Who serves the best hot dogs in Western New York?

  • My favorite hot dog in the area is Hog-Dawg in the Town of Niagara (4900 Saunders Settlement Road, Niagara Falls). They serve foot-long hot dogs with a frosty cold mug of root beer. This establishment has been there since the ’60s and hasn’t changed much in 40 years—so I’m told.

  • Louie’s on Elmwood (470 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo) for veggie dogs or Old Man River (375 Niagara St., Tonawanda) for bunny dogs.

  • This would have to be Red Top Hot Dogs (Lakeshore and Big Tree roads) right on the lake in Hamburg. It’s a one-of-a kind dog stand. It has a postcard view of Buffalo from the parking lot. The view has changed over the years—from steel plant to wind turbines. Awesome sunsets.
