Gus's Hot Dogs - Hot dog restaurant in Birmingham - 1915 4th Ave N, USA

Time tested short order joint serving hot dogs, burgers, and bologna sandwiches. Highly recommend the chili and slaw dogs - some of the best in the south. The inside is tiny and it gets busy even during a weekday, but the staff is quick and accommodating and you'll be on your way with a great inexpensive meal in no time at all

Hands down the best dog place in Birmingham. The food is amazing and the atmosphere even better. If you’re not eating at Gus’s, you’re missing out !

Saw it on my way through town and I remember hearing about it on the radio. Absolutely jam up spot. I love how it's small and everyone there is chill. About to go bouldering, I will climb 1000% better after demolishing their junkyard hotdog. Thank yall!

Very good Lunch spot. I have been past there and the line was out the door. I figured it must be Guud!!!!! And WAS!!!! If you are in the mood for a good Hot Dog, Gus's is the place. The burgers sound good too. I'm going to try that next time. Support your local business. You never know if you are walking past a Gem!!!

For starters, it’s easy to miss as it’s a very small place but wow was it worth stopping in for! I walked in and told them I’m from SD and I travelled 1,100 so I just simply want to be impressed. I got the chili cheese dogs without onions and it was DELICIOUS! Both men were polite gentleman and made my first meal in Birmingham one to remember. Definitely recommend!

There are several Gus's hot dog places near Birmingham. This one is apparently the original, too small to sit and enjoy a meal with friends. Barely any available parking. The service was great and quick. The special dog was delicious. The chili cheese dog had a burnt taste to the chili. In my opinion the irondale location has the better chili cheese dog. But this location has a good special dog, take it to go, be prepared to wait in line during peak times.

If you are following the industrial era hot dog trail as it weaves through the Midwest and Deep South, Gus's is definitely worth a stop. Really friendly people, quick service, and interesting flavor on the chili. I'd say it comes closest to the Greek inspired Cincinnati Skyline chili, with that hint of Mediterranean flavor, but it's not as strong - and that works really well with the dog. I was there on business and hope to be back again.If I am, I'll definitely stop through Gus's. It's worth it. Wish I had something genius to add, or some brilliant insight - about the only thing I can think of is that it's open and serving during the pandemic, so stop by!

Me and my daughters were visiting a bookstore on a street over and I happened to see this place. I use to work downtown years back when I last ate there. Better than I remember! Yes there is no seating but that is part of the experience. We will be back for sure! Something tells me they have some great hamburgers. We had hot dogs this go around. Thanks!
