The Hat Chicago
The Hat Chicago — a fast casual spot in Noble Square. No frills and no gimmicks, just a solid honest room, and open late. "That mom-and-pop taste but with fresh paint on the walls, and the trim is painted nicely" — Berny Echeverria (bechasketch) [patio]

“Food was amazing. Fast service. Clean restaurant. Will come back again soon!”

“Good for late night hot dogs. They have other things on the menu such as chicken, Italian beef, probably burgers, certainly hot dogs. The food is great for the price. Also, 2 hot dogs is cheaper than 1 hot dog. So get 2 🌭🌭”

“From Indiana and this is a must anytime I’m around the area! Worth it”

“Marconi Original Chicago Style Hot Giardiniera on a classic au jus sauce dipped beef. Mmmmmmmmmmmm yeah.”

“Honestly love the vibes in here and we had Xmas music playing too. Classic boiled dogs are the way to go, so yummy!!! They were helpful at the register and nice and there was no wait on a Sunday evening. Also they did have milkshakes :) I was scared because of some reviews but it was splendid and exactly what I expected.”

“Very nice restaurant always amazing quality food in person at the restaurant and through Uber Eats”

“kind of pricey for a veggie burger combo meal, it was about $18. not a huge fan of the veggie patties it kind of tasted like fish batter. portions are very large and makeup for the cost.”

“Great place to pick up and sit to eat. Burgers, hotdogs, chicken, and beef sandwiches.”

“the food was decent, but the "love it or leave it" flag outside the bathrooms is highly disturbing. this is in the heart of the city, with a highly diverse population - it only creates a divisive and unsettling aspect to this local favorite. my girlfriend and i each ordered cheeseburgers of different wellness, tho they both were cooked the same. the fries are definitely good.”
