I discovered this mobile hot dog cart business on Facebook a month or so ago. I love a good hot…read moredog and I love a local business, so I knew I had to chase them down and try one for myself. The menu is simple but highly creative. You can build your own hot dog with a variety of toppings (classics, like ketchup or mustard, are free; premium, like peppers and onions or pineapple relish, are .75 cents) or you can order one of the chef's specialty dogs. By default, the dogs are enormous, savory, and all beef, but you can change to a sausage dog for an upcharge if that's more your flavor. Specialty dogs run between $7-$8, depending on the number and type of toppings. Each one is named after an iconic or well traveled road in Huntsville, which is a great tie-in to their name and theme. You can buy chips on the side, but we all found the dogs to be a more than ample lunchtime meal, and worth the price. My parents and I had the 431 (pineapple relish, bacon bits, peppers and onions), the South Parkway (a tricked out chili cheese), and the Monte Sano (brown mustard, kraut, pickle relish, bacon bits). Each one was delish, piled high with toppings, and made fresh to order. It's obvious the owner is thoughtful and particular about the toppings. The bacon bits were real, freshly chopped, crispy and fatty bacon -- not the kind you buy in a package at the store. Astoundingly, the buns held up to all the goodies piled on top. If you're too intimated to eat with your hands, forks and a multitude of napkins are at your disposal. The owner was there slinging dogs himself and we had a good time chatting with him. He and his wife run the operation by themselves, and it's nice to see and interact directly with the people who benefit from your business. He was very nice and did an excellent job preparing our food and telling us about his product. You can reliably find their weekly schedule posted on Facebook. They're often at Parkway Scrubs for lunch and also appear at local breweries and events for dinner, but don't take my word for it -- find their page and hunt down this cool little cart.

College Staple - Late Night Gold…read more There's just something about a college town spot like this. After a night out, you end up at Chicago Cafe like it was meant to happen. This food is excellent and honestly one of a kind for what it is. Prices are dirt cheap, but the quality is way better than you'd expect. If you go, get the classic sweet heat dog, the meat lovers pizza with ranch, and a Pepsi Zero. That combo doesn't miss. It's the perfect place for lunch, a midnight snack, or just hanging with friends. Seating is limited, but you can usually find a spot. Overall: 5/5 this place has my heart.

I ordered one of the more popular items (because I asked) the chili dog with onions and mustard - it hit the spot! The bun was steamy soft. The combo included crinkle fries. The fries were the crinkle variety and served piping hot, fried golden crispy and seasoned well. Yes, it's a bit of a well worn hole in the wall as described by some Yelpers, but I discovered that's because its well loved. There was a contestant stream of customer at mid afternoon - old, young and everyone in between, and the employees seemed to know many of them. I will certainly return to try their hamburger!

Tony's Hot Dogs in Birmingham is the kind of place you'd drive past a hundred times if you didn't…read moreknow better. No frills. No gimmicks. Just a tiny, iconic hole in the wall that exists for one reason: to serve hot dogs that mean business. When you walk in, you already know you're not here for the décor. You're here because you're craving a hot dog and you want it done right. I ordered the Chicago dog, which showed up looking like it had zero intention of fitting politely inside its bun. This thing was juicy, oversized, and required a concerning amount of napkins. The pickles were crisp, the peppers had the right bite, the mustard was exactly what it should be. Everything hit. The only thing missing was that neon green relish that looks radioactive but somehow makes a Chicago dog official. I kind of missed it. A little. Then I got adventurous. Mistake number one. I ordered the Beef Sandwich, what I can only describe as a sloppy joe with a pickle on top. It sounded bold. It tasted... fine. Not terrible. Not memorable. Just sort of there. It's like I betrayed the hot dog gods and they let me know. My colleague went with the burger, which Tony's is apparently campaigning as "best of" material with the local news crowd. He said it was decent and a great value. High praise in burger language. Now the onion rings? Absolute perfection. Crispy, golden, and cooked exactly the way onion rings should be cooked. No notes. If I had stuck strictly to the hot dogs, this would've been an easy five-star situation. But I strayed. That's on me. Four stars. Next time, I'm staying loyal to the dogs.

Day number 3 of food reviews from this year's Birmingham Restaurant Week and honestly this one is…read morevery disappointing. This is on Stephen's Dogs and More. Once again anytime I review a new place I do my best to have at least one other person try it and this time it was a total of 4 of us. Yes 4 unsatisfied customers. I do not get joy out of posting bad reviews but it is what it is. We all ordered the same hotdogs The Blue Devil and The Jordan. Let's start with The Blue Devil it's just a chili cheese dog with just chili and cheese no onion no mustard how most usually come. First bit it was okay nothing special the hotdogs was lukewarm and the chili tasted like straight out of a can and the cheese was cold and not melted and a bun pulled right out of the bag so wasn't toasted or steamed almost stale tasting. Super disappointing. 5/10 The next one was The Jordan which consisted of Kraut Sauce (Kraut, Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, Onions). Same boiled hotdog same tasting bun but the Kraut sauce helped a lot. This was actually really good and a step up from the last one but unfortunately it was also lukewarm. 6/10 Stati Jones had this to say "I could make that at home myself. 6/10" Rashad Caldwell also had this to say "My thoughts on the Hot dog food truck is it taste like something I can cook at home really the chili cheese dog taste like store bought like out of a can and the other one it tasted decent. I give it a 3/10." Unfortunately Anthony W Evans II didn't make the deadline to send in his thoughts because he was stuck protecting and serving but just no he didn't really enjoy it and said never again. All in all I think it's safe to say we will never try this again unless something changes. It felt like there was no love no care for their product and I hate that because we are huge hotdog fans and we left feeling disappointed. When I go to a food truck or restaurant that sells hotdogs I don't want something that taste like I made it at home thats why I choose to go to a Gus's Hot Dogs or a Tonys Hot Dogs or even a Sneaky Petes and an honorable mention to Paul's Hotdogs & Grill Inc. I want something I can't recruit at home. But hey I personally wouldn't recommend it but if you'd like to try them for yourself, then check this place out.

Service was okay, though when I asked what kind of hot dogs they used, they had no clue. I ordered two hot dogs. The total was over eight dollars and honestly, the hot dogs were not good. The chili was weak and the meat topping looked and tasted like it had been out way too long. The hot dogs were also low quality. The ambiance was decent enough. I can't see myself returning.
