50 Best Hot Dogs near Northbrook

“We moved here two years ago from NY and finally had Josh’s for dinner. Their menu is fantastic, with a lot of different options. We had the Ribs and Greek Chicken dinner. My husband said “these are amongst the best ribs I’ve ever had”. The Greek chicken was amazing. The food portions are more than generous. This will be our Friday night go to place for sure! The staff was also so friendly!“

“Went to Little Louie’s on a whim and we loved it. We got a Cajun wrap and cheeseburger with fries. All of it was out to the table very fast and it was excellent tasting. We aren’t from the area but it will be a place we stop at when we come back thru for sure“

Pretty darn good ! 9.0/10 Sweet n hot , dipped , nice crinkly fries 🍟 comin’ for da ride , and a tamale 🫔 to wash it down . Nice job guys at the PP in Des Plaines !!!“

“I have no idea what to expect“

“I had to try it today before going back to FL delicious 😋.“

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!“

“I tried the grilled teriyaki chicken plate at The Dog Walk and was pleasantly surprised! The chicken was grilled perfectly, flavorful, and the teriyaki sauce had just the right amount of sweetness and spice levels to your liking. The portion was generous, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying.
The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s a great local spot if you’re looking for a delicious, filling meal at a reasonable price. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!
Highly recommend the grilled teriyaki chicken plate! 🍗🔥“

“***Great hotdogs, burgers, and Gyros. ***Great indoor and outdoor seating. ***Very family friendly.“

“In its category in Chicago this is the BEST we had. Absolutely excellent Italian beef with great fries. Gentleman at register was also very nice and informative about what we can get.
It was a raining cold spring day 2026.
4 star instead of 5 is because we wish there was a bit more seating inside.“

“Local family owned restaurant that has so many great things with a kind and caring staff.“

“Happy Susan Simms has brought this iconic spot back to life! The menu now offers vegan choices as well as those “dogs” we love. Couldn’t resist the chili cheese dog! Warm bun -perfect amount of cheese and chili. A yummy blast from the past back and better than ever😀“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“Great food at Max’s Dawg House! Burger and potato wedges were phenomenal“

“Great food and super friendly staff“

“tasty char dogs and delicious shakes, I had the banana and my brother enjoyed his oreo“

“Went for a late weekday lunch. Just ordered the Chicago dog, fries and soda. Hit the spot! More of a takeaway place for locals. No real parking, only paid street parking. A small counter to stand and eat if you'd like (I did). Nice owner.“

“I love a Depot Dog so much that I will stop here without having to need to go to Home Depot.A Chicago Dog, chips and a drink for nearly $5 - AND IT ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD - heck yeah!! I know this might sound weird, but I did stop here on our way to go-karting for my bachelor party!“

“We like to go to the Costco Food Court for dinner when we have tickets to the movie theater next door. It's fast, cheap, and the food is always good. In my opinion, Costco has the best New York style pizza in the Midwest. The food court is always crowded, so it could be bigger. It is also adjacent to the exit aisle, so even more people pass by as you are sitting, enjoying your dinner. I like to think of it as a parade of shoppers, showing off what they purchased. I find it very entertaining. Of course, there is no table service at Costco, but the people behind the counter move a lot of food in a short amount of time. They are excellent. Over all, for a quick bite, the Costco Food Court is tough to beat. Give it a try, you don't have to be a member to enjoy the food.“

“I’ve been meaning to leave this review for some time but life gets hectic and busy and I know these fine business owners understand that all too well. Hubbys has the best hotdogs hands down! My kids LOVE their cheese fries!
But it’s not just the food that keeps us coming back, it’s the owners and staff too! They are always friendly, we’re greeted with exceptional service everytime!
We hired their hotdog cart for a family 4th of July party this year and it was the best addition to our celebration! Even through torrential downpours, Hubby’s delivered with a happy smile! The cart was set up (under a tent of course) and hotdogs were prepared perfectly and we all enjoyed celebrating with good ol American hotdogs!
So if you’re looking for a quick and friendly bite to eat, stop in!
If you’re looking to cater an event, definitely consider Hubby’s Hotdog carts!
Either way, you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks Hubby’s!“

