3-D Dogs Comes to Montevallo

By John Albea

As described by owner Sean Desmet, 3-D Dogs is College Food: Hot Dogs, Burgers, and good ol' Grease. Nestled down Highway 25 just past Huddle House, 3-D Dogs' modest location is contrasted well with its very own brand of soul-food.

"It's really great!" says manager Brooke Ray "I know people would say 'oh well you're supposed to say that' because I work here, but I really think so!" And she's not alone, Montevallo residents, student or non-student, have frequently been setting foot into the atmosphere, decorated with just a few old rock'n'roll records on the walls.

Desmet says 3-D Dogs began its life in Billingsly, Alabama, and has moved around since then, maintaining one location in Clanton. Eventually they found their way to Calera, where their new building proved to be inoperable. That's when they decided to move to Montevallo, where Ray says "It feels more like home." 

Although Desmet does not say that the University is the reason for the move, he has warmly welcomed the interest of students, and even offers a discount for students. Desmet and Ray have both said that business has improved since the move.
