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.

My wife was craving hot dogs. So, we decided to try a new, to us, place. Food was OK. Service was fast and order was correct. I have a patty melt and tater tots. Wife had her hot dog and fried mushrooms. Wife decided she likes other places hot dogs better.

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.

Tonight was my first time dining at Max's Dawg House on Milwaukee Ave in Libertyville. I'm thrilled to report that the double hotdog meal was excellent and the fresh-cut, home-made (REAL!) French Fries were perfectly done. I love French Fries this way, particularly when they leave the potato skin on them...that's how you know they're REAL.My dining companion ordered the Veggie "Impossible" Burger and condiments (lettuce, tomato, onions and mayonnaise), which made the perfect combination of creamy, crunchy, cool and tart. Few places do vegetarian food that well.The cashier and the chef were pleasant and helpful, which is an exception in today's world, certainly not the rule.After we placed our order and paid, the food was ready just a few moments after we got our drinks and sat down. So the service, even though there's no wait staff, was excellent.The dining/customer seating area was clean and well lit.Bottom line, we shall be repeat customers and look forward to dining at Max's Dawg House with pleasant anticipation!Vegetarian options: The "Impossible" burger was great!

Quite frankly, I only come in when I have no other option. The food is pretty mediocre for the prices . I feel like they reuse the oil a little too much u can taste it .

Perfect Chicago hotdog ... great dog, fresh sesame seed bun, celery salt, hot peppers, sliced tomatoes, mustard, green relish. And lots of freshly cut fries.

I have only been in once, and I only ordered French fries, which are fresh cut. The portion was very nice, and plenty . The taste... some of the best that I've had in a long time. Nice employees that seem to be happy ( that's a plus ). Atmosphere is that of a typical Chicagoland dog spot at lunchtime, just a lot of people enjoying a good lunch. I will definitely be back for some lunch. This place also has a daily special.Kid-friendliness: ... it's a hot dog joint.

Went here for a quick lunch during work. Got the jumbo dog and cheese fries. Great spot with a special feel to it. Simple but done right - 5/5.

This is a typical greasy spoon and I WILL go back! I had a pizza puff (classic to this type of establishment). The grilled cheese was (picky) toddler approved. Their seasoned waffle fries were really tasty! And the Chicago style hot dog was okay (a little over cooked, per my husband). Not something I'd want to eat all the time (the pizza puff was so deliciously greasy), but it was good!
They treated a friend of mine very
