When I was a senior at Phillips High School, we would catch the bus in front of Pete's. The hotdogs were ridiculously good. I am in Michigan now, but I visit Pete's whenever I am home.

Absolutely one of the greatest hot dogs out there- in the world. Period.

Still great after all these years. Hard to believe, but it actually was as good as ever

My wife and I drove down from Huntsville to check Pete's out and to visit Oak Mountain State Park. We both must admit that we were surprised when we arrived there. There is barely enough room to slide through the door when there are more than a couple customers present. There is no place to sit down. You order your meal and eat it and, when you ...

I travel the U.S. I have never eaten a better hot dog. My father took me to Pete's in 1952. Gus is one more character and God Bless Kathy.

Great with a pint of cold milk!!! Just walk in and say "all the way and a pint", and enjoy the news clippings on the walls and the chatter and banter from both sides of the counter. This is a must visit!

Famous and truly amazing! The last day we were in Birmingham, I dragged two unwilling but hungry co-workers to Pete's. The walk was only 15 minutes from the Sheraton, but well worth it. We all agreed the dogs were great. I had a chili-cheese dog (actually three!) and wanted more. They are not big, but very, very tasty. The dogs are thin ...
