Goong there for 60 yrs .Can't beat them yummy

I love Mike's hot dogs and ate there regularly when I lived in upstate NY, but I have moved to Texas. Is it possible to buy the meat sauce and have it shipped to me? Pints? Quarts? Thanks

I also live in upstate NY Scotia by Albany

Been going to this place for 57 years and I love it. I always have liked their dog sauce even on a cheese burger with fried onions and ketchup. Occasionally a couple of dogs all the way and a small order of fries makes my day.

It's a Mom and Pop shop which is awesome! Cash only! They serve a pretty good hot dog, not the best I've had but certainly not the worst. It was on the spicy side which I enjoyed. I would have given them 4 stars but the hot dogs are over priced at $2.40 each, that's way too much for a simple hot dog with everything as seen in the photo. Would I go back? Yes I might if I was in the area again, however, I don't think I'd go out of my way.

One really great Schenectady tradition sits right here on Erie Boulevard in this, The Electric City! The hot dogs are delicious, whether topped with standard pickle relish and mustard, or go "all the way" with Mike's Hot Dogs Meat Sauce (fantastic!)... onion rings are fabulous... one note to the uninitiated, this is a cash-only business, no credit or debit cards. Prices are fabulous, too! So good... a tradition, a landmark, it's just down-home Schenectady.

Food was alright. But when I went to pay my tab with my card, the waitress said " I'm sorry. We're old school here. We don't take those. But there's an ATM over there you can use." When I went to use it, another waitress said, "That doesn't work, but there's one at the Stewart's across the way." I ended up leaving my sister there as a hostage and went to the bank to get cash. There were no signs anywhere that said "Cash Only!" Probably won't go back there.

Something about this place is magic. Something about the liquid cheeseburgers and large cups of mountain dew make me forget how I hate my life and how big of a failure I am. If a 1.99 burger can do that, it's magic. Mike's is probably the finest dining establishment in Schenectady. They have a phone booth for the love of the gods.

Food is delicious, gets cooked quickly & right in front of you, staff is friendly, prices are good. Just be sure to bring cash as they don't accept cards. That's the only downfall. They have an ATM machine, but we all know how much those things charge!

I can't believe I have never written a review on Mike's. So some background....I am the 3rd of 4 generations to be a regular at Mike's. It doesnt matter how long I'm gone for or why I'm back in town .Mike's and Oliver's are the only places to never be missed in my visits back. The place is essential to anyone traveling or living in the Schenectady area. It's one of the locations that is as rich in history as it is in Greek hot dog sauce. The only way to order your dog is "all the way" and the chz burgers with sauteed onions along with the fries are a must. Please do yourself a favor and go here when in the area...I promise u wont be disappointed.

Real old-school spot. Small menu -- burgers, dogs, fries, gyros and some breakfast options but everything is made to order and delicious. Cash only, so bear that in mind, but a real solid place for a quick, hearty breakfast or lunch.

We love Mike! A family member has been in the hospital long-term. This is our place to stop every day during our visits. Our favorites are two hot dogs with the works! Beyond that the sausage Burger the steak sandwich, a cheeseburger with grilled onions, these are some of our other favorites we love the onion rings! And the service is really nice too. Because we go so often the staff has come to greet us and knows Our Favorite Beverages. That's a nice feeling. It kind of feels like being in our own small town.

There are not many great spots like this left. Even though it is not shiny and new, it is a nice, clean place and is locally owned, with friendly staff, and the food served is excellent! We get breakfast here, every day we are in town. Their steak and cheese is as good as any we have had, too! Haven't sampled the entire menu but I suspect everything they serve is excellent! 👍👍
