50 Best Hot Dogs near Countryside

“The best Italian Beef and Chicago-Style hot dogs 🌭! Love this family.“

“Nicky’s Hot Dog is a must-visit spot if you’re in the Hotel Central area for a business trip. I arrived around 11:00 am, and while foot traffic was light, parking was still scarce, possibly due to sharing with a neighboring business. The place is tiny and old, with no updates to the exterior or interior, but that’s not why you’re there. I skipped the namesake hot dog and went straight for the Italian beef sandwich.

They used to be cash-only, but now they accept major cards, which was a relief since I don’t carry cash. The workers are packed into the minuscule kitchen like sardines, but ordering is straightforward. Just tell the guy at the counter what you want, and he writes it down on paper. A couple of minutes later, your order is ready.

There’s nothing fancy about Nicky’s, so if that’s what you’re after, head to a major chain. I ordered a beef sandwich with fries and an RC Cola for around $14. The sandwich came wrapped in foil and paper, with the bottom half soaked in beef juice. The beef was perfect, the bread was soft, and the hot peppers were just right. The sandwich was delicious and paired perfectly with the golden fries and cola. I’m so glad these places still exist, and I have much respect for the workers who move at warp speed to handle the orders, especially as it got jam-packed as soon as I left.“

“Excellent burgers and Italian beef 💯
Been going here since I was a kid we usually get the Italian beef set up’s where you can make it at your house but everything on the menu is delicious 😋
The staff is very friendly and polite as well.“

“I came in tonight and was excited because I’ve been craving a jrito crunch and have been for about 3 years and my buddy Carl told all his fb friends that owner is a previous franchisee of jrs and they have the chil ito which is this same xact indgredients (yes same chili and cheese and same chips as jrito everything was phenomenal came from Thornton which is about a half hour plus drive. So so worth the drive I refused to touch anything til I got home so I could enjoy that first bite. Thank you to the owners for preserving the beautiful food of your past establishment only to bring it to your new establishment! Everything was phenomenal!!!“

“I dont review because that's for Karen's looking to complain. I was born on the Northside during the worst times. Chicago style food means something. It means grit...This brings me back. From a Southsider who grew up on the Northside I know grit. I Thank you sir 🙏🏼 God bless“

“like a dream had went back for a second round Thanks!“

“Food is absolutely delicious5, everything I've tried. I'm ready to have it again. I just wish they would trim the one inches high entryway outside a bright yellow. I've even red around the yellow to draw attention to the "trip", at other establishments. It's just an accident waiting to happen. Thank you.“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch after grocery shopping. My friend ordered the Saturday special—the Super Burger, a massive ½‑lb burger served with fries. I wasn’t as hungry, so I went with the patty melt instead.

The Super Burger lived up to its name and was topped with grilled onions and mozzarella cheese. My patty melt was spot on: crispy bread and a perfect burger‑to‑grilled‑onions ratio. I also grabbed a large fountain drink, and refills were $1.

The interior has been recently updated, and they’re clearly making good use of the space, including a half‑booth facing the window. The booths were comfortable, making it an easy place to sit and enjoy lunch.“

“Great Hotdogs loaded with topings and I got a burger too. Fries are crispy and seasoned perfectly. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I will come back here again!“

“Don't let the overall look of this place fool you It might seem like an out of place small almost empty restaurant right next to the sidewalk, But the food is delicious, Very friendly staff of 2 at the moment. It was my First time going I had a hot dog meal with fries and a drink Hot dog was delicious. Fries surprised me VERY delicious home made fries, food was good The price was great. Service was very fast in and out within about a minute well worth a stop, I am looking forward to trying out some of their other menu items 🤤 my one and only complaint if I had one is that there is no porking available for them at the moment 😭“

“Great Food, Friendly Atmosphere,Fresh Fries and Fantastic Cream of chicken and Rice Soup!!“

“I've been coming to Henry's for over 30 years. The food is always great, pricing reasonable, and I love passing on my love of Henry's to my kids. We were there today and noticed some upgrades in aesthetics, with fresh paint and new decor. Highly recommend!“

“Very good hotdogs and fries. The fries are hand cut and fried without a timer. This does cause some fries to be over cooked. Yet, most of the fries are delicious. Not sure when they changed the hot dogs, but they are longer. Still good and have a snap. All the condiments were great.“

“Excellent food and staff, we always have a lot of fun. Recommended by the Wicked Car Magazine. www.wcm66.com“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“The place is a fun place to stop. Lots of good food, and lots of neat pictures to check out. Go about once a month.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“

“Sooo good. Served quickly and fresh liked it wet but bun not falling all apart, perfect!“

“Food was great! Cheeseburger, fries and strawberry shake were delicious. The cashier and workers are very friendly and accommodating. Place is bright and clean! Highly recommend!!“

“My twin and I ❤️ the Chicago-style diggety dogs!“

“Super cute and yummy! Great spot for a family adventure or to chill with friends.“

“As soon as you walk in, you get to see their menu and easily just say menu 1 or 5 and get your order placed quickly and be able to sit down as you watch the cars pass by, the cashier is a nice person to talk to about your day while you wait for your food.

The food is perfect, drink choices are great.

