50 Best Hot Dogs near Oak Park

“Best place ever! lived in this place as a kid. Come home a few times a year and this is always the 1st place i hit. Best food ever!“

“First time here! Enjoyed the fresh chicken dinner and gyro dinner. Fries were tasty and fresh and the portions are very generous! I am coming back! Five Stars for real!“

“Solid great prices always people in and out all day and night.“

“Got the double dog Chicago Style and fries, fried shrimp mild (they make it spicy too) with cocktail sauce, cheese dip and a Pepsi. Went out back and enjoyed my meal at the outdoor seating.

After moving from North Carolina, I can no longer commit heresy and put ketchup on a hot dog. I'm straight up addicted to the Chicago Style dog. Didn't expect two in one bun, but it was delicious nonetheless. Fried shrimp was crunchy and soft. Definitely gotta try the spicy next time. Fries were rolled right up with the dog and I even put some of them in the dog too cause why the hell not? 10/10 I'll be back.“

“Got The Dogzilla and The Lord Byron burger, both Byron's style. Staff was very nice and quick and the food was great. If you're ever in the area, make a stop here. It's worth it. Awesome place and good food.“

“Best Hot Dogs in Chicago! I drive from Indiana just for a Mighty Dog!“

“You can’t go wrong with the classic Chicago dogs here—perfectly prepared and served alongside a generous portion of crisp, hot French fries.

​While I haven't had a chance to try their cheeseburger yet, it seems to be a major crowd favorite based on what everyone else was ordering. I'll definitely be back to give it a shot. Clean, fast, and exactly what you want from a great local spot!“

“Ate at Jimmy's years ago . Hey JIMMY . Take some red hots to the announcers at the track this weekend . Get your name on the air . Your dad would bring Red Hots to the Field when Sal raced there .“

“Excellent food and exactly the kind of atmosphere Id expect in a small hot dog place.

Everything we got was top notch and cane or quickly. I think my only complaint is the dog doesn't come with fries and at $8 I feel like it kinda should.“

“Allll I have to say is YUMMMMYYYY to my tummy“

“friendly staff, food is always warm, and yummy“

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

“Fantastic chilli cheese dog.“

“I have no idea what to expect“

“Absolutely loved everything about Nicky's! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The restaurant was spotless, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

The food was outstanding, and the hot dog was easily one of the best I've ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. Between the delicious food, exceptional cleanliness, and fantastic customer service, Nicky's is a true hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked. I highly recommend stopping by—you won't be disappointed.“

“I must say I didn't know there were two Bob O's Restaurants in Chicagoland. VutI stopped in to try the Beef and the hot dogs. They were good but I like the beef on Irving Park more. But I would eat here again if I was in the hood.“

“Old school hot dog and sandwhich place. Taking a point off the dog for the missing poppy seed bun. Taking another point off because it is missing tomato (sign indicated this so I knew what I was getting). But adding a point cause the fries are legit. Is it my top dog ? No. But very tasty dog at a good value and a quality place by owners grinding out a living and for that, much respect.“

“Awesome food and friendly staff. More of a lax atmosphere with loads of Chicago memorabilia sprinkled on the walls.

The Chicago Hot Dog and fries I had were prepared fresh. Very juicy and flavorful dog, 10/10.

On another note, I came in at 2pm and the kitchen was very well staffed. (A rarity for restaurants nowadays)

Great experience, will swing by here again the next time in Chicago.“

“It’s good..I recommend you try it..“

“The quarter lb. chubby Vienna dog done on the grill is great, the fries are great and the service is great. My second experience and they are above par. So worth the vist. A quaint place with charm and good food.“

“Iconic!! Came here in 2009. Great food at a great price! If you come to Chicago, you have to try Jim’s!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“like a dream had went back for a second round Thanks!“

“Food is absolutely delicious5, everything I've tried. I'm ready to have it again. I just wish they would trim the one inches high entryway outside a bright yellow. I've even red around the yellow to draw attention to the "trip", at other establishments. It's just an accident waiting to happen. Thank you.“

“Great food, friendly staff, great service.“

“Got The Dogzilla and The Lord Byron burger, both Byron's style. Staff was very nice and quick and the food was great. If you're ever in the area, make a stop here. It's worth it. Awesome place and good food.“

“At first, I was a little apprehensive because this is inside the Home Depot, but the food was absolutely fabulous. The hotdog was great. It was my first Chicago hotdog and the hot peppers are very hot.! the guys behind the counter were very friendly… fantastic location, fantastic food highly recommend“

“Iconic!! Came here in 2009. Great food at a great price! If you come to Chicago, you have to try Jim’s!!“

“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 decided to visit again since it’s under new management, and there has definitely been a huge improvement! The new owner was the one that attended us, she was so sweet and very welcoming! She offered us a sample of goblin fries which were delicious!

Definitely coming back again :)“

“hot dogs 🌭 was good the Place is clean The service was great I will be back“

“I’ve been going there for 35 years and I’ve never had a bad dog from this place. And the fries are made fresh in front of u. Always crisp. I believe that if u want a 20 dollar gourmet hotdog this ain’t the place. U wanna hood Chicago dog the way it’s suppose to be made, Jacks got it.“

“Parky's Hot Dog is a fantastic place for a quick and delicious meal. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served promptly. The staff were welcoming and provided excellent customer service. The atmosphere was clean and enjoyable. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone craving a great hot dog.“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch after grocery shopping. My friend ordered the Saturday special—the Super Burger, a massive ½‑lb burger served with fries. I wasn’t as hungry, so I went with the patty melt instead.

The Super Burger lived up to its name and was topped with grilled onions and mozzarella cheese. My patty melt was spot on: crispy bread and a perfect burger‑to‑grilled‑onions ratio. I also grabbed a large fountain drink, and refills were $1.

The interior has been recently updated, and they’re clearly making good use of the space, including a half‑booth facing the window. The booths were comfortable, making it an easy place to sit and enjoy lunch.“

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

“Good food an friendly service“

“First time enjoying Alley Dogs was great. The fish sandwich was crispy and tasty with the extra tartar sauce. The fries were soft on the inside and had a nice crunch externally. The staff was enjoyable to talk to until the food was ready pretty quickly!“

“We often stop by this diner when we’re out running errands 😊🍽️ It’s a great little spot for a quick and satisfying bite without any hassle. My husband and I really enjoy coming here because the food is always consistent and tasty 👍✨
Their gyros are especially impressive - big in size, juicy, and full of flavor 😋🥙 The shoestring fries are always perfectly crispy and fresh, just the way we like them 🍟🔥 It’s hard to stop eating them once you start!
For the kids (and honestly adults too 😄), the corndogs are a popular favorite 🌭👏 and the Chicago-style hot dogs are also really well made and delicious 💯🌭 Overall, it’s a reliable place with good food, quick service, and a relaxed diner vibe that keeps us coming back 😊❤️“

“Incredibly delicious Chicago dogs and milkshakes.“

“First time trying this GEM! AMAZING food! Never have been here before, but we'll worth it. Steak burger and a polish with fries. So good!“

“The Best! The best fries, the best steak sandwich, the best hamburgers, the best everything!“

“More than enough for you to eat, food was definitely on point. Good customer service to all customers who comes into the establishment.“

“My FAVORITE grilled chicken sandwich! Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“Love their cheese fries and milkshakes. staff is friendly.“
