33 Best Hot Dogs near Evanston

“Thanks for serving great food! Can’t wait to try out the cheesy grits next time.“

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.“

“Corn dogs and fries. Among best I’ve had ANYWHERE!“

“Great place to pick up groceries for dinner, speciality items, or a quick delicious snack from D&D Dogs or the Rollin’ at D&D sandwich menu from the deli. Although it’s the exceptional customer service that makes this spot a go to over and over.“

“I first got introduced to this place circa 1958-59! I doubt it is the same ownership but their hotdogs topped off with sliced tomatoes and celery salt brings back memories of my youth-long ago. I still go there every time I visit Chicago.“

“no frills, always fast. my first choice for a north side late night burger, no question. earplugs available upon request for outdoor dining because their patio is located directly under the train, which should give you a decent idea of the overall vibe.“

“Got The Dogzilla and The Lord Byron burger, both Byron's style. Staff was very nice and quick and the food was great. If you're ever in the area, make a stop here. It's worth it. Awesome place and good food.“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

“I was only here for a few days but had to get a Chicago Dog! It was the best Chicago dog I’ve had in my years visiting. That poppyseed bun! I can’t wait to come back and try the unique dogs and sausages they offer. Cool art everywhere and just a good vibe. The pickles and the sport peppers are incredible. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic Chicago dog or something even more unique! Also service was kind and quick!“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“They have THE BEST Chicago style hotdogs .“

“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 .“

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

“Bob-O’s is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. Their burgers are juicy, the hot dogs have that perfect snap, and the fries are crispy perfection every single time. You can tell everything’s made with care — it’s comfort food done right.

The staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The place has a fun, casual vibe that’s perfect for families or a quick bite with friends.

Whether you’re craving a classic Chicago-style dog or a loaded burger, Bob-O’s delivers every time. Five stars all the way — easily one of the best spots around!“

“I stopped by J's Corner for lunch break, ordered a polish with everything, comes with free fries. THE best polish I've had in a long time. Been trying other restaurants, but nothing compares to this. 5/5 in my book, classic menu selection with good prices, will try the bulgogi that everyone raves about next time“

“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.“

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

“The quarter lb. chubby Vienna dog done on the grill is great, the fries are great and the service is great. My second experience and they are above par. So worth the vist. A quaint place with charm and good food.“

“The worker Zhyldyz was so kind and patient:). I believe she was alone but she was still kind even though being alone. She worked at a good pace and got our stuff out with good timing:). I could tell everything was made with care xD. I hope she had a wonderful rest of her day! ♡“

“hot dogs 🌭 was good the Place is clean The service was great I will be back“

“At first, I was a little apprehensive because this is inside the Home Depot, but the food was absolutely fabulous. The hotdog was great. 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“

“First time customer. Friendly staff and clean environment. Counter seating only. Fair prices for great quality food. The fries are great! I'm usually a skin on, flaccid fry lover (no jokes, please) but the fries here are crispy and thin without being overly salted. Gyros, off the spit, was generously portioned. Jack's is a solid choice for great Chicago-stand food!“

“Got The Dogzilla and The Lord Byron burger, both Byron's style. Staff was very nice and quick and the food was great. If you're ever in the area, make a stop here. It's worth it. Awesome place and good food.“

“tasty char dogs and delicious shakes, I had the banana and my brother enjoyed his oreo“

“First time enjoying Alley Dogs was great. The fish sandwich was crispy and tasty with the extra tartar sauce. The fries were soft on the inside and had a nice crunch externally. The staff was enjoyable to talk to until the food was ready pretty quickly!“

“Went in for a hotdog and some cheese fries. It was mid. The fries- if you like salt with your fries, this is the place for you. The abundance of salt was insane- not my taste preference but again. If you like salt- these are for you. You're getting a good amount for the price you are paying. Wish the guy was a bit more friendlier but I get it- it's a tiny business and it's a congested area filled with hipster restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it a 3 was because everything looked neat.“

“I love a Depot Dog so much that I will stop here without having to need to go to Home Depot.A Chicago Dog, chips and a drink for nearly $5 - AND IT ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD - heck yeah!! I know this might sound weird, but I did stop here on our way to go-karting for my bachelor party!“

“Incredibly delicious Chicago dogs and milkshakes.“

“Me and my faget wannabe beaner brother bart niedzialkowski used to go here when we're kids . I really enjoyed eating here when I was a kids after karate practice . This place never changed. My children go there a lot with my mom . Garlic gyros are the best .“

“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!“

“Great hot dogs and fries. Also loved the Chicken dinner special. This place helped me get through nursing school with cheap eats and friendly faces.“

“food is always great. service is top notch“
