Wow. There are only a few foods you eat that change your life forever. A Chicago dog from Mustards Last Stand is one of those things. This isn’t a-try when you can- food. This is a drive halfway across the country to eat food.

Typical hotdogs, it's more the experience of Mustards Last Stand plus it's right beside the Welsh-Ryan arena, so u get crowds from the events happening there.

Not as good as when I was a kid..over 40 years ago. No poppy seeds on stale bun. Both dog and bun barely hot.. 11.50 for 2 dogs seem very high, but it is the north shore. I'll stick to Portillos.

Grabbed a hot dog and burger. Both we made just how I wanted. The burger was really good. The fries were fresh and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be going back

Mustard's Last Stand reminds me of one of those old school hot dog stands on the West Side of Chicago. Great snap to the Chicago dog and the fries are on point. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive and well. Last time I was there was when the old stadium was being demolished.

Parking: There are only a few parking spots left on the side of the building. There are more parking spots on the street and if you're lucky in the lot just east of Mustard's. Park there at your own risk.

The food is definitely five star worthy - delicious and classic Chicago flavor. The reason for the rating? The prices are outrageous and it's not like the portions are all that big. Overall still worth a visit, but there are cheaper options around that are equally tasty.

Been going here for 38 years. Place is amazing. I live in Minnesota and when I’m back in Chicago I go down to mustards for some childhood memories of amazing hotdogs and fries and shakes. Great people and great food.

Nestled beside Northwestern University's football stadium (currently under reconstruction), Mustard's Last Stand has earned its place as a beloved local institution. While its unassuming exterior might suggest otherwise, this hot dog and burger joint serves up some of the most authentic Chicago-style fare you'll find in the area.

The star of the menu is their Vienna Beef hot dog, prepared the true Chicago way - loaded with traditional fixings (and true to Chicago tradition, don't even think about asking for ketchup!).
Their thin-cut french fries make the perfect accompaniment, and their burger selection is equally satisfying. A hidden gem on their menu is their horchata - be sure to try a sample of this refreshing beverage.

What sets Mustard's apart isn't just the quality of their food, but their unwavering consistency in both service and atmosphere. The environment is refreshingly unpretentious, offering both indoor seating and covered outdoor tables for warmer days. Their extended hours are a particular blessing, especially when other establishments in the area have closed for the evening.
Pro tip: When ordering, don't hesitate to ask for topping recommendations - the staff knows their craft and can guide you to the perfect combination for your taste.

The restaurant has become a regular stop for both locals and visitors, proving its worth as a family-friendly destination. Whether you're a Northwestern student, a Chicago hot dog purist, or simply someone in search of a satisfying meal, Mustard's Last Stand delivers a consistently enjoyable dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more.

Highlights:
- Authentic Chicago-style Vienna Beef hot dogs
- Crispy thin-cut french fries
- Delicious horchata
- Indoor and outdoor seating options

(My apologies for not including a photo - I was so excited to dig into my perfectly prepared Chicago dog and crispy fries that I completely forgot to snap a picture before devouring them!)
