Hot Dog Ranch - North Adams

I loved the old Hot Dog Ranch for their Hot Dogs and Cheesy Tots, now I love the new ones for their Mac and cheese bits (the Jalepeno Ranch is really good! We have gone three times since the place had a change of property, the staff (our waitress was a blonde lady, I think her name was Ashley? are friendly and I have no complaints there. My justification for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the article that was released took over as a new owner said that they keep favorites the same, but the hot dogs themselves are definitely different. You can order their version of everything or the original Hot Dog Ranch version of a whole dog, but there are some differences in the meats and rolls they use. Previously, the dogs had a snap to the case and the rolls were tight and made for a good mouth feeling (I hate to use this term, it sounds so strange. Your hot dogs are now soft without snapping, and the rolls are *very* soft and not as dense as before. This makes the hot dogs overall soft and squishy feeling and I really miss the snap/textur of the old fashion hot dogs. If they changed back to the original style, I would definitely give them 5 stars. I've had HDR in Pittsfield since then and there's a difference in what they're using. It should be pointed out that there is also a price increase for all their foods before it costs me about 10 dollars for a meal and now it costs almost twice for the same things. (Welcher, I wouldn't mind paying as much if the hot dogs were the same as before. Now I just don't get the hot dogs. Nevertheless a good choice for lunch!

Nice place. Great food, needs better table service. Other than that. Clean friendly staff fresh food!!

Bartender was very nice, I had a turkey bacon wrap delicious. My husband had 3 mini dogs he didn't like the sauce. Over nice friendly place to go.

I was very aggravated when I put my 8 month old in one of the high chairs and he nearly fell out, from the strap that goes in between the legs being stretched out. The high chairs seem to be from the previous owners which I?m sure have been there for years. The food was great service was great. I highly recommend ordering some new high chairs as that?s a safety issue. Also as a kid friendly environment having no changing tables in the bathrooms was extremely difficult.
