Irving's for Red Hot Lovers

The hygiene is ZERO. How in the world do you take the money and with the same hand you put the bread and sausage in the paper. No gloves , I'm not coming here any time sooner. Maybe in 20 years

This place is extremely excellent for anyone who knows how good a Chicago dog is, even if you don’t want a Chicago dog, they have plenty of other options that simply surpass any other classic diners. Not only do they keep their food fresh and delicious. They also have the most experienced workers I’ve ever seen, working here for over 2 decades each and every one of them. Making sure everyone gets the proper preparations for their food. Would 100% recommend anyone who is either visiting Chicago, or hasn’t tried this place. Irving’s does it like no one else simply because of experience and also knowing almost all there costumers personally. Not to mention they’ve been open for over 50 years now! Also the nostalgia for all those old timers who wanna take a blast in the past! Highly recommend and would eat here again.

Vegan Chicago and Maxwell are the best I've ever had. Always stop by when I'm in town. Awesome staff too!

Grilled Tilapia on pita bread with special sauce was amazing! Baked potato was delicious plain. I appreciated the hospitality, glad I noticed this place today. If the staff at the table had used his headphones it would have been a perfect visit.

Fries were fresh but unseasoned, cheese was gross and broken/separated. I couldn’t eat it.

I’ve been going to Irving’s with my friends since I was a little kid - we’d walk over feeling rich with a few bucks in our pocket excited to devour some chicken tenders. What a treat it is to continue go back! My go to order these days is a char dog (rivals all char dogs in the city) with onion rings & a shake. Being able to bring my kiddo here is a full circle moment I couldn’t be more grateful for!

Recently moved to the area as this was my first time stopping in and all I can say is YUM! After consuming 2 of the juiciest doggy dog dogs I will say I am beyond impressed with the product. I am no hotdog connoisseur however I know succulent and savory and this was just that!

The staff was also very friendly In ensuring the order was to my satisfaction. Why can’t every business be as classy with communication? If I ever meet the owner of this business I will not only shake their hand for the quality of the food and service but also, ‘bend the knee’ per the cleanliness of the establishment. I might have to run it back on my return home today! That good! See for yourself.
