“As an Uber driver I love discovering new places.This place is a cozy little restaurant that has good food and a very friendly atmosphere.I got the chili dog, fried and drink, the owner bought it to my table.The chili was tasty and the fries were hot and crispy.I also enjoyed the conversation that a couple was having with the owner, I felt like I was at a family gathering.I will definitely be back ?“

“This is essentially the only fast food place we ever go to, and definitely the only place I eat fries (the Cajon fries). Even though the food is more expensive nowadays, I feel it's definitely worth it. And you can munch on peanuts too.....“

“Your MOST authentic Chicago style hot dog and Chicago hot dog joint experience. Look at their menu. Only 4 food items. Yeah. And really only 3 foods. Fries, hot dog, corn tamale. Least expensive hot dog ....anywhere, period. All dogs come with fries. They make it up on volume. Always a line, but plenty of staff works in a conveyor belt style. And you better best know how to order when you go there. For example, know how to order "one hot dog with everything including peppers".... here's the correct way "one with." Better know what you are ordering when you reach front of line or expect a look of irritation and perhaps even some cajoling "C'mon now, let's go" from your hot dog builder if you are vascillating or unprepared to order depending on mood and current busyness of the place . It's the experience. I lived there less than a mile from the place for the first 40 years of my life (except when I attended Northwestern Univ. and lived on campus in Evanston). Then, I lived in MN for 20 and now FL in retirement, BUT will take trips to Gene & Judes when visiting relatives for Thanksgivings, Christmases, Weddings and Funerals, etc. The taste is worth the trip into River Grove from the Northwest suburbs during my stays with friends and family living g far NW or far W suburbs.“

“Great beef, little bit light on peppers which makes this a soft 5 for me, fries were just ok. Service and dining area efficient and tidy. I think they only offer cheese on the beef to spot people with bad taste. Don't get cheese on it that's not what you're here for.“

“Man this place is such a GEM. I’ve lived in the area for years in different spots and always end up ordering from here frequently. Their consistency is spot on. Their burgers are actually delicious. For SLIGHTLY more than the cost of fast food you could eat a real burger and fries. It’s not gonna be a fancy “artisan” burger or hot dog. You pay a cheap price for food that was made with classic Chicago charm and no pretentious intent. I will always gas this place up to my friends, I hope it stays here forever, would give it 10/5 if I could.“

“In the area found myself here and I'm glad I did. Ordered a double cheeseburger ? this was made perfectly. I mean like a real homemade burger with grilled onion, cheese, and two well-seasoned burger patties. 9.3. The burger came out hot n fresh plus the cheese melted making this a messy, gooey, rich burger. It's cash-only here thou, but for me, this place is a gem probably in my top 10 for burgers in the city.“

“This is a no nonsense Chicago spot. The signage was probably put up when my grandpa was a kid walking down Taylor street flipping a quarter. Anyway, the combo sandwich was excellent. I've been eating a lot of mediocre beef sandwiches lately and this place is worth checking out because their sandwich was outstanding“

“I loved Duks, but the renovation and refresh may put Modern Relish in the conversation for best looking hot dog stand in Chicago. Modern Relish is now sporting a modern and clean look and has added massive dog friendly patios. The food was fast and did not disappoint and the staff was incredibly nice. The new owner was there when we grabbed lunch and clearly working hard. I'm incredibly excited to see this transformation and would encourage everyone to check it out!“

“Great dessert shop! It's certainly pricey but the chew of the pastry and wide variety of alternating flavors are a nice treat on occasion. Maybe some flavors may not be as good as other flavors but I think that's subjective. Overall, they're tasty treats. Recently, they introduced their version of the viral Korean egg sandwiches. The bread was buttery and fried. Egg was fluffy. Really good. Their jasmine milk tea was fragrant and nice. Staff are always nice. Decent amount of seating for small groups.“

“Definitely one of the top 3 dog places ofChicago alongside Gene & Jude’s and Superdawgs. @&$% - even had one of the best Italian beefs ever too… AND IT WASN’T EVEN AN ITALIAN BEEF. It was some “wagyu” dog they had, but basically if an Italian beef turned into a hot dog…. and it was *BUMP*! Even Kasama (home of the “combo”… made with pork instead of beef ?) could learn a thing or two from this wagyu dog!“

“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!“

“My Wife and I were blown away at how tasty the food was. Everything was very flavorful and well seasoned. And the prices were great for the portion sizes which were generous. My Fire Burger especially was a good full sized burger. And best of all everything was halal.Everyone working here was very polite and accommodating. They let us go into the back to wash our hands before we ate.The inside seating is very limited since this is a very small place. They did have an outside seating area so in the summer time there is more seating. They had an extensive menu including delicious Mexican food.“

“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.“

“Stopped here for a late night bite. I got a single cheeseburger with everything on it and my boyfriend got the Big Daddy Burger. My burger was good, but nothing special. The big daddy burger was given a 10/10 and I personally tried the gyro meet and it was pretty tasty. We shared an order of fries and they were super crispy.“

My friend got the chicken tenders and I got the Chicago dog and we shared a bag of fries(which was a great size for the price) and we were agreeing that when we move here in a few months that this will be the spot for our lazy dinner nights“

“I've driven past this place so many times and I finally decided to try it out. Only carry-out and delivery right now with the pandemic. I ordered 2 Big Island Classic burgers, 1 smokehouse burger, and another basic burger with one small cheese fry. It took 25-30min for preparation. This seems to be a 2 man operation (dad and maybe his daughter) and it was at prime lunchtime. I didn't realize the description online said the island and smokehouse burgers were on french bread so that was a surprise but not bad. Personally, we weren't the biggest fans of how the burgers were cooked, charred and well-done, but the toppings were great and my sister said the ketchup to mayo ratio on hers was perfect! The cheddar fries are Merkt's cheddar which I now know isn't my favorite but for those that like Merkt's, there is lots of it and covers all the fries. Thanks for lunch, Little Island :-)“
