Hot Dog Charlie's Cohoes — Restaurant in City of Cohoes

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE.I have been a loyal Hot Dog Charlies customer since 1965. Today is sadly the last time I will ever eat there again. There were two of us ,the bill was $32 Regardless of the incredibly rude women taking our order I out of pure habit gave a $5 tip when I placed our order.. we ordered two vanilla milkshakes as we always have, mini chili dogs and cheese fries. The first disappointment came when we took the first sip of our vanilla milkshakes but these are no longer milkshakes they were a lukewarm soft serve nasty tasting fluff like material, they are no longer made with vanilla ice cream and milk I brought one of the milkshakes up to the window where the two very rude elderly women working had handed us our food I told one of the women that the milkshakes were not very good, they were made how they used to make them and if I could please just have a soda instead I never even asked for my $12 back that it cost me for the two shakes (they are now charging $6 per shake!)she was extremely offended by this and told me I had to go stand in line again to get my soda so I had to go stand behind four people taking a good 20 minutes before I finally got to the the register all while my hot dogs and french fries were sitting on my table getting cold.. at that point one of the elderly women began yelling at me telling me there's nothing wrong with the shake it was a brand new "machine" confirming that it's no longer ice cream and milk, it's soft serve a non dairy chemical mix..they were using a soft serve machine..and charging $6 for one of these "shakes" she gave me my soda and wanted me to pay for that as well but considering the fact that she was being so rude and didn't even offer me a refund for the shakes I just walked back to my table where my friend was attempting to eat his hot dogs I noticed that he was not eating them as quickly as normal and there were quite a few still left he told me the sauce was horrific it had so much salt on it that it barely edible , it was NOT the same chili sauce that had been sold to me for the ptevious 50 years, and the cheese fries tasted like fish and had the fake orange cheese on top the whole meal was horrible, absolutely horrible, we ended up throwing at least half of the meal away, and to top it off, the entire time that we were sitting there the two women working were talking as loudly as they possibly could about how much of a jerk I was because I did not like my shake..it was a terrible experience I will never go back. If the current owner of Hot Dog Charlie's should read this review I would like a refund in full and if that should occur I will...

I ordered two items on DoorDash (Large Cheese Fry & Small Cheese Fry) with a special instruction on the Large one. "Extra cheese if possible". Because we all know how restaurants hook you up sometimes and there isn't an option for extra cheese on DoorDash yet. As I arrive and say "I'm here for a pick-up order for (My name)" everyone acts clueless of my order's existence. Then two of the employees stare me down and criticized me for ordering it on DoorDash instead of their website. Shortly after they finally start making my order one of the employees (Brown hair, old looking, female) asks if I "ordered extra cheese or not" and as I'm explaining the situation she cuts me off and goes "Okay that a no then" while I'm mid-sentence... I personally won't be going back to this unsanitary looking location again. Thankfully there is another location 10 more minutes away. I'd rather...

Not pleased to say the least, paid way too much for 12 hot dogs with chili sauce and cheese on the side. First of all, the overly greasy meat sauce was quite unappetizing and too hot for the plastic containers. Then, the cheese sauce (from Restaurant Depot) was sadly tasteless. Furthermore, the lady had the flat grill busy with little dogs for another customer and 4 full sized dogs, so the other girl grabs 12 new dogs from the freezer into the fryer for a flash fry before dropping them for about a minute on the grill and straight into the perfectly steamed buns (thats the one star). Thus, making the hot dogs themselves taste like used fryer grease (not ideal). I would NOT recommend spending any of your hard-earned money at this place. Stewart's, Speedway of Gus's will do you so much better. Sorry, Charlie! WE will not...
