“Classic Neighborhood hotdog place serving up a tasty Chicago style dog. Ton of fries or tots are a good addition. Always go jumbo (I didn't here as it was first of many that day). I broke my one star deduction for no poppy seed bun due to the fixings overload. But we gotta get this thing on a poppy seed bun.”
“This review is for the hotdog- delicious..... enough said. A kettle on the pricier side. The only downfall from today's visit.”
“Stopped here today to try the beef and I was not disappointed! If anyone reads my reviews, they know I'm a beef fanatic. I alway order mine dipped with giardiniera and mozzarella. These guys know what dipped means!! I was really impressed with the cheese. It wasn't just one layer on top, it was layered throughout the beef! The beef itself was thicker cut was very good. The portions size was ridiculous! The giardiniera was perfect! I did get the combo that came with fries and a drink. The fries came in thier own bag, which were smaller fries, but I was too full to eat more than a couple. They were decent fries. I loved the fact that they had Green River to drink. Very clean restaurant with a sizable parking lot for that part of the city. I can't wait to go back to try more!”
“Pedí el bratwurst, salchicha alemana que aunque tiene el mismo tamaño que la salchicha normal está cocinada con especias y cosas que le dan sabor un poquito picante, un poquito rico. lo que sí aquí cuando te dicen con todo es con todo: estaba sepultada la salchicha bajo una montaña de lechuga, cebolla, jitomate, pepinos, chiles y hasta pimiento verde, hay que irle entrando poco a poco a la ensalada hasta llegarle a la salchicha. Y bueno, sabes que Chicago es lugar chido cuando las papas no te las dan en la clásica canastita de cartulina de McDonald's y anexos, si no en grandotas y grasosas bolsas de papel de estraza, sí señor. Llenador, rico y accesible.”
“Amazing italian beef! Had to come back on my last day here in Chicago”
“Super cool spot for some delicious food! I had a bacon cheeseburger and it had everything on it. Ketchup mustard relish lettuce onion sport peppers cucumber green peppers and celery salt. I also got a hot dog with all the fixing Chicago style. Great food, medium prices but TOTALLY worth it.”
“Old school Chicago style hot dog restaurant. I got the classic Chicago hot dog. I was not disappointed.”
“Food was good enough. Said I wanted onion rings 4 different times to the line workers because they were asking what my girlfriend & I wanted. For some reason, they were ignoring the onion ring part. Got to the register & had to restate my order which gives a bit of an unorganized vibe. Said twice to gentleman in the register that I would like onion rings. Got food and what do you know- no onion rings. Turkey burger my girlfriend ordered was awesome. Hot dog was okay. They didn't put sport peppers on it for some reason. Maybe the Byrons Chicago dog doesn't come with sport peppers? I'd say Portillo's has a better hot dog which isn't what I was expecting since Byrons is an old school mom & pop place. Fries were super hot & fresh. Place was a bit dirty. I'd come back but not in a hurry. Way better spots around the city. Workers were very nice. Just seemed a bit all over the place. The place wasn't busy either.”
