“Staff has changed over the years and they aren't their strongest right now. Call in orders should be simple but the cashier was very spacey and didn't want to charge me for what all I ordered thank God for the older cooks that kept telling her what I ordered!! And for a pick up it took awhile to just pick it up. Won't be going for a while“

“I’ve been having a major cheese fry craving lately so I decided to stop by Redhot’s to satisfy my taste buds. I ordered some cheddar fries and they were slamming, I wish I bought two.
My gf got the double cheese burger and she loved it!
One thing to keep in mind is that they are cash only but the prices are super reasonable and well worth it. I can’t wait to come to back, because there’s nothing like supporting local businesses with great 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.“

“Tried for the first time and they just hit my top five for sure. The beef was super tasty, moist and the portion was very generous. the gravy very flavorful not greasy or salty. Their bread is soft yet still holds together when you get the sandwich dipped this may be my new favorite place. Under $10!!!! You guys know what your doing 100%“

“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“

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a step. So getting in with a wheelchair is slightly difficult. Thankfully I can actually stand up and walk short distances“

“Food is absolutely delicious5, everything I've tried. I'm ready to have it again. I just wish they would trim the one inches high entryway outside a bright yellow. I've even red around the yellow to draw attention to the "trip", at other establishments. It's just an accident waiting to happen. Thank you.“

“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! ♡“

“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.“

“I am a very huge fan of smaller scale restaurants that can be found hiding in the city. Family-owned businesses are typically the ones that have the best food because they do not necessarily look into mainstreaming menus and recipes. with smaller restaurants, you can typically find amazing price opportunities as well as some unique food that has not been released to the broad market. It almost makes locations like this become a treasure if you come across them. Huge shout-out for Lola's. Amazing dogs, burgers, shakes! give them a try when you get the chance. For me, it was worth every penny!“

“This place really hit the spot. Just one of those classic Chicago spots where the focus is all about the food. You can smell the grilled sausage and onions as soon as you walk in, that alone had me sold.
I ordered the Polish sausage, I just wanted something solid. But this one totally surprised me. It was loaded with chopped onions, thick tomato slices, a big crunchy pickle, and a couple sport peppers. Not your usual Maxwell Polish.
The sausage was grilled just right, nice and crisp on the outside, and super juicy when I bit into it. It came out hot, fresh, and fast, maybe a 5-minute wait. The staff was super friendly and welcoming.
If you're looking for a solid Polish or just want to try something that feels classic Chicago, this is it.“

“Lulu’s Hot Dogs is a hidden gem in University Village. I swung by for lunch and grabbed the 2 Hot Dog Special with fries and a drink. The dogs were loaded with all the classic Chicago toppings—mustard, relish, onions, pickles, tomatoes, sport peppers, and a sprinkle of celery salt. The fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. If you're in the area, this spot is a must-visit for authentic Chicago-style dogs.“

“The guy behind the counter was a little gruff and curt with me, but once he saw that I had my dog with me, he warmed up a bit. Otherwise, the hot dogs were tasty, but I was expecting more tots than what was served to me. Also, the way that the restaurant was shot in the photos listed online were very deceptive; way smaller space than expected, and really no place to sit and enjoy your food.“

“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!“

“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“

“I hit up The Dog Stop at lunchtime and dropped about $14—snagged the Chicago-style hot dog & fries. The dog had that legendary Vienna Beef snap, properly “dragged through the garden” with all the fixin’s—no ketchup, of course. The fries were hot and golden. Staff was friendly and quick, and the size hit me just right. Chill neighborhood spot—made me feel straight at home in the city.“
“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!“

“Great food! Even better service! Shout out to Lynn, she was absolutely a delight! Helped me out with my order. I was overwhelmed by the choices and she helped me narrow them down. I got to admit, while I was dilly dallying she didn’t even rush me and encouraged me to follow my heart! Such a good vibe. Left with a bag full of good food and a beaming smile on my face!“

“Zalman's has become one of my go-to spots, especially for their Schnitzel Pastrami Panini—it’s absolutely fantastic. The sandwich has the perfect balance of flavors, with the crispy schnitzel and flavorful pastrami layered together in a warm, toasty panini. The fries are always hot and fresh, seasoned just right, and the corn dog is a surprisingly delicious addition that hits the spot every time. You can really tell everything is made with freshness in mind. For a quick, tasty meal that doesn’t“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I came before they were closing and he took care of me , I absolutely love JJ Fish & Chicken! Every time I go, I order the chicken tenders, and they are always fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. The customer service is excellent—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and quick to help. It’s hard to find a spot that consistently delivers great food and service, but JJ Fish & Chicken nails it every time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious food and a great experience!“

“Classic American cheeseburger. Basic but delicious. The bun was soft, the lettuce and tomato were crisp and fresh, the pickles were perfect, the patty was delicious. I’d give it an 8/10 but would be 8.5 or 9 if the edges of the cheese slice were melted. The service was quick and to the point. Maybe could be cheaper, but for late night food, it’s a great choice!“

“I moved from Chicago 40 years ago and haven't been to Parky's since I was a kid. It was our go-to hot dog spot prior to 1972 when we moved from River Forest. Going back was such a thrill for me after so long, and it hasn't changed! I had forgotten that these dogs come off the grill and aren't soaking in hot dog water for hours (not there is anything wrong with an HDW soak). I love a nice char on my dogs, so this was a pleasant surprise. So glad I made the detour!“
