The Wiener's Circle — honest hot dogs in Lincoln Park. The atmosphere is half the draw here. Technique and tradition show up on every plate. Open late. Ibrahim Zidan: "The hot dogs are clean and everything tasted fresh and the cheese fries were the perfect combo"

“The Wiener's Circle is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tasty hot dog and a milkshake with a side of Chicago humor”
My Chicago Dog was ok, service not so great.
Way overpriced for the quality of the food. Cannot recommend it to anyone.

You better have thick skin and an empty stomach. The food and the people are great! I only learned of this place only 24 hours before while boarding my flight to Chicago and I’m glad I went.

We were in town visiting friends, and decided on some local flavor. Grilled or steamed red hots (Vienna beef) is always good, but their cheeseburger today won!! Oh, and cheese fries.

“First time ever with a chicago style hotdog.”
First time ever with a chicago style hotdog. This place was highly recommended to me and was conveniently on the way to Wrigley. Consider me converted to the one true style of hotdog! I had 2 other chicago style dogs at different places but this was by far the best one. Amazing experience, one that won't be forgotten.

“This iconic hot dog joint delivers not only delicious food but also a memorable, interactive experience.”
This iconic hot dog joint delivers not only delicious food but also a memorable, interactive experience. The hot dogs at The Wiener's Circle are undeniably delicious, and they offer a variety of toppings to choose from. I enjoyed the classic Chicago-style dog, which was perfectly seasoned and topped with all the traditional fixings. The food is a bit on the greasy side, but that's part of the charm. What sets The Wiener's Circle apart is its lively and entertaining staff. They engage with customers in a playful banter that's all in good fun. The humorous and sometimes irreverent interactions added an element of entertainment to the meal. It's not your typical fast-food experience, and it's not for the faint of heart. If you're up for some light-hearted banter and want a bit of Chicago's famously bold attitude, this is the place to go. The outdoor seating area was clean and well-maintained, and the service was quick and efficient. The prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option in the heart of the city. While the hot dogs are unquestionably tasty, the experience is what makes The Wiener's Circle unique. If you're looking for a fun and unapologetically Chicago-style dining adventure, you should give it a try. Just be prepared for a bit of sass along with your meal. The Wiener's Circle is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tasty hot dog and a milkshake with a side of Chicago humor. It's not a dining establishment, but it offers a distinct experience that's worth trying at least once. Just remember to bring a sense of humor with you! and please DO NOT PUT KETCHUP on the Hot dogs!!

“This is a lot of fun especially at night.”
This is a lot of fun especially at night. The Chicago dogs are some of my personal favorite dogs. Watched the review of the wiener Circle on YouTube from the Coney bros and I knew I had to go get myself a dog from here. Service is a tad different but makes it the experience it is.

“All the legends about this place are true.”
All the legends about this place are true. The counter staff are snappy with their retorts and dish it out and take it with fun and sometimes shock and awe. The main event of the Chicago hot dogs made of course with all the fixings except ketchup. I flirted with one of the wait staff and take her off to North Carolina. It's all part of the show.

I came here late at night after a show ready to chow down and I was not disappointed!! An amazing Chicago dog, lots of great flavor. Vibes were a little off because of some annoying drunk customers but the staff took care of them nevertheless. Ya gotta do it! Fries looked good too.
