My husband and I came here for our first food stop in Chicago. This place is VERY small but we came around 8pm so we were the only ones there. I ordered the 'Chicago Hot Dog' and the 'Wagyu Jalapeno and Cheddar Banger' which was a wagyu beef sausage infused with jalapeños and cheddar cheese, topped with tangy Dijon mustard, sweet caramelized onions, and spicy hot giardiniera peppers. This was SPICY! I am usually good with spice but I had to stop half way thru. It definitely had flavor for sure. My husband got the 'Obama Dog' which had pineapple on it, unfortunately I don't see any description on the website. He also got the 'Snoop Dogg' hot dog which was basically just a chili dog. Regardless, he absolutely loved them. Service was quick and friendly. The decor was bright and fun. I would recommend and would be back if I was in the area. read more

Excellent hot dogs! I don't even like hot dogs but we ordered from here and I am now a big fan of Chicago style hot dogs. I love that the bun is soft with poppy seeds, and that there are so many toppings. I especially love that there were chilis on there. The hot dog casing itself was provided a nice crunch! Service was friendly. Seating is shared with the rest of the food hall. read more

The food was really great! The cheese fries tasted amazing! I tried the apple brandy duck sausage and asked the guy if it was good. He was very friendly and told me it was one of their most popular items, I can tell why! It had a great flavor and a great snap to it! I think this is the only Chicago dog house that serves the apple brandy duck sausage, but the other locations are also good as well, they just don't have the duck sausage. If you're near this location I'd recommend it! read more

I was only here for a few days but had to get a Chicago Dog! It was the best Chicago dog I've had in my years visiting. That poppyseed bun! I can't wait to come back and try the unique dogs and sausages they offer. Cool art everywhere and just a good vibe. The pickles and the sport peppers are incredible. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an authentic Chicago dog or something even more unique! Also service was kind and quick! read more

Cute little place to grab a quick bite! I'm an adventurous eater and I really wanted to try the alligator brat. It was huge! Definitely enough for one person. Tasted like a slightly greasy chicken. The sweet chili sauce and caramelized onions made this a home run. My only suggestion is a sturdier bun since it fell apart halfway through, but maybe I'm a slow eater. Can't wait to work my way through the menu! (PS: it was a nice touch that they brought the food to your table) read more

Chicago's Dog House - Alligator brat with fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Have to go here if you want the famous style hot dogs. It has that and plenty more styles. Chicago's Dog House is a dinky place with a big ass menu of hot dogs and side items. Get a table inside if lucky. The prices are pretty good on most things especially on the lunch meals. Came here at lunch and it was good timing because it was cheaper. It has weekday lunch specials. This is the time to come, but it's still not that expensive any other times. Get a hot dog, drink, and fries for about $8, or get 2 hot dogs and fries for about $9 or so. This is only on weekdays. A funny theme is they name some of the hot dogs for celebrities. They have styles according to the person whether they're an actor or a politician. I got the Lightfoot Dog. This is a vegan sausage topped Chicago style. Also they have a Trump Dog. It's a very burnt sausage with ketchup and mayonnaise. That's so wrong! I think it's just on the menu as a joke. That would be hard to imagine someone eating a garbage hot dog like that. Good to take to go. It gets pretty cramped in here. There's lots of interesting toppings and there's options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

I generally avoid trying to give one to two star reviews because I understand that this is people's livelihoods and everybody is just doing their best. However, the food here was just not good - we got the animal kingdom platter because it had a range of interesting meats like alligator, kangaroo, etc. And I assume that if you have something on your menu, it should be good. This was not the case here - I feel like these hot dogs were overpriced and just not well done. The kangaroo tasted floral (in the worst way, I don't mind floral flavors generally), and maybe that is what kangaroo meat just tastes like, but I have no other reference points. My brother basically wanted to go here because he wanted to have a fun Chicago hot dog experience and I 100% should have just taken him to the other no frills, hot dog joints that are actually good. I had a hot dog at a baseball game and that was so much better than this. The other thing is this place is pretty no frills lol (they don't even have tap water), which I don't care about, but to be janky and not good is not the vibe. The lamb gyro hot dog was one of the less bad ones but otherwise this is very much a skip. read more

Best Hot Dog in Chicago - A Must Try! Hands down the BEST hot dog experience we've had in Chicago! My husband and I stopped in and were immediately greeted by the friendliest staff--so welcoming and helpful as we decided what to order. They all looked so delicious! We ended up trying three different dogs: the classic Chicago-style hot dog, which was perfectly done and true to tradition, the Wagyu Banger, a flavorful beef sausage with jalapeños and cheddar - Definitely a BANGER, and easily one of the best dogs we've ever had and the Alligator, which was bold, unique, and packed with flavor. The staff and the meal were both a 10 out of 10, and we can't wait to go back! read more

Food is always awesome. If there is a wait it's worth it. Lots of varieties on dogs. Fun place to grab a dog.

