“Stopped here late night and the staff was so accommodating. Didn’t catch his name, but my guy who was standing out in the cold at 11:00pm treated me with the utmost care. Jen who ran my food was incredibly hospitable and thoughtful! . Thank you for being so professional at the end of the night.“
“Gene and Jude's is my preferred destination for Vienna hotdogs. I typically opt for mine plain with a double dog, and it consistently meets the expectations of both myself and my family. I've also tried their tamales, which are of high quality. The popularity of this establishment is evident from the long lines often seen outside. The employees are courteous and welcoming. I highly recommend this establishment and believe you will enjoy it as well.“
“Juiciest burger in Illinois! I've never been to Au Cheval, but several people have told me that paradise pups burger tops Cheval. The bun is tasty, patties are fresh, and the sauce is out of this world. Parking is a bit cramped and be prepared to wait but these burgers are WORTH IT!“
“Best Sandwiches around - Steak Sandwich - Shish Kabob Sandwich - Italian Sausage or beef or combo you cannot go wrong - Mike and family are the best people. The fries are fresh cut and does the double fry so crispy outside and fluffy and soft inside.“
“I liked the hamburgers, they are delicious, they cook them right away, the delicious onion rings give you a very delicious dip.Parking: The parking lot is large and if you don't want to eat at the tables you can eat in your car or inside.“
“I’m born and raised in Chicago and this was my first time at this place. Their beefs are good quite smaller than what I’ll get in the neighborhood restaurants but they’re good. Served with no cheese but you won’t miss it. I’ve went to this place 4/5 times since I found out about it. You won’t be “
“Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.“
“Just had a big baby double cheese burger, large dr. pepper, onion rings and sport peppers on side. the location wasn't busy and enjoyed the speedy service. they do take credit/debit cards for a 25 cents processing fee. Definitely recommend it.“
“It's a Chicago Westside classic!? Ordering and receiving your food takes literally minutes! And they have plenty of parking! This is very good because the restaurant is situated at a very busy intersection of Grand and Pulaski. My only other slight gripe is that sometimes they tend to over salt the fries a bit, which isn't good if you're trying to lower your cholesterol intake, but it's a seldom issue. Overall, this place is a must try if you're traveling through the West Humboldt Park area and seeking good, cheap eats! Enjoy!“
“I'm from Atlanta Ga ,and was visiting family and friends and we stopped in for a hotdog ..delicious ? and the fries tastes like McDonald's fries ( although they are not )lol I ate mine and my friends..nice atmosphere, and the gentleman who took our order was great ?“
“Best Italian beef in the city. I come here because I was told they don’t dip the sausage in the Italian beef juice which is great because I want to enjoy an Italian beef without worrying about consuming pig juice.Quick friendly service, definitely worth trying if you are in the area.“
“This place was awesome! The folks running the place were great! They took the time to help make recommendations and talk with us, which we super appreciated. The Chicago dogs were fantastic and the fries were tasty! Definitely recommend! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!“
“I first found out about Fat Johnnie’s from Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. It’s a shack on the side of the road that serves the best hot dogs you’ve ever had in your life. You won’t regret making the trip. It’s phenomenal as are the people running it. The tamale’s are great too.“
“I've tried many fancy, trendy, and much more expensive burgers but I still prefer the big baby cheeseburger (with small fries of course). It came out piping hot (drools). While it is two patties, the burger itself is not huge (which I consider to be a good thing) and the portion is very reasonable. Just a well-balanced, well-built, good-quality burger that's buttery in all the right places. 10/10 every time. Delicious!“
“Cash only! Went with the double cheeseburger and fries as well as the hot dog. The burger was two smash patties with American cheese. The patties were crispy with the edges being even crispier. The lettuce, tomato, onion, and sauce were all typical. The fries reminded me of five guys just not as tasty. They also got cold quickly which didn't help. Finally, the hot dog was a regular boiled dog that was slightly sweet. Definitely a contrast to the burger. Even though it's cash only, you only need $8 for a double cheeseburger. Combing the price and taste, well worth a visit.“
