I've never been so confused at an eating establishment. There are dogs. I like dogs...I have a dog...but do they never accidentally pee or poop inside? Menu is really big, a bit too many options so I had to stare at it for quite a while. Food is decent. I had a Chicago style dog and chili cheese fries. My son had a cheeseburger and fries. We had two fountain drinks. The total was $40. Inflation or are these particular prices unreasonable? I don't know, but $40 for a burger, a Chicago style hot dog, two fries (to be fair, one was chili cheese fries), and two fountain drinks seems excessive. Service was pleasant. I could see how the concept works for dog people who are dog crazy. Again, food is decent, prices high, service pleasant, decor and concept a bit confusing. read more

Dawg Park - Chicago style dog (btw, I read other reviews and this was definitely NOT a Vienna sausage) and chili cheese fries (has beans). - Hot Dogs Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

Stopped by Dawg Park in the Glen and tried the lemongrass chicken sandwich. It was good, but a little on the dry side--definitely could've used some extra seasoning or sauce. My daughter had the smoky BBQ sandwich and my son went with a hotdog, and they both absolutely loved their picks. The spot itself is super cute and in a great location--right in the Glen, which has that lively city vibe but still in the suburbs. They also have fun extras for the kids like giant Connect 4, which kept them entertained while we ate. Overall, a great place to check out if you're looking for something a little different in the area! read more

Ok, really cute place. Like the dog bowl idea which makes it unique. I'm sure also being dog friendly is great. Ordered a Mac and cheese for my little and an Italian sausage for myself. The Italian sausage is a good size. So definitely worth it. The Mac and cheese was okay. Didn't think it was special but appreciate the option for the little one. Like it's a casual quick food spot. The theme and decor is fun. No complaints on service. They were nice! read more

Dawg Park is the cutest place, not only because it's made like a mock dog park, but also because you can bring your furry friends in with you! ANDDD, the food are served atop cute doggie bowls! There are two locations- Glenview and South Barrington and at both locations you can get their creative hot dogs, burgers, rice bowls, shakes and much more - along with VEGETARIAN options/substitutes as well! What I tried : Ninja dog, veggie, no bacon - Loved this! Garlic cheese fries - something about that cheesy garlic made the fries magical lol Bbq dawg,veggie, no bacon - very tasty Hot garlic bowl - super filling Spicy basil vegetarian burger - very creative and lots of flavors that compliment each other well Coconut pineapple shake - I can drink this all day Round up your family, fur babies included, and stop at either location for a hearty meal. read more

We had such a fun experience at Dawg Park! The dog-themed atmosphere makes the whole place feel playful and unique. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and their kindness really stood out during our visit. Everything is made fresh to order and brought right to your table, which I really appreciated. The ornate milkshakes were a highlight!!!!!They're both beautiful and delicious. Overall, the great food, creative theme, and welcoming staff made this a fantastic experience.

Dawg Park - Chocolate Shake & Chicken Tenders and Fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

See all

This is a cute, dog themed hotdog and burger restaurant. They have a fairly large menu of unique hotdog creations that can also be made as a burger or bowl (with rice or diced potato). They also have apps and shakes. The staff (owner possibly?) was super kind and friendly. The pricing here is a bit high, with most hotdogs around $9 and does not include any sides. Milkshakes are also $9. The restaurant was clean, but also pretty empty. There is a play area as well, and some unique seating. The food is served in dog bowls, which may be cute or off-putting depending on how into the theme you are. One of the staff (owner possibly?) had a crying baby on a zoom call, and the volume was turned up so loud you could hear it across the restaurant. This went on for quite some time (10 minutes at least). I get being a parent, but I'm not sure why he didn't just turn it down a bit so it wouldn't bother everyone in the restaurant. The food portions are pretty good. They still don't quite justify the price in my opinion, but you almost certainly won't need more than one of these hotdogs. The ingredient quality is excellent. I am especially a fan of the split top buns they use for the hotdogs, similar to what you would get a lobster roll on or something similar. They use jumbo Vienna Beef hotdogs (the best brand). The combinations however, fall a bit flat for me. I asked several people who had been here as well, and they also felt the combinations were not very cohesive and balanced. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, but not something I would go out of my way to eat again. I think if their flavor combinations were better, or their prices lower, this might be a more compelling offering, but as it stands, it perfectly fits Yelp!'s definition of 3 stars, "OK". read more

Dawg Park - Menu Part 2 (Mid-2024) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

See all

Arf arf! The TLDR (too long, don't read) version is they have gourmet milkshakes that look Instagram worthy but leave a bit to be desired on flavor and value. Average burgers, dogs, and sides. The longer version is this is a unique stop for comfort food like burgers, fries, bowls, and other sandwiches. There's something on the menu for everyone, though I would say the avocado and bacon cheeseburger and teriyaki grilled chicken sandwich I tried here in the past couple months tasted a bit mediocre. Prices were a bit steep for the quality of food. The fries are overly salty. Milkshakes look appealing but lack in flavor delivery, esp since they're $10 a pop. Cute that the meals are served in actual dog bowls. There's also a kiddie corner with some jumbo blocks and huge Connect 4 set. read more

