We are from Chicago and swear everybody says they have an authentic chicago dog. ( never true until today )

This place is a real gem
The dog is as good and better than most in my sweet home town Chicago

Luke the owner is amazing
October 2025
Delightful weekend breakfast/brunch with an airy terrace and garden seating!
Well done traditional American grill fare, with a solid tap beer selection and casual cocktails, especially their signature, The Berry Good Dog (California sparkling wine and local Maine blueberries)!
August 2025
Amazing burgers! The dogs looked top notch as well. The guy in charge was a little peeved when he discovered they kicked a keg and did not replace/ notify him the night before. But i would have been a little annoyed as well.