The staff was so nice, everything was clean, and it was just such a fun place to try. Definitely not your average corn dog 😂 If you haven’t tried Kong Dog yet, you need to! We will 100% be back!!“

“Great Chicago Style Hot Dog! The fries are so good Highly recommend this place if you want good food.“

“Great salads!!! Great chicken sandwiches!!! Best cheese fries in the area!!!“

“Today was my first time and if I lived in the area it wouldn’t be my last! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Wiener Take All! They have a variety of options and the customer service was behind amazing.“

“We have never had a bad meal at Mean Weiner. We have ordered in and eaten in the restaurant. We have made many changes to our orders and have never had a problem. Everyone is always friendly and super polite. The value is outstanding. I highly recommend trying Mean Weiner. You will not be disappointed.“

“It’s a great place for family to come eat and have fun ..I love it“

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.“

“This is a great place to get food, it’s all delicious and not that expensive..“

“huge shout out to Gio at the Elk Grove Village, Illinois location. you were such an amazing person to run into. the kids truly enjoyed your trivia, and loved their little prizes. you are truly a gem to this establishment.“

“I'm right next door eat there a lot“

“Great customer service Great food,“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“Absolutely amazing! The 1/2 Greek Chicken at The Gyros Factory is one of the best meals I’ve had in Des Plaines. Perfectly seasoned, cooked on the bone, and unbelievably tender. The rice pilaf and Greek potatoes complete the plate beautifully. A must-try!“

“Good clean burgers that don’t leave you feeling dirty after eating them, with a great selection and great prices it’s satisfaction guaranteed.“

“In this economy, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal for the price and quality. Sure it’s inside a super hmart so it’s not glamorous, but it’s perfect for the space and the staff is very friendly. They should rename it to Oh Great-dog.“

“Muy higiénico el lugar y me gusta el sazón de las burguers y la amabilidad“

“Corn dogs and fries. Among best I’ve had ANYWHERE!“

“I first got introduced to this place circa 1958-59! I doubt it is the same ownership but their hotdogs topped off with sliced tomatoes and celery salt brings back memories of my youth-long ago. I still go there every time I visit Chicago.“

“It’s a great place to bring your family“

“Today was the first time I have ever Ben in a Portillo’s Restaurant, first time I have ever had an Italian beef sandwich. I have a Lotta friends in Fort Myers who go all the way to Tampa to get this sandwich and they continue to tell me how good it is. So this evening we decided to go to Portillo since I was visiting on my grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law, I really enjoyed that Italian beef sandwich. There are a lot of other good things on the menu, but that was what I was there for. Unfortunately, they do not have a Portillo’s Station FortnMyer Florida. I can only hope that one day they will build it there.“

“This place is hands down the best hot dog and chicken sandwich shop illinois. I love the food at Irving’s it is the gold standard. You can also eat healthy there. Lastly all the employees have been there over a decade. It’s a real testament to treating employees and customers well.“

“I love absolutely every bite“

“I love their popcorn 🍿.
Their popcorn is always fresh and tasty 🍿.
I love their food.
I need to try all of their foods.
So far, I had a hotdog with everything and it was tasty and fresh🌭 .
I love getting Jarritos as a soft drink beverage.“

“Exceptional service from the two gentlemen, Rashed and Own. They handled my request professionally and in a timely manner. It was refreshing to see them work with genuine smiles and radiate such positive energy throughout the entire experience.“

“My burger was fantastic and the onion rings are phenomenal“

“Love the food and there open late!!“

“I've been coming here since I was a kid. I love the food. The owners are the same, and you maybe served by the owners. Note There is no public bathroom. But I believe there is a few booths if you want to sit there. My favorite thing on earth is their Philly cheese steak!“
