Central Hots, Elmira NY

A great place to eat and employees are very nice and polite
Food is always good. I live in Bath but I will drive there just to eat.

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.

This place has good diner food, the prices are on the cheaper side and the place is very quaint. The staff is very helpful.

Quality was nice and the people were very nice. My mother and I had an enjoyable time there. They made us feel very at home. I hope to take her back there again soon

Very good hot dogs, meat sauce has a nice flavor. My only wish is if they were natural casings but they are still so good!

They ALWAYS remember us Hortons even though we’ve moved states and only come back every couple of years.food is always phenomenal!

I enjoy the atmosphere and the booths for a relaxing meal, and the Texas Hots are for me. Almost Every visit to Elmira takes me to detour to the Central
5 and they bring the food to your table

Great food. Very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Tons of options. They're more than willing to customize things for you. Great experience

I just really didn't like being served a frozen patty. Other than that every thing else was awesome.

Very disappointed. There’s a sign as you walk in the door that indicates people with guns with legal concealed carry permits are welcome. That scares me to death to think I may be standing next to anyone carrying. And it promotes gun carrying and use. Food is great. Staff is nice but because of this I will not be returning.

Amazing fresh food. Friendly staff. Great prices. Clean and well kept indoor and outdoor environment. Will be back again.

I've lived in this area just about my entire life and never went here to eat until today! And now I know ow what I've been missing all those years I never went it! Absolutely delicious food! I got the double bacon cheeseburger and the chili cheese fries, when I got home and opened it to try, made my mouth water and it is just SOOO good! Great job central hots! I'll be back!

The food is good but pricey for just hotdogs and fries. Spent over $35 on 4 hotdogs and 2 fries and 2 drinks so to us that seemed quite high for the type of food we ordered. Overall the place is clean and well kept and the food was very good but again prices are high.
