26 Best Hot Dogs near Island Lake

“ordered 2 chicago style hot dogs, Italian beef combo w/ mozzarella cheese and Giardiniera, jalapeño poppers and onion rings. $33.00 ☹️ the combo had barely any beef or Giardiniera on it. the onion rings were a big clump of a soggy greasy mess. the poppers were soggy too. They were not edible, threw them away. I don't know what happened, they used to be really good.“

“Everything I’ve tried so far has been amazing! Fresh ingredients, clean establishment, and friendly staff. The steak and chicken Philly and burgers are my go to but the gyros are amazing as well. The fries are addicting! Give em a try and I’m willing to bet you’ll be a regular.“

“Good place. Consistently good food v“

“Tried the new menu item Gyros. Hope they keep it on the menu. They were great. The Tzatziki Sauce which makes a Gyro was perfect with enough cucumbers. We now have a new place to go to for Gyros. Last, I had just about everything on their menu and everything is delicious.“

“It's been over two weeks since my family and I visited The Polish American Bistro. It would be remiss of me not to leave a wonderful review of this lovely restaurant! Ania and Darek, the owners, are the nicest and most hospitable people ever! Since I have family in Poland, it was fun to talk to them about their homeland. Now about their food . . . it's completely amazing! I ordered galumpki (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage). The tomato sauce on top was so delicious, it spun circles around the sauce my grandma used to make (sorry, Grandma!)! My husband ate a breaded pork cutlet with mashed potatoes. SO tasty! And my daughter opted for a cheeseburger that looked and tasted so great that we even returned the next day to order another cheeseburger to go! Our entrees were accompanied by a side of two types of salad - one made of marinated red cabbage, and the other was their super delectable authentic Polish sour cream, cucumbers and dill. As you can tell, our dinner itself was a 5-star experience. Last but not least, I must discuss their DESSERTS! When you walk into Ania and Darek's restaurant, your eyes will immediately be drawn to their multi-tier display of desserts. Unfortunately, since our stomachs were full after our delicious dinner, we couldn't even think of dessert. However, take-home was still an option! So I asked Ania to escort me to the dessert case and tell me about her sweet treats. It turns out she owns a bakery in another suburb, and all the desserts are made on location at the bakery FROM SCRATCH! So we took a few home (see photo), ate them the next evening, and they did not disappoint! I loved them all, especially the vanilla custard inside the eclair and fruit tart! The chocolately hazelnut dessert was a Kinder Bueno torte. I want to go back and try more of these amazing treats! You should really go check out The Polish American Bistro, whether or not you are Polish! They have food for everyone. Dziękuję Ania and Darek!“

“Exceptionally excellent food and peeps!!!“

“Great selection of fast foods. Fast, friendly service. Reasonable prices and the best hot Dogs in the whole Universe!“

“They have outstanding sandwiches. #18 is our favorite and is great as a salad, too, but you really can't go wrong. Everything is consistently delicious, high quality, and priced well!“

“Hi. I’m Julie. Just moved to the area. Love Lake Villa. Coming from years in Cook County, where small mom and pop hamburger stands are a plenty I was so pleased to find R-Dog.

Friendly staff, always smiling. The character of the antiques that harken back to a simple way of life are a welcome respite in today’s busy world.

Food is amazing, always piping hot. I highly recommend the gyros plate, with its over abundance of fresh meat. Soft warm pita beckons for the cool cucumber sauce. My mom’s #1 guilty pleasure.

Next time you’re in the area, check them out.. Happy munching.“

“Scotties hot dogs reminds me Of gene and Jude's Hot dogs I like going to the place because they welcome me with smiles I recommend this place to anyone who wants a good old fashioned Chicago hot dog🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭“

“very clean, great menu, personal service. highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by for dinner at lunch and they do serve cocktails“

“Wow best Chicago hot dog I have ever had, service was great. My new go to place.“

“Five stars for five guys! Friendly service evrry single time and our burgers are literally always sizzled to perfection! Dont forget to get a bag of their delicious fries. You know it's decent when you see familiar faces who've been there at least a year.“

“Best hotdog and fries in town!! Fast service, friendly staff.“

“My last visits to this Tommy’s Red Hots on Friday, August 1st, 2025 was pretty much good. The second time I went in to eat my dinner. They were running a bit behind on making food but overall the experience was fine. The pizza is always delicious. The staff is so polite and respectful here. (Written 8-10-25)“

“They've always had such great pizza. Been coming here since I was young and its still as good as I remember it- sauce with a good amount of herbs and flavor, pretty standard cheese and a chewy flavorful crust. They got rid of the lower patio, which sucks, but its still a good slice. I dont go anywhere else for pizza in McHenry. Bring cash, they have a deal for people who dont use cards.“

“Good location. My first time here. The food was hot and fresh. The service was quick and efficient. Ilthe atmosphere was cool and calm. Very enjoyable. The staff was friendly and the food tasted great. We will patronize this location again if in the area.

Parking: They have a large lot to accommodate many vehicles.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and easily accessible doors and tables.“

“The food , portion sizes , and prices are great but the chairs are unpadded and feel like sitting on cold concrete. On a cold day it's just as cold in the dine in area. as it is outside. Please turn up the heat out of consideration for the senior customers.“

“Regardless of which location you go to whether some if not all locations are owned by the same person/family, you can never go wrong with Sammie's.

Whether it's a Chicago-style dog, Italian beef sandwich, gyros, burger ( Samburger) or Maxwell St. Polish sausage, fries; Sammie's knows how to do it and they do Chicago-style grub extremely well.

First time ever trying this particular location was this past April and was definitely well worth the price. Chicago-style food is a way of life and a culture that should be practiced if living in the Chicago area.

Clean dining room with friendly service and delicious bites at still reasonable prices make this venue another hot spot for awesome Chicago fare. I wish for many years of continued boomin' business for the owner(s).“

“best place ever an the workers awesome real nice food is amazing“

“Yet to have a burger there I didn’t like. Gyro platters are loaded too. All at a great price“
