“Thee place for the hot dog. Definitely a staple in the community. There is typically a line, but it moves quickly. Staff is friendly and moves quickly. Restaurant is clean. No tables, but there is a ledge for people to eat of necessary.I ordered a double dog. It comes with fries. Everything was fresh. Order was ready within minutes.Parking: Lots of parking available.“
“Juiciest burger in Illinois! I've never been to Au Cheval, but several people have told me that paradise pups burger tops Cheval. The bun is tasty, patties are fresh, and the sauce is out of this world. Parking is a bit cramped and be prepared to wait but these burgers are WORTH IT!“
“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.“
“This place has been saved in my "want to go list" for a while. I was walking by after a long afternoon, and decided to get some food to cheer me up. There were some other people waiting for orders, chatting with the employees. It was such a warm welcoming vibe that instantly cheered me up (what a cliche)! The man who took my orders was so sweet, he gave me some suggestions, and an extra soda The food smelled soooooo good. When I sat down on the bus, the girl next to me asked where my takeout was from, and we chatted about chicken wings until I got off.Prices were super reasonable. I'm not a food photographer, my bad, but I got:- Chicken Wings w/ Seoul Sassy (it comes with garlic bread!)- Chicago Dog- Korean Beef Rice BowlMy roommate and I loved everything, and had leftovers for round 2!I don't usually leave reviews, but really wanted to shout out this awesome place for shattering my high expectations! ❤️“
“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.“
“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’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 “
“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.“
“Pulaski and Grand ave in Chicago. My neighborhood. Best Hot Dogs ever! Try them you won’t be disappointed! Been going there since 1973 - went to Nobel School across Grand ave. School name has since changed. Best homemade fries! Best Dogs! ?✌️“

“Visited for the first time today and the food absolutely delivered. I got a single cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate shake and my wife got an Italian beef with Swiss cheese and hot peppers, DUNKED of course, and it was everything you could possibly want. 10/10 will be back again.“
“I love this place. Everytime I'm in town and in the area, I hit this place up. Great value for a Chicago Institution!Parking: Plenty of parking, lot is tight for any really large vehicle, but adequate parking for regular sized vehicles. Also some street parking available if needed.“
“Cash only! Went with the double cheeseburger and fries as well as the hot dog. The burger was two smash patties with American cheese. The patties were crispy with the edges being even crispier. The lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce were all typical. The fries reminded me of five guys just not as tasty. They also got cold quickly which didn't help. Finally, the hot dog was a regular boiled dog that was slightly sweet. Definitely a contrast to the burger. Even though it's cash only, you only need $8 for a double cheeseburger. Combing the price and taste, well worth a visit.“
“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.“
“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“
“Try either of the hot dogs. My favorite was the Whoopskidawg. My husband liked the Superdawg better. Great place for trying authentic Chicago food and the history is great and atmosphere was so fun! We tried 2 types of beer also and they were very good with the dogs. Oh and a chocolate malt for dessert was nice to take on a walk by the river behind the restaurant.“
“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.“
“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.“
“careful when ordering from here the foods so good they're gonna end up taking all my money ? the amount of fries they give you is crazy I rather go here than a five guys restaurant ANY day . hope this place never changes I live on the south side but I'm definitely going to try everything on their menu .“
“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.“
“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.“
“this place is awesome, i have gone her my whole life and the food has never changed in quality, it is amazing. the owner and his wife give amazing service and are always extremely nice. this place overall is perfect and it goes to show that the size of things does not matter but the inside of things does.“
“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 ordered a dozen Mochinuts for pickup 4 times now and not only is everyone in the Fullerton store helpful and welcoming, but the donuts are delicious and an office favorite. Everyone wants them when we're celebrating a birthday and they are truly a treat! Please open a location in Avondale!“
“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 :-)“
“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!)“
“Fresh cut fries crisped to golden brown to order, wrapped in paper with the simply dressed red hot: yellow mustard, relish, onion, optional sport peppers. Always hits the spot, and friendly fast service.Parking: Depending on the season, the large lot can fill up.“
“Speaking as a tourist, not an expert in Chicago-style hot dogs or anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The shop is small with only a few tables but the vibe and decor were very cute, eg. the maps, paintings, and portrait of Anthony Bourdain. We got a Chicago-style dog for a snack, and the presentation with all the toppings was beautiful. As a first-time tryer, I was surprised by how much I liked the hot dog. A lot going on - the snappy sausage, sour pickled cucumber, fresh tomatoes, and savory relish - but everything came together nicely and created a balanced bite. It was on the salty side so a sufficient amount of water was a must.“
“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.“
