Uncle Al's may claim to have the best grilled hot dogs in America but it also serves up extremely cheap, tasty breakfasts and great daily special meal deals. The hot dogs are what most patrons come for - try the Atlanta 'Slaw' Dog, which comes with homemade coleslaw. Or if you're feeling brave, try the Sloppy Bob, which comes with pickles, mustard, onions, chili AND melted cheese. A great place to pick up a cheap, easy snack in downtown Norfolk.

They have introduced a vegan menu, and there is also a selection of daily desserts to choose from. There is live music nightly and the beer selection is above the norm.

Many believe that Abe Doumar, founder of Doumar's Cones & Barbecue, gave the world its first ice cream cone. Doumar was a traveling salesman retailing paperweights at the famous St. Louis World's Fair in 1904. When an ice cream seller exhausted his stock of paper dishes to hold the ice creams, he got a nearby waffle maker to roll his waffles into cones and thus invented the waffle cone. While not all hold this story true, he certainly popularized the ice cream cone widely. Doumar created this ice cream parlor in Norfolk in 1907, and it continues to roll the cones by hand using the original four-iron waffle machine that he invented. While it shifted premises to the current location in 1934, it still sells ice creams that use early 20th Century recipes and hand-rolling techniques. You can also enjoy delicious hot dogs and vinegar-soaked pork barbecue with desserts like Hawaiian Sunset Sundae and refreshing limeades. This diner feels old-fashioned, complete with a drive-in parking area where you can order and eat in your car. The prices too are from another era and leave you feeling satisfied. You can actually watch them roll the waffle cones by hand, just like in the past. Indeed, you haven't really been to Norfolk until you've eaten at Doumar's.
