First time going(02/28/26) and honestly hot dogs were nothing to jump up and down for, they tasted somewhat bland and fries were average at best and the tamale was cut into pieces which I found extremely odd, There are definitely way better places for a hot dog to go to than there

I grew up going to bob-o’s, sitting in front in the 90s with our teenaged crew all sharing baskets of fries and soggies. It’s the same family that owns Rand red hots and let me say they have been solid all these years. Rand red hots always has delicious food AND they don’t price gauge like so many other places do. I know I can now take my kids and get a great meal with lots of food and it’s cheaper than going to McDonald’s. The char dog is my favorite and they give you like 20 lbs of fries with your dog. I usually go through the drive thru in the winter but we love sitting at the benches during the summer, listening to the oldies they play, looking at all the cool cars.

This place really deserves consideration for the best hot dog and fries in Chicagoland, especially the fries as they are perfectly crispy but still soft on the inside. The thing that sets them apart with hot dogs is their char dog, which is snappy and loaded with flavor served on a great steamed bun. And you can't beat the price, quick service, and drive-in atmosphere.
This place is an absolute joke it takes them 10 minutes to make a hot dog you tell him you want to polish and they give you a hot dog they don't even speak English don't waste your time

Me and my wife visited here on Saturday and the food was good as usual. I asked the cashier what kind of oil is used on the food and he said beef tallow oil. He was energetic and very helpful by giving us this information. I also asked him how long they were using beef tallow and he said for 13 years since the place opened. I recommend this place to everyone who loves this type of food.
