Greatest hot dogs this side of anywhere! Not long before closing and I got hot wieners on fresh buns. I went for the Tribeca of hot dogs. A Famous Originals Gus', a Best in the show Gus Chili Dog and a SPECIAL Dog covered in Gus' signature Beef Sauce. Each of the three were topped in the Wonderful Gus' Sauce. (The Chili Dog was sauced because I asked for sauce on it.)I needed napkins galore. Sauce to my wrists and elbows, beard covered in Chili, beefcake and Gus' Sauce, (I always get a warm wet towel on the way out). Best mess I get in any yime I'm near downtown.Let's talk about the onions. Raw onions on the dogs cooked onions on the Special AND raw ones too per my request. Fresh, crisp, flavorful. The wieners were great. Hot and slow cooked on the grill. Great meat choice the same as when I was a kid. (My dad and I used to stop by when we were downtown in my kid years of the 60s and 70s. Mr. George was my pal. This was always my favorite trip.)The place is older than Coca-Cola but clean throughout. The seating is limited to about four spots. The place is about 8 feet wide from wall to wall going back less than 20 feet in the service area. At lunch the line goes out the door but these boys make wienies fly. They can turn the whole line in just minutes. Know what you want when they ask for your order, otherwise regulars might tease you.Gus' Hot Dogs Downtown is an icon in Burmingham. It has lived through 80 plus years and has seen many changes. They still have the best hotdogs I've ever had. The guys that run this landmark eatery are my heroes. I visit every time I'm in town.

Hot dogs were average. Parking is challenging. Seemingly restaurants would have free parking like some other places. They can't make money if the people don't come in.

Good food with no frills. You’ll need to yell your order over the counter to the person behind the grill it might be a little loud, so please be prepared to speak up. There isn’t seating inside of the restaurant, but there are a few café style tables and chairs outside. Because the inside is so small, it limits to how many people can fit inside. It is one way in one way out so you place your order you move down the line as your order is made and then you loop back around to head out once you have your food. The food is fantastic. I recommend getting two or more hotdogs (it’s that good).

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 !
You ever walk into a place and just automatically feel welcome well this place is that place you walk in and see the guys behind the counter faces light up you know you are in the right place. The food here is amazing I’ll gladly drive a hour and a half just to come back

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!