“I hadn't been here in about 15+ years. Finally came back. Ordered a sweet beef, hot beef, chicken tenders, & fries for $30. Everything was great! Prices are pretty low given the crazy inflation going on right now. Quick service. Will definitely be back“
“Went to Lulu's with family I had two Polish sausage meals they were cooked hot and fresh My other family member had a gyro sandwich that was delicious well proportioned.I look forward to coming back for a nice down-to-earth place if you have time ,I suggest you please stop by You won't regret it.“
“I am a very huge fan of smaller scale restaurants that can be found hiding in the city. Family-owned businesses are typically the ones that have the best food because they do not necessarily look into mainstreaming menus and recipes. with smaller restaurants, you can typically find amazing price opportunities as well as some unique food that has not been released to the broad market. It almost makes locations like this become a treasure if you come across them. Huge shout-out for Lola's. Amazing dogs, burgers, shakes! give them a try when you get the chance. For me, it was worth every penny!“
“I remember as a young child...eating the Best Hotdog Ever...and it was Dave's...our parents took us there on weekends for special treats....Thank you for the Precious memories and still Best Hotdog Ever...Positive Power Always Precious Friends...Kid-friendliness: Always made us feel welcome as children.“
“Thank you geos!!! I always get the rueben, I'm addicted to it now. I love the garlic butter fries and I usually sneak a few bites of my boyfriends gyro, always so delicious. He got the burger today and it was great!! Your service is always so friendly and I appreciate kindness and care you put into your restaurant!! My dog was so happy with the little treat too!!! Thank you again!“
“Food is amazing nice and fresh, staff is even more amazing!!! Food isn’t super expensive. They have tables to eat, gaming. I will be coming here more often.Parking: Lots of room.Kid-friendliness: Kids have a variety of food to choose from“
“First. Let me just say that ive been coming to that area for years and never knew that thjs place existed.. I went through drive-thru (a bit quirky but doable), received my food (the order was correct), got to my destination (east of Manheim rd) the food was still hot. That hot dog and fries was delicious. Next week, im trying the beef.“
“In the area found myself here and I'm glad I did. Ordered a double cheeseburger ? this was made perfectly. I mean like a real homemade burger with grilled onion, cheese, and two well-seasoned burger patties. 9.3. The burger came out hot n fresh plus the cheese melted making this a messy, gooey, rich burger. It's cash-only here thou, but for me, this place is a gem probably in my top 10 for burgers in the city.“
“I LOVE this place.My family and I have been eating here for years, and still counting. I love that when I call, the lady answering knows everyone's order before I tell her what it is. That is some great customer service.They care about you and your food. 10 out of 10 recommend.“
“I love this place for a great Chicago dog and fries! They always have awesome toppings and the way it comes together when you eat it is amazing. Add some fries and you are getting tons of the best crispy, delicious fries. I think there fries are better that McDonald’s!“
“This is my go to spot right off the highway when I forget to make food or don't have enough time to make food for lunch.I usually go for the 2 hot dog special, Chicago style. I have never been disappointed with the food, and they're probably some of the better hot dogs around.The guys working behind the counter are friendly and welcoming.If I'm running late I will call the order in, and it's always ready waiting for me when I get there.Overall it's a good place to go to, and I will continue to go there in the future when I don't have time to make food.“
“My Wife and I were blown away at how tasty the food was. Everything was very flavorful and well seasoned. And the prices were great for the portion sizes which were generous. My Fire Burger especially was a good full sized burger. And best of all everything was halal.Everyone working here was very polite and accommodating. They let us go into the back to wash our hands before we ate.The inside seating is very limited since this is a very small place. They did have an outside seating area so in the summer time there is more seating. They had an extensive menu including delicious Mexican food.“
