50 Best Hot Dogs near Elmwood Park

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

“Solid great prices always people in and out all day and night.“

“Got the double dog Chicago Style and fries, fried shrimp mild (they make it spicy too) with cocktail sauce, cheese dip and a Pepsi. Went out back and enjoyed my meal at the outdoor seating.

After moving from North Carolina, I can no longer commit heresy and put ketchup on a hot dog. I'm straight up addicted to the Chicago Style dog. Didn't expect two in one bun, but it was delicious nonetheless. Fried shrimp was crunchy and soft. Definitely gotta try the spicy next time. Fries were rolled right up with the dog and I even put some of them in the dog too cause why the hell not? 10/10 I'll be back.“

“You can’t go wrong with the classic Chicago dogs here—perfectly prepared and served alongside a generous portion of crisp, hot French fries.

​While I haven't had a chance to try their cheeseburger yet, it seems to be a major crowd favorite based on what everyone else was ordering. I'll definitely be back to give it a shot. Clean, fast, and exactly what you want from a great local spot!“

“Ate at Jimmy's years ago . Hey JIMMY . Take some red hots to the announcers at the track this weekend . Get your name on the air . Your dad would bring Red Hots to the Field when Sal raced there .“

“Absolutely loved everything about Nicky's! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The restaurant was spotless, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The food was outstanding, and the hot dog was easily one of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. Between the delicious food, exceptional cleanliness, and fantastic customer service, Nicky's is a true hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked. I highly recommend stopping by—you won't be disappointed.“

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!“

“I must say I didn't know there were two Bob O's Restaurants in Chicagoland. VutI stopped in to try the Beef and the hot dogs. They were good but I like the beef on Irving Park more. But I would eat here again if I was in the hood.“

“Old school hot dog and sandwhich place. Taking a point off the dog for the missing poppy seed bun. Taking another point off because it is missing tomato (sign indicated this so I knew what I was getting). But adding a point cause the fries are legit. Is it my top dog ? No. But very tasty dog at a good value and a quality place by owners grinding out a living and for that, much respect.“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“The perfect combination of great customer service & great hot dogs and fries! Every time I’m in the Medical District area, I already know I’m stopping by Lulu’s l, so I save my appetite for when I get there and it never disappoints 😋 definitely my favorite hot dog spot!“

“The Best! The best fries, the best steak sandwich, the best hamburgers, the best everything!“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“Love this place I come all the way from Aurora to work in Des Plains and eat here Great Food love the fries great atmosphere staff always friendly bag a fries to go 😎💪“

“Iconic!! Came here in 2009. Great food at a great price! If you come to Chicago, you have to try Jim’s!!“

“Horrid! As a native Chicagoan I never expected to be disappointed by a neighbourhood hot dog stand. Yesterday, for the first time I went to Jr’s Red Hots. For starters they messed up the order of two hotdogs with fries. Instead we received two overcooked polish sausage with greasy fries. I couldn’t consume more than two bites of either. It was obvious the grill and oil from deep fryer aren’t routinely cleaned. Failed on a grand scale!!!! Never going back to Jr’s.“

“My FAVORITE grilled chicken sandwich! Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Great food, friendly staff, great service.“

It was my first Chicago hotdog and the hot peppers are very hot.! the guys behind the counter were very friendly… fantastic location, fantastic food highly recommend“

“Went for a late weekday lunch. Just ordered the Chicago dog, fries and soda. Hit the spot! More of a takeaway place for locals. No real parking, only paid street parking. A small counter to stand and eat if you'd like (I did). Nice owner.“

“We came here for lunch a few days ago unplanned after doing some work Resolution. I’m glad we did!!

We had a few dogs and I tried their gravy bucket which was amazing. Yes it was 90 degrees the other day but whatever, it was fire. Chili and Tamale in a cup. Super. The dogs were tasty and the fries were crispy.

The staff were friendly and the seating has a few booths. My big hang up was parking. It was limited on a Wednesday afternoon at 1p.

I can’t wait to come back.“

“This is a neighborhood staple! Good food great people!“

“I decided to visit again since it’s under new management, and there has definitely been a huge improvement! The new owner was the one that attended us, she was so sweet and very welcoming! She offered us a sample of goblin fries which were delicious!

Definitely coming back again :)“

“My sister told me to eat here even though I always drive without paying attention. Probably one of the best local burger shop in this area. Fresh cut fries and nice sloppy burger 🍔 very delicious and amazing price. For about $10, you get a huge order of burger and fries 🍟 CASH ONLY so be mindful!“

“Parky's Hot Dog is a fantastic place for a quick and delicious meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served promptly. The staff were welcoming and provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere was clean and enjoyable. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone craving a great hot dog.“

“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.“

“I’ve been going there for 35 years and I’ve never had a bad dog from this place. And the fries are made fresh in front of u. Always crisp. I believe that if u want a 20 dollar gourmet hotdog this ain’t the place. U wanna hood Chicago dog the way it’s suppose to be made, Jacks got it.“

“Good food an friendly service“

“Surprisingly, one of the best hot dogs in the area, maybe the city.

Their dragged through the garden link is quintessentially a classic Chicago Dog, served with a snappy link, a salty bouquet of fresh and pickled vegetables, and a soft warm poppy seed bun. The fries are also better than most crinkle cuts, and their fountain drink ratios are on point.

Really friendly staff too.“

“Delicious food and great customer service!“

“We often stop by this diner when we’re out running errands 😊🍽️ It’s a great little spot for a quick and satisfying bite without any hassle. My husband and I really enjoy coming here because the food is always consistent and tasty 👍✨
Their gyros are especially impressive - big in size, juicy, and full of flavor 😋🥙 The shoestring fries are always perfectly crispy and fresh, just the way we like them 🍟🔥 It’s hard to stop eating them once you start!
For the kids (and honestly adults too 😄), the corndogs are a popular favorite 🌭👏 and the Chicago-style hot dogs are also really well made and delicious 💯🌭 Overall, it’s a reliable place with good food, quick service, and a relaxed diner vibe that keeps us coming back 😊❤️“

“Incredibly delicious Chicago dogs and milkshakes.“

“After reading that Hubby's recently joined Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame recently I had to pay a visit especially it being so close to my house. The staff was extremely polite and incredibly friendly! The Hotdogs were top tier and delicious. After the experience, this is now my go to spot for Chicago style hotdogs!“

“First time trying this GEM! AMAZING food! Never have been here before, but we'll worth it. Steak burger and a polish with fries. So good!“

“Great selection and halal!“

“Polecam bardzo miła obsługa a przede wszystkim piękne kobiety“
