    Still getting the bad taste just talking about it,I hope you turn it around

    I have frequented this place for years and now I don't work close. I still managed to stop by and get a large order to go, to share with family and friend. I am absolutely shocked what has transpired since I last visited, the service is always top notch. The ambiance hasn't change. But what about the food??!! It absolutely is terrible What the. heck? not enough sauce on michigans, I checked the sauce burgers and the bun was soaking wet. all four were the same. plain dogs explained a lot where did this thing come from I couldn't share it with anyone and I have $52 worth of food, $60 with tip sitting in my fridge.New owners? can't figure it out.

    Everything I ordered was fantastic and decently priced. - The red hot (Michigan dog): this thing holds together! No fork and knife needed, I ate it like a hot dog and not a single ounce of sauce dropped. The texture was very nice, flavors well balanced, not overly salty. I was disappointed by the red hot the first time I tried it at another well known joint but this one got me sold - The "poutine" (actually called fries with gravy and cheese): amazing homemade fries - tastes fresh, sweet, not overly fried, almost the french-fries equivalent of al dente. Those hot fries go really well with the gravy. Cheese didn't really add any value - Steak sandwich: the pieces also held together strong, except this one was dripping. The meat was really really tender, almost melt in my mouth, cheese and bread made the "soft" texture experience complete. I kinda wish there was more meat - bread to meat ratio was a lot but doesn't take away from a great creation - Cheeseburger: yep that's real ground beef right there. You choose how it's cooked. I got medium, being warned that it was going to be very pink, and so it was. That giant piece of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes though were a bit too much for the thin patty, so I'd opt instead for a not deluxe burger or get the double. - Blueberry pie: don't think I ever tried homemade blueberry pie. It was good. Man overall every item was great, the service was excellent and quick, the price was good. Total bill: $20. This is one of my Plattsburgh top 3 now. Cash only.

    Steamed hot dogs covered in meat sauce topped with chopped white onions all for about $2.00? That's a solid in my book. I'll back up a bit. I guess this is a thing in North country, specifically Plattsburgh. I live by the motto when in Rome, so I had to partake. It wasn't the best dog I've ever had. It was freshly steamed and topped with a meat sauce/gravy and fresh chopped onions on a soft bun. I think the meat sauce could of had a bit more depth, it lacked. I know, I know, a $2 hot dog meat sauce lacking depth? Really? You probably want to punch me in the face at this point, I don't blame you. This real casual diner seems to be a popular local 'red hot' spot. It's definitely worth checking it out if you're around these parts and looking for a quick, cheap bite and wanting to take part in some local culture!

    My husband proposed here 4 years ago, so we return each summer out of nostalgia. Good thing the food is consistently tasty! I've tried a few different things on the menu over the years, but always go back to the basics. A Michigan with buried onions. (As another Yelper so astutely put it: "It's a chili dog." Yes, it's right on their sign!) Also try the homemade (not crinkle cut, frozen, bagged, school cafeteria potatoes, because they do give you an option!) with gravy. Don't think. Just do.

    Always fast service, fresh made-to-order food, and delicious desserts. Only giving 4 stars because the prices are pretty high.

    Quick friendly service and good red hots! The prices here are very reasonable. Come here instead of going to the nearby national chain.

    McSweeney's rocks. It's the place every relative asks to eat when they visit town. It's nostalgia in a paper dish.

    Restaurants D Lafleur - Selection #1: 2 steamed hot dogs, fries and a large drink (missing from photo)

    This establishment has been in business for as long as I can remember, so coming back for our…read moreSteamies and French Fries made my day. We both had Selection 1 (2 steamed hot dogs all dressed, a huge bag of Quebec style french fries and a large drink). It wasn't very busy so we didn't have to wait long to order and receive our food. If you're from Montréal or somewhere in the Province de Québec, Lafleur's has been a go-to for generations. It's not everybody's choice for lunch or dinner, but they do serve Poutine if that is your desire. It's just not for me.

    Probably one of the original Lafleur's. This place is always packed and the service is great…read more It's one of the oldest casse croutes still standing and I wish I knew how in the hell they make money by only charging 69cents an all dressed steamy! Location: West island off of hymus and sources pretty busy and always a line up through the door. Service : not very amicable but super efficient.. staff just wants to get you out of there and take a 5 min breather after a crazy rush Food: it's Okay but can't expect more for what you pay for. I enjoyed the Michigan's in particular the sauce was great but the bun was stale. I love my dogs dirtyyy and drenched in the sauce so unfortunately i found it wasn't drenched enough quite bland the sauce .. not the best michigans I've had they're tiny compared to other places but again can't expect much for 1,50$ a Michigan.. the all dressed steamy was ok just tiny again Overall, if you're hungry and want something fast and filling Lafleur's is an option but it's not the best option for quality and food.. The only good thing is the price lol it's still a good spot for a snack