“I'm a little embarrassed to admit I was born in Chicago (and lived here the past 10 years) and have never tried a Maxwell style polish.So after leaving a movie at the nearby Regal, I decided to stop in here to finally experience one.And boy was I NOT disappointed.I feel incredibly luck to have a place like this that is open relatively late on the north side.The service was great, the prices very reasonable, and the music, cleanliness and vibes immaculate.And the polish piled high with grilled onions and mustard plus a few peppers and a can of orange pop... just perfection.I'd like to try some of the other items on the menu (bone in pork chop sandwich!?!)... but it will be hard to not order just the polish and fries (which are included with the sausage!)“

“Horrid! As a native Chicagoan I never expected to be disappointed by a neighbourhood hot dog stand. Yesterday, for the first time I went to Jr’s Red Hots. For starters they messed up the order of two hotdogs with fries. Instead we received two overcooked polish sausage with greasy fries. I couldn’t consume more than two bites of either. It was obvious the grill and oil from deep fryer aren’t routinely cleaned. Failed on a grand scale!!!! Never going back to Jr’s.“
“My go to place for Hot Dogs in the area. For the price and quality this hits the spot. I have tried the beef which is very good and the burgers are pretty good but I always seem to fall back on the Hot Dogs. Service is great and the customers seem to be regulars there (older crowd) since this place has been around for a while.“
“5 star food. The fries are delicious, the burgers are huge. I haven't tried much else but the few things I tried off the menu have all been stellar. The menu is just huge, full of Chicago favorites. This little mom n pop can roll with the best of them. If you're looking for good food and not worried about glare, this is the place. I guess it's like they say, the more dangerous the neighborhood the better the food.“
“H I wanted to try Korean cheese dog for the first time, but the egg toast looked delicious so I half-heartedly gave it a try.The store staff is kind and speaks good Japanese, which is refreshing.The toast itself was delicious, the eggs were fluffy, and there were a variety of sauces to choose from.“
“Ok, I love this place so much. I came all the way from Denver to eat their delicious food. I got the two for $7.99 hot dog w/ fries special, the hot Italian beef sandwich and I got a Polish dog deep-fried. HOTT DAMN everything was so damn tasty. From the fries to giardiniera that fell off my Italian sandwich. The service was great, more like fun cuz they all you 2 or 3 times what you got so they can make sure they get it right. And it is cheap to eat there. It was less than $25 for all that deliciousness! Mickey's, you have my heart, thank you! I will be back.“
“Wow Scoobys has got to be one of the greatest hot dog places in my area. Every time I walk in there I get the aroma of French fries in the air. I never know what to order but I usually get a beef and cheese. But their Chicago hot dogs are delicious too. Wash it down with a green river and you might not want to eat again for days.“
“They make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the restaurant looks really clean and the food is delicious and fresh. It was my first visit and I was impressed. I had their pozole. and also had a torta de carne asada I highly recommend this place.“
“It's a great ,greasy, hotdog joint. It was as expected. Nice clean and quick. I love the people who left a bad review because there were no tomatoes on the hot dog . Get over it that's how THEY make them there it's a hot dog it is what it is. I never had a bad hot dog ?.“
“Yum yum and more yum! This is a Clarendon Hills staple that never gets old. It's perfect for a family ice cream outing, date nights, and even private events. Every time I enter the store I am greeting by warm staff members who are eager to serve. Don't miss out on this wonderful ice cream experience!“
“Came here for another corn dog. My wife and really Luke the original kong dog with half beef and half cheese, so we got 4 of them. The corn dogs are good, I just wished the stick wasn't so long. Every time you take your first bite, you will bite into the stick. Otherwise, everything is good here.“