We were looking for Chicago style hot dogs and came across this gem on Yelp! Parking is very limited since we parked along the street and it is metered parking. We tried a few different items here like the Chicago dog (which comes with mustard, tomato, onion, relish, pickles, sport peppers and celery salt), Blagojevich dog (everything in a Chicago dog with ketchup hahaha) and some frips (which are a cross between chips and fries that are spiraled from a whole potato to a golden crispy crisps). Everything tasted really good and the frips were a hit. We had toppings on our frips too but I think plain frips are more enjoyable. There's not much seating since our family of 5 took up a table and maybe there was one more table but this is a great spot to pick up and take it out. We met the employees here who got to know us traveling through the city and they were very nice and welcoming here :) Thanks! read more

I was really excited to try this place out. Especially after seeing bacon wrapped hot dogs calls Tijuana Street Dog. I thought I would get something similar to a "danger dog" that I wouldn't get in LA, back when I lived in California. Sadly, it wasn't even close. The dog itself was good it was charred and would be perfect with a Chicago style hot dog. Instead it's topped with a stop of bacon, and four jalapeño peppers. It was supposed to have melted chihuahua cheese and hot sauce but didn't really taste much of each. It was mediocre at best and was a huge let down. Maybe it's not fair comparing it to a danger dog, but that's just the first thing I can think of when I see "tijuana." I might return at a later date to try another dog, just not anytime soon. read more

When in Chicago, gotta eat their hot dog! So here we go! We had just left the Lincoln Park Zoo and found ourselves to enjoy a walk to get there. The location is small. Probably 12? Or 3.5 parties? The gentleman was nice and cool. TV was on a classic movie, can't remember which one. Though entertaining for our meal. I don't know much about hot dogs but I was satisfied. Sodas and water are available. Sure, try them, why not! read more

Food 10 Service 10 Ambiance yes Great spot for all kinds of sausages and dogs and the fries are great too. What really makes this place stand out is the variety toppings and meats used in their sausages. And it's not just the novelty that makes this place good the taste is also a win. You're unlikely to find the variety at other places and so far everything I've had all tasted so amazing. Seating is limited so be prepared to order to go. read more

Oh how I wish I'd tried this place sooner. Good food, good vibe, awesome staff. We will be back often. They have hotdogs you aren't going to get anywhere else. Affordable prices. Quick and kind service. And check out the kitschy names of the menu items. Such fun. They have something for everyone, including vegans & adventurous eaters. Oh...and order some wings too. They're the bomb. read more

A good dog. I can't give it Weiner Circle levels of praise, but as dogs go, this one was tasty. However, the exotic sausages and other items are what will bring me back, there are some interesting looking tasty treats on the menu!! read more

What a happy accident walking in here was! I was in the neighborhood for something else and spotted this hole in the wall. We quickly decided to park and grab lunch. If you blink too quickly, you could miss Dog House, and you definitely don't want to. There are a couple tables and a few bar seats in the window and along the wall when you walk in. The menus are in a really cool and artistic chalk writing and there are a TON of unique choices! Choice paralysis set in quickly and my boyfriend and I both safely defaulted to trying the Chicago style hot dog. We made them combos to grab a canned soda and fries with the hot dogs. Service was super friendly and quick. Everyone was bustling behind the counter. In my very humble opinion, this chicago style hot dog deserves a spit in the Louvre next to our friend Mona Lisa. A work of art. Truly a picturesque chicago dog. And delicious on top of it all, I think I can die happy. We came home and immediately told our friends and want to go back. My boyfriend is excited to have a local place to get alligator, so we will be visiting again soon. Thank you, Dog House, for a great lunch! read more

This was a great place to introduce my kids to Chicago dogs. We had traditional Chicago dogs and a Clifford big red dog. Everyone was happy with their orders. Dogs are extra delicious. The 2 guys working there were friendly and nice. No public restrooms but there are clean ones next door at Chipotle (purchase REQUIRED). Love all the different dogs particularly those named after people. Wish we could have stayed in Chicago longer - we would have tried more different dogs. Highly recommend. It's a pretty small location with just a couple tables but when we came in there was no one else there. read more

