Scott's Koneys is a breakfast and lunch stand located at 2021 3rd Avenue South in the Liberty National building.
In addition to hot dogs, Scott's serves a full breakfast menu, a variety of sandwiches, and frequent lunch specials. Though there are a few 4-seat tables in the front window, most of the seating is on stools at large bar height tables in the center of the dining room.
It was first opened by Scott Green in 1977 across 20th street, then moved in 1995 to 109 20th Street South on Block 121 next door to Kinko's and downstairs from the former location of Reed Books when Adamson Ford opened.
In May 2006, Corporate Realty Development announced that they were considering a mixed-use high-rise project on the block occupied by Scott's. The City of Birmingham agreed to purchase the property and lease it to Corporate Realty at $10/month. After the announcement, Green expressed hope that the city would help his business to relocate. At the time, Green was interested in a number of nearby storefronts, including space at the Taylor Building at 20th Street and Morris Avenue.
The restaurant closed its 20th Street location on August 30, 2007 and reopened in September at the corner of 21st Street and 3rd Avenue South in the lower level retail space in the Liberty National Building's parking deck.
