Excellent food and very reasonable prices, which is hard enough to come by these days and the crew are super friendly and helpful if I lived closer I'd definitely make this a regular spot!

Exploring the Erie Canal Trail, I found this hidden gem in Amsterdam. Ordered two loaded dogs, large fries, and locally made chocolate milk. Fries were great: hot and crisp. Chocolate milk hit the spot and definitely tasted better than what you see in stores. The dogs were outstanding. I can't describe exactly what it was. Definitely the sauce, but more just a great mix and amount of each topping.Best part of the visit though was the hospitality and the local vibe. As I walked up to the door, soaking wet from hiking, I was invited in to dry off inside. Not wanting me to be cold, seeing my sweatshirt was soaked, he literally gave me the shirt off his back and refused to take a dime.As I sat and ate, I listened to the conversations around me. Seemed like all local people, friendly, knew each other. There was a lunch rush, and things were done promptly, but he made time to sit and talk with people and check in on the odd hiker from out of town.Cares about his customers and makes great food. If you're running/walking/cycling the trail, I HIGHLY recommend this spot, especially for lunch.Sidenote: made it to Albany around 4am - in dry and warm sweatshirt. Thanks, this was the best stop on my trip!

Discovered this gem on my drive from Northern Cal to Boston in January. Joe’s shop is on the Mohawk River below Amsterdam Castle & next to the original Erie Canal Store! Historical ambiance off the charts here. Oh & he cooks up a lot more than hot dogs. His meat-sauce omelette is a solid culinary 10.

This place is amazing you have got to go. Burgers are great fries and gravy are fantastic and it’s cheaper than fast food.

Guge is a great guy. He makes an awesome breakfast sandwich. He will make you feel right at home. He's also got some neat sports memorabilia. And he helps the local little league. What's not to love?

Their NY style dogs with meat sauce, onions and mustard are some of the best I've had. Prices are super reasonable - go get a better home-cooked version of your fast food faves and support small bz!

Hot dogs are amazing. Got spicy hot dog with meat sauce ,onions the works . Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.Parking: Amsterdam by the old armory that was turned into a hotel.
If I had to chose one place to eat out for the rest of my life this would be the place. The Guge fries are epic, the hotdogs are all beef (I don't eat pork so that's awesome), and I even love their burgers.

Frozen burger patty, not fresh, no seasoning on the burgers, bland generic burgers, romaine lettuce on a burger is the the tell tale sign of a place that can not make good burgers. The cook squirted water on the burgers, Absolutely horrid burgers. Only reason I went there is that they advertise "Fresh Angus Beef" its not, its a frozen patty from Walmart. Took one bite and threw it away. 2 burgers were still raw in the middle. Waste of money, time, and gas. The cook actually said its Fresh Frozen! LMAO!!!!! WHAT!!!!
