“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!“
“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've been to the original Johnnie's on North Ave for many, many years. We decided to check out this place since it's closer to our home. Happy to report, that they did not disappoint. The menu here is more robust than the one at the original Johnnie's. Food was exactly as delicious and they even have a watermelon flavored Italian ice which was a total hit with the kiddos.“
“Yummy! I was on a quest to find a true chicago style hotdog i and this place delivered! I always forget to take a picture before digging in! The hotdog was spot on! It was my first time there, so I ordered a cheeseburger and cheese fries to test out too! Everything was absolutely delicious! The owner was super nice and cool! Definitely be back for more!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I have been going here for a few years now. I Wasn't one for doing reviews, but I decided I will start with the places that are exceptional. Scooby is small inside, but everything about the food is worth it. The fries are amazing, once I tried the ribs I had them straight for the next 5 times I went in there. Pete the owner cuts the ribs in individual pieces then puts them on the grill to crisp them up, OMG fire! I am also addicted to the strawberry shake.“
“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.“
“Was in the area and had to make a stop back to Mochinut. The flavors this week looked really good. I love the texture and chewiness of these donuts. They are light and not overly sweet. We enjoyed the original glazed and churro at the store. My sister was expecting the glazed to be a sugar rush. But to her surprise it wasn't too sweet, but perfect! She had her first mochiball and loved the strawberry filling. Great little after noon treat to enjoy with hot tea on this frigid cold weekend!“
“Place is exactly what you're hoping for when you go to one of these spots. Cheesy beef was the definition of cheesy! Finally a place that don't just give ya one layer there had to be 3-4 layers of cheese! And the tuna melt on a hot pita oh my goodness nicely mixed and fresh topping and veggies. This is definitely a good place and you can hear the guy at the counter addressing "Billy" so could only assume the man the place is named after is back there working love to see it“
“No frills location in a strip center. The staff was friendly and it was clean for a "hole in the wall" type place. There are quite a few menu options.I with with a Chicago dog, fries, and drink and it was less than 10 bucks. You can't beat that.The fries were cooked enough to not be wimpy, another few seconds in the fryer would have been perfect. Well seasoned, and you get a huge order.The dog was perfect. I'd put it up against the more well known places in the Chicago area. Bun was soft, seasoning spot on, and the veggies fresh.“
“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.“
“Good for fast food, this seems to be the area equivalent of in-n-out. Retro decor inside with lots of hanging metal signs, pretty neat! I had a Chicago dog and wasn't disappointed. Was it the best hotdog that I've ever had? not even close... But for the price and experience I'd say it was well worth the trip.“
“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.“
“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.“
“JAMES HYDRICK recently brought my fiancee back to my life, after we have been composed for 9years. We have stayed living favorably without any delinquent. I always converse about matrimony with her but she replies me with, And promise me that we will soon get married. I was shock on a faithful day when she called me and told me that she is no longer interested in the relationship, because she met another guy, and they were almost getting married. I was stunned and dizzy after hearing that from her. I was so drained and tried to get back to myself because deprived of her it was dreadful because I truly love her with the whole of my emotion. Until I was fixed up to JAMES HYDRICK whose email is (divine.spells@yahoo. com) I communicated with him and he guaranteed me that my wish will be settled unto me after 48 hours, and he told me to count on his words, and he gave me every purpose why I have not to worry any longer. So that was how James came into my marital life and fetched my girlfriend back to me after 48 hours as James hyrick guaranteed me, and now here I am affirming of his virtorious works. And he also cast money spell for me that really well-ordered out for me. So I will recommend you to contact him once you are in need of magic spell. he is sincere and real to help you out.. (divine.spells@ yahoo. com)“
“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.“
“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!!“
“Parking: Available at lunchtime.Kid-friendliness: The mini beef or chicken sandwiches would be good for a kids lunch. Treating the kids to a milkshake will make them very happy. Regular ice cream for the shakes are blended not frozen dairy products.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs are acceptable to entering, eating and leaving the facility.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Now this place.. I’m blown away. My partner picked up the food and said the service was outstanding and very friendly! Let’s move onto the food, the fries and onion rings were perfect, they had that crunch. The cheese sauce is the best around here. My favorite out everything we ordered was definitely the Chubby Pug the bbq sauce takes it up a million notches. The Chicago dogs are really good, if a place can’t make a good Chicago dog DONT GO. I will say the Mac n cheese could definitely be taken up a few notches, not much flavor. Definitely will be running back to this place to try more! Can’t believe it’s only 2 minutes from my house and this was my first time trying!“
“Had carry out. The young man who took my order was great. Repeated everything back to me and was genuinely friendly and made me feel very welcome. The cooks engaged me while I waited n great conversation. A great carry out experience.Food was also on par!“
“Not too many hot chicks working here but that’s fine. The food was really good. The claw machine was broken so if you were gonna go there for just that don’t. This is completely irrelevant but Im a little bit hunger over today. Gonna eat some Korean and just take it easy tonight.“
“Best-looking staff anywhere around!! The guys here are ???They make the greatest food even tho they look like male models. Very nice place. My sister comes in from out of town just to come eat here and watch the good-looking tall guy. 10 out of 10 for the food and the “
