Canada.

5 /5 Barre Flynn: I have been going to Reids since 1955..ok I am old. Growing up I loved the White Hots with sauce and fries. When I was 18 I went to college and came back summers and indulged in my favorite dogs. My mom lived nearby, so visits to her included visits to Reids. Then my mom moved away in 2011 and that was it. However I got the cravings. Earlier this month my mom passed at 102. This meant a trip to Lockport from NYC for the Burial. So I strategized the trip with White Hot Dogs in mind. When we arrived in Lockport we headed straight for Reids. When I turned onto Lockport Olcott road nearing Reids my mouth watered. It was a beautiful March day, 2025, I ordered my 2 white hots with sauce. I bought my Daughter in Law one as she had never experienced this. They were exactly the way they were years and years ago. So amazing. This is one of the treasures in American that we never forget. I will be back someday....

5 /5 Steve Armendinger: Reids is a classic roadside hots stand that has been around for over 75 years. When I say roadside, I mean that literally. You are standing on the sidewalk when you order. The prices are very very reasonable and the quality is great. Its close proximity to the Erie Canal trail makes it a perfect stop on a long bike ride.
