    Cheese fries
    Holly O.

    I had to have a classic Chicago hot dog before I left town. This food court has a lot of options. They were pretty quick getting the food ready and everything was so tasty. I really enjoyed all the pickles, it was so good! I also recommend the cheese fries!

    Two great style dogs were eaten from this wonderful establishment. The menu is pretty big offering a wide selection of treats. The service was good, quick & hospitable. The ambiance is nice.

    While a Chicago hot dog is not an overly complicated food item - you'd be surprised at the number of places that miss the mark. Chicago's Dog House didn't hit the bullseye dead-center, but the ring just outside. Two and a half reasons why the Chicago dog was shy of perfection. One, the celery salt was hard to pick up on. Two, as much as I enjoyed the frankfurter being grilled and having a decent snap, it felt a little small diameter-wise. I'll share the half-reason later. My voracious appetite was hungry for more, and I also ordered a Snoop Dog, a chili-cheese dog. While not mind-blowing, I think it's A-OK considering CDH's fast casual nature. The service was friendly and welcoming. The speed was about in line with the other spots at Washington Hall. Finally, we have our half-reason. For a hot dog, ~$7 feels a little steep. Though, I do appreciate that rent at Washington Hall is probably not too cheap. Thus, Chicago's Dog House delivers on a respectable hot dog. However, for the time being the GOAT is still that little seasonal stand by the Art Institute. They have faster service, lower prices (IIRC), and and perceptible celery salt.

    Polish sausage and hand cut fries

    Born and raised on the south side, but living in ATL makes me miss ALL the Chicago food. We came to the food hall while we were out walking around. I can't speak to the parking since, we walked. But the location is very central and Chicago's Dog House is easy to find when you walk in the food hall. I ordered a polish sausage and fries. My daughter ordered a chili cheese hot dog. She said that her hot dog was very good. My polish was cooked just right and had the perfect snap. I'm a fry snob and really only love hand cut fries and their fries delivered! Perfectly crisp with just enough salt.

    Meh. Overrated. Chicago dog was fine but the other dogs we got were annoyingly gross. We went to a location in the mall doubt that helped. Service was 1 star.

    We were walking through downtown doing tourist things and I wanted a hot dog. We went in and I ordered a chicago dog, cheese fries, and a drink. My wife had some mexican food from another spot. This is in a food hall with like 10 different locations to choose from. My dog was good and my cheese fries were good also. I thought the price was a bit steep at $8.35 for 1 hotdog but I guess Chicago is a bit expensive.

    Plant based Chicago-Style Hot Dog with Cheese Fries
    Athena D.

    Love that this place had a plant based option to try a Chicago style hot dog. The cheese in the fries was so good too.

    It's located toward the back of the food court.

    It's located in a food court toward the back. The Chicago dog absolutely lived up to its yelp fame. Service was just as good. The dogs are grilled and are nice and toasty. The Chicago dogs were so good, I ate two! Great food court area that is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for a high quality Chicago dog!

    First meal after arriving to Chicago so may as well find a Chicago dog right? This Chicago's dog house is in a food hall right inside the loop and conveniently located by lots of shopping and other food options (so if you aren't feeling a chicago meal). Anyway, this is a casual food hall so you order at your preferred vendor, find a seat, and chow down. No bells and whistles as far as service or anything. We got chicago dogs and fries and both were good. The chicago dog had a great snap and my favorite are the peppers and they had a slight bite (my spice tolerance is supposedly high). Well done chicago dog all around. Fries were also crisp and nicely seasoned, think arby's curly fries but thicker and straight. If I'm in the loop and wanting a chicago dog, I'll def be back.

    In Chicago for the weekend and of course had to stop and get an iconic Chicago dog! Customer service was fast the food was delicious. The dog was amazing so many flavors definitely get some cheese fries!

    Bryan N.

    Great food, fast service. The Chicago Dog was good but the Alligator Sausage was better! Excellent seasoned fries. Located in an indoor food court. Very little traffic at other places, this place had a line! What does that tell you?

    Now this is a proper Chicago style hot dog.  Notice the neon green relish, celery salt, and poppy seed bun (and obviously no ketchup!).

The single is a double patty and the double is a triple. The burgers were deliciously cooked and very hearty! Root beer compliments the burgers well! The crispy fries with the garlic aioli and mornay sauce were very yummy! The crispy potato hash was probably the lowlight of this meal... love the crispy-ness of the hash, didn't love the gravy. Service overall was okay, they were busy so it got slow once our food arrived. It does get loud inside so be prepared. Au Cheval lives up to the hype! We will totally go back for the burgers, crispy fries and root beer!

The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service! Almost everyone at our table ordered the Wolf Burger after hearing my sister and her husband rave about it. When our orders came to the table, we were all PLEASANTLY surprised at how beautifully stacked and dressed our burgers were. A triple stack of patties, topped with cheese, bacon, a fried egg, crispy onions, and housemade pickles?! That's a recipe for delicious success right there! The Wolf Burger was indeed SCRUMPTIOUS! My goodness, I am still thinking about it two whole days later and how I can't wait to revisit this restaurant and try some more of their menu items. An honorable mention goes out to the delicious fries on the side!! They were the perfect cut, well-seasoned, and out-of-this-world. I HIGHLY recommend Little Bad Wolf to all folks looking for a delicious experience! The burger is sensational, the environment is impeccable, and this is a great spot if you're going on a date or out with friends.
