I had a Greek salad that was very tasty, but no meat on it - didn't realize that when I ordered it. I would have preferred chicken, but still a good salad. The Cuban looked amazing.

Gus's Hot Dogs is a long established restaurant with several locations in the Birmingham, Alabama…read morearea. The restaurant, as the name would imply, specialize in hot dogs, but they also have burgers, sandwiches, french fries, onion rings and the usual assortment of menu items that you would associate with this kind of restaurant. I had never been to their Irondale, Alabama location before, but business took me to the area and it was around lunchtime, so long story short, I had a hot dog for lunch. I went with their super chili dog, which is a quarter pound hot dog, onions and mustard. Unlike a lot of hot dog places in the south that rely on cheap hot dogs made with poultry as a key ingredient (the term mechanically separated chicken is by no means an appealing term), Gus's Hot Dogs use a quality hot dog and you can really tell by the taste. They also were pretty liberal with the chili, so just the hot dog was a pretty satisfying lunch (I am currently trying to drop a few pounds, so no french fries or onion rings on this meal). The service was extremely friendly and while the interior was nothing special or fancy, it was clean and relatively comfortable. All in all, if you are in the Birmingham, Alabama area, I would recommend a visit to Gus's Hot Dogs. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I tried the burger and fries, and they were delish. The burger had excellent flavor. One thing to note is that there is not much seating inside- one table and then bar-style seating by the windows.

As I walked in the bartender yells at me, "What part of banned for life don't you understand....?" Fortunately, the PTSD keeping me on perpetual edge kicked in immediately and I responded, "Hey you're wearing my t-shirt you... give it back. And, how can I be banned from a place I've never been before?" The bartender and I then got down to the long history of Marty's PM (formally in Five Points), the legal and jurisdictional control of lifetime bans, and general 'long time no see, how you been?' chit chat. The place is situated in a nearly empty strip mall, which gives it a slightly post-apocalyptic vibe. It was nevertheless pretty crowded. They seem to be serving the same healthcare professionals/biker crowd that used to populate the 5-points version back in the day. I didn't try the food, but it looked pretty good. The prior version had one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches to be found. My only knock on the place would be the lack of draft beers. I toughed it out drinking Jack and Cokes. It's a little out of the way for me, but I suspect I'll be back sooner rather than later.

The space itself is beautiful--clean, intentional, and unique--with visual nods to milling and baking traditions. You can see elements of the mill and wheat motifs in the background, which adds a quiet sense of craftsmanship and history without feeling staged. The pastries are exceptional. Their croissants are perfectly flaky and buttery, the sourdough is deeply flavorful, and the morning buns strike that ideal balance of richness and warmth. The baguette is crisp on the outside, tender inside--everything you want it to be. Every item feels carefully made, never rushed. What stands out most is the consistency and care. Breadworks manages to feel elevated yet welcoming--refined without being pretentious. It's clear they take pride in both their craft and their process, and it shows in every bite. A true standout in Birmingham and absolutely worth returning to.

Hidden gem alert. I…read moredon't know how I never knew about this place but I found it recently and I'm glad I did. Old school lunch counter vibes with a limited menu of a few things that they do really well, the burger being the main attraction. Pro tip on that burger: don't order a double. It's too big. The single burger is a substantial portion and will do the job of filling you up no matter how hungry you are. Plenty of indoor seating, private parking lot, near the airport, and the place is run by an older couple who have apparently been in business here for decades, perfecting the art of burger making. If you're doing a tour of local burger joints or you're near the airport looking for some real food, this place needs to be on your radar. Don't be hungry in this area and pass it by.
