“Gene and Jude's is my preferred destination for Vienna hotdogs. I typically opt for mine plain with a double dog, and it consistently meets the expectations of both myself and my family. I've also tried their tamales, which are of high quality. The popularity of this establishment is evident from the long lines often seen outside. The employees are courteous and welcoming. I highly recommend this establishment and believe you will enjoy it as well.“

“Best Sandwiches around - Steak Sandwich - Shish Kabob Sandwich - Italian Sausage or beef or combo you cannot go wrong - Mike and family are the best people. The fries are fresh cut and does the double fry so crispy outside and fluffy and soft inside.“

“Classic spot in Chicago for a Polish! Great food, friendly service, and an old school walk up window experience.Parking: One side if the street has free 15 min parking and the other side has paid parking with no limits.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly! Order at the window and eat outside or in your car!“

“If you are lucky enough to get Juan B as your service person, you will have just as rich an experience as the taste of the dog you order.Vegetarian options: I am not a vegan, but my friend is, so I decided to try a vegan dawg Chicago style. I did not regret it. It was a delicious experience.“

“Man this place is such a GEM. I’ve lived in the area for years in different spots and always end up ordering from here frequently. Their consistency is spot on. Their burgers are actually delicious. For SLIGHTLY more than the cost of fast food you could eat a real burger and fries. It’s not gonna be a fancy “artisan” burger or hot dog. You pay a cheap price for food that was made with classic Chicago charm and no pretentious intent. I will always gas this place up to my friends, I hope it stays here forever, would give it 10/5 if I could.“

“My favorite Mochinut so far!!!! ?They're eager to help you and if you're indecisive like me then that's a huge help!!!! I wnjoyed the recommendations and so far they're my new FAVORITE items!!!!!! The Ube Donut and Hot Cheetos with Beef Sausage and Cheese with avocado sauce are what I got and really enjoyed!“

“I’m born and raised in Chicago and this was my first time at this place. Their beefs are good quite smaller than what I’ll get in the neighborhood restaurants but they’re good. Served with no cheese but you won’t miss it. I’ve went to this place 4/5 times since I found out about it. You won’t be “

“Love love love.Had everything on the menu, twice. All great.Service is amazing. Order, go upstairs to murphy's and they'll bring it up.The people who own and run it are wonderful warm and friendly people.FWIW, I loved them so much they catered my wedding.Go! Enjoy! Don't even try to use the ketchup.“

“THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY. GOOD: I only go twice a year because it's not healthy, but oh so good. I get the same thing: polish, easy mustard, easy relish, extra onions; fries, no salt. I always feel so guilty & don't tell my family I eat there 'cause everyone's on a health kick in my family these days But I grew up in the neighborhood, still live not too far & have fond memories. Everything was hot like it's supposed to be. BAD: Staff not very friendly, never have been; act like they want to be somewhere else. The one that served me looked pissed. UGLY: NO KETCHUP -- I need ketchup for my fries! I know they're known for not having ketchup (it's a Chicago thing). I usually ask for it just to mess with them, but I didn't this time because like I said, the guy at the counter looked pissed off. And yes, I will be back, later on this year.“

“Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.“

“I hadn't been here in about 15+ years. Finally came back. Ordered a sweet beef, hot beef, chicken tenders, & fries for $30. Everything was great! Prices are pretty low given the crazy inflation going on right now. Quick service. Will definitely be back“

“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!“

“Kong Dog is a unique take on a hot dog and very creative. We had the Cheetos and Potatoes half and half dog. Both were fresh, tasted good and had incredible cheese pull from the cheese portion. It is certainly a speciality kind of a place rather than a quick stop in for a "regular" meal however.“

“Went to Lulu's with family I had two Polish sausage meals they were cooked hot and fresh My other family member had a gyro sandwich that was delicious well proportioned.I look forward to coming back for a nice down-to-earth place if you have time ,I suggest you please stop by You won't regret it.“

“This is a no nonsense Chicago spot. The signage was probably put up when my grandpa was a kid walking down Taylor street flipping a quarter. Anyway, the combo sandwich was excellent. I've been eating a lot of mediocre beef sandwiches lately and this place is worth checking out because their sandwich was outstanding“

“I remember as a young child...eating the Best Hotdog Ever...and it was Dave's...our parents took us there on weekends for special treats....Thank you for the Precious memories and still Best Hotdog Ever...Positive Power Always Precious Friends...Kid-friendliness: Always made us feel welcome as children.“

“Such a great Chicago Dog! Great service! The best hot dog I've ever had. We have never been to Chicago and they gave us a Chicago Dog on the house.Kid-friendliness: The corn dog was a hit with my kid. They had Jenga on the tables to play with.“

“Great food. Service could of been better. I entered my name at the kiosk, but they were calling order numbers. But my name was on the receipt. They gave me the wrong food but I gave it back. They made me feel like a jerk for taking the wrong food. Other than that, everything was great! A Chicago must!“

“Clark Street Dog, a fun little bar that has all the charm that a Chicago bar should. The food is some of the best, the wings are always juicy, and the Philly is a must. If you’re unsure, make sure to consult with Ancella. Who’s amazing and vibrant personality really brings this place together. Come here for a quick beer, or bring friends for a couple shots. Either way fun ensures.“

“Hot and delicious and pure Chicago, the perfect first stop on our tour of Chicago from South Bend. No ketchup on our dogs today! Kim and Carlo's was ready for us and will be ready for your large group too. Don't miss this view!“

“This is an institution in Skokie! I wish you could give it more stars. The hotdogs are sensational. The burgers are the best around the french fries what dreams are made of their chicken breast sandwiches satisfying any non-meat lovers appetite everything there is excellent. The staff is great the owners great, thank you so much for being here and providing the great food. If you're in Skokie, do not miss this place the chain that begins with P and ends in OS cannot compare.“

