47 Best Hot Dogs near Downers Grove

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“I would have to agree with the positive reviews that this Italian beef is the real deal. Someone said this was salty but I’m pretty sure she just made up stuff. The bread was not stale, it was fresh. They gave me a lot of sweet peppers and meat. I had it dipped. The meat was juicy and tender. I could have eaten two of these but I wasn’t sure how big it was. I also got a chili cheese dog. It was good but not as memorable as the beef. I would have to come back and try the cheesy Italian beef and Italian sausage. They have one single person restroom and a good amount of seats. I came at night so most of the orders were takeout. The staff was friendly.“

“Food was great. So so good. Try Homemade Sauce on the gyros!

Workers were kind, funny, and swift. Had us giggling with his humor

Atmosphere was cute. Although it is right on Ogden, it's tucked just enough back that 3 colorful picnic tables are out. We enjoyed eating there!“

“This place is so good. The Chicago-style hot dogs are legit and hit every time. The tacos are super flavorful, and the fries are always hot and perfectly crispy.
It’s just one of those easy go-to spots when you want something quick and really satisfying. So glad we have this place locally!“

“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!“

Love this is best place for gyros steak sandwiches and the fresh fries are the best!“

“Amazing, you got to try this place.“

“I have visited the restaurant in person and have always been pleased. But I wanted to give a shoutout for the catering order I placed for a holiday party for the apartment community I manage. The food was delivered on time, hot, packaged extremely well, nothing was missed. The girl who delivered it was so helpful she was even helped set up some trays as we were figuring out placement. The food was also delicious, we ordered ribs, chicken, pasta, and Greek potatoes. We will definitely order again! Thank you!“

“Honestly great place. Me and my friends have been going to this place all of our childhood and into our new adult lives and the place has always without fail meet and sometimes exceeded our expectations. It’s always a great time when we visit and the food is bomb! Great portion size and taste. The food is always ready fast and they have a lot on their menu. 10/10 would recommend😌“

“I’ve been coming to this place since it was Billy’s, still continue coming and I frequent more now actually, the place has been remodeled, clean, the owner is extremely friendly as well as the whole entire staff. You get a friendly welcome everytime you come in, now let’s get to the food! Always a 10/10 food is ALWAYS fresh, hot and full of flavor, a gyro under 15 bucks with a salad? You can’t beat that in this economy, a great variety of food from American to Greek.“

“Stopped in for dinner with my husband, who told me this was his childhood favorite, and I can see why. The entire inside of the restaurant is full of retro memorabilia that brought me back to my childhood, the quality of their food is top notch, and not to mention the portion sizes are 100% worth the price. Truly a solid 9.5/10 and we will definitely be returning to this location.“

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

“We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our taco and tequila-themed birthday party! Toni and her husband exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we reached out, they were incredibly responsive and worked with us to create a perfect menu. The taco bar was a huge hit—fresh, flavorful, and customizable to everyone's tastes. Guests raved about the variety and quality of the ingredients. Not only was the food outstanding, but Toni and her husband were a joy to work with. They set up everything beautifully, ensured everything ran smoothly, and were attentive throughout the event. Their passion for what they do truly shines through. We received countless compliments from our guests, and many asked for their contact information for future events. If you’re looking for a caterer who brings creativity, flavor, and professionalism, look no further than Toni and her husband!“

“I wish I took pictures, but we ate everything so quickly… IT’S JUST SO GOOD! We had the Korean hotdogs, mochi donuts and boba coffee and milk tea. Every week they have different mochi donut flavors, try them all! For the Korean hotdogs, you choose your flavor, then if you want mozzarella/sausage, and a dipping sauce. Also, the actual location is cute and inviting with extra seating in the back. Highly recommend!“

“I've been coming to this place for years. Places like this are not for people who are controlling their cholesterol or complaining about so much oil, which there isn't. Just dab it or don't order. But let's get to the point, the gyro plate is amazing. Fries are fresh and yes, i will be coming back again anf and again.“

