MATT'S RED HOTS – American
A hot dog counter with Western New York in its bloodline. Matt's Red Hots serves Sahlen's dogs — snappy, char-marked, dressed the house way or built to order — with hand-cut fries, onion rings, burgers off never-frozen patties and chicken for the holdouts. Then there is the ice cream: 24 homemade flavours and shakes spun from real scoops, which is why a lot of orders end up bigger than planned. Diners consistently single out the authenticity of the franks and the friendliness behind the counter. Simple food, done properly, on the south end of Tamiami Trail.
