In the capital district mini hot dog game, Charlie’s is the spot.
Natural casing mini dogs, meat sauce that’s seasoned well. (Not tomato forward like Gus’)
Plus a spicy option on the sauce if you’d like.
Fries seasoned properly.

Visited some friends in the area and we walked over to this place.
So so good wow.
Prices are super reasonable, food is excellent and just a great old school vibe.
Wish this place was closer to me, but my wallet is glad it isn’t

Depends on your taste buds but every time I’m in the area I stop by Hot Dog Charlie’s and show whoever im with what’s its all about.

They need to hire more than 2 ladies to work at a time if they’re going to be doing online orders. Be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes or more if you walk in while they take care of Uber eats first.

Edit . .. I stopped by the store that just reopened in Cohoes to take a couple photos ..added…. they have not completed the outside yet. .. It was too early for it to be open. Maybe another time. A couple photos got deleted . Oh well. It was sad to read the bad reviews. There were many good ones . I have been going to Hot Dod Charlie’s since I was a kid many years ago. I actually met Charlie back then. And talked to him many times at the Albany store. Also knew his brother Johnnie who actually opened his own hot dog place. My father knew him well. I used to stop by the store in Cohoes before the fire . I did stop in the Lansingburgh store not that long ago . I was glad, years ago that they changed from natural casing to skinless. I still enjoyed the taste and the sauce. Years ago I would occasionally buy some sauce in a jar from some supermarkets. I will probably stop in again if close.

The food has always been good ever since I was a child, however it has dramatically improved and the lunch time staff consisting of two outstanding women with great customer service really is what makes the place feel welcoming, with only two of them, I witnessed them hold down the fort and PERFECT every single order during lunch time with great communication between customers and with each other and having worked in the food industry I can say that’s no small task…. Taking orders, making food, shakes, drinks,smiling,call outs keeping food fresh barely breaking a sweat as the customers kept flooding in with bigger orders. Hats off to the workers of lansenburg Charlie’s for amazing service, if anyone reads this make sure you give them a good tip next time you go they deserve it. I had to run all the way back just to do Soo because I forgot but my experience was just that good!!-amen

While the service was very good, the ladies were very busy and clearly working hard- the food was terrible. I hate to say that, too. I love Hotdog Charlie’s, but the sauce had a very overcooked and burnt taste. I ate there, and almost didn’t make it home. I was so sick all night long after consuming that. I usually go to the one in Cohoes, and have never had that happen to me.

Shocked that this place has 4.3 stars! Did it used to be good?
I’m new to the area and was eager to try this place, but what a let down. I ordered the cheese burger (as it comes) and a hotdog with the works. Absolutely tasteless, might as well eaten the napkins it came with. Now if this was a buck a dog or a two dollar cheese burger I’d get it but I spent $9! This place is supposed be a staple of Lansingburgh?? People need to get out more!

Long time customer but this past time the sauce was very salty. Hopefully this was just a one time thing. The sauce you buy in a jar is not overly salty. Service with a smile.
