    Small steak quesadilla and chicken taco

    I found this gem on highway 78 serving tacos from a trailer. Perfectly seasoned chicken on a corn tortilla. Fresh ingredients and topped with a spicy green salsa. I also got a small steak quesadilla. Cheese was melted perfectly and steak was well-seasoned and juicy. I can't believe I never saw this place sooner. Can't wait to bring my friends.

    I would eat here every day if I could! This was the BEST anything Mexican I have EVER had! The steak and cheese Quesadilla was to die for. And I added grilled onions to mine. And the steak taco how it comes was so amazing. Dip it in there salsa and taste like heaven! I don't even mind we waited almost an hour on our food. It was worth it! (Long wait was probably the costumer appreciation day. They were giving away T-shirt's).

    Always a treat. The staff is courteous and efficient. The food is above average for a food truck and very modestly priced.

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!

The burgers were great the Franks are great and though I've never tried the veggie burger my father has even though he has passed away he told me that it was awesome so I've got to try it. Fast food is going to trash but this fast food has not gone to nothing but higher Heights it still exactly how I remembered it. I was just talking with my daughter just now and asked her if she had ever had a Travis, when I was young we called it the TRAVIS BEARBURGER back in those days everything was BEAR FRANKS BEAR BEEF FRANKS. The animal bear is not an ingredient it was a Chicago style that Travis made famous! I can't wait to go and when I do I'll give pictures and a much better review

Despite its name, it is NOT related to any of the other "Gus's" in the area, whatever the ownership configuration may have once been. The Irondale Gus's is, of course, packed at lunchtime but not overcrowded, and it is not heat-lamp fast food. It takes several minutes at the least to get your order, and more if you want, say, a hamburger cooked to order. The Birmingham dog is decked out with mustard, sauerkraut, onions, and a special tomato-based sauce similar to the region's barbecue sauces, albeit with a different spice pantheon (it is Greek in origin). It can be ordered as is, or with a special chili-like topping made of beef and onion gravy on top. I chose to stay with the basic formula and ordered a combo of two, fries, and drink. Several years ago I reviewed a Hoover/Pelham joint called Tony's, and the dogs at Gus's are pretty similar-tasting, with the sauce playing a sweetish counterpart to the sourness of the kraut. It is a little heavier on the onion than I ordinarily like, but I figure it is this restaurant's unique interpretation of the Birmingham dog. The frankfurter itself probably comes from Ziegler's Meats in nearby Tuscaloosa and is Southern-style skinless, making for an easy bite. One thing interesting about Gus's is that one gets a discount if cash is used instead of cards. I availed myself of that feature. This is a convenient place just two stoplights south of the Interstate, and costs no more than a national chain fast-food meal--with much better taste. So on the way to Atlanta from points west or north, this would be a great lunch option. Potato chips are available instead of fries on the combo meals, and the iced tea comes from Red Diamond, a local brand.

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!

And the Cajun ranch fries? A full chef's kiss. Crispy, seasoned just right, and the perfect companion to the fish. The truck stayed busy the entire time--from people getting off work to people like us, just looking to try something new--which tells you everything you need to know. Amazing food, incredible flavors, and we genuinely can't wait to come back and work our way through the rest of the menu. If you see this food truck, do yourself a favor and pull up!
