5/30/26 Have driven past this place for years. Today was the day we decided hot dogs. Feel like an idiot for all the time we drove right on by and failed to stop!!! We LOVED the place. Menu was way bigger than expected!! Very reasonably priced, count on us to return again!!! I apologize for not being a customer sooner!! read more

Rude employee and manager/owner that refused to take accountability on shorting an order a hotdog and fries. Maybe slow down and listen. Yes order was from uber which I would get the refund through. But was calling just to see if the bag/items were there. Attitude and hanging up on is not acceptable. Don't care how good food is .. service is more important read more

A little place that most probably drive past and notice but are down the road before they can stop well I'm glad that my wife has been here before on her trips to see family. As we were heading home we decided to stop by and I am glad we did. The service was friendly as you ordered at the counter and wait to grab your food that is fresh. The Chicago dog was spot on and the Italian beef was filling and above average. I tried the celery fries and what a unique taste that it gave. Well you won't go away hungry and the prices are very reasonable. I can't wait to go back and try some different things off of a huge menu. And to top it off the milk shake was amazing. So if you are driving through Cedar Lake stop by. read more

Tons of options for you burgers, dogs, chicken, turkey or turkey burgers. I tried the Hawaiian burger and cheese curds, they were very well done and tasted good, I know pineapple is not everyone's tastes but they have many options, want to try the cheese curds burger next. Have the butter garlic fries, would be great late night but they close a little early for me. Mentioned it but they said it's hard to find workers, they do find good workers that provide fast and friendly service, so I just go early. The car theme restaurant is cool, oil cans for napkin holders. The outdoor space is in back and a nice place to enjoy your meal. Can't wait until I can do every item on the menu. read more

This is a legit Dog House in every sense of the title. Outstanding quality and more options for customer customization than I've ever seen.

This little hole in the wall seeks a great amount of American food for lunch. Even though I think they are overpriced, I've come here a few different time for lunch for the gang. For starters - the Italian beef with sweet peppers and mozzarella cheese is definitely worth getting. It's a little on the smaller size but it is packed with flavor - not bad at all! You also can't go wrong with the WESTERN burger! We've got this a few times and always love it - give it a try! Lastly, the Chicago style hot dogs always hit! They are on the smaller side but again pack a bunch of flavor. Fries are good and crispy too! Try this joint out! read more

Greasy spoon with great food! The hot dogs looked amazing, I went with a Gyro and it was delicious. The butter garlic fries set this place apart.. never had that before! More things should be smothered in butter garlic, it was yummy. The inside is pretty small and basic but I really enjoyed dining in the outside yard behind Corky's. It has lots of tables and the cutest was this little picnic table put into the back of a pick up truck, that was fun to sit back there. Great food, quick, and friendly! I will be back. read more

Food is great! Not many places you can get Chicago Style hot dogs. Especially this good. Plus the service was quick and the staff was friendly. read more

Typical Chicago style food & restaurant vibe but feels more "region". Food's pretty cheap and is solid for being exactly what it is. Haven't had anything disappointing here, but it's not exactly gonna blow you away. Good spot to get a cheap meal that's satisfying, overall. read more

I'm a DoorDash driver and I was picking up an order at Corky's Dogg House. There was a bit of a wait, so I was offered a free drink for my time. I rarely experience that type of hospitality, and it was truly appreciated. I plan on going back for the food the next time I'm in the area. read more

Love this place There is something for everyone So many choices and food is great Come here all the time but closes early so go early read more

This place went from being my favorite to an absolute joke. I used to come here all the time, but after stopping by today to order for me and my friends, I'm done. The service was rushed, and not welcoming. But the real problem? The food. I paid for dry, stale buns and ingredients that looked and tasted like they'd been sitting around for days. My Chicago-style hot dog, which used to be my favorite, was so disgusting I couldn't even finish it. It's unbelievable they still claim to be the #1 hot dog spot on 41--this place doesn't even come close. The fries were over-seasoned but edible. Even if the hot dog was a dollar, I'd still be disappointed. My friends tossed their food too. Save your time and money. read more

Corky's Dogg House - Outside seating area - Hot Dogs Near Me - Cedar Lake, Indiana

Since moving up to Northwest Indiana, I have been searching for an Italian Beef sandwich. I remember I visited a friend one time in Illnois many years ago and thought it was terrific. I was in Cedar Point so I found Corky's Dogg House. First of all, the sign outside is hilarious. You can see it in the photo I added. Corky's Dogg House is not very big. You order at the counter. The drink station is around the corner with the bathroom and there are about 6 tables inside. The menu does have a variety from hot dogs, hamburgers, Italian beef sandwiches, and sausages. I inquired about the Italian beef and wondered what the heck is giardiniera. After the cook told me the ingredients and he said one word I hate to hear...celery. The rest sounded all right. I skipped it though and they told me I could make the Italian Beef anyway I wanted. I had mozzarella, marinara sauce, peppers, and onions with au jus. The beef was real tender and I am thinking that the cut was the same as a philly cheesesteak. The au jus was hot and the bread soaked it in. But it seemed like something was missing. Luckily for me, the cook had the foresight to put giardiniera on the side for me. Even though it had celery, which I picked out, I gave it a try, and Italian Beef was transformed. That giardiniera is pretty important to that sandwich. I had fries with butter garlic. They just crinkle cut fries with a garlic taste. All of this was around $11 so it was a good deal and now I know what makes Italian Beef sandwiches so special. I would eat at Corky's again if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Classic Great hot dogs and everything else. I love this place. Employees are wonderful. I suggest you give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. read more

