“First time in Chicago and my boyfriend brought to this delicious place. So delicious! Super friendly staff, this place is the to go place if you want a great authentic style Chicago dog!”
“This place rules. Amazing hot dog. Amazing fries. A deep fried twinkie!”
“Excellent food and exactly the kind of atmosphere Id expect in a small hot dog place. Everything we got was top notch and cane or quickly. I think my only complaint is the dog doesn't come with fries and at $8 I feel like it kinda should.”
“Had to get one while we were in town. Pretty awesome Chicago Dog!”
“I will say a surprisingly good Chicago dog here. Poppy seed bun, neatly stacked and balanced toppings that were all fresh. Tasty hot dog underneath. That's a top dog! Fries were hot and tasty. A little pricey here (should do a hot dog and fries special). My only other note is their hot dog statue shouldn't have a red squiggle line on it. Cmon!”
“Awesome dogs. We had Chicago style dogs with a side of fries. Everything works so well on that dog. Loved it!!”
“The best Chicago hot dog!!! Excited to come back and try them all. Thanks for the great customer service Marcos!”
“Oh my God, just enjoyed rabbit and rattlesnake and a hot dog, alligator hot dog, and wagyu. The service the food my son and I love it!”
“I was only here for a few days but had to get a Chicago Dog! It was the best Chicago dog I’ve had in my years visiting. That poppyseed bun! I can’t wait to come back and try the unique dogs and sausages they offer. Cool art everywhere and just a good vibe. The pickles and the sport peppers are incredible. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic Chicago dog or something even more unique! Also service was kind and quick!”
“Support small business! Was really craving a hot dog and their grill charred hotdog with fries really hot the spot. Looking forward to checking out some of the other super unique choices on their menu next time!!”
