Mcconnell's Hots

Neat little gem of a place- I have driven by many times, but had not stopped by until recently. Pleasantly surprised with the neat interior, there are many vintage photos of Elmira inside, and it is neat and clean. Seemed to be plenty of parking even during the lunch rush. Many options on the menu- everything from basic dogs to loaded dogs, basic burgers to garbage plate burgers, chicken spiedie subs and crispy chicken sandwiches, Philly cheese steak and grilled cheese sandwiches, and boneless wings! Also, nachos, onion rings, fried cauliflower, mozz sticks, jalapeno poppers, salads, homemade potato and macaroni salads, too. French fries come in many different guises- by themselves or with gravy, loaded, chili cheese, or sweet potato. Ice cream for after the meal- sundaes, cups and cones, milk shakes and floats are available. I thought that the prices are below what I generally find when eating out in other establishments. We paid around $10 each for our lunches. I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger and a regular order of fries. While the burger patties were not the absolute best I have ever had, overall the burger was very tasty, and well sized for the value. The fries were crispy and hot and I felt that the portion size was excellent. My wife ordered a hotdog, and seemed pleased with it, and she thoroughly enjoyed the order of French fries with gravy. I snuck a few of them and liked the flavor of the gravy. Very tasty indeed. Staff was amenable and friendly, and delivered food to tables. Overall an excellent experience and will definitely go again.
