New Way Lunch

New Way Lunch is my favorite among the many mini-hot dog places in the Cap District. First, their dogs while not full size are more substantial than others, giving you a satisfying satiety after you've downed just a few of them. Second, there's something extra in the sausage, a flavor complexity in addition to the usual juicy meaty satisfaction. Third, the meat sauce also has an extra twist thanks to cinnamon or another warm spice.

I fed myself two dirty dogs (which have mustard, onions and meat sauce) at $1.80 each and an order of cole slaw for $3.00. I like to try cole slaw if it's on the menu and rate it on the size of the portion (often minuscule and a poor value for money) and the dressing. New Way scores with a generous portion which was garnished with a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice, but the slaw itself was not prepared in-house but rather out of a prepackaged tub.

The location is very convenient, right off the main drag in downtown GF. You have your choice of counter seating, 50s style booths, a takeout window or (in good weather) a covered patio outside. Overall, a fine way to get your mini-hot dog fix.

A local gem! New Way is a no frills, retro-feeling place that was great for lunch. There are some booths or you can eat at the counter. My mom got hot dogs and I got the Philly cheese sandwich with chicken. My sandwich was a bit bland but with a bit of Mayo and a dash of hot sauce- delicious! The meat sauce on the hot dogs is a tasty addition. We had a brownie which was extremely chocolate-y. The also serve cakes and pies. Service was minimal but I feel like since it was effective, I didn't mind at all. This feels like a cozy local spot where I want to be a regular!

Of all the many Capital District hot dog places (Famous Lunch, Gus's, First Prize Mike's, Hot Dog Charlie's, etc... we are lucky to have a LOT), New Way Lunch (Dirty John's) is KING! It's the meat sauce. The traditional Upstate NY hot dog has raw onion, mustard, and meat sauce. New Way Lunch has the perfect combination. The meat sauce is perfect - nobody else can match it.

I love this place. The hot dogs are out of this world, the staff is exceptional, and the entire place is kept immaculately clean. Whenever I visit the area, this is a must go to place.

Not sure why it took me so long but I recently ate lunch with awesome friends at "New Way Lunch" in Glensfalls NY. It's only 10 minutes from Lake George, NY and it was a step back in time and an absolutely delicious lunch. A simple menu of their famous hotdogs, sandwiches and desserts . They're open for lunch and dinner only. This beautiful piece of nostalgia sent me back to my childhood and made me smile and enjoy the great food even more! It's a tiny locally loved restaurant that is tucked between chains but it's a great place to eat! #NewWayLunch #NostalgiaLives #5Stars

I like their hot dogs with the works and fries. My mom had the fish , she prefers the buns toasted. That her only disappointment. The waitress had an insulin pump just like mine- that makes it extra special. Just need more diet soda choices since I can't Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi. I can have Diet Mt Dew, 7up, Mello yellow, diet orange or sparkling water. Just following Dr. Orders.

Good eats for cheap. Old school diner serving hot dogs, burgers and other staples from flat top grill. Hot dogs with works come topped with meat sauce, onions and mustard and buns are soft and slightly steamed. A classic place for a quick, no fuss bite.

Service is always good and food is delicious. The hot dogs are very good and while I do not get them with everything I do like stopping in and getting a few dogs and fries a few times a month. Great in the summer time to sit outside and nice in winter to have inside dining option also.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere, the smiles, and most of all the food! The customer service was above excellent! My husband and I are already planning our next visit!

Great food and even better service! Only two workers and it was busy yet the food was delicious and came out fast!
