    My wife and I drove by here and stopped and got a couple Hot dogs and the sausage pepper and onion She liked her sausage sandwich I had the regular dogs with everything on it on a scale 1 to 10 I'd give mine a 9. I ate three could have had a couple more . The sauce was very good and the snap to the dog was excellent. Great place !!! Fast service good dogs!

    Mini hot dogs are oddly a local thing in the capital region, and Gus's is my go to every time. I learned about them in 2009 and have been evangelizing about their top notch dogs and burgers since then.

    We were in the mood for chili dogs and came across Gus's online. No more than 10 min north of Albany this small divy joint offers indoor and outdoor seating with picnic tables. CASH ONLY. Service was very quick and staff was friendly. Their mini dogs are mini, about half the size of a regular hot dog, you get your choice of the works (meat sauce, mustard, onions, ketchup) or just pick what you like, all for $1.30. They also offer cheese/hamburgers for a very affordable price. We each had two mini hotdogs and 1 cheeseburger. The meat sauce is not chili, wasn't super flavorful but nonetheless still tasty. Very quick stop! Seems like a local place to go.

    Fast service, comfortable outdoor seating and delicious mini dogs, and a tasty sausage and peppers sandwich. This was the perfect snack. Beautiful, quiet day to sit outside at the picnic tables.

    What a gem in a neighborhood surrounding. Nothing fancy but if your looking for a quick bite or have the munchies this definitely the fix. Hot dogs 4 inches long order 4 . Cheeseburger and Italian beef sandwich were good grilled onions and chili sauce. Service is fast!!! This is not the place for date night but the place to fill the gut with some good food. Inside counter seating and outdoor table and benches. Fortunately I live 2900 miles away or I'd be here regularly.

    Great little spot for a quick grab to eat. Prices are cheap, food taste great. This was my first time here and let me tell you. They were busy. So many people stopped by during lunch to grab a quick lunch. The staff was very quick to handle everyone's orders. I was certainly impressed. The gentleman at the window looked miserable. He didn't smile once lol! Oh well. Would try again!

    Just look at the pictures. What you see is what you get. Good old fashioned American grub served up the way they've been doing it for years, no pretense, nothing fancy. The hot dogs are tiny little bites with generous spoonfuls of chili, mustard and onions. The sausages are patties and served like burgers, on buns with sautéed onions and green peppers. Dee-Lish-ous!!! If you wanna support local, this is the very definition of a family-owned hole-in-the-wall. Everyone ought to try Gus's, it's that simple. Next time I'm anywhere near Albany, this is my first stop.

    Absolutely amazing hot dogs. I think Troy might be the hot dog capital of America. You have to get it with chili and mustard.

    We didn't love Gus's. The dogs flavor was underwhelming compared to other spots in the area.

    Tiny, wrinkled, dry hot dogs- like 1/2 the diameter of Charlie's. Topping were ok. True, they are cheap, but they aren't very good.

    Went to Burger King Menands drive thru to order breakfast. Window attendant very rude. When giving…read moreorder they stated I don't need to know that. Order was very simple ordered cream with my coffee never got it. They never said thank you just was handed the order which was wrong and the food given was cold will never go there again.

    Review by 'Steve E.' below is spot on. It is a 4 star experience…read more It could have been a 5 if the kids had not spent 5 minutes squabbling about water sports or some nonsense and made me (Yelp customer) stand in line. Then they served to-go orders first and spoke with a row of cars, made me wait again. That said, it's Burger King m'kay.. I am not a regular of this sort of food and especially not in this area. Staff is a bunch of chatterboxes. Chefs are a bunch of hottentot jumping jacks. Ordered some mozzarella sticks, chicken sandwich, nugs and a slice of pie. It took like 12 minutes. The food was fine. The mozzarella sticks were jammed in their cardboard box with what seemed like no grace and a big fist. Burger was short on lettuce. The dessert was plopped in the bag upside down. It is the little details that us Elite Yelp!s take care of and note down. Details! When my order was up, it wasn't the kids who served it - they were too busy jabbering and horsing around (get those kids to settle down and do their jobs) - no, it was the female manager who came out from back and served it. The dining room is a little on the darker side and condiments needed to be filled. Review: 4
