The banner hanging at the entrance says it all, "Best Burgers and Best Diner" in Shelby County…read more And, there's something comforting about entering a new, unfamiliar spot and being greeted like you're a regular. 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!

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.

My favorite order here is the Hercules combo...a Conecuh sausage dog with beef, onions, peppers and…read moresauce. It also comes with hand cut fries and a drink. There's a $2.00 up charge for juice. 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.

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

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!

Fresh, handmade and not overly greasy. The sauce was not too overwhelming and paired well. This was easy to digest and honestly I could have sat there and ate two. I really wish they had fries to pair with it. Chips only. For 3 sandwiches and 2 small drinks, our total was $25.08 with $1 tip. Fast service! My burger was made before I paid with the person at the counter as she was trying to get a togo order together. Parking is overall fairly easy. This is a good solid choice for lunch/ dinner. Restaurant was clean and spacious. The layout of the tables were interesting but overall I liked the style.

We were familiar with Taco Mac from Atlanta so we had high hopes for this particular spot. We were not disappointed! We were promptly seated.

We ordered Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and wings. The egg rolls were amazing! The steak and cheese were tasty and the "roll" blended with the ingredients to make a tasty appetizer. My son loved the wings- they were meaty which is always a good thing. We had a great quick dinner at Taco Mac. We will be back next time we are in Pelham. Thanks, Taco Mac!!

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!

The parking can be challenging, but they will be moving closer to the Walmart supercenter in Hoover on 150 sometime in the summer My son ordered the buccaneer burger and I ordered the classic. Both were just 1 patty. I did ask for ranches on the side with my tater tots, but did not receive them. The burgers definitely have a homemade taste to them. They definitely give you a generous amount of tater tots. Once I place the order, it was ready in about 15 minutes. The cashier brought it around to me which I thought was sweet. I like how it's decorated inside and it's not too bright in there. I will definitely be back to try a different burger.
