19 Best Hot Dogs in Birmingham

“The Chicken Philly is my absolute favorite!!“

“Princeton Alternative Elementary School hired Gus's to cater an outside "tailgating" experience for about 200 students, staff, and parents. Lee and his staff member exceeded our expectations. They were timely, prepared, and eager to help us in any capacity. They served everyone with a smile and pleasant attitude. Our event was a success because of the delicious food and excellent service. We are so glad to have found a partner in Gus's and look forward to having them at future events.“

“Came in for a quick lunch with my husband before a movie! We really enjoyed our double bacon burgers. 🍔 if you are thinking about getting some fry’s just do it!“

“Bought a hot dog..it grew legs and arms and attacked me with great speed..it opened its mouth revealing 52,652 sharp teeth and took a bite out of me like I was the hot dog all other customers sat there and watched it happen… cops show up and try to pry it off me but nothing worked.. forever traumatized. Overall great experience!“

“The burgers and fries are always fresh and deliciously crafted. I order online and pick up for my husband's (and my) dinner an average of once a week. My husband never gets tired of it and would rather have a burger from Craft Burger than from any other restaurant in town!“

“Ah-mazinnnggggggg!!!!!! Very quick, very good, very nice man. It was pouring rain and we were waiting for a concert to start back up. I absolutely loved everything about this food truck. Makes me wish I was a local😔. We don't have burgers like that back in the 850 Florida area. I will be back....might just come back for a burger haha. Again...keep it up it was delicious!!!!! So..soo...sooooo good 😫❤️❤️“

“I've been driving past this place for months and thought I needed to try it. Today was the day, Chili Cheese dogs for me and Slaw dogs for a co-worker. Fries and Tots too, both of out meals were good, friendly people behind the counter too. Looks like they have a good variety of other standards for this type of small restaurant. I/we'll be back soon. Thanks Guys.“

“Great food and a great atmosphere along with speedy service-what more does anyone need??“

“You walk in the door and this incredible scent lures you upstairs to the coolest Japanese bistro I've ever seen. Pick up the phone in the phone booth to gain passage to a legit 1920s speakeasy. Beautiful music playing, cocktails. I never want to leave.“

“Atmosphere was good, service was quick. Decent burger but nothing extraordinary.“

“We wanted a unique and local place. A hole in the wall if you will. The store front said this is it. When you walk in it doesn't look like a sit down restaurant, and there aren't many seats. Ms Dawson greets you from behind a wall and comes around to take your order. Plan to be patient as she cooks it fresh and is a solo operator. The burger was well worth the wait. Definitely give it a shot for lunch.. just don't be in a hurry.“

“Stumbled into this place and it was delicious. Two classics with fries, all very tasty. Cute little diner feel with Mario being very sweet with excellent customer service. Manager even came out and checked on everyone dining. This must be what it was like back in the day when customer service was always top priority and the food reasonably priced and authentically made to order.“

“I've been eating Sneaky Pete's hotdog since I was a little kid. The food is great, but it's much more than that. It's more than just a hot dog restaurant, it's a Birmingham icon. Everyone from here and travels through here should have a Sneaky Pete's hot dog.“

“It had been a long time since we had a sneaky Pete's hot dog, so, we stopped at a drive thru at Forestdale. I got two chili cheese 🧀 dogs with fries 🍟, my wife got two sneaky Pete's, and i ate one.of them! They were really good and the 🍟 were hot 🔥 it was just a good lunch! People at.the window were very nice and I could see inside the kitchen, my truck sits really high, it.was.very clean. Give sneaky Pete's a try, I think you will enjoy it! Nuff said..“

“I picked up my take out order. I told the staff I needed the strawberry shake. I was told a couple minutes later it was in the bag. I checked and I could see the top of the cup so I left. Got home and it was vanilla. My husband ordered the hot ones burger and there was a quarter size of sauce in the middle of the top bun. His burger was basically dry. My bacon burger was cooked too long, part of it was not edible because it was hard as a rock. This was my first time coming here and I don't plan on returning.“

“I enjoyed my burger there both times I visited. A hot, double patty with fresh, chilled fixings. Good tea as well. It's right around the corner from the North Pavillion of UAB.

I'd recommend ya stop in if you're around there. Spent $14 for the meal, and it was worth it.“

“First time there , I ordered a cheese burger the condiments were great not the burger meat way over cooked hard as a rock and tasted like a charcoal briquette very disappointed ..“

“Food was a bit bland but still good. Loved the Christmas decor and got to take pictures with the snowman! Awesome caus I don't believe in Santa. Yeah, I know. No elves bringing my toys, right?!
