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!

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.

Limited menu, which is not a bad thing. Pick your "thing" and do it well and you will succeed. We chose the cheeseburger and the craft burger with tater tots and seasoned fries. We grabbed a drink and a high top table while we waited. They seemed fairly busy for a Thursday evening but they moved quickly and served efficiently. After about 10 minutes our order was brought to our table. Season fries had garlic and Parmesan. Hit and crispy, they were excellent. Burgers were juicy and well seasoned. Veggies were fresh and tasty. Craft sauce was mayo based and had a nice flavor. Tater tots were fresh and hot. Overall the meal was excellent! Loved the burger. Staff were helpful and friendly. Highly recommend, not overpriced like most specialty burger restaurants. Will be back!

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!

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.

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.

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.
