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

I had the pleasure of dining at Hot Dog Charlie’s recently while traveling to the Albany area. I ordered small dogs with “the works” which includes a delicious chili sauce, and mustard and onions.

My father in law used to live in the Albany area and is obsessed with Hot Dog Charlie’s. When I sent him pictures of the hot dogs with toppings, he told me he was jealous and “now you’ve lived,” which, if you’ve met my father in law, you would know is high praise.

They also sell chili sauce by the jar which you can put on your own wieners. It’s much better than the bland, processed stuff that is sold at the grocery store. Their sauce is also sold online for the out-of-town ers like myself so I can always enjoy the bold flavor of Hot Dog Charlie’s without having to drive for...

My husband loves hot dogs so for an 80th birthday (last Aug)surprise party my NJ nephew brought him an online purchased $25 gift card. My husband had 3 hospitalizations past yr so the gift card was never used. Grandson drove him to get lunch using the gift card. When presented we were told there was NO $ on the gift card. So my NJ nephew printed a gift card, with a redemption code that was never used and $ disappeared ? That was disappointing however the hotdogs themselves were mediocre, fries no nearly as good as 5 guys, place itself not great. Definitely not with the drive...

As an out of stater, these hot dogs are amazing! Get the full ones with "the works" should have asked for extra saurkraut and put some ketchup on those babies mmmmhmmmm
