It was super quick and expensive.
I mean, what can I say about fat johnny's . It's the most iconic, best tasting hot Dog in the city of chicago!!!!! So therefore, it's the best hot dog in the world!!!! That nostalgic charm from the first time that I went to this stand in 1976 it's still there. You can close your eyes while biting into this hot dog and i'm transported back to 1976❤️❤️❤️ the ingredients on this hot dog taste like they were just picked in the garden, cleaned, and put on your hot dog!!! Also today, I got something that I've never tried before. I got a father in law!! Which is a tamale in a poppy seed, hot dog bun, with all the trimmings and chili and cheese!!! Yes it's as amazing as it sounds!!! Prices are fantastic.Also you just can't beat it!!!
This is the best hot dog stand in Chicago. I’ve been coming there since 1974.
I've been going there for years! Hot dogs are way better than Portillos, especially for the price.
I had the Fat One with everything on it which was the 1/4 lb. hot dog. It was very good but when I got home to eat it, it didn't have any sport peppers on it and for that reason it didn't get 5 stars.
Great Red Hots! Best Chicago dog around.
Window service great

Food and service still just as good as when I was a little girl. 10/10
My boy friend who now my husband. Took me here and the chilli cheese Polish blowed me away. It was so juicy so moist so full of flavor and I love the pink lemonade. We always try to go every once a month to treat ourselves. Love the food at fat Johnnie's
