Love this place... use to come here since I was in 5th grade many years ago, and now I'm bringing my kids also to eat here. We take a 40 min drive just to have lunch here once a month

Cute little place for lunch. I tried the vegan dog Chicago style and thought it was good! Service was great and the restaurant was very clean.

As a Chicagoan, I know my hot dogs, and left bank is, in my opinion, the only acceptable choice for delicious and high quality hot dogs in the area. If you know lake forest, you know it’s a town that takes pride in its history and tradition, and no place exemplifies this history and tradition quite like left bank. This modest little hot dog place has been operating for over 60 years at the same location in market square! New owners in the past couple of years have also done an excellent job of honoring this rich history by returning to the original recipes served in the 60s! Left bank is one of those spots that all the lake forest locals have been coming to their entire lives. Whether you’re in town for college, are just passing through, or even if you’ve lived in the area your whole life, you absolutely have to give these incredible hot dogs a try—careful though, because you’re bound to end up hooked just like myself and everyone else who’s had the privilege of tasting the delicious options available at left bank.

If you’re looking for an authentic Chicago style hot dog, this is the best place you could possibly go. Their food is always amazing and the staff are extremely friendly. Once you’ve had The Left Bank, you’ll never be able to enjoy any other hot dogs the same way again… but it’s worth it.
