This location has permanently closed as of July 3rd 2020 after nearly 50 years. We wish you the very best in your future endeavors.A multi-level indoor outdoor Golfing Range will take its place slated to open later this year.The few times we were here it was okay, loved these hot dogs as a child.

Ordered up some Vienna dogs from Chiraq. Had them Airmailed to the Mexican Border. Harlingen Tx. Package arrived still semi cold and within 9 hours of departing Chiraq.. Without bullet holes, Bonus!! Ive been to Chicago, I'd much rather order from Texas.. During this virus scam and democratic attempted overthrow of the current administration and your stellar communist mayoral accomplishments, ???? it's the least Texas can do to help your economy.. Will order again. Really excellent product, tastes like the real deal cause it is.. Best of Luck.. Plotted. Scouts out!!!

Prices are way up from last Summer, but still a great deal for July Fourth celebrating

This place is supposed to be moving later this year and I'll miss it. It probably isn't the best hot dog you'll find in the city, or the best deli. But everything they have is pretty good and this place was a somewhat hidden gem for years. Easy to get to, never super busy, good food, somewhat kitschy digs. That's a winning combination.

I will be so sad to see this place go! If you are in the area, stop by for a REAL CHICAGO DOG, Italian beef or visit the deli and take the party home with you! I don't think people realize that this place is pumping out some great lunches. They close early and they won't be around much longer, so stop in while you still can!

Great dogs, but so much more to choose from. I hear they'll be closing this year for redevelopment on the factory site. It took me 25 years to get there. Glad I didn't miss it.

Their hotdog special (2 chicago dogs, fries and a drink) is amazing. Vienna Beef at its finest. No frills cafeteria style eating area, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back.

I bought the corned beef for St, Patty's Day, I choose Vienna because being a Chicogan, anytime I want good hot dogs, sport peppers, sauerkraut, relish or mustard I turn to these guys. I cooked the corned beef as directed, boiling and checking the meat temperature. At 203K still tough, at 210 it was again still tough! I've cooked hundreds of briskets and never encountered a brisket flat that hasen't been tender cooked above 205F.. I don't know where they source these "flats" but I would advise to change it! So after taking the two flats and throwing them away I decided to order pizza for our St. Patrice day party... I'm taking a break from Vienna brand for a while... I lost $45.00 and disappointed 12 people.... Bye Vienna

I would have to write this place a two star because the customer service is absolutely terrible the lady that was working there I've seen her three different times and she has messed up my order every single time she has no desire to fix her mistakes it's more so you get what you get and be happy with it the food is good but I will no longer be coming here for lunch

Great Vienna sandwiches, not only hot dogs, but corned and Italian beef and more. Friendly service. A Spartan, but comfortable room. I would give 5 stars but they close at 3PM.

This what you will see most people in the city eat. This is where people on lunch who needs something fast cheap and delicious good. Basic menu that meets your needs.

They've been around for ages but if I'm being honest their Italian beef is the beef I dread seeing when I go to mom and pop shops. Their hot dogs are still the best though.

This place will be badly missed. It was one of the best places in the city to get a Chicago dog, and always a great place to grab the supplies you need to make your own. We were always greeted with smiles and the employees just seemed happy to be there. Bummed they'll be gone soon.

Creepy factory basement cafeteria vibe. Hot dog was not very hot. Bun quickly got soft and fell apart. Not what I was expecting from the framed Vienna Beef Company.
