38 Best Hot Dogs near Skokie

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

“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!“

“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.“

“no frills, always fast. my first choice for a north side late night burger, no question. earplugs available upon request for outdoor dining because their patio is located directly under the train, which should give you a decent idea of the overall vibe.“

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

“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.“

“Budacki's is a classic neighborhood stop for fast eats. It boasts a broad menu of comfort food, from Polish dogs Chicago-style to gyros and Korean fare. It's not a large or contemporary space, but around rush hour, you'll find it full of regulars from blue and white collar workers to young families and school kids. If you're visiting, there are other spots that do something similar. But if you're new to the neighborhood, be sure to make the trip, and you'll easily find yourself a regular too.“

“I was only here for a few days but had to get a Chicago Dog! It was the best Chicago dog I’ve had in my years visiting. That poppyseed bun! I can’t wait to come back and try the unique dogs and sausages they offer. Cool art everywhere and just a good vibe. The pickles and the sport peppers are incredible. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic Chicago dog or something even more unique! Also service was kind and quick!“

“Incredibly delicious Chicago dogs and milkshakes.“

“Fantastic chilli cheese dog.“

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

“They have THE BEST Chicago style hotdogs .“

“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 .“

“I am a very huge fan of smaller scale restaurants that can be found hiding in the city. Family-owned businesses are typically the ones that have the best food because they do not necessarily look into mainstreaming menus and recipes. with smaller restaurants, you can typically find amazing price opportunities as well as some unique food that has not been released to the broad market. It almost makes locations like this become a treasure if you come across them. Huge shout-out for Lola's. Amazing dogs, burgers, shakes! give them a try when you get the chance. For me, it was worth every penny!“

“Bob-O’s is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. Their burgers are juicy, the hot dogs have that perfect snap, and the fries are crispy perfection every single time. You can tell everything’s made with care — it’s comfort food done right.

The staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The place has a fun, casual vibe that’s perfect for families or a quick bite with friends.

Whether you’re craving a classic Chicago-style dog or a loaded burger, Bob-O’s delivers every time. Five stars all the way — easily one of the best spots around!“

“Its really doesnt get better than Dear Franks. Everyt8me we go, the tood is the exact same as before. Hands down the best polish sausage in the area. This is the only place thats ever asked me if id like my hot dog charred or not(couodnt reccomend charred more!). Its been the same staff for as long as i can remember and they are always fantastic! Extremely family oriented as well which i absolutely love! I really couldn't reccomend this place more for an amazing hot dog and polish sausage!“

“I stopped by J's Corner for lunch break, ordered a polish with everything, comes with free fries. THE best polish I've had in a long time. Been trying other restaurants, but nothing compares to this. 5/5 in my book, classic menu selection with good prices, will try the bulgogi that everyone raves about next time“

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

“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.“

“The worker Zhyldyz was so kind and patient:). I believe she was alone but she was still kind even though being alone. She worked at a good pace and got our stuff out with good timing:). I could tell everything was made with care xD. I hope she had a wonderful rest of her day! ♡“

“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.“

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

“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“

“First time customer. Friendly staff and clean environment. Counter seating only. Fair prices for great quality food. The fries are great! I'm usually a skin on, flaccid fry lover (no jokes, please) but the fries here are crispy and thin without being overly salted. Gyros, off the spit, was generously portioned. Jack's is a solid choice for great Chicago-stand food!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Went in for a hotdog and some cheese fries. It was mid. The fries- if you like salt with your fries, this is the place for you. The abundance of salt was insane- not my taste preference but again. If you like salt- these are for you. You're getting a good amount for the price you are paying. Wish the guy was a bit more friendlier but I get it- it's a tiny business and it's a congested area filled with hipster restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it a 3 was because everything looked neat.“

“Great food, friendly staff, great service.“

“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!“

“First , the smoke and aroma comin’ out the roof exhaust pipes . Lol 😛 Known for their hamburgers , dogs , apparently everything else on their menu is good . Being a member of Chicago Italian Beefs fB page , I just HAD to try theirs . 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 !!!“

“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!“

“Incredibly delicious Chicago dogs and milkshakes.“

“Me and my faget wannabe beaner brother bart niedzialkowski used to go here when we're kids . I really enjoyed eating here when I was a kids after karate practice . This place never changed. My children go there a lot with my mom . Garlic gyros are the best .“

“We decided to visit Chicago for a weekend trip from Pittsburgh. You haven’t eaten a hotdog until you’ve tried this hotdog in Chicago!!! Out of this world flavor!!! It’s a must to try if you’re in Chicago!!! We’d give it 10 stars if we could!!“

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

“As incredibly deliciously tasty and greasy as I remember from college days and just as good as at the original on Taylor St. Fond memories of many years of studying and working fuelled by Al's!!

Get the regular combo (beef and sausage) for the best experience. The wet is good enough to already make the bread fall apart, dipped will get you a soggy mess without a fork in sight!

Keep many napkins handy and your shirt protected! Oh and get the giardiniera, hot preferred for the best pigout experience.

The handcut fries are very good, though I remember at the original they were a tad more greasy if that can even be imagined!!“

“Great hot dogs and fries. Also loved the Chicken dinner special. This place helped me get through nursing school with cheap eats and friendly faces.“
