Yelp.com Review - by Liz B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Yeah this place is THE BOMB. Little chili hotdogs early in the morning with a hangover make you sick but i still went anyway. I'll probably never go back since I'm moving on with my life after college...

Yelp.com Review - by Chris K.

4.0 of 5 stars. You have to try the dogs at least once. They're mini dogs with spicy chili ("zippy") sauce, unique to the region and Famous is one of the few places still doing them like they've always done them....

5.0 of 5 stars. There is a reason that Famous Lunch has been around since before FDR was president. It serves the best small chili dogs in the world. Famous is an unchanged 1932 classic corner diner, downtown near...

Yelp.com Review - by Marc M.

5.0 of 5 stars. The little hot dogs really do it for me. I've been coming here since I was a little kid, and eat about a dozen with everything and wash it all down with chocolate milk. Best deal is the 4 hot dogs and...

Yelp.com Review - by akin t.

3.0 of 5 stars. Famous makes other food, but their centerpiece would be the mini-hot dogs. These are made with finger length beef and pork dogs with natural casings. There aren't as good as all-beef dogs, but...

Yelp.com Review - by Caleb P.

Great Hole-in-the-Wall by Joe B. at InsiderPages

Famous lunch is known for their mini hot dogs. Get them all the way - chili, onions, and mustard. I've heard the hot dogs are made especially for them by a local butcher. Forget appearances here - the food...

Yelp.com Review - by Daniel B.

4.0 of 5 stars. Don't know how many people go to the Troy Farmers market to buy grass fed beef and top off the whole experience with mini hot dogs from Famous Lunch. Maybe that's why I can't bring myself to give...

4.0 of 5 stars. They call it Famous for a reason. These bite size hot dogs, which have been served up since the 20's are great. Not sure what's on the topping -never asked- but it's good stuff. A must stop if...
