Great place to grab a hotdog, but avoid anything out of their deep fryer. I got fries with my hotdogs & they were terrible. They should've changed their oil probably two days before I stopped in. The fries looked terrible & tasted just as bad.

Stale bun but excellent fries.
Service was slow.
It shouldn't take 15 mins. to put a hot dog together when there's no line.

10+ minutes wait for two dogs and fries was a little annoying. 5 stars for the fries but there’s no excuse for the stale bun

Good little dog spot with all your classic cylindrical meats , gyros, and burgers. People were friendly and spicy Ditka was delicious.

Chicago style food is probably the one type of grub that never ever gets old on me and I'm constantly in the mood for it.I know for some folks out there that as soon as they see the big V logo sign for Vienna Beef or the Red Hot Chicago that it's "meh, just another Chicago style grill and they're all the same."This past January on a rainy Friday night, my family & I were in the area gettin' out of Lake Bluff and I was in the mood for a good gyros sandwich.My wife loves gyros as well and I figured we've never been here before so why not. I'm actually glad I stopped in being I loved the taste of the gyros, the Chicago dog and the world class fresh cut fries.Max"s is a gem in Libertyville and the local residents should be happy to have it. I can only imagine this place gets swarmed during lunch hours in the middle of the work week with contractors, car dealership employees and oodles of takeout orders.With a competitor such as Portillo's which is extremely popular in the city and suburbs which I've had my fair share of, I'd rather eat here. Not aware of any Portillo's location at least not in Lake County that serves gyros or fresh cut fries.That's something that the owner(s) of Max's can be proud of and I'm always happy to support local. I'm getting that craving just by typing this, can't wait to head back to Max's Dawg House.Small but clean dining area with friendly service servin' up awesome Chicago eats at fair prices. Hope this place stays open for decades to come!

Max's Dawg House is an iconic place in Libertyville. The people there are amazing and the food is even better. Fantastic spicy sausage, amazing charred cheese dog and one of the best gyros anywhere. Oh, and by the way, freshly cut fries. Love this place.

I just started a new job in the area and was looking to get a bite to eat nearby before my shift and tried Max's Dawg house. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with diverticulitis which means I can't really have buns with seeds anymore. The owner/manager was very nice when I entered. He was polite and answered my questions about if I could get a hamburger bun without seeds which I was. Honestly ever since I got diagnosed with diverticulitis I thought I could never go to a Chicago style restaurant again but I've never been happier to be wrong about something like that. Also their food is reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
