My coworker said, "They have good burgers!" and it just hit me, I was in the mood for a good burger. They remind me of Five Guys: menu looked a bit similar but I think this place charges extra for some things (avocado, etc.) and everything is made to order. I got the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, no extras, with a Coke Zero (can). There was no one in line, so I was waited on promptly. It took a few minutes to prepare, which was completely fine, and it was totally worth it. It was SO good! The patties were thick and it was just seriously one of the best burgers I've had in a while! I need to remember this place the next time I'm at the Pitzitz Food Hall!

I wasn't super impressed with the hot dog. The fries were good and hot. The Birmingham dog came with beef sauce, onions and kraut. I was expecting the beef sauce to be more saucy. It was more like seasoned ground beef on top. I felt like it needed a special sauce... or something. But overall I spent a total of $9... so, still worth the try. And at least the cashier was nice today. I will be back, I'll stick to those yummy burgers though!

I've seen them in various parts of town so chances are you've seen them around the Birmingham area at least once or twice. Known for their burgers and polish dogs the menu serves up delicious food that's saucy and fresh. They even have some vegan options for you. My go to is the polish dog that comes with a welcomed large polish sausage, onions and peppers drenched in their special sauce. The polish sausage is thick and seasoned with garlic. The hot dog bun and everything in between is a must try!

Big portions of familiar, messy, delicious things, a compact menu, and quick friendly service. It has been around for so long that it's something of an anchor of the local food truck scene, and those who've eaten anything from it probably all hope it sticks around for a long time. It's meat-forward. Big polish sausage dogs covered in chili/debris/perfectly sautéed onions, burgers that are dripping with goodness and heavy when you pick them up. Fries that are always crisp and piping hot. Long term consistent execution. As sure a thing as you're gonna get from a truck. If you see it, and you're hungry, consider yourself blessed.

It's been 27 years since I last had Gus' Hot Dogs; back from 1995 to 1999, I ate there five days a…read moreweek. I switched jobs and never made it back until today. Back in the day, Gus' had the best hot dogs this side of The Varsity in Atlanta. I finally made it back today and got the two-hot-dog meal--mustard only--with fries and a drink. Even though it's a new owner, nothing has changed; they're still just as great. I completely forgot how amazing the fries were; nobody beats Gus' on fries. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready, which took about four minutes. I'm guessing the guy taking orders is the owner; he's super friendly. I got there around 11 a.m. and there was a steady stream of customers the whole 30 minutes I was there. They seemed to know everyone's name, which is a sign of good food--plenty of regulars! Overall, it tastes just like I remember. If I had to pick three things for my last meal, Gus' Hot Dogs would definitely be on the list.

Any time I get the opportunity to grab something from Stephen's, I do. For it to be a hotdog food truck the menu is quite diverse, and the service cannot be beaten. I appreciate the cleanliness and overall professionalism of the staff and can honestly say I have never had a bad experience with them. I'm not really a big hot dog fan but there is not one thing on this wagon I've tried that I haven't loved. My personal favorite is "The Jordan" and not just because it is named after my high school alma mater; the homemade kraut sauce makes it a winner! I highly recommend giving them a try, you will be happy you did!

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.

Best burger in Birmingham!! Yes that is a bold statement, but I stand by it…read more The burgers here are LEGIT. And they are consistently GOOD. We eat here A LOT. Probably 3-4 times a month with our family of 5. We've likely had everything on the menu. And it's all just really very good. Literally all of it. I'm a big foodie, so I don't just throw around this kind of truth . It's rare that a restaurant is consistent in the food quality, but The Ridge has it. It has that old school "Cheers" kind of vibe. They remember names, they make jokes, they have fun- the staff is just fantastic. It's why you see a lot of the same customers in there on a Friday night. The draft beer selection changes frequently and there's always a lot of good choices. The fries recently changed and they are fried potato PERFECTION. But the fries before that were also excellent (and so were the fries before that ) If you want good food, this is where you go! Our favorites: The Rebel Yell The Ridgeline Flank Steak Salad, sliced thin Cahaba King Jam Gouda burger (also try it with chicken) Nashville hot fingers Fried fish tacos
