Grumpy Dog usually isn't "disgusting" per se. It's just not good. Ultimately the price for what you're getting drags it down into 1-star territory. These are anemic little Great Value hot dogs on cheap little untoasted buns. They're served lukewarm and the myriad of toppings are served cold. An icy chili dog is gross. A soggy Chicago dog is even worse. Toast your buns, fry your sausages, buy a warming tray for God's sake! Just show me you're trying. Ultimately, Grumpy Dog is just lazy. Twice the price of a Costco dog, about a third the size, and tasting an order of magnitude worse. read more

Hot dogs are very tasty and service was fast.The only down side is that it's very small.But I will be back soon

Food is great, the service is friendly, and the place is very nice and clean! Best hot dogs in central Alabama.

Went to Grumpy Dogs in Wetumpka today and as always GREAT hotdogs. I think the best in Alabama. Always fresh and taste fantastic. The owner is such a nice guy very friendly. You won't be disappointed! read more

If your downtown shopping this is a fun place to stop in for lunch or dinner. Grab a chili dog, your favorite chips & if you like key lime pie they have a chocolate dipped one on a stick that is so tasty! We enjoy the outdoor seating and often take a little Jack Russel, Bella with us. read more

Always a friendly face. I love eating there crack pepper chicken sandwiches. And they have such a beautiful view of downtown.

This place was a complete joke to me overpriced shitty hotdog and I'm dead ass serious. I usually don't use cuss words when I'm writing a review but this place is absolutely ridiculous. If you want mush Dog, this is the place to go. My toppings of chili and cheese was cold. I only went there once and that's all it took and I've gotta know how in the hell can people praise his place and I'm really shocked how long they've been in business. It is verifies that Wetumpka is just a horrible place to live read more

For quick and easy it's hard to beat the Grumpy Dog where the basic hot dog gets turned on its head! Several intriguing options. I had the Cheesy beanie which is a meaty frank with chili, cheese, grilled onion, and baked beans, truly a messy delight. My 3 family members played it safer with the frito bandito wrap which included grilled chicken, lettuce, coleslaw, fritos and cheese. All 3 really enjoyed, and the bite I had was on the mark. With a bag of chips and a drink it makes for a fast and enjoyable little meal. The Grumpy Dog is a winner. read more

Date night at the Dog tonight - first time there. Cute little place - looks like an old gas station maybe? Food - fun selection of hot dogs and pretty basic selection of potato chips. Had some desserts and salads too.....but we really only paid attention to the dogs. Had a Grumpy (basic - onions and chili) and the Kraut (sauerkraut. Onions and chili). Buns were fresh and the toppings plentiful. Have to eat with a fork and knife. Bottled Coke products. Pricing was good - $5-6 for the dog and buy 2 get a free bag of chips. We had 2 dogs, bag of chips and 2 bottled cokes for $15. Seating inside and some picnic tables under the metal awning out front. Only negative was that they use styrofoam plates. Ugh. read more

Good service, minimal waiting time, and the food they serve especially the Frito Dog was a 10/10! Very good local place to try in Wetumpka Another suggestion I'll give is to try the frito bowl! read more

Absolutely did not disappoint. We had texas ranger, grouchy and munchies. All delicious! Banana pudding off the charts. Even got a couple plain dogs for our dogs!!! Service super friendly and gracious. Will definitely make this our stop when coming through town! Thank you!! read more

Whoever the girls are working today , they need a pep up. We got no hello. When standing to order, we didn't order because she didn't say one word to us, so we weren't sure she was ready .... She was handed a plate by the girl prepping the food , to which she looked at us, handed us the plate and pointed at the guy behind us. We were like "are you asking us to hand this to him?" So we did. Then she said NOTHING. So we stood there ... and said "UHM YOU CAN GO NOW"... Hot dog is cold, bland. You can get a better hot dog at Sams or Costco honestly. Nothing special here. What really ruined it for me though was the service. I'd come back but now I know it's not worth based on service alone. Dining area is boring , no music playing. read more

