Gene & Jude's

“If you come to Chicagoland.”

If you come to Chicagoland. You better stop here and get it all both orange and grape drinks. They place is a staple. My grand parents lived 7 mins away and we visited every weekend and ether we would get Gen and Jude’s or Jake’s pizza. But the fires from this place you must come.

If you are in the area, even if you're not, this place is worth the stop. Great place for Chicago-style hotdogs.....and don't even think about asking for ketchup!!!

“Good place, good food but with this Economy and their prices I’ll refrain myself to go there as I used to.”

Good place, good food but with this Economy and their prices I’ll refrain myself to go there as I used to. 👀 This is a cash establishment only.

“Great place to have a simple hot dog.”

Great place to have a simple hot dog. Service was good and pretty fast to get my food out. The atmosphere is just like a mom and pop restaurant. The hot dog was great it just had a little too much mustard for my liking. Other than that I loved the fresh fries and hotdog. I would definitely recommend and go back to eat when I’m I the area again. Gene and Jude’s definitely lives up to its reputation.

Pure Americana. Got a double dog all the way. Two franks stacked on top of a bun. This place definitely deserves all the awards, it's so good.

“Delicious snappy hot dog and fresh, hand-cut fries.”

Delicious snappy hot dog and fresh, hand-cut fries. Excellent tamale, corn and meat more flavorful than most we've had! Fast and efficient service, good value. Standing counter inside to eat at, not tables or chairs.

Solid hot dog, cooked great, and the fresh cut fries were ridiculously good. Don't mess around, just tuck right in at the standing room counter or eat it in your car while the fries are still piping hot!

A Chicagoland favorite, Gene & Jude's is a warm welcome home, and a must-stop for nostalgia and a cheap bite wrapped in a brown bag. Things change, cities evolve, but I'm glad some things never change.

My husband has been telling about this place and I finally got a chance to try it out. We both ordered hotdogs with everything. I was like a little kid watching them fix our order, reminded me of Saturday mornings runs to Jew town with my dad ❤️. This was one of the best hotdogs and the fries took me over w/skin…YUMMMMM 😋 I’ll be back next time I come back home to Chicago.