Overall, great place to grab a great bite whether your on the road or you live in the area.“

“Food is always awesome and delicious“

“Well I like Lucky Dogs but this location on Roosevelt has the worst customer service. A least 5 times, where they get my order wrong even after repeating my order clearly. Sometimes, I’ve had to ask them to repeat the order back to me just to make sure they had it right. Some of their drive thru employees don’t listen well, nor understand good clear English. Some don’t speak good English. Once I ordered a taco dinner & the beans were spoiled. After a long day at work & getting home realizing the beans were bad, I was too tired to deal with it. They have gotten my beef sandwiches wrong, it happened again today. I wish they would open the one on 16th street again (rarely had any issues other than with newer employees), and the one in Broadview is decent (I’veh never had a problem with them other than their sign having pizza on it but they don’t sell pizza, lol!) my stars are for the food, it is usually all around good.“

“I absolutely love it! No matter what I have it's always Great! I don't go to any other Smokehouse and I work at North Riverside!“

“Sub-tender use to be the place for a great sub. I've ordered here for a party years ago. Now don't get me wrong, the subs are delicious but id you get more then 3 things slices of meat that's a good day. I know the economy if rough but dang. You better like bread because that's all you really getting $7. I get the turkey combo for 14.00 with tax because I can fill up on the fries 🍟 and soda.“

“Five Guys lived up to their reputation. Tuesday, 5/15/18, was my first time at the Downers Grove location. That Bacon Cheese Burger was great. Just as expected from the many Chicago locations in the past. The two young men on duty offered service with smiles.“

“food was delicious. I would go there again. the staff was very friendly and professional“

“I visit twice in 2 weeks. I have been coming here for many years. Scatchell's your beef sandwich never disappoint me. What really puts them over the top is your homemade hot peppers. But I would like to suggest that your food handlers use plastic gloves. I observed one of your workers rub his nose and then made a sandwich (it wasn't mine) 😓“

“I'm regular customer but when I order Italian beef mostly all the time the guy that make tha Italian beef he don't fill not iven nó meat sorry this guy is Spanish like me the other guy white male he always make the Italian beef very good please tell this guy to put same meat“

“Good food and nice to sit outside“

“stopped by today's with the whole fam for the first time. the host was awesome they had a big variety of food to choose from the food had great taste all cooked fresh everyone was content .if your in the area and feel hungry make sure you stop by the Firehouse Grill you won't regret it .“

“Good food“

“I miss the location that closed because it was nearby my work but I took my family to this location tonight and the service was the best ive had at a that burger joint. Nathan and team made sure the order was completed correctly, put a to go order to the side and kept it hot and worked very fast to complete our order. It was great!“

“Usually love it, but put Mayo & mustard on the 8 subs I bought when I specifically said NO.... TOO far away to return 😣😢😠“

“Best French fries in the world never had a bad meal here.“

“I love my chopped salad 🥗“

“The Ontario Ave in Chicago was fabulous. My husband and I both enjoyed our Chicago dogs“

“La rapidez, presentación y entrega de los alimentos. Vuelvo a ir. Seguro.“

“awesome! every treat was awesome! we ordered 8 items. the spicy corn and nachos were to die for! ChaMango was perfect!“

“Most of the food here is okay.
We bought the large sized Beef Combo with an Italian sausage in the beef.
The sandwich was longer hence the large size, but the sausage was still the smaller regular size.
I don't feel like I got my money's worth for these two sandwiches.
I wont be getting the larger size here again.“

“My daughter and I loved it! Definitely be back when we are in the area.“

“First time here! Enjoyed the fresh chicken dinner and gyro dinner. Fries were tasty and fresh and the portions are very generous! I am coming back! Five Stars for real!“

“First time here and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend the gyros my fiance had a sub and it seemed to be a popular choice cuz we heard like 3 other people order it. It was also very clean and all around nice restaurant we will be going back soon“

“I’ve been here before but it’s been a year or so since I last stopped in. I was by myself and craving a good burger so I decided to treat myself to 5 guys. Got double cheeseburger, all the way combo for just over $18. I little pricey but I dined in to take advantage of the peanuts and free refills. Man, the burger is as tasty as I remember it. My advice, always eat in instead of taking it home. It’ll always be better. Fries were tasty and the peanuts make a tasty treat while you wait for your order. Definitely not inexpensive but the no place is anymore and the quality will always outclass any drive thru.“

“Gyros bowl and Greek fries are the bomb!“

“Good Quality. Food is the same stuff you'll find all over chicago.

Italian Beef is okay.

The chicago hotdogs have changed though, they no longer steam a poppy seed bun... tastes like something my mom would make with ingredients from Jewel, or you'd find in a high school cafeteria.

God, I miss you old Lucky Dog with fries!“

“Highly recommend! You can't visit Chicago without hitting Portillo's. The Italian beef is incredible, get it with sweet and hot peppers!, and the classic Chicago style hot dogs are a must try. On top of the great food, the service is fantastic, very fast and super friendly!!“

“Went to portillo's because it was my birthday today the cashier made a mistake charged me for my free chocolate cake! I told the manger he fix it right away thank you very much my friend I appreciate that! And give me two chocolate cakes for the mistake from the cashier! I will recommend this place everyone is friendly!“