I do not eat hot dogs and that's the end of that! So when I was taken to Grumpy Dog, you can imagine how displeased I was thinking I wasn't going to get to eat. Well they have a salad or two but the Chicken salad sandwich is what I went for and it was delicious! Now I go by GD and grab a chicken salad sandwich, chips and a drink. It's a small comfortable setting. He's a really great guy as well. And if you love hotdogs he has every kind and this is the place for you! If you love Chicken salad then this also the place for you!! read more

In the middle of downtown Wetumpka so finding parking can be challenging. A lot of people touring downtown shops. Grumpy Dog is very small with limited seating. Dogs are made on the counter behind register so wait isn't long. Dogs were decent not anything special but they do have a variety of toppings. If you're looking for something quick & easy, this is it. read more

The hot dogs are good and they are very quick because everything is already made. They just prepare the dog the way you want it and hand it to you. Nice little seating area outside when the weather is good (watch out for bees though). read more

This place is only open till 4. They need to change there hours . On here . So people that drive long distances. Can eat there .

Always a good meal at Grumpy Dog! Their daily salad specials are usually outstanding. Today, the Berry Chicken Salad was no exception. Also got a jerk chicken wrap which had good feedback. Love small town Wetumpka and supporting a small local business! read more

Came here initially because I wanted something quick and easy and I enjoyed jt enough that I've been back a few times since. Very simple idea but they do it well. Don't come here if your looking for "keto" or trying to count your calories but if you're trying to enjoy your food like you could when you were a kid, definitely check this place out. read more

Delicious, every time! Easily the best hot dogs anywhere. I cannot go to Wetumpka without a stop for Grumpy Dogs.

The best service and hot dogs! They are always so kind and courteous and their food is so good! Not in the mood for a hot dog? They have daily specials to mix it up- salads and wraps and I've never gotten something I didn't like. Cutest little building with indoor or outdoor seating. read more

Much hype but the dog was just mediocre. I always get slaw on my dogs so I ordered slaw on the side. The slaw actually looked and tasted like potato salad but with cabbage. Go figure. We'll pass on this place next time. read more

Eating here today (July 5, 2021) was a delight! The specials of the day included a nice chicken salad with pecans and Italian sausages with sautéed peppers and onions.

My grandmother and I both love Grumpy Dog! She had the Frito Bandito and I had the Classic. We both think they are the best hot dogs we've ever had. The slaw on the classic is amazing. Their is amazing as well. Friendly service, fast service, affordable prices, and amazing food! What more can you ask for? I highly recommend! read more

This is the HOT DOG place to go. I'm not sure how people eat anything else if they live in Wetumpka. We had the frito, southern, all the way, kraut and Chicago dogs. They were all delicious. Cute little place with outside seating. Order two dogs and get free chips. read more

This place has a couple of decent low-carb options, but it's really geared toward this so don't care if what they eat is healthy or not. I've never had anything bad, but I stick mainly to the salads. Friends tell me the hotdogs and burgers are pretty good. Very casual setting. read more

This place is the BESST for a hotdog that is robust and packed with flavor. The difference that makes Grumpy Dog better than many is the FRESH CLEAN and HIGH standards that are represented not only in the environment, but the flavor and taste which made us love it! read more

The small but homey feel is a must see! The owner is very courteous and helpful. The food is GREAT, haven't eaten anything that i didn't like. Myself favorite is the Conecuh Dog!!! Delicious!! Upon the first time ordering i was completely Shocked by the fact that he served dogs as you like them and my preference is like I said the conecuh dog and a few spoons of coleslaw. Don't knock it till you've tried it! Love this place!!! read more

One of the best local restaurants you can find in Wetumpka. Keep it simple and stick with the Grumpy Dog. Good grub in a convenient spot.

Great big messy hot dogs that eat like a sandwich. Anything with Conecuh sausage is good, but the dog was quite excellent as a whole. The Chicago Dog was solid as well. Tucked away in a corner old downtown Wetumpka, I'll be swinging through again to try another concoction from the menu. Blackboard specials are also available. read more
