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.

Best place to get an old-school burger, hot dog, or brat with fries. Shakes are hands down awesome. Can't beat the service and the owner. Recommend this to anyone that needs a burger and fries.

A great, tiny Chicago-style hot dog stand (although they serve excellent burgers, decent Italian beef, etc.). Everything is custom cooked, so you can get a badly burnt jumbo Vienna hot dog (my favorite) or a medium rare burger if you prefer. For whatever reason (like a Very low overhead, maybe), prices are substantially lower than most other local hot dog stands, too. And there are combos and daily specials. WARNING: parking is a BIG challenge.
