Pretty good… The New York Sausage is good ! The customer service is also great. They treat you like family.

Famous for what? If you want all beef hot dogs look elsewhere. I was assuming for the price they charge and the fact that they are«famous» for their dogs they would be all beef. Nope! They are Boars head but not quality Boars head. They also charge for refills! They used to be good but are not the same as they used to be. Cheap meat, cheap canned chili and cheap sliced cheese. Nothing special whatsoever! Wont be back!

So glad this place is back. I have missed have a location near me. I have eaten at the Virginia Beach location when I was in the area but this is so much closer. I always get my dogs well done. Add a splash vinegar on my fries. This location has brewed sweet tea, bonus! Plenty of parking and you may get get lucky and get right up front. Located in a plaza with plenty of stores in walking distance and the mall is across the street or the movie theater is in the other direction. Never had bad service or bad food! This is my go to for birthday lunch!

I’m never disappointed when I come here. The hot dogs are high quality along with the service. The servers are nice and the restaurant is always clean. I won’t go anywhere else!

The hot dogs are good. Cooked to order. Crinkle fries also cooked to order as well(from frozen) The ladies are very nice and quick. Counter seating, 9 table and chairs, plus a few picnic tables outside.

The hot dogs were great, the staff was extremely friendly. I wish their crinkled cut fries would be a lot better. I loved that the place was extremely clean. Would definitely recommend, will come back and try their other items.

My husband loves hot dogs. With my home office being in Chesapeake, he’ll often accompany me on a business trip and we turn it into a long weekend to visit the beach or catch up with old friends. Famous Uncle AL’s is one of his favorite lunch stops in the Greenbrier area. He can belly up to the bar and order his fill of chili cheese dogs with mustard and onions. Honestly the place is clean, the dogs are good quality and service is quick and friendly. Added bonus, no soggy fries. They have other items on the menu, but we haven’t tried anything but the dogs and fries. Nothing here is spectacular, but if you are looking for a quick lunch this place has been a Greenbrier favorite for years.

Good food. Nice staff. Had the NY hot sausage and fries. The fries were the crinkled kind, which I love. The sausage was good. It was flashed fried to heat it up. While this is typical so these types of places, its not my favorite way to cook it. However, the quality of the sausage was good so i didnt mind. I will remember to ask for it not deep fried and will wait the extra time for it to cook. The restaurant is nice and bright without being too over whelming. I’ll come back again. The prices do seem a little high for hot dogs, the quality is there.

I stopped in for lunch today because I’ve been craving a chili cheese dog. I ordered one, some fries, and a root beer. The fries are nothing special– the kind that come out of a giant paper bag. The dog was good; it had that snap when you bit into it. It was good, but nothing to write home about. I’ll stop in with the kids again, but it won’t be in my lunch rotation. They get an extra star for having counter service and a Ms. Pac Man machine!

Famous Uncle Al’s is a local institution and I am glad it’s back. Whenever I am in the Greenbrier area, it beckons me… The food is just as good as ever and service is quick and efficient. This is a great place to have a traditional hot dog, burger and fries, but they have LOTS of other options too. What a wonderful place. Definitely worth checking out.

We stopped in here for lunch on Thursday after one of our co-workers came back from lunch and announced«Hey Al’s is open again!». I didn’t know it was closed… Apparently there had been a problem with the last people that had been managing the place and it had been closed for about 4 months. That’s a heck of a long time to have a place closed. Long story short, some more co-workers and I popped on over and the place was packed. Looks like a lot of people had missed Al’s. We were able to get ourselves some seats at the counter and ordered up. I had two dogs with mustard and onions with some fries. After I destroyed that, I had another hot dog dressed the same. Lunch was fast and affordable and the new staff was very friendly. I’ve always wanted to try a burger here. I’m going to have to come back soon and do that. You can’t miss them. They’re located just a few doors down from Office Depot.

This place has opened back up, so immediately I stopped in there to give them a shot. As of the time of my visit they still don’t have their license for alcohol. For those who have never been here, this place is just a larger version of a «Hot Dog Cart» on a beach boardwalk. To me this isn’t a place I can recommend, it’s WAYOVERPRICED and the only unique feature they may have is that they use Boar’s Head meat… The food was VERYVERY bland, and I felt ripped off honestly. If you want a hot dog, and one with taste, you are better off going to SONIC and saving your money.

Great hot dogs. Good grilled cheese sandwiches. Best quick lunch spot. And really, even though it gets ridiculously crowded, they still manage to move fast and still be hot and accurate. Parking, however, is a beast.

I’ve been eating lunch here for over 5 years. As others have said, the staff is friendly, fast, and efficient. There is a very low turnover, and consistency is working very well here. I’ve not had anything besides the hot dogs. I like mine with sauerkraut, raw onions, and the Boars Head Deli mustard. The fries are fresh cut and fried to perfection. Their onion rings are among the best I’ve ever had. I very highly recommend Famous Uncle Al’s in Chesapeake. Whenever I want a dog, i don’t even consider anywhere else.

So delicious! No other hot dog compares !! The girls are so friendly and my drinks already ready for me before I sit down. Not to mention your cup will never go unfilled everyone will ask at least twice! They love their job and it shows.
