    two burgers and french fries
    Kristen H.

    Reliable burger joint at Bushnell's basin... Clean bright and friendly service. Delicious thin Smashburger type burgers with perfectly cooked crinkle fries. Side of dill or a side of sweet pickles available on request... Don't miss their homemade root beer! A little tip sometimes there are coupons available on their website.

    Came on a Friday night expecting it to be a nightmare, but they were doing a great job handling the crowd, getting food out quickly, bussing tables, etc. The burgers are a little dry/bland, but for some reason, they hit the spot. I was pleasantly surprised by their plate. It's not a dish I normally get (heavy, not a mac salad fan), but the proportions of everything Tom Wahl's adds balances each flavor and texture out perfectly.

    I got a vanilla shake and some chili fries. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was good. Service was friendly and fast. The interior had a throwback diner feel. I'll be back to try their burgers. It's nice that you can order ahead online and can also find some coupons pretty easily.

    Wahl burger, fries, and a root beer.
    Rory R.

    Visiting a customer in the area and figured try a local chain place. Ordered the Wahl burger, fries, and frosted mug of root beer. The burger was just ok, a bit unique with the ham and swiss on top of the patty but the patty and bun are a bit thin. The fries were ok, appear to be standard crinkle cut but no seasoning on them so had to add salt which is rare for me. The root beer is probably the highlight since made by them. Overall I think I prefer a Culvers meal over this but don't know if you don't try new places. Thus on to the next.

They serve classic all beef, grilled, hot dogs with any of the following items kosher New York City sauerkraut, freshly grilled onions and peppers, spicy pepper relish, onions, classic pickle relish, Nancy's mustard, and of course ketchup and yellow mustard. They even have veal dogs, Italian pork sausages, and chicken spiedies (grilled chicken cubes in a hotdog bun -- spiedies are an upstate NY invention). I have tried all of these options and they are all fantastic, but I am a purest and love the kosher all beef dog with grilled peppers and a touch of sauerkraut the best. You can also purchase frito-lay bags of chips and bottled/canned drinks. He uses local wieners ...tee hee....from Hofmann's franks based out of Syracuse New York. Lou notes that he thinks that "central New Yorkers prefer the grilled flavor to the classic New York city steamed or boiled hot dogs." This is why he switched to a gas powered grill in 2001. I can't agree more, I love the grill. Lou is super friendly, and he'll chat with you as he prepares your dogs. Its $2 per hot dog. One dog is a great snack, 2 dogs or 1 chicken spiedie is a great meal. I never "plan" to eat here as the hours are dependent on the wether, I usually see them while walking around the commons and can't resist.

    I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. The food is fantastic. The prices ($3 for sausage with…read morepeppers and onions?!?!) are incredible, and Lou is an extremely nice guy.

One of the nostalgic…read morememories that I had was going to the Lil Red Caboose with my parents when I was young and getting some food from here! Lil Red Caboose is one of the few lunch/dinner spots in the small town of Clyde, New York. It's located on a corner street, on the way to Sodus Point. It's a outside seating, small stand. The Lil Red Caboose offers a variety of different meals such as Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, French Fries, Sausages, Mozzarella sticks, and of course, the Zwiegles Pop-open Hot-Dogs! I stopped by and picked up a meal I remembered having when I was younger, fried mozzarella sticks and a Red Zwiegles Pop-open Hot Dog. I picked up a order number and took a sit in their outside tables. The ambiance was so relaxing, surrounded by greenery with the sound of nature. The meal was out in about 15 minutes. There was [5] Mozzarella Sticks, thick and filled with cheese. It came hot off the deep fryer and the Zwiegles red-hot dog was cooked to perfection, not too burnt with just a slight crisp to it. The food was delicious! With the Zwiegles, typically you fill up the pop-open hot dogs with onions and peppers to enhance the flavor. Sauces were on the house. The meal came out to be $5.50, quite reasonably for the quality and quantity for food!

    This is third time here. Food is delicious. Love sweet potato fries…read more Grilled Chicken Sammie was so good. Highly recommend

I stopped at AJ's for a quick and inexpensive bite after the gym. I saw they had a pizza burger on special for just $6.99 and that piqued my interest. I debated not getting a roll suspecting it would be one of the super cheap burger buns, but I just ordered it as is; I was very glad I did. It was made fresh to order in about 8 minutes. When it came out, it was presented open faced on a nicely toasted junior kaiser roll with a good amount of tasty pizza sauce, a load of gooey provolone, and cup & char pepperoni atop the burger, which was a decent size. Everything worked well together and it was like a tasty, meaty, easily handheld piece of pizza. The service was friendly. I believe there was indoor seating, but I ordered at the window and sat at a picnic table outside. I would visit again.