“First of all the Bartender, Sabrina! What customer service! This is top notch All the way. The food is fantastic! I mean a mini beef with a Chicago style hotdog??? You can’t go wrong! Come on down, I would check this place out.. Atmosphere is a plus, you can sit outside too!!“

“It’s delicious for sure!!“

“First time there & I will be returning! Kind of expensive but my cheese burger had wonderfully melted cheese fresh lettuce!! A lot of burger could hardly finish it. Place itself was clean and friendly!!“

“My 5 star review is entirely in part due to the customer service from Sam/ Phil. We arrived and explained to Sam that we previously had a negative experience but that it was a while ago and we hadn’t had a chance to come back sooner. But we were told to come in and explain that we spoke to Phil and we’d be taken care of. Sam went to the back so speak with Phil on the matter of course and when he returned he took complete care of us, no questions. It’s simple customer service like this that will have us coming back to this location time and time again. Thank you Sam, thank you Phil. We appreciate your great customer service.“

“My family and I ordered the thin crust pizza and it was delightful not to mention the buffalo wings they were perfectly cooked and smothered with wing sauce! Our new favorite spot!“

“I love my chopped salad 🥗“

“Super cute and super nice staff“

“your no cash policy is a joke. sitting in drive thru for half an hr to be told you cant get food is ridiculous. then sit in line again for another 20 to just leave because you cant eat. DO NOT DINE AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT“

“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.“

“Absolutely the BEST Chicken Sandwich I have ever had! I got the Fried Chicken Club Sandwich, and it was fantastic! We live 2 hours South, and will make the drive for that sandwich!!“

“i would recommend as a one time experience. the food is greasy. a cheesy hotdog is almost $7. do you know how many hotdogs and buns you could buy for that money? very expensive. maybe as a treat once every 6 months. couldnt believe our bill.“

“Typical portillos. Solid options and taste. Central location and efficient staff. Limited parking.“

“Food always hot & fresh. Great frozen lemonades“

“Gyros bowl and Greek fries are the bomb!“

“Good burger and good fries. A little on the pricey side for me but they do give you alot of fries. Restaurant was very clean and comfortable. First time trying a five guys burger. Was pretty good but I have had better. If I didn't have another choice I would have again. Definitely will not go out of my way to get one. That being said it was not a bad experience, just not that impressed. Try for yourself, you might like the meal.“

“This review is not specific to the Willowbrook Portillo's. It is for the entire chain. Portillo's is a Chicagoland icon. Starting with a humble hotdog stand, Frank Portillo built an empire, with 95 locations across the USA. While they all have the same menu, they are all unique in their decor and atmosphere. Usually, the restaurants have a Chicago theme; gangsters from the '30s & '40s, rock and roll, moonshine, or sports; plus, music to match.

Now, the food. Hotdogs,Burgers, Italian Beef, Salads, and Pasta dishes are the specialties of the house, and Portillo's has perfected them. Everything is made to order and cooked to perfection. Place your order at the counter and 5 to 10 minutes later, you have a meal that will ensure you that you must return to try something else from the menu. Or, like me, you can come back over and over to get one of two things: a burger with onion rings, or a big dish of rigatoni with meat sauce.

Now, all that being said, if you go, you have to save room for dessert. Portillo's makes THE best chocolate cake on the planet. And they give you a huge slice of it. I usually eat half and save the rest for another day. If you don't like eating cake, 1) I feel sorry for you, and 2) you can get the famous Portillo's Chocolate Cake Shake. Yes, it is exactly what it sounds like; a milk shake with a whole slice of chocolate cake blended into it. My daughter absolutely loves it.

So, if you are visiting the Chicago metro area, make it a point to visit a Portillo's restaurant. If you live in the Chicago metro area, why are you Rea ding this? You already know...“
