The staff were amazing. & so accommodating. The Birmingham restaurant week special is a great deal. You get to select two hotdogs, chips & drink for $14. The food is made to order & was so delicious. We dined inside but it is small so keep this is mind. You can opt to dine outside also. I hadn't been here in 5 years, which is wild. I always love a good hotdog & Gus's never disappoints. I highly recommended checking out their Birmingham restaurant week special!! Street parking is the only option so plan accordingly.

I chose to visit Tony's Hot Dogs in Birmingham. I dined in for lunch to get the full experience…read more Tony's is a small, no frills local restaurant that feels very rooted in Birmingham's history. The atmosphere is casual and nostalgic, with regular customers coming in and staff who clearly know many of them by name. It has that classic American hot dog stand feel that reflects a long standing Southern food culture. I ordered a classic hot dog with chili and mustard, fries, and a drink. The food was simple, affordable, and filling. From a public health perspective, this type of restaurant represents traditional comfort food that is high in sodium and processed meats, which we know can contribute to chronic disease when eaten frequently. However, it also plays an important role in community identity and accessibility. The prices are reasonable, making it an option for people looking for a quick, inexpensive meal. Overall, Tony's reflects how cuisine culture is not just about nutrition, but also about tradition, affordability, and local history. It was a solid experience and a good example of how food connects people in a community.

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.

Grumpy Dog usually isn't "disgusting" per se. It's just not good. Ultimately the price for what…read moreyou'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.

The menu is burgers, hotdogs, sausage dogs, loaded fries and nachos, funnel cakes, fried Oreos...stuff like you get at the fair. My favorite is their loaded sausage dog and loaded fries (sorry I can't remember the name) but awesome and very filling. Second of all, I love the story behind this place. This business was started by someone locally wanting to help teens in his community learn how to earn. So it's worked and managed by teens with someone overseeing. I love this idea! So support these guys and go get a hotdog! That's My Dog!

Long standing hole in the wall burger/hot dog joint with consistent execution in both service and…read morefood quality. This place has been around for a long time and is near UAB West and the Academy Drive exit from the freeway. If you're passing through and looking for a quick lunch, skip the fast food places and come here. The place is clean and tidy, a little bustling around lunchtime, and cooks the food to order so everything comes out fresh and hot. They've got some indoor seating and a few tables outside in case the weather is nice. Hot dogs, burgers, even a bologna sandwich on the menu. I'm recommending the burger because each time I've had it, it's been great. Don't think twice about it. Get the burger. Friendly people, quick service, clean environment, good food, and a local business if I've ever seen one. Definitely give them a shot.

The response came from the Google post I left. Hi Daniel,…read more Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I'm very sorry for what happened and appreciate you bringing it to my attention. After reviewing your comment, I believe the total was incorrect because our employee accidentally rang up the large fries twice. That was our mistake, and I sincerely apologize for the confusion. More importantly, I'm sorry that your concern was not handled with the professionalism and respect you deserved. If a customer has a question about an order, we should always take the time to review it courteously and resolve it. I would appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please contact me directly at le@debhotdogs.com or (205) 767-9026 so I can personally apologize and make things right for you. Thank you again for your feedback. It helps us coach our team and improve, and I hope you'll give us another chance to provide the experience we're known for. I posted this in response- My response to the owner- Not only does your employee not know mathematics, but the scenario of ringing up the fries twice does not calculate either. Let's go over your reply. $8.10 + $2.79 + $2.79= $13.68 I will be generous with a 10% tax rate. $13.68 X .10 = $13.68 + $1.37 = $15.05 Even your employee showed me the register total, and it equated to $16 & change. I do not know what kind of operation you are running, but I can say with absolute certainty that there are obvious mathematical issues and questionable practices. I decline your apology and your contrived excuse. I would rather seek a business that treats customers honestly. I posted this on Yelp because honest experiences I have can be deleted by Google if the owner feels they are being marred. It is not ok to delete honest comments. If a business treats a customer with dishonesty, it is not ok to protect them and indemnify them from the truth as seen by the offended. This post reflects that the owner acknowledges my complaint but offered some contrived excuse that just did not pass the smell test. If this owner tries to bring legal action against me, this will be evidence to their admission of the incident and Yelp allows honest posts unlike the Google and others that rather protect the business. I am and always will be a user and advocate for Yelp and its integrity.
