Mike's Hot Dogs (also known as Chicago Mike's) is a lunch-only hot dog stand located at 2701 18th Street in Homewood. It is owned by Mike Zaden and features 1/4 pound all-beef kosher hot dogs brought in from Chicago as well as hamburgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. The special dog comes with mustard, sauce, onions and kraut. Mike's sauce is tomato-based with a smoky, hickory flavor.
The setting is sparse, with a few plastic tables located under awnings on either side of the toolshed-sized stand. Mike's was a top-5 finalist in both the "Best Burger Around" (2000) and the "Top Dog in Town" (2001) contests sponsored by the Birmingham News.
