The food was tasty and the service was ok, just that I had forgotten to add a side of hot peppers which would've gone well with the sweet tangy BBQ sauce on the ribs

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]

☀️Patio — a Noble Square classic in summer.
🌙Late night — the kitchen runs past 10.

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 🌭🌭

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.

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.

We stopped here after seeing a special on The Food Guy. What he got looked much better than what we had. Our food was OK. Not bad, not great. Not what we expected. A bit pricey for what you get.
