This Iconic Virginia Diner Has Been Serving Up Delicious Hot Dogs Since 1985

If you're a resident or a frequent visitor of Virginia Beach, you're likely aware of Famous Uncle Al's Hot Dogs. Since 1985, this beloved restaurant has been serving up some of the state's very best hot dogs. If you've never had the chance to visit, you'll definitely want to put this diner on your radar. And don't forget to bring your appetite with you!

Welcome to Famous Uncle Al's! The motto here is "Where service comes with a smile -- and maybe a joke or two." What could be better than that?

In 1985, Al Stein, also known as "Famous Uncle Al," began serving up his iconic hot dogs. Having worked at a deli in New York growing up, he brought these roots to Virginia. The rest, as they say, is history!

The quality of the hot dogs is hard to beat. You can have them plain or prepared with all of your favorite fixings on top.

And don't forget the fries! Customers can choose between crinkle cut and home fries.

In addition to the quality of the food, reviewers rave about the prices. Hot dogs are just a little over $3, and cheeseburgers aren't much more than that.

Pro tip: get a side of fried pickles, too!

Plus, the laid-back, friendly atmosphere of the restaurant will make you feel like you've discovered your home away from home.

You'll quickly agree that no trip to Virginia Beach is complete without a pit stop at Famous Uncle Al's.
