This is one of those places you've got to try. Come on...the Babe at here. The hot dogs are good comfort food. They may not be your favorite but they're good. This is a staple and hot dog institution for hot dog lovers. Don't miss it. more

We visited Chris's on a Friday night around 730 PM. The neighborhood isn't bad though it looked like there was one homeless person sleeping nearby on some steps. In the front of Chris's, right on the sidewalk, appears to be where the management deposits the trash, including old cans of cooking oil which stain the sidewalk. When you walk inside... more

The hot dogs are great but the reason to try Chris' Hot Dog is the atmosphere. The place is just as it was when my Grandfather dined there in the '50s. more

I didn't have their famous hot dog, but the chicken salad sandwich. Two thumbs ups! Friendly service and quaint little place, what so many of today's chain restaurants lack. more

I am a 61 yr. old male that has eaten a lot of hot dogs in my life and anyone who does not think these dogs are the GREATEST need his or her head examined. I can remember my Dad taking me and my 3 brothers to Chris when were small boys while our Mother shopped in downtown Montgomery .... more

I'm not sure if everyone else when to a different place or what, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give Chris' a try. I was not impressed. Hotdogs are the smallest I've ever seen, chilil sauce is interesting...looks like a slight variation on ketchup...but not far from it! Hamburgers are REDICULOUSLY small and not very tasty. Fries aren't... more

To tell you how long Chris' has been a part of my family, my grandfather told us he used to go to Montgomery on mule and wagon with his daddy to eat at Chris'. It would take them all day to get there. My dad has been going all of his life. I came to know of those delicious dogs... more

I love to visit places that have a long history and are famous for what they do well, so this was on the top of our list for our visit to Montgomery. It was easy to find and street parking was easy as well. I have to say that there is a very bad smell in the corridor and entrance... more

I worked for an insurance company on Dexter Avenue in the late 60's. We walked to Chris's daily for lunch. I'll never forget the aroma that grabbed us by the nose when were two blocks from the place! The hamburgers were awesome and I'd love to have one now. We always ordered chili on cold days and the counter person... more
