Fantastic burger and great people. I liked the small space and the hyper local feel.

Speaking as a tourist, not an expert in Chicago-style hot dogs or anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The shop is small with only a few tables but the vibe and decor were very cute, eg. the maps, paintings, and portrait of Anthony Bourdain. We got a Chicago-style dog for a snack, and the presentation with all the toppings was beautiful. As a first-time tryer, I was surprised by how much I liked the hot dog. A lot going on - the snappy sausage, sour pickled cucumber, fresh tomatoes, and savory relish - but everything came together nicely and created a balanced bite. It was on the salty side so a sufficient amount of water was a must.

Thoroughly satisfying Chicago hot dog experience. Varied menu, delicious dogs and fries, great service. Even the atmosphere represents with style.

A good dog. I can't give it Weiner Circle levels of praise, but as dogs go, this one was tasty. However, the exotic sausages and other items are what will bring me back, there are some interesting looking tasty treats on the menu!!

Great service. I really love this place it is the most accurate representation of a Chicago dog in the entire state. Seriously some great food and great people.

It's a great place to get a chicago style dog and their exotic sausages are very more good . The customer service is very up to the mark . All the chefs back there are so good. One guy is named Andrew is good and he told lot about hotdogs and chicago. Ambiance is very well. All the pictures in the place is like dates back to 1939 ..

My husband and I and two friends moved to Chicago from the Southwest last week and came here for our first authentic Chicago-style hotdog. We weren't disappointed! Fantastic food, cool ambiance (and excellent music), and fast, friendly service. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Food 10 Service 10 Ambiance yes Great spot for all kinds of sausages and dogs and the fries are great too. What really makes this place stand out is the variety toppings and meats used in their sausages. And it's not just the novelty that makes this place good the taste is also a win. You're unlikely to find the variety at other places and so far everything I've had all tasted so amazing. Seating is limited so be prepared to order to go.

Amazing! Best dog I've ever had. Came into town from Atlanta for the Braves/Cubs series and wanted an authentic Chicago dog. Amazing taste, attention to detail and friendly staff! Will come back whenever in Chicago
We always order takeout and are always happy. Directions followed and food is always tasty and fresh. My husband orders the veggie dogs and have never gotten an incorrect dog before (sucks when you can't eat meat and that's what shows up). Cheese fries for me are fire and any of the dogs with bacon are my favorites.

The burgers here are NOT GOOD. I ordered The Dog House Cheddar Burger. The burger tasted like it'd been frozen for centuries and then heated up in a microwave. Flat out gross. Service also left a lot to be desired. Disappointing

Have to go here if you want the famous style hot dogs. It has that and plenty more styles. Chicago's Dog House is a dinky place with a big ass menu of hot dogs and side items. Get a table inside if lucky. The prices are pretty good on most things especially on the lunch meals. Came here at lunch and it was good timing because it was cheaper. It has weekday lunch specials. This is the time to come, but it's still not that expensive any other times. Get a hot dog, drink, and fries for about $8, or get 2 hot dogs and fries for about $9 or so. This is only on weekdays. A funny theme is they name some of the hot dogs for celebrities. They have styles according to the person whether they're an actor or a politician. I got the Lightfoot Dog. This is a vegan sausage topped Chicago style. Also they have a Trump Dog. It's a very burnt sausage with ketchup and mayonnaise. That's so wrong! I think it's just on the menu as a joke. That would be hard to imagine someone eating a garbage hot dog like that. Good to take to go. It gets pretty cramped in here. There's lots of interesting toppings and there's options for vegans and vegetarians.

Started out mildly disappointed and capped it off with one of my biggest food regrets. I've been a Chicagoan all my life so I'm coming from that perspective The place is small with two booths. One of the booths was filled with boxes and junk and the other was taken, so we had to eat at the narrow shelf on stools, no big deal. Hotdog was fine. Fries were on the dark side and underwhelming. I'm admittedly a fry-snob. My wife and I decided to split a deep fried Twinkie. At first glance, we thought that it was covered in chocolate. Turns out that this poor victim was charred black and saturated in old oil. Warning: the photo is not for the faint of heart.
