It was on the smaller side but that could also be because I took off toppings. The service was neither good nor bad. It did not stand out but they did there job. I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs but I do think it's a nice plain one. I'm not a picky eater but I have just never been a huge fan of the toppings they put on hotdogs. Next time, I think I'll braver and give the chili cheese dog a try! I would definitely recommend this place if you re a fan of hot dogs as they have so much to choose from! UAB gives these out a lot at the beginning of the semester. It was nice trying it a bit warmer this time. Usually when we would try them they were a bit colder. They were still pretty good but trying them fresh definitely makes a difference!

Blvd in Birmingham. Well known spot where you can find a quick bite to eat on the go or to sit down. If I can remember correctly some of their locations does not always have sit downs but this one does. Have never left unsatisfied and the service is ok. Very affordable to most. Not the best but not the worst. They have so many options available, when it comes to choosing a hot dog. I do love the Bratzilla . This is serve on a hoagie bun with roasted onions, green and red peppers . A spread of hot mustard and the famous Sneaky Pete's sauce. I did try the slaw dog. Wanted to see what it was all about. I must say that it was delicious. This comes with coleslaw, ketchup and mustard. I really enjoyed it.

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.

Service was okay, though when I asked what kind of hot dogs they used, they had no clue. I ordered two hot dogs. The total was over eight dollars and honestly, the hot dogs were not good. The chili was weak and the meat topping looked and tasted like it had been out way too long. The hot dogs were also low quality. The ambiance was decent enough. I can't see myself returning.

I had been trying to get my hands on some Sol's since before Easter. Unfortunately, they don't answer their phones. So annoying! The day I visited for lunch, it was packed. I placed my order at the counter and they call out your order when it's ready. This could cause some confusion. What if multiple people ordered the same thing?! I had no issue with my order but there's definitely a more effective way...... My 2 hotdogs (well done) all the way were fantastic!!. Fries were just okay. Skinny and borderline greasy. I still ate them all up! lol Next time I will dine in instead of eating in the car. Highly recommend. You are certain to take in the rich history they have created within the walls of Sol's hotdogs!

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!

I wish we had one in HSV guess I'll have to drive back just for the burgers lol. They also serve different styles of hotdogs and fried pies for dessert. They have a few beer options and fountain drinks. Our food came out quickly and the whole place had a funky cool vibe.

They have a wide variety of specialty burgers, hot dogs, and sides, and I feel that I could try something new every time I come here. I chose to order the Vulcan hot dog, named after an infamous monument of Birmingham. I love how they have so many different types of hot dogs with varying toppings to make your order truly personalized. I chose the spicy option with jalapeños and it did not disappoint! Also, these are the best fries I have had in Birmingham if you are looking for a plant-based option here. When I ordered, I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome. She told me it would be right out, and my order was given to me within 5 minutes. Besides the great food, the ambience is the best part of this place! There is an upstairs area with additional seating, and the interior of the restaurant is covered with vintage, American decor. The walls and decorations really sell the All-American vibe associated with burgers and hot dogs. If you are looking for a new, local burger spot that feels like home this is a great option!

Today, I had to opportunity to try Wicked Wieners Food Trailer in Birmingham, AL. UAB Hospital…read moreoffers different food trucks during the weekday at the Spain Wallace building, so they were scheduled today, which was great to be in close proximity to them. For the trailer to be a smaller size, the menu options were grand to me. They offered not just hotdogs, but Conecuh sausage dogs, wicked nachos or fries (loaded with beef, bacon, cheese, peppers and sauce). The trailer has a protective screen with a magnetic opening that provided bug protection from the food, which I appreciated. The owner was very friendly. You could tell he knew the menu like 2nd nature because the food came of within 5 minutes of me ordering my combo. I ordered a specialty combo, which featured 2 Bamweini hotdogs, fries and a canned drink. The combo was $15 and I was able to add cheese and beef to the fries as well for an upcharge. Altogether, my total as $22, which included tax. To me, the price was a bit steep for lunch, however paying for the convenience was the balancing part. There was an option to upgrade to a juice for $2.00 more but I didn't see any advertised as available as in the past. One pointer was the drink options were only standard sodas, not zero sugar options were available. The food quality definitely had increased from my previous visit. The food was served in a Styrofoam container, able to fit both dogs and fries in the same container. The food came with individual packets of ketchup and a napkin wrapped fork. The dogs were all-beef dogs and grilled to perfection. The buns were Sara Lee buns and able to hold the tops nicely. The toppings were fresh, crisp and you could tell that the chili was made that day, which I appreciated. The fries were homemade hand-cut fries that were dropped fresh when I ordered. The cheese and ground beef I had added to the fries were seasoned as well. The only drawback was as the fries sat in the container, the grease from the fries saturated the bottom of the fries, so I didn't eat the end of them. Overall, the food and service were good and I will return again! -DASC

The owner, who is usually on the truck, is super friendly and offers a frequent buyer card that gets punched on your visits. The only complaint I have is the cost. I pay around $17-$21 for my food, depending on if I get the juice, and that's kinda pricey for the amount of food. There are cheaper options available though. I'm gonna try the regular hot dogs on my next visit. Give them a try when you're in the mood for a good dog but be prepared to pay a little more for it.