Another restaurant I door dashed for many many times over the past year. Owner and staff are friendly. They are always busting their _ _ _ _ _(fill in the blank) off each time I come there to pick up a dash order. A few times they have given me food just because they made too much. Love their fries and their beef sandwiches. Cozy place you can sit inside or sit outside and enjoy some sun rays. I recommend this place if you love a good burger some fresh hot fries, well every thing on their menu is damn good in my opinion. read more

Corky's is very unassuming. Truly a hole in the wall. As I drove past on a road trip, I just so happened to be craving a hot dog so I stopped in and MAN I'm glad I did. This place was exactly what I was looking for: good, solid grub. I wanted a chicago dog and boy they delivered. All of the fixings, atop the perfectly salty all beef hotdog. They asked me how I wanted my fries. Not knowing I had options, they presented me with several styles. I opted for the butter garlic. I dipped them in their ranch, which was out of this world, and I thought I was levitating. The best part? Both were under $5 together. A steal, truly. read more

It appears the quality of the ingredients has changed drastically. A tough skinned Chicago dog, soggy, and smashed was not what I expected. The tamale was dried out as well. Disappointed! Drove 347 miles to get mediocre food that appeared to use inferior ingredients and not prepared in Chicago style. Had a great experience many years ago but alas all things have changed. I thought only Cincinnati had terrible hot dogs. We won't be back. read more

Corky's Dogg House - Turkey burger, on a pretzel bun, and a cheeseburger. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Cedar Lake, Indiana

After hearing such great things about the food here, I had to try for myself. I was not impressed for 2 hotdogs that come with fries and a drink my total was almost $18! The girl asked which fries I wanted with my order, never said there was an up charge for the garlic butter, that by the way didn't taste like anything and were old recooked fries! The chili- cheese dogs had maybe a teaspoon of chili and didn't even see the cheese! Very disappointed, definitely overpriced and pissed I just didn't drive to Portillo's ,for much better hotdogs and fresh fries and cheaper! read more

Amazing menu, hot and fresh food served every time, great staff quick service can get a little busy around lunchtime, but definitely worth the wait read more

Great place to get a Chicago Dog on a poppie seed bun. I judge you if you advertise and you pulled it off. I am out on business and needed As quick fix. Came here ordered my pup and a chocolate shake to wash it down. The shake was very good!!! Anyway I'll be back to try some more of thier eclectic menu. Parking in the back. read more

Hungover and not even realizing the toll it was having, my friend and I woke up quite late in the day and were like let's grub. I was visiting the area and he was slowly taking me around the local mainstays and a Chicago dog sounded great. Y'all. Maybe I'm a weirdo because I had never had one-maybe their dogs are pretty standard for the area-but they were amazing lol. The butter garlic fries were stupid good and I honestly wanted to come back a few more times to try the other nosh but we were going for a proper circuit of the local food so it'll have to wait until I can visit again. When I do, Corky's will be a priority stop for me. read more

I am a Chicago girl who moved to Georgia over 10 years ago so when I head north I always look for a Chicago hotdog place. To my surprise I found Corkys still in Indiana, and definitely as good as any Chicago Pl., I've been to. The only thing that would been better would've been steamed buns! Reasonable prices, extensive menu. read more

CORKY's is a staple in Cedar Lake!!! Great food, fast and friendly service, atmosphere is nice they just remodeled and it looks amazing!

Great Food. They have the best burgers in Cedar Lake. Very fast and friendly service. We usually call ahead.

terrible!!! anyone can use family and friends to boost up score. gyros was absolutely gross!!! no where near authentic. anyone can cook a burger. beef looked like it was purchased from strak and ventile and reheated. absolutely terrible. seriously, just stay home and make it yourself or drive the extra couple miles and go to Franks or Pops. read more

I honestly do not understand how places with all this ordering tech can so consistently get my orders wrong. I even go out of the way to do as little "custom" ordering as possible and order the same thing as my wife to try to make it as easy as possible. They majorly messed up my order 6 months ago and I had avoided going back. Tried again today, got home, and both my wife and my sandwiches were wrong yet again. Last time I get food here. read more

Best food in indiana! I love the girl Daniella she is always super helpful and happy!

Great hot dogs, excellent customer service, fun place, nice atmosphere. Great staff! Short wait time.

We ordered 2 hotdogs, a Chicago dog, and loaded fries. Everything was GREAT! still crispy and warm when we got home! Staff was helpful, courteous and very communicative. The price was very reasonable as well! We will absolutely be back read more

We've stopped in several times. Love love the maxwell street polish. Garlic fries r to die for most times, maybe it was the person behind the counter but once they were not up to what we've come to expect. Weekends this place is packed, during week lunch is busy. My only issue is parking lot, owners needs to put some of their money back into upgrading the lot. Other wise in and enjoy read more