“In the area found myself here and I'm glad I did. Ordered a double cheeseburger ? this was made perfectly. I mean like a real homemade burger with grilled onion, cheese, and two well-seasoned burger patties. 9.3. The burger came out hot n fresh plus the cheese melted making this a messy, gooey, rich burger. It's cash-only here thou, but for me, this place is a gem probably in my top 10 for burgers in the city.“

“Stopped here for a late night bite. I got a single cheeseburger with everything on it and my boyfriend got the Big Daddy Burger. My burger was good, but nothing special. The big daddy burger was given a 10/10 and I personally tried the gyro meet and it was pretty tasty. We shared an order of fries and they were super crispy.“

“I placed an order online for pickup. Be sure to check that your order is complete before leaving. I was missing items from my order but only found out once I returned to my hotel.The Italian beef sandwich was my favorite! Make sure to get extra gravy!The ribs were melt in your mouth delicious, highly recommend it!Meatball was flavorful.Chicago hot dog was definitely interesting to try. I ordered the jumbo size but it looked like a regular sized hot dog.“

“Late night craving for sweets were satisfied with these mochi donuts. Had the churro, hibiscus tea, and pistachio - fan of the churro as it was nice and hot.We were staying at the hostel in the area and passed by around 10pm on a Friday. Small family business with great service.“

“I love this place for a great Chicago dog and fries! They always have awesome toppings and the way it comes together when you eat it is amazing. Add some fries and you are getting tons of the best crispy, delicious fries. I think there fries are better that McDonald’s!“

“I've driven past this place so many times and I finally decided to try it out. Only carry-out and delivery right now with the pandemic. I ordered 2 Big Island Classic burgers, 1 smokehouse burger, and another basic burger with one small cheese fry. It took 25-30min for preparation. This seems to be a 2 man operation (dad and maybe his daughter) and it was at prime lunchtime. I didn't realize the description online said the island and smokehouse burgers were on french bread so that was a surprise but not bad. Personally, we weren't the biggest fans of how the burgers were cooked, charred and well-done, but the toppings were great and my sister said the ketchup to mayo ratio on hers was perfect! The cheddar fries are Merkt's cheddar which I now know isn't my favorite but for those that like Merkt's, there is lots of it and covers all the fries. Thanks for lunch, Little Island :-)“

“My Wife and I were blown away at how tasty the food was. Everything was very flavorful and well seasoned. And the prices were great for the portion sizes which were generous. My Fire Burger especially was a good full sized burger. And best of all everything was halal.Everyone working here was very polite and accommodating. They let us go into the back to wash our hands before we ate.The inside seating is very limited since this is a very small place. They did have an outside seating area so in the summer time there is more seating. They had an extensive menu including delicious Mexican food.“

“I'm a little embarrassed to admit I was born in Chicago (and lived here the past 10 years) and have never tried a Maxwell style polish.So after leaving a movie at the nearby Regal, I decided to stop in here to finally experience one.And boy was I NOT disappointed.I feel incredibly luck to have a place like this that is open relatively late on the north side.The service was great, the prices very reasonable, and the music, cleanliness and vibes immaculate.And the polish piled high with grilled onions and mustard plus a few peppers and a can of orange pop... just perfection.I'd like to try some of the other items on the menu (bone in pork chop sandwich!?!)... but it will be hard to not order just the polish and fries (which are included with the sausage!)“

“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.“

“H I wanted to try Korean cheese dog for the first time, but the egg toast looked delicious so I half-heartedly gave it a try.The store staff is kind and speaks good Japanese, which is refreshing.The toast itself was delicious, the eggs were fluffy, and there were a variety of sauces to choose from.“

“You know, this is a great location and the people who work there really try to be nice and friendly. However, they someone have to put up with a lot of people with horrible attitudes. I'm sure it wears them down. Takeaway? Be nice, people!“

“I have been coming here for almost 2 decades when I'm visiting the area.The best part here is they can split and grill your Polish Sausage which brings out the flavor from the center of the sausage. They listen carefully to your instructions and they are very quick here.There is two places that compete on this street a few steps away from each other. Make sure you go to the one that says "Express Grill".“

“This was the most phenomenal Chicago hot dog I've ever had in my 63 years. Just outstanding! The flavor, texture and taste of the all-beef and accompanying fries was simply delicious - a real bargain for the cost, too. A family-run business that could not have been more welcoming. I look forward to my return!“

“I’m obsessed with their grilled chicken salad. It’s made right there on the spot and has the best, juiciest chicken. The service is always super friendly, and it’s a happy, fun décor. My kids have loved going here since they were little and we always swing by when we are in the area.Kid-friendliness: Great food and shakes“

“The vibe of this place is cool and my friend and I truly enjoyed our food! We can’t wait to come back! My friend got the chicken tenders and I got the Chicago dog and we shared a bag of fries(which was a great size for the price) and we were agreeing that when we move here in a few months that this will be the spot for our lazy dinner nights“

“A basic, unassuming hotdog stand right next to the Field Museum. They have the regular Chicago dog (onions, mustard, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt, pickle spear). They also have vegetarian and turkey dogs as well as polish dogs. You can have the basic toppings mentioned above as well as chili, cheese, and sauerkraut. You can also purchase water or canned soda and chips. All combos (dog, chips, drink) appear to around 10-11 dollars (prices reflect a 3% cash discount). You can enjoy one after leaving one of the museums while checking out water views!“

“Came here for another corn dog. My wife and really Luke the original kong dog with half beef and half cheese, so we got 4 of them. The corn dogs are good, I just wished the stick wasn't so long. Every time you take your first bite, you will bite into the stick. Otherwise, everything is good here.“
