The dogs themselves are Salhen's I believe, so good, but nothing special. But their sauce is the best Texas sauce I've ever had. I always get 2-3 hot dogs, drizzled in sauce, and fries with a side of the sauce. I'd buy a jar, but the owner is very secretive about the recipe and won't let anybody have more than they'll need for a meal. Expand Yes 100% 1

Metal Man Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 For hot dog joints Ted's is pretty good but I am a Zorbas guy myself. That is my "must-visit" when back in the Buffalo area. As for hot dog brands I have been converted into a Hofmann guy since moving to the Syracuse area. Nothing like a Hofmann coney with some spicy mustard fresh off the grill.

oldmanfan Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 My first stop every time I'm back. Two burned with sauce, onion, and pickle, rings. It's heaven. Way, way back in the day when I was 10 years old I played baseball for the Lincoln Park Lions. an 8 year old kid named Teddy tried out and made the team, played center field. He was the grandson of the guy who started Ted's. Teddy's dad ran the Sheridan store (only one other than the one next to the Peace Bridge then), and he was so happy Teddy was on the team he told us we could get free lunch if we won on Saturday morning. We went undefeated and I still have great memories of going to get lunch with the team.
Mark80 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Wow, all these people posting on the onion rings. I find them horrendous. So greasy, not crispy, batter falling off all the time. No thanks. Maybe its just the sheridan drive location? I'll just take my dogs with a small fry with vinegar and ketchup on the fries.
