This is THE PLACE FOR HOT DOGS - the original place. Nothing fancy - just good dogs More

Thsi landmark hot dog shop in Birmingham has closed due to the death of the owner. It was such an icon that the sign that was above the door has been placed in a museum. More

Unfortunately, Gus - who ran the place since 1948 - died this year, and it hasn't been opened back up. I heard that the other family members weren't interested or able to keep it open... Gus came to work everyday and in fact worked the day he died and was found in his home. Unfortunately, I only went once with... More

I've had better, but they were pretty good dog's. The place is SUPER TINY and there is NO place to sitdown or anything like that. It's basically a hotdog stand that's been tucked into a large closet. Prices are OK. I bought 4 special dogs w/ cheese, 2 small cokes, and 2 bags of chips for $16. Like I said,... More

Very yummy hot dogs. We were thrown off by the size of the place. Literally standing room only in a very small space. So, be prepared to get your dog handed to you in a piece of 'wax paper' and eat it on the spot. An odd, yet neat experience and very yummy hot dogs. More

We drove out of our way to get to this place only to find it was closed. It actually seemed like all of downtown was closed. It was my fault for not finding the hours of service but I could tell it had been there a while and it didn't look like there was much room inside. More

Wow, I have to say that Pete's dogs were the hi-light of my business trip to Birmingham! I convinced two co-workers to go with me on our last day in town despite the 15 minute walk from the Sheraton. They were very reluctant, but after tasting Pete's dogs they were wanting more. Yes it is a hole in the wall... More

The best hot dogs in Birmingham period! Don't be surprised if you have to wait in line to get one at lunch hour. It really is a standing room only area as this place is truly one of the hole in the wall joints you have heard about. Outstanding hot dogs! The only drawback is the size of this place.... More
