Dew Drop Inn Hot Dogs
Dew Drop Inn
A century-old hot dog shop opened in 1924. Its 'everything' hot dog comes with sauerkraut, chili, and mustard.
Founded in 1924 by the 'Hot Dog King,' George Widney, who introduced many Mobilians to hot dogs for the first time. The shop moved to its current site on Old Shell Road in 1937. The interior has changed little over the decades. It is often called Mobile's oldest restaurant, though some say Morrison's Cafeteria is older. The signature 'all the way' hot dog comes with sauerkraut, chili meat sauce, mustard, and ketchup, topped with a big slice of dill pickle. The pink hot dog links are distinctive. Only lunch is served, and prices are affordable. The shop is in the Midtown area about 4 km west of downtown, so drive there.
Opening hours
