Gold Coast Dogs at O'Hare is fantastic! It's always a gamble…read moregetting food at airports that their cities are known for. Well, I've been to Chi-town a lot and have eaten a lot of their dogs. I can happily say that Gold Coast is up there with the best. The poppy seed bun is a tad sweet and pillowy and it keeps its structure. Inside the beautiful bread is the glorious hot dog that's super juicy and mouthwatering. Topped properly as a Chicago dog should be with mustard, celery salt, pickle spears, tomato, short pepper, relish, and onion. Talk about flavor explosions in your mouth. Wow-wee! If you're flying out of the terminal where they're located, do yourself a favor and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely LOVE Chicago Dogs, as living in VA, we don't have access to the authentic thing... So,…read morewhen in Chicago, I always try to hit a Portillos or someplace that has them and on this most recent visit I was too busy to get any while in town, so I ended up grabbing one here, at Gold Coast while about to fly out. I also equally love a good Italian Beef with spicy giardiniera, so I got one of those as well. The guy taking my order was friendly and when I asked which was better, he told me to go with the Italian Beef. I ultimately chose both and waited for them to be made, which only took a few minutes. Each sandwich comes with an order of fries, but I didn't want that many fries, but they don't sell them (or didn't offer them) without fries. When it came time to dive in... I started with the Chicago Dog and it looked decent, even with one sad slice of tomato across the center. It's supposed to have a small wedge of tomato inside it. The pickled green peppers were all at the back of the hot dog and there were only 2... so, I didn't get a bite of this until I got to that part of the hot dog. The rest of it was on-point! They even used a Vienna beef hot dog. When it came to the Italian Beef, I got the au jus on the side to dip and it came in a small cup, so I poured it onto the sandwich as I was eating it. Unfortunately, the beef was very dry, even though there was a LOT of it there and the spicy gardenia was basic and bland... I hardly noticed it was there. The bread was starchy and dense and not flavored well. Overall, this wasn't a very good Chicago Style Italian Beef sandwich. I really wanted to like this place, as it was my only hope for trying the basics on this visit, but I wasn't too impressed. If I needed to stop in here again in the future, I'll only go with the dog, definitely not the Italian Beef.

Date of visit: September 13, 2026…read more It was deciding whether to get mediocre, expensive food now or eat something when I got home very late (and that was assuming no delays). Since you're reading this review, you knew the decision I made. This wasn't a bad experience, just not a great one. They were out of white rice (sad face) and when I asked the friendly worker he said, "Uh, eggs and some veggies...?" Since he wasn't listing the veggies, I clarified my question by asking if there were onions and he confirmed there were not. He was right about that but the rice was also not very good. The orange chicken on the other hand was pretty tasty if crazy expensive. At least the staff was friendly, it certainly could have been worse!

This is ridiculous because this is the second time this year I had this layover, and the food was horrible both times and a waste of money.

Never again at this location, especially with the lady with an attitude asking if you want rice or noodles.

Nonetheless, the beef version is basically supermarket freezer section quality. Service and ambiance is par for the course at an airport. No urgency from staff, but at least the fella was polite.

This place doesn't even deserve one star. I know, I know, it's McDonald's, in an airport so you gotta give them some leeway. Which I did. I know not to expect much. But this was the most atrocious service I've ever come across for fast food in any airport I've been too, and I travel frequently. They won't take your order at the cash register (which is fine, we ordered from the kiosk anyhow) but did witness them tell people who tried to order they wouldn't take their orders and to order from the kiosk after they stood in line waiting. The kiosk didn't have paper so it wasn't spitting out tickets with your number on it. Snails pace from all employees, they were chatting and making jokes while people were (trying to patiently) wait for their food. They were calling out order numbers but people didn't have ticket numbers since the kiosk wasn't printing ticket receipts, so many people were confused. People waiting for their food for 20-30 minutes. I actually saw multiple orders abandoned because people couldn't wait any longer for their food or they'd miss their flights. Saw at least 4 orders just sitting on the counter that had been abandoned, other people considered just taking them since they weren't sure they'd even get their orders. Spoke up to the employee about our order with a reminder that we don't have a number because the kiosk didn't print one out. Told her what we had and she started working on it. Didn't have one of our items told her it was fine (no refund-but just wanted to get something and run) one of the lucky few in our time frame who received our order (missing an item-Apple pie, also not correct order-three orders of fries, we ordered two so I'm sure some poor bloke was missing their fries, only one cheeseburger when we had two) and had to sprint to our gate and barely made it. Whoever runs this McD's needs to get new staff, or retrain on customer service, and food procedures in general. McDonald's is supposed to be a consistent staple everywhere you go. This place was purely awful. I'm usually only one to write positive reviews but this was just the biggest disgrace that I had to let it be known. Please, for anyone considering, just get the cold sandwich and a bag of chips from the news store next door. You'll be much happier you did.
