50 Best Hot Dogs near Prospect Heights

“The Dog Walk is a quick serve restaurant tucked inside a strip center at the south west corner of Milwaukee Avenue (Rt. 45) and Palatine (Willow) Road. I have been there quite often years ago, but surprised my spouse with a visit last weekend.

The food was just as delicious as I remember it and the owners, who are new, stuck to the old recipes that were wonderful.

I had a Gyro Burger (Gyro and a hamburger served on a toasted bun)and the spouse had a Gyro and they were excellent. The menu is perfect.

There is minimal seating so you will most likely take your meal home or enjoy it in your car, but it is well worth it. Interesting note that sales tax in Prospect Heights is 9.5%, which is substantially better than all neighboring suburbs!“

“I have been going there for many years . They treat you like family. I Highley recommended. Great food.“

“Food is awesome and the owners are great! I try to make it here once a week!“

“Fantastic chilli cheese dog.“

“Love this place I come all the way from Aurora to work in Des Plains and eat here Great Food love the fries great atmosphere staff always friendly bag a fries to go 😎💪“

“This is my first time trying this restaurant and I loved it. My favorite Sandwich is the Italian beef, and I always like to try new restaurants to see who makes the best. I ordered the Homemade Italian beef sandwich with Hot peppers, and I loved it in general. Here is my feedback to the owner:

1. Your beef and gravy are very delicious and well balanced in taste; they are nicely seasoned which is something not all restaurants can get right. they are enjoyable to eat. Good job on this.

Here are some suggestions to further elevate the Sandwich in my opinion:

1. The bread should be able to hold a very wet sandwich without breaking apart, I suggest looking for special kind of bread that can do so for customer who like their Sandwich Saggy like myself.

2. Depending on the temperature of the gravy, the beef may need to stay in it for few minutes (3 to 5) to keep maximum tenderness.

3. The Hot peppers are extremely spicy, and they can dominate the taste and hide the deliciousness of your wonderful product. I pushed most of them aside to enjoy the awesome taste of the beef. If there is a way to tune them down so they give a kick, then I think it will be great in my opinion.

Overall, lovely place, I recommend it!“

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 !!!“

“Love this place. The Italian ice is delicious.

Parking: Parking lot is small, not a ton of spots available

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance to the restaurant is very narrow and there is not a lot of space for a wheelchair inside but there are a few tables outside“

“The guy behind the counter was a little gruff and curt with me, but once he saw that I had my dog with me, he warmed up a bit. Otherwise, the hot dogs were tasty, but I was expecting more tots than what was served to me. Also, the way that the restaurant was shot in the photos listed online were very deceptive; way smaller space than expected, and really no place to sit and enjoy your food.“

“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!“

“We recently moved to the neighborhood and noticed Hubby's after leaving the Farmers Market a few weeks ago. My husband noticed they advertised catering on their building, so we thought we should reach out for our kiddos 1st Birthday Party. They DID NOT disappoint! Marcie responded to emails promptly. She was very accommodating with adding extra food last minute (86 guests), and their hot dog cart was such a nice touch for our baseball themed party. Our guests loved the hot dogs and mini Italian beef sandwiches! We were even able to accommodate our vegan guests with hot dogs too! We cannot wait to check out their spot in person and try other menu items as well! Thank you SO much for making our littles first birthday extra special!“

“Big Sammy’s is great! Amazing food, quick times, menu has many options (so you will find something you like), friendly customer service (they gave my son, a big
fan, a free Big Sammy’s cup)! If you want good Chicago style food, go to Big Sammy’s (Be sure to try their cheesy logs). And remember, Big Sammy says, EAT MORE HOTDOGS!“

“We are Costco members from past 11 years and really love our Costco store. Costco carries huge selection of fresh fruits at reasonable prices. We always love our fresh fruits from here. In addition to it, Costco have always come to our rescue when it comes to renovations including buying flooring, outdoor lights, furniture. And their customer service is TOP NOTCH. We never think twice buying from Costco knowing the fact Costco got us covered.“

“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“

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

“Great food and super friendly staff“

“Great food! Even better service! Shout out to Lynn, she was absolutely a delight! Helped me out with my order. I was overwhelmed by the choices and she helped me narrow them down. I got to admit, while I was dilly dallying she didn’t even rush me and encouraged me to follow my heart! Such a good vibe. Left with a bag full of good food and a beaming smile on my face!“