“Incredible customer service! Christine + Anthony were working today and gave me the full red carpet treatment (first time ever eating Mochinuts!). Mochnuts are an incredible novelty we just discovered! (Imagine a chewy donut). Highly recommend pairing food with the refreshers!! So as long as I'm in the area I'm probably going to be a weekly or bi-weekly return customer.“

“I have been meaning to try Dear Franks for some time and I am glad I finally did. I ordered the #5 Italian Sausage combo meal with some sweet peppers and it was delicious. And it came with a ton of fries. I ordered the Dear Franks Famous Cheddar Cheese to go with my fries and I highly recommend that. Yum! My only complaint with it was that it was over $15 for the combo meal (not counting the cheddar cheese) which seemed a bit high to me. My wife ordered the #6 Cheeseburger combo meal and it was also very good. My kids each ordered the hotdogs and reported back that they were tasty. I was kind of surprised how large it was inside. For some reason, I thought it was going to be much smaller. But there was plenty of tables. The staff behind the counter was very friendly and the restaurant seemed clean. Even though we walked, I noticed there was a good amount of parking which is nice.“
“Curiosity is going to win me over 100% of the time. Such is with this place today.Ate the sweet nacho bat and I was pleasantly surprised. It is quite good.It is on my way to the Jefferson Park blue line for work. I will be coming here more often to try the other flavors and teas/slushies ❤️You guys should check this place out.You won't regret it ?Vegetarian options: They have plant based sausage (which I'm gonna try next)“
“I have been coming Johnny's Place since they were in Park Ridge. I used to come there for lunch every day or every other day. Always friendly and pleasant atmosphere. The food is very delicious. John puts his heart in all the customers.“
“Super friendly and clean the food was great and even if you don't speak polish there are photos everywhere to help you order... I'd recommend the kebab if you're very hungry or if you're looking for something a bit lighter than the Zapiekanka is the way to go... And please don't forget to tip!“
“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“
“This place is awesome! We had lunch there today and my husband and I both had the Italian beef sandwich and we split fries. It was so yummy!! The food is great, and the sandwiches were huge! The owner could not be more pleasant and we would highly recommend this place!!“
“Not familiar with many places around here but I found this little spot and I’m obsessed. Food is fantastic. While waiting for food, I was talking to one of the workers and it was just a great atmosphere. You can tell they take pride in what they do and I love that about food places. Love these people and will definitely be back very soon.“
“OK, so we wanted authentic Chicago dogs or Polish dogs and Bob-O's was highly recommended on Yelp. I am SO glad we went there. We had a Polish that was grilled with grilled onions and sport peppers. It was absolutely fantastic. We also order something I would never see outside of Chicago...a tamale on a bun prepared just like a regular Chicago dog with onions, mustard, pickles and tomatoes. It was great if strange. I would love to go back if I didn't live 2000 miles away.“
“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“
“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.“
“Wow! Very pleasantly surprised by everything! The burger meat tasted so good. Toppings & bun didn’t take away from it. Fries were simple, resemble the look/size of McD’s, but a good amount for the cost! Merkts cheese cup seemed small, but actually was the perfect size for the fries & I’m a cheese lover!! Will definitely suggest to others! The price is right!!“
“Best hot dogs in Chicago! I first learned about this place when I saw it on Conan and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visited with Jack McBrayer. Go check it out on YouTube for yourself! It was hilarious and I knew I had to visit this place next time I was in Chicago! If you have a great sense of humor and don’t mind being insulted by the employees, then this place is for you! When I say insulted, I mean vulgar and down right bad! LMFAO!!! Go check it out! The food is amazing and the obscenities are memorable!“
“Pete planned a great lunch for our teachers! We had a variety of wraps, salads, and chips/salsa/guac. Everyone loved the food and Pete made the ordering and pick up extremely easy! Will definitely be ordering from Little Louie's again soon!“
“Portillo's in Skokie is a great spot for a delicious and casual Chicago-style dining experience. They're famous for their Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago-style hot dogs, and decadent chocolate cake. The restaurant also boasts a fun 1930s Prohibition-style theme, complete with vintage décor and gingham tablecloths.If you're looking for a taste of Chicago, Portillo's in Skokie is a definite must-try!“
“My favorite hot dog joint in Illinois. Hot dogs are delicious and looks damn beautiful fries are always perfectly salted and fried. Every time I come here the service is incredibly nice. I always take a few minutes to say hello to everyone, truely always a pleasure going. Not one bad time visiting this place definitely worth a visit.“
“The Owner is Nice and Very Polite but the lady worker is very Arrogant and the way she answered you is like She's the owner ? I asked her if she can give me extra sauce for the Gyros and she replied " I didn't heard you say that " with a higher pitch voice ? Be Nice and Be Friendly most of the times.“
“Classic burger joint. I got a cheeseburger and fries. Both were made quickly. Fries are hot and crispy. Burger was a nice thin patty with brioche bun. Spent $14 which is more than I'd like but the ingredients taste high quality, so I guess that's why.“
“Stopped today at Biggies per friends suggestion. Pleasantly surprised!! Ordered for take out, but noticed they have slot machines and even serve beer (noted for next time ;) I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich (added pickle) and fries . Wowza. The bun was toasted, the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and thick pickles!!! This is a YEP!“