“This is such a treasure in the community! They have good tasting, quality fare at a reasonable price point. The restaurant always appears clean. The staff has got to be the best around...always friendly and pleasant. I really enjoy the gyro sandwich. I ask for extra meat and it's always so hearty and delicious! Their hotdogs are every bit as tasty as those from Portillo's--and you help support a local business in the process. Just began going to them regularly and it's never disappointing.“
“The moment I walked I walked in I could tell the vibe and atmosphere was positive and very friendly. This is the cleanest establishment that I’ve have ever step foot in. The employees recognized me greeted me made sure I got everything that I needed and with a smile on their faces. I ordered very quickly. The food was prepared quickly the fries and milkshake were amazing like they always are and the bacon cheeseburger was amazing. I definitely recommend you try it if you haven’t.Parking: There are literally hundreds of parking spots available. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to parking.Kid-friendliness: This is an extremely kid friendly place they provide you with as many free peanuts as you want so the children can play you know throw peanuts at each play games with the peanuts and just have overall good childhood fun and that is something that is unique to Five Guys.“
“Kind of expensive. Like $10 for cheapest burger they have, and no drive threw. But it is a nice greasy yummy burger. Oh and i forgot to get the CAJUN FRIES!!! Oh man! Its only 5 guys and meatheads that have CAJUN FRIES ? 5 guys is way closer though. Gotta get my CAJUN fix!!! I'll be back!!!Oh and they got free peanuts!!! Did u hear that!?!? FREE FOOD!!! FREE PEANUTS ? ???“
“Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Probably visited here last in the 2010s but still the same classic joint interior-wise and food-wise. Top 5 Gyros and Chicken Gyros spots in the Chicagoland suburban area in my opinion. Ordered their Chicken Gyros sandwich as well as a side of Oven-baked Greek Potatoes (pictured here). So much gyros meat and the potatoes are perfectly baked and soaked in broth. Not going to wait years for my next visit.“
“Family-owned, old school Chicago lunch spot. Don't be fooled by the location in a strip mall. The owners take your order on a pad of paper and ring you up on a 1990s cash register. Menu is everything you'd expect from a Chicago burger/dog/italian beef spot. Greasy and delicious. If you're in the mood, this place hits the spot. A shame they are only open for lunch!“
“First off the service was great. They were very nice people. There are more tables than you'd expect but I imagine at busytimes might be more of a take out destination. And it seemed clean and bright inside which is good. The best food was the burger, juicy...it was a good solid burger. Kids weren't as big fans of the chicken gyro (would've gotten the real gyro but there wasn't much left, which probably means it's popular, when I got there, so would try that in the future). Fries were decent. They make the shakes from scratch (just probably need to clean the blenders (and/or ice cream scoopers) more btw uses as the plain chocolate shake had a strong minty note (also I wasn't paying attention but chocolate shakes gotta still have added choc syrup, I dunno if it did, which prolly means no). Oh and gotta use fresh bananas for banana shakes, syrup or powder, to quote the bard Mando, just isn't the way. And that might be my biggest gripe with an otherwise really solid diner-like joint.“
“I love when I get food that’s super Duper hot and I have to wait for it to pull off a little before I eat it. Everything tasted fresh considering it’s just a corndog. But very delicious toppings and the Kong fries were great. This is my favorite fast food.Parking: Clean ??Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a mall totally open. We parked in a handicap parking space right next to entrance ??“
“The Chicago style special, with a hot dog, pop, and chips definitely hit the spot before my flight. The Chicago-style dog with a poppy seed bun and a pickle, tomato, relish, onions, jalapeño peppers, and of course mustard, was delicious. I was tempted to go after one of the pizzas too but resisted.“
“This is a small space in an older building with no tables. One guy was there by himself serving up orders as quick and efficient as some places with an entire staff.I ordered the Snappy Dog. Fries were piled on top. Ugh, I hate that. I realize it's an old Chicago tradition but it's not my thing. I have to admit it does give the fries some extra flavor in this case.It was on a fresh poppy seed bun with sport peppers, cheese sauce, onions, and their secret sauce (which tasted a lot like barbecue sauce). It was tasty with a bit of zip but very messy.I wouldn't mind trying some of their other unique menu items sometime.“
“Small older building but everything was clean. There were a few high tables and a bar with stools lining the window. Lots of character to the place. Good prices, plenty of menu choices, and the staff was friendly enough.I ordered the double cheeseburger. It was grilled on the flat top and then chargrilled, always a good sign of a good burger. It was well seasoned and served on a toasted bun. Thumbs up.“
“Food was great the owner Mark is very polite and attentive and made sure we were taken care of. The dining experience was very fresh and unique and I love the theme. Me and my girlfriend went here and both of our meals were good and the zesty fries were really nicely paired with the BBQ chicken sandwich. Soda dispensers were also well maintained and clean tasting and restaurant overall was clean and overall a really good concept and atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and try the ninja dog! Overall really cool place and great prices too compared to the portion you get.“

“If there was an option for 4 1/2 stars that would be my actual rating. Got a double cheeseburger with fries and root beer. Everything was great except one tiny problem... No bacon!! Only thing better than a greasy burger is a greasy burger with bacon! Just my opinion. All in all, great job! Fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back.“
“I had the 2 hot dog meal. The dogs were great! I gave 4 star on the food only because the fries weren’t all that good for me personally but overall I love the atmosphere & the service was very fast. I’ll come back & try other options on the menu for sure!“
“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.“
