Every region of New York has its own dish that it’s well-known for, with everyone loving Buffalo’s wings and residents never getting enough of city pizza. But if you head up into our North Country, you’ll find an American favorite dish that’s been turned into something so much more. After a woman from Detroit moved to Plattsburgh and brought an amazing recipe with her, the town would come to adopt Michigan Red Hots and embrace the dish. With a handful of restaurants in town offering up these dogs, find out which stops you should make to get the full Red Hots experience.
All within a quick drive of each other, Plattsburgh has numerous restaurants that have put their own spin on Red Hots.

Ian H/TripAdvisor Just off of the Northway, Gus’ Red Hots is one of the first stops people will make when they’re looking to get a good Red Hot in New York. Set up just like a classic diner, Gus’ has been around for over 60 years and is one of the best places to eat in town. If you love eating Red Hots, then this is a great place go stop and you won’t want to forget to pair up your dog with one of their milkshakes.

Tileman1213/TripAdvisor If you’re looking to get a true taste of what Red Hots are, there’s no better place to visit than Clare & Carl’s. Out near the water off of Route 9, Clare & Carl’s is another restaurant in town that’s been around for ages. Many of us grew up with our parents or grandparents driving us over to Clare & Carl’s to enjoy the car-hop service! Open since 1942, we don’t see our residents ending their love for Clare & Carl’s Red Hots anytime soon, and it’s time that you pay a visit to see why.
- McSweeney’s Red Hots