“Watch out Portillos this place can beat your hotdogs !! So good. The fries are yummy as well. I do love how the hotdogs and fries come together. Inside was ok. Cutish ambiance. . The service was nice. I did tell the lady that it was our first time hete. we didn't know they had specials so she could've saved us some money by telling us about them instead of ordering everything individually. We will be back to try other food.“
“Curiosity is going to win me over 100% of the time. Such is with this place today.Ate the sweet nacho bat and I was pleasantly surprised. It is quite good.It is on my way to the Jefferson Park blue line for work. I will be coming here more often to try the other flavors and teas/slushies ❤️You guys should check this place out.You won't regret it ?Vegetarian options: They have plant based sausage (which I'm gonna try next)“
“Super friendly and clean the food was great and even if you don't speak polish there are photos everywhere to help you order... I'd recommend the kebab if you're very hungry or if you're looking for something a bit lighter than the Zapiekanka is the way to go... And please don't forget to tip!“
“Not familiar with many places around here but I found this little spot and I’m obsessed. Food is fantastic. While waiting for food, I was talking to one of the workers and it was just a great atmosphere. You can tell they take pride in what they do and I love that about food places. Love these people and will definitely be back very soon.“
“Wow! Very pleasantly surprised by everything! The burger meat tasted so good. Toppings & bun didn’t take away from it. Fries were simple, resemble the look/size of McD’s, but a good amount for the cost! Merkts cheese cup seemed small, but actually was the perfect size for the fries & I’m a cheese lover!! Will definitely suggest to others! The price is right!!“
“I come to this portillos every weekend and the food is consistently amazing! Always hot and fresh! But the real reason I'm reviewing is because the staff is so nice and amazing! Special thanks to Lalo in the drive through for always being so kind and cheerful!!!“
“Nothing special about the dining area, but dining room is clean and the food is solid. I had the Double Cheeseburger Special which includes Fries and a medium Drink. Quality ingredients, burgers cooked perfectly, fresh shredded lettuce, tomato slices, dill pickle and mustard. Add your own ketchup or whatever. It's the little extra touches which can make a burger special. Donald's toasts the bun! Fries were perfect, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and perfectly salted. My wife had the Gyros Special, and she loved the extra onions and the generous sauce. The meat is tasty, and the pita is toasted. Solid gyros! I'm eating in the restaurant on a frigid evening and while the dining room is not full, there is a steady stream of customers coming through. The young lady taking our order is friendly, courteous, attentive and unlike 90% of young people who work in food service! Donald's is a winner!“
“Classic burger joint. I got a cheeseburger and fries. Both were made quickly. Fries are hot and crispy. Burger was a nice thin patty with brioche bun. Spent $14 which is more than I'd like but the ingredients taste high quality, so I guess that's why.“
“OK, so we wanted authentic Chicago dogs or Polish dogs and Bob-O's was highly recommended on Yelp. I am SO glad we went there. We had a Polish that was grilled with grilled onions and sport peppers. It was absolutely fantastic. We also order something I would never see outside of Chicago...a tamale on a bun prepared just like a regular Chicago dog with onions, mustard, pickles and tomatoes. It was great if strange. I would love to go back if I didn't live 2000 miles away.“
“Was near Roma's and haven't stopped by in a long time, wanted a good Italian beef, say no more. Definitely a great Chicago Neighborhood Vibe...One of Owner's was taking orders...Asked what I was in the mood for, "I said, a million bucks!" He said " Me too!"We laughed & dreamed...ordered the 6" Italian Beef with Sweet Peppers. Never mentioned whether I wanted dry or baptized, but gave me a perfect sandwich. I could handle the bun without worrying it would fall apart, not that I don't mind, but would need additional napkins. Certainly hit the spot, looking forward to trying their pizza next time...Looked delicious. "El Stool Presidente" would give it an 8.1, I'm sure! Cheers & Mangia!“
“This was the most phenomenal Chicago hot dog I've ever had in my 63 years. Just outstanding! The flavor, texture and taste of the all-beef and accompanying fries was simply delicious - a real bargain for the cost, too. A family-run business that could not have been more welcoming. I look forward to my return!“
