I experienced SUPER friendly service from the time I entered. The staff here is great , even during the busy lunch rush! My order was taken quickly and it didn't take long for me to get my food. Hot and freshly made, my food was DELISH! The restaurant was pretty clean but my table was a little sticky. I got it all cleaned up though. No worries. This was my first time at this location. It's located in a busy strip mall but I didn't have any issues getting in and out. read more

2.5 is closer to our experience but...for now....politeness of staff earns the full 3 stars. I had hoped it might have been worthy of more...but 'twas not to be. I'm always on the look out for a good American Classic Dog, especially with local variations. The description of Sneaky Pete's on Yelp reviews and on their website (it's a popular chain) led me to this venue. Alas! This one did not "cut the mustard" (as the old adage goes). Servers behind the counter were super polite....but a tiny bit inattentive or were poor communicators behind the line. (Was it my Tennessee accent? nah, I doubt it.) Wife, who is a minimalist at heart, ordered her "regular" -- which is usually a plain hot dog on a bun with mustard and onions. No gimmicks, nothing fancy. I ordered "The Original" smoked sausage that came covered with mustard, sautéed onions & kraut plus Sneaky Pete's Sauce. The counter attendant asked, "you want that "all the way?" I blithely answered, "yes, plus a side order of medium fries". Well, Yelpers, it didn't quite happen that way. I got 2 smoked sausages (or dogs?) couldn't tell for sure ... on buns...one with mustard and onion (and lathered with sauce) and the other "all the way" with all the fixins' and Pete's Sneaky sauce. My wife's plain and simple mustard and onion dog came with mustard and onions and slathered in unwanted sauce. Fries came out later HOT and crispy. Likely the best part of our lunch. Dogs and sausage were definitely tender but lacked any smoky "punch." And unfortunately, all were smothered in Pete's sneaky, thin, watery tomato-based sweet stuff. Finally....I had ordered Pepsi ... but was served weak tea instead. Sorry, a lot of hype for little substance....albeit with FAIR prices. read more

The food is always great and cooked to order. One of the employees has a nasty disposition and attitude, which drops my rating to three stars. I will most certainly grab lunch here in the future but not as often as I would like. I have a low tolerance for rudeness. read more

I visited this Sneaky Pete's by my house for the very first time. I ordered a bacon cheddar dog combo, which came with two hot dogs, fries, and a drink. The hot dogs were pretty good, but I did think the one strip of bacon laying on top of the dog was not a good choice. Biting into the hot dog, it was not a clean bite due to the strip of bacon. I would suggest chopping the bacon into smaller pieces to make the hot dog easier to eat. The price was around $10 for the meal, which I do not think is bad because the meal did fill me up. The cashier was very nice and got my order ready in a timely manner. read more

The only Sneaky Pete's that ever messed up my order. I ordered a JYD with no onions and grilled onions, open the container and first thing I see is guess what RELISH . Now I have to sit here and scrape all this relish off of my JYD so I can eat it. People really should listen when taking customer orders. Even though he repeated it to me. Ugh read more

My mom has been in love with Sneaky Pete's for years, and I never liked them growing up. I realized I just do not like sauerkraut but I LOVE Sneaky Pete's. As soon as I walked in, the staff was so welcoming and patient. I got a chili cheese combo which included 2 hot dogs, fries, and a soft drink. The food was quickly made and I also got a recommendation to put taco sauce on my chili cheese hot dog... which was AMAZING! The establishment was so clean! It was the first thing I noticed. The workers really made the atmosphere of the place, we constantly had conversations even after I ordered my food. There were not any COVID-19 precautions in this establishment. Overall, I have to go back, I want to try their fried pies next time! read more

Haven't been here in years after living in Huntsville for nearly 20 years. I use to cut my aunt's mother's grass close to Eastwood mall lots of years ago and part of my pay was Sneaky Pete's. I would get a junkyard dog and cheeseburger every time. This trip I got the junkyard dog to go and yes it is still awesome as far as hotdogs go. One of the best processed foods ever. Next time in the Ham I'll be back for a dog. read more

A Birmingham staple! Love the sauce. Love the fries. It's a great quick lunch or dinner :)

I love Sneaky Pete's and have for 40 years. Love the original with beef sauce. It's still delicious. We need a Sneaky Pete's in Huntsville.

I choose to eat at this Sneaky Pete's because Ive heard great things about the food plus I've never been. I was honestly back and forth on what to rate this place because I thought the customer service was AMAZING here but I didn't absolutely love the food and not all the workers were wearing gloves which really made me want to give the restaurant less than a 3. However, the 3 workers were all very nice, patient, and welcoming. My boyfriend and I ordered a bacon hotdog and a sausage dog each. I'm not going to lie I'm a picky eater and don't usually like a bunch of things on hotdogs so I didn't get most of the toppings that usually come on each of them. My order was very fresh and I only waited about 10-15 minutes. Therefore, I decided to give the restaurant a 4 out of 5. This location offers both dine-in and takeout. As far as following Covid precautions goes, the restaurant seems to follows some. For example, they don't allow refills, every employee was wearing their mask correctly, and there is a sign that says masks are required for entry. However, there is not much space inside the restaurant which means it's hard to keep 6 feet from each other at all times and there are no signs to help people avoid contact with others. When considering sustainability this restaurant does better than most considering they use mostly paper products instead of plastic. read more

Sneaky Pete's is a dinky little Alabama-based hotdog franchise that will satisfy a junk food craving. They are usually hole in the wall establishments. The famous Sneaky Pete's sauce is simple and delicious, not overpowering. My husband and I tried to visit this particular location several times but they close pretty early. When we finally arrived during operating hours we were pleasantly greeted by all of the staff. The 'cook' took our order without writing a thing down (and we ordered several items) and it all came out accurate. The owner was super nice and spoke to everyone as if they were friends. He even admitted that his wife was really the one who ran the show, smart man. As I said, this is a place to satisfy a junk food craving. Don't go expecting the highest quality, gourmet food but do go expecting good service and tasty dogs. read more

I am a hotdog connoisseur and I have eaten at a lot of sneaky Pete's hotdogs. I gave this store 3 attempts 2 months apart. Thinking maybe because of the COVID-19 that They just ran out of weenies but I was wrong. This sneaky Pete's it's only a sneaky Pete's by name. The only thing at the sneaky Pete's was sneaky Pete's what is the sauce. The weenies are different the bread is old and the attitude sucks. Heck they don't even grill their Bar-D wieners. If you wanna experience a real sneaky Pete hot dogs don't eat at this one. read more

Great food and great service. Owner operated, very friendly and go the extra mile to make sure the customer is satisfied.

Cheers to the staff & new owners is Gardendale Sneaky Pete's! Back to being delicious!

At least twice a month we have Sneaky Pete's hot dog Saturday. We enjoy the food and the people behind the counter know our order when we walk in. read more
