food is always great. service is top notch
Jake’s is the place to go! I come here for the dogs, the broasted chicken (it’s marinated for 24 hours) and the no-frills vibe that you can’t get anywhere else. This is a Chicago mainstay and a must-try if you’re in the area

Jakes Pup In the Ruf is a long-standing favorite spot with great service and delicious food. The menu is enormous and a little quirky, offering a variety of options from hot dogs to Italian beef to gyros to elotes, plus tons of desserts. The breakfast special with eggs, hash browns, and bacon is both tasty and filling, while the Polish hot dog and chili dog are highly recommended for lunch. The cheese fries are a must-try, always served in generous portions with crispy fries. While the breakfast bowl is flavorful, some customers wish the cheese was better integrated. The real ice cream chocolate shake is a hit, although very thick. Jakes Pup In the Ruf is known for its broasted chicken, which is fried in a pressure cooker to reduce the amount of oil absorbed. The service remains hospitable, and the restaurant has been a cherished spot for both locals and visitors for years.
