Looking for a quick bite, yummy food, and decent price (I guess cuz the Chi is $) Come here and enjoy Chicago style dog or a pizza puff! Many options. This place is a hit!

“Went for National Hot Day but I’ve been going to this location for 20 years.”

Went for National Hot Day but I’ve been going to this location for 20 years. It’s witched ownership but remains amazing. Upgraded the exterior and seating. Dogs come with fries. Always get a bottled Coke…a must. It completes the meal. You can take the Blue Line Western stop. Follow it up with a Margie’s shake or sundae after….1/4 block away👍🏻

“It's literally a tasty meal and affordable.”

It's literally a tasty meal and affordable. As soon as I took the first bite of my cheeseburger, there were so many flavors my taste buds detected. I really recommend this place to anybody. And very respectful, polite cashiers. And yes, I know I should have also tried out the desserts 😓

It’s my last evening in town and I couldn’t leave without having one last dipped italian beef sandwich… noticed 4.5/5 stars average, decided JR’s Red Hots was going to be my last diner in Chicago… I come up every few years… but I know the next time might be in a few years. Anyways long story short… this food is delicious. Outdoor seating is a little cold this evening but they have a super clean standing heated eating area… my neck is getting a tan as I write these words! Haha Had to try their hot dog and milkshake!

In town for 2 days and I’ve got a short list of Chicago things to do. #1 is eating my first Italian beef and I’m happy I did as it’s the best one I’ve ever had! Meat, peppers, sauce and some surprise fries! Love it!

“Good ol' hot dog stand.”

Good ol' hot dog stand. Chicago dog was tasty. Vinegary flavor, fresh toppings, good snap on the wiener. Chili cheese dog was exactly what you want in a chili cheese dog. Messy af and piping hot. Tasty fries cooked to order. Pizza puff is a pizza puff 😆 Not necessarily a destination, but if you're passing by and want a quick, tasty bite it'll do.

“Less than 48 hours in Chicago.”

Less than 48 hours in Chicago. What’s do you do? Eat a bunch of food...had brunch, lunch, a fancy dinner and no frikin hotdogs. Our host found this place near where we would need to board the train station. I was pupped! It was also super delicious! Got two hot dogs, side of fries, & a tamale. Dogs & fries were grade A. Tamale was a microwaved deal. I would come back in a heartbeat!