“I absolutely love this location. A Chicago dog and fries after my long work shifts is the best. I'm really bad with names, but an older gentleman with glasses that was working tonight always goes above and beyond to make me feel better every time I come in late at night. The food is always perfect.“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“Delicious! I always stop by whenever I’m in town.“

“I somehow hadn't noticed Kong Dog here until I was at City Hall for a permit. Now I know it's there, I'll be frequenting. Love a good Korean Corn Dog, and this place fits the bill. It's so hard to only eat one, but so hard to eat two!“

“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.“

“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“

“****A cut above the rest. -Great and consistent food -genuinely attentive and warm service making you feel right at home. Many ingredients are organic—not because it’s a selling point, but simply because that’s how they do things. The flavors feel more like homemade Greek cooking than typical restaurant fare.“

“Driven by many times but tonight my fuance and I turned around to give it a shot. From the moment we walked we were blown away by the cleanliness and hospitality of the staff. We both ordered the double slaw burger with fries. Long story short it wss beyond delicious.
Ive always been a fan of smash burgers but this was by far the best I’ve ever had. Their slaw sauce was amazing, the fries were perfectly done with their own in home seasoning. To top ot off we were given a “samole” of their churros fries as well. I’d go their just for those I see many trips to our new favorite burger joint now.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“Dined in on Labor Day and everything was ok. Two days later I placed an online order, the crew on site weren't even aware that my order was placed until 4 minutes AFTER I ARRIVED. I ordered 2 sandwiches (1 chicken and one burger), 2 fries and 2 drinks and a side of coleslaw. Got home and I had 1 chicken sandwich, one fry, one coleslaw and 2 drinks... where's the burger and other fry? I called them up, the employee who answered took 7 minutes of blabbering before offering a refund for the missing items. 1 week later and I have yet to receive my refund. Good to know that Slaw Burger engages in theft.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is inside Hmart on the side by the checkout registers. The bacon cheese & egg toast was really good. It'd be easier to eat if the bacon was inside the sandwich instead of being right on top but not a big deal. They have corn dogs and tanghulu that alot of other people ordered but I didn't try those.“

“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.“

“I came here with my kids who were really excited for ice cream and boba, and we were very happy with the quality and service. Superman milkshake was so good, strawberry smoothie with tapioca was my favorite! We all had a blast and Jerry made us feel very welcomed! This will definitely be our ice cream and boba spot.“

“Great customer service Great food,“

“I somehow hadn't noticed Kong Dog here until I was at City Hall for a permit. Now I know it's there, I'll be frequenting. Love a good Korean Corn Dog, and this place fits the bill. It's so hard to only eat one, but so hard to eat two!“

“It’s a mall food court where every table is dirty and rocks so not a great atmosphere. However the guys working at Kong Dog are very friendly and efficient and they were happy to answer questions and make suggestions. I have never had a Kong Dog but I give it 10/10 and the mango lemonade was delicious combo too! I’ll be back for sure.“

“Well I was reading up on the best burgers and five guys came up as #4 on this list so I wanted to give my opinion on there burgers . And I have to be honest with you friends , Five Guys in my humble opinion is definitely drum roll ..... #1 in my taste buds opinion !! Try them I don't think you will be disappointed !!!“

“Delicious food, friendly & speedy service :) I asked them to cook the turkey bacon on my avocado toast a bit more and they quickly and graciously crisped it up for me. They also have the best hash browns around. Get your own hot sauce/ketchup/etc condiments in the attached Pride convenience store“

“I love the Italian beef with sweet peppers- always have! Some of my family love the Chicago style hot dogs. Always consistently delicious and a fun place to eat. Keep it up!“

“Great food forgot to take a pic was to hungry definitely go again try out the slow cooked bbq ribs“

“Great place!! Definitely will recommend to everyone!!“

“Their burgers are great! Every ingredient in a burger was fresh and tasty. I’ve visited other allocations too, but I specifically like this location because of their services. The manager-looking-guy was working so hard to make sure everything was running smoothly. He cared not just about their food but also the bathroom and everything. Thanks to him and other staff, the floor and tables were all clean and we were able to spend a very good time here. One thing we noticed at the end of our dine in was there were only four guys instead of five guys at the front.“

“Delicious food and friendly place. We carry out and dine in on occasion. It’s become a regular go to for great food options. The ribs are so good I got to them before I remembered to take the pic 😂😋“

“I love absolutely every bite“

“Great service, and then some extra friendliness“

“always busy, friendly staff and good food“

“You changed your italian sausge,and it's horrible.“