This is a perfect example of how any properly cooked hot dog can't taste bad. The dog was just regular and the bun was soft. The avocado and cream cheese added some creaminess while the homemade hot sauce added a good amount of heat. Finally, the bacon crumbles and white onion provided some crunch. This dog had every texture which elevated the dog, but was way too expensive. read more

Chicago's Dog House is a tasty spot for anything off the grill with a twist. Hence, the food is great with very creative names for every hot dog, hamburger, or sausage on the menu. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere and art all around you feel like you're being invited to Alice in the Wonderland of Chicago. It's a little small but most customers are in and out. Overall, Chicago's Dog House is a must-try and a nice place to grab a Chicago-style dog. (Student discount as well) read more

10/14/20 - My sis & I were in da area by DePaul and we saw da sign in da winda & wanted to grab some quick eats. Dey had a sign in da winda 2 hot dogs & fries for $5.

Da hot dogs were charred on da grill and were pretty good but a little to salty, but watta U want fer $5 bucks. Da fries were double fried and were pretty tasty. Da chicken wings were cooked nice & crunchy but again were way too salty. Besides these 2 items dey have a number of specialty saaasages like Alaskan Reindeer Saasusage (Rudolph wit yer nose so bright won't you guide my sleigh tonight. Uhhh sorry Rudolph is now a reindeer saaaausage ($10), alligator saaasuage $10, wild boar brat ($10), rattlesnake & rabbit saaausage ($10), wagyu banger ($10).

As someone who is a native Chicagoan, I am very particular about my hot dogs. I have had hot dogs from all over the world. New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Bogota, just to name a few. That's on top of all over Chicago and its suburbs. This place is unquestionably the best of the best. If someone is driving in from the suburbs, is visiting from out of town, or is a local and just wants a great hot dog, this is the place to go. Superdawg and Portillo's are good, but this place is great! The hot dogs here are delicious with all the essentials like celery salt, pickle, tomato, onion, relish, mustard (obviously not ketchup!). There are also burgers and pizza puffs available. Oh, and the french fries are the best in town. If you're feeling adventurous, there are exotic sausage dogs on the menu also. Rattlesnake and rabbit sausage, alligator, duck, boar, and wagyu beef are all on the menu! The restaurant has a real neighborhood feel, so it's perfect for anyone who wants to get a real Chicago hot dog experience. Overall a fantastic restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Great location, on Fullerton and across the street from DePaul - come on, that's a recipe for success. Right off the bat, you're getting Cub fans, college students and folks from Lincoln Park or those visiting the zoo. Oh and Chance coming here with regularity - that's just killer!! Maybe Kanye and Kim can come by too? We came right on time. I'm pretty punctual - I don't believe in Philippine (due to trappick) time, Island (HI) time or Jamaican (soon come) time - a store/restaurant should open in a timely manner. Because people are hangry, like me. Anyway this particular morning, the cook was a bit late as he was biking in and we were cool with that because I'm also late on occasion. Which is an irony, I know. The lady who greeted us was very inviting and friendly and the cook came and we started talking about all of their unique hotdogs. I had the Mayor Daley dog, I tried the Cali burger and Duck sausage. The dog and sausage were fine but neither really shook my core. The Cali patty looked like a pre made frozen patty from Costco. Now the wild boar was very flavorful, I would have that brat again. I'd like to get back to basics and try their Chicago dog, when I'm back in the neighborhood. read more

I got to taste a couple of dogs at the taste of Chicago. This place can get very creative with their menu. I had a rattlesnake and rabbit sausage dog. It was somewhat dry because both are lean meat. I did like it though for its uniqueness and it did not taste gamey or strange. The vegan dog was not bad, it just needed to be warmed up some more. I would assume the restaurant has some very good dogs. read more

Speaking as a tourist, not an expert in Chicago-style hot dogs or anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The shop is small with only a few tables but the vibe and decor were very cute, eg. the maps, paintings, and portrait of Anthony Bourdain. We got a Chicago-style dog for a snack, and the presentation with all the toppings was beautiful. As a first-time tryer, I was surprised by how much I liked the hot dog. A lot going on - the snappy sausage, sour pickled cucumber, fresh tomatoes, and savory relish - but everything came together nicely and created a balanced bite. It was on the salty side so a sufficient amount of water was a must. read more
