The service here was pretty quick and before I could walk away from the counter where I ordered my food I was being called because my food was ready. For the price the food is a great deal for a burger and fries but I thought the sauce on the burger was a little weak and it didn't have much of a taste to it.

Love this place. Visiting from Texas and my brother brought me here good food and freaking fast service and the fried shrimp 🦐 seemed like fresh shrimp not frozen. I will be back definitely 👍

Red Hot Ranch Holy Mecca of Hood Burgers
I ate here drunk so IDK how accurate it is, but this is beyond a solid cheap burger spot. It’s the usual fair of cheap buns and meat with uninteresting accoutrements but the execution is spot on, bringing it on par with burger shops double or triple the price range flavor wise. The free inclusion of fries is a whole hearted indicator of the kind of experience you’ll have, but even in its utter simplistic lack of elegance (the potatoes are barely even soaked), these are weaponized for the better (the fries are crisp succulent starch bombs) elevates it from schlock to dam good eating. Even the out of the box cod sandwich is hilariously divine. And the price, again, the price is absurd for the flavor.
It’s the kind of place that only takes cash and has an ATM in the corner. It’s the usual order up and grab and go. Place is decently clean if mayhaps a little unorderly.
Atmosphere 4/5: Like a vivid memory of a hot dog shop, in all its glory and antiquated ways. I am a heart throb for a spot that had no frills about the kind of place that it is but YMMV depending on if you want to stay for a while.
Final Recommend almost all items and going a bit out of your way for a visit.
It’s a no frills well executed cheap burger spot in Southport, it kinda blows my mind how much I liked this vs Lucy’s. It’s right next to the equally beloved Schubas bar so go there afterwards to enjoy a beer and a show. Not much to say, but that’s the point with Red Hot Ranch, it needs not much.

Very good cheeseburger for the price but the fries tested like shrimps. Later I realized they sell fried shrimps. Only had few fries

Best smash burgers available. Get them red hot ranch style with everything and fries and you can't miss.
Top the order off with a chocolate shake and they'll think you're a regular.
Cash only means prices stay lower and they pass the savings to you 🤙 R/C on tap means they care.
Not bad! Quick service, decent food, fair prices, satisfying portions, cash only, and a neat and tidy interior. Cheers!

Stopped by Redhot Ranch on Ashland and grabbed a double cheeseburger with fries and a hot dog with fries—totaled about $13. The burger was juicy, smash-style goodness; the hot dog had that perfect snap. Fries were crispy and fresh-cut. Grabbed a seat on the patio under the Blue Line—great people-watching spot. Classic Chicago comfort food done right.

Super Fresh Burgers and Fries are just perfect and the low price is the cherry on top. I paid 25 dollars and got 3 burgers that come with fries and a polish hot dog with a drink and it's very fresh and satisfying.

Best Burger to ever bless my mouth. Absolutely have to get the cheese cup on the side. Worth every penny anytime of the day

Another great burger and dog joint. You’ll want to eat two of whatever you ordered so just order two in the first place!
