“ We come here every time we visit Central NY, as much for nostalgia as the hot dogs. Heid’s is the hot dog stand that many locals, including my wife, grew up on. There are two choices - traditional and a brat style “snappy” that is also referred to as a coney. Either choice is excellent. The dogs are hot off of the grill, served on a melt-in-your-mouth New England style hot dog bun, and topped with a nice selection of self-serve condiments including their a own brown mustard. This is the place where I learned to love hot dogs paired with chocolate milk. ”
“ Great place for a quick hotdog. The staff was friendly and efficient. Realizing that the cost of food has skyrocketed I personally think 5 for a hotdog is a little too much. The hotdog was excellent ”
“ I visit hot dog places like this wherever I travel. I got a cool t shirt here. They had 2 types of hotdogs. One was pretty average. The other was whiteish colored and REALLY good. It was more like a sausage than a hotdog. ”
“ This is a Syracuse staple. Whether you're a visitor or resident, this is a must. Great place to visit year round but especially great in the summer. They have a ton of outdoor seating, live music, and an ice cream shop next door. If you just want hot dogs and fries, there's a kiosk by the live stage that has a limited menu for when it gets busy in the summer. ”
“ There's a reason Heid's is still around since 1917 and in it's iconic location since 1934. We used to go there as kids. The food brings back those memories. It's a little pricey for hot dogs but then again isn't EVERYTHING more expensive lately? If you've never been, you need to go! If you haven't been back in years, what are you waiting for?? ”
“ These dogs are simply the best. They grill them to perfection. Great fries, and I have to say it's one of those iconic stops you have to make. The young man taking our order was so funny that he could be a stand-up comic. One of our groups ordered the cheese steak, and it was delicious. ”
“ Not only is it *the* place to have a Hoffman frank or coney - they have an amazing team with friendly and engaging customer service. We celebrate my late dad’s birthday there every year and I just took a friend from DC to grab a coney (she was even offered a sample to try since she’d never had one) since she missed having a “Dome dog” at her first SU game. Pictures: this year’s celebration of Dad. ”
“ I had not been to Heid's in 17 years. Moved out of state & just got back to visit family. It did not disappoint. I had a Coney hot with onions and fried onions. Fast service and great tasting food. ”
