New Way Lunch — Restaurant in City of Glens Falls

I had been craving a good hot dog for days. Which is something that I’ve never craved before. I had a legit dream of biting into a delicious, snappy, hot dog the other night and I knew I had to settle this craving ASAP. My husband, the delightful soul that he is, looked up the best places to get hot dogs and off we went to New Way Lunch. Walking in, it’s super small but cozy. Obvious regulars talking with each other and the staff, extremely welcoming environment. There is both counter and booth seating available. There was one waitress and one cook. Both were awesome. The waitress seemed to be everywhere at once, fulfilling everyone’s orders and overall superwoman! My son and I ordered two hit dogs each and cheese fries, the husband got a phili cheesesteak. Everything is made fresh as you order them and it’s quick! Everything tasted great! The fries were super crispy and delicious. I actually had to move them to my husband so I would stop aimlessly eating them even though I was full. My husband said his phili was pretty good as well. Our son said the place was “Really, really great!” Overall our bill was $29 (we did end up getting chocolate cake since it was sitting right in front of the kid and he was just longingly staring at it. I didn’t have any but he seemed to enjoy it!) Everything from the service to the food was great especially at the price point. My only complaint is that we live in Ballston Spa so we have to drive 30 minutes to come back. Which we absolutely...

I have been coming here as a person since 1987 I'm 44 years old now and some of the best memories that have ever happened in my entire life exist with the original location would that said after 19 years of being a very amazing business and a great part of the community people still seem to talk about the original location. That makes this amazing is that the nostalgia and the history and the mythos of New Way Lunch lives on for the test of time. When I walked into the restaurant and I have not been to this location in 10 years The first thing that I said to me is do you need a menu in my complete answer is no cuz I know exactly what I want. You are hot dog artists and there is complete pleasure and pride to say that you are the best. Thank you for all these years of...

Yeah, sure, we know New Way Lunch has a variety of foods and they do them all well, but who are we kidding? It's the dogs that matter! We love the dogs, we grew up on the dogs, we proudly stood in a line with other locals and simply said "two, works", or "four, works" and they knew what we meant while out-of-towners looked on quizzically at our rituals. And after an evening out when we were wanting something, all you needed to do was drive by to know that was exactly what you wanted. And when New Way Lunch tried to shed the stigma of the name "Dirty John's" and the famous "dirt dogs", we kept calling them that, and it was the mark of a true local. So, we'll give them much respect and agree to call them "New Way Lunch", but with love, we'll never NOT call them...