We came here with the grand-darlings and their mom for an elementary school fundraiser.  It's a fun kind of place for the kiddos and for families that might want to bring their dog(s) in with them, as they are welcome.  There were no dogs here tonight though and it was a dinner crowd of mostly school families.  You order at a touch screen and  it takes a little time to complete an order as you are prompted for sandwich and hot dog optional adders and such.  They could probably use another touch pad as there was only one and we fortunately beat a crowd that came behind us.  There were two staffers on duty and they were kept pretty busy. Our party of 5 had: - Smoky BBQ burger, $11.99 (mine) - California BLTA burger, $11.99 - Lemongrass grilled chicken sandwich, $11.99 - Kids' mac n cheese, $5.99 - Plain dawg, $5.99 - A couple orders of fries, $2.99 each. The food total was $58.09 and it was ok tasting but nothing to write home about.  The burgers were tall and messy and the fries were over-salty.  They do offer a pretty good variety of flavors for their dawgs and burgers.   We also later ordered an oreo shake and a chocolate mousse shake for dessert.  These were $8.99 a piece and while refreshing and not overly sweet, they were also watered down.  It also took quite a while to get these (about 30 minutes) after ordering as there were 5 labor-intensive shakes ordered ahead of ours. OK and fun to try once for the novelty of the place, but it's a one and done for us (unless the kiddos insist that is!). read more

Dawg Park = Dog Food Should have walked out as soon as I walked in. Mozzarella sticks had an odd sweet seasoning to them. Ordered chicken tenders as a safe bet at a new spot, and they smelled (and tasted) like they came out of a dirty fryer....which they probably did because you could also see the smoke coming off the deep fryers. Freezer to fryer to plate. What a bizarre ambience...advertising beer, but two tv screens, one playing Peppa Pig, the other a loop of dog videos. Just the place to have a few drinks with the boys and your dog (sarcasm). The place just felt and smelt dirty. Never again. Cannot understand how this place stays in business. read more

The nuggets are solid. Loved the teriyaki ranch bowl and yes it's worth getting an order of regular fries and sweet potato fries. 5 stars for service and ambiance. 4.5 on the food Went with my two boys and the gentleman was so patient with us. Thank you! read more

I was the recipient of a $5 off coupon for my birthday. I took myself to lunch. I visit this place before but every time I come, the staff is amazing, food is great. Your food is served in a dog bowl. Yes, it is! So much fun. Servings are huge so you won't walk away feeling hungry. They allow dogs in the restaurant and even have a separate menu for the pets. I think any restaurant is great when they serve deep fried pickles! The decor is simple but really cute with lots of dogs. Just a fun place to eat. read more

Dawg Park - Chicago hot dog and fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This is a cute restaurant where dogs are allowed inside. All the food are served inside a dog bowl which is a cool concept. We ordered the lemongrass grilled chicken sandwich, crazy curry chicken sandwich, and the spicy basil burger. The sandwiches and the burger were juicy and flavorful. We also got the garlic cheese fries which was pretty good. I think they have rice and chicken for your pet to eat. But I am not sure how much it is since it wasn't on the menu. We saw other customers getting it for their pets. If I come back next time, I would try their shake. read more

This place is pretty unique in not only what the business offers but also the theme that they place in their restaurant setting as well as their menu. I appreciate their attention to detail in certain aspects. The furniture within the restaurant was cute and dog/pet themed. The place was clean and presentable. I had one of their gourmet beef hotdogs and matcha milk shake. I would say the shake stood out more than the hotdog. The matcha shake was smooth and the quality of the matcha was honestly surprising.The hotdog was not bad in any way just did not amaze me either. The food came out relatively quickly and the presentation was nice. If you are in the area and have a specific craving for this type of cuisine, I do not think you will be disappointed. read more

As soon as I found a dog friendly restaurant with a Frenchie in the logo, I knew I had to bring mine to check it out! There are a lot of options on the menu, and I was excited to try the Asian inspired items. There was something for everyone to enjoy - even the kids and pups. They serve the food in the dog bowls, which is hilarious. They are also very nice to offer a disposable bowl so we can give some water to our dog. In the back corner, they have giant jenga style blocks and giant Connect 4 games, which kept my kids entertained for a while. I didn't learn until I was leaving that you can also order food for your dog - a bowl of white rice with chicken or another protein. It's rare that I find a restaurant where everyone enjoys the food, so we will definitely be going back ASAP. read more

I feel like a dog in Dawg Park as they serve your food in a large shiny dog bowl. Yes they do, as I was surprised. I ordered the Smokey BBQ burger which is exactly what it sounds like, a BBQ burger served in a dog bowl. Burger was very juicy as I had a hard time keeping the burger in one spot after taking a bite. Overall, you can't make a mistake with any burger as the food is done right with great service. They give you a number tent and will call out the number when your food is ready. Cost per order is around $10 and you get plenty of value. I will definitely come back for more. read more

If you're looking for a fun place to bring the kids this is a great place. The menu has something for everyone from appetizers to burger, hotdogs to milkshakes. There are games plus indoor turf so it's like you're outdoors but really you're inside. I had the fried pickles that tasted just like I expected. My daughter had a buffalo chicken bowl that was good and served in a dog bowl. That was fun! We both had milkshakes and they were good, presentation was over the top. It's pretty pricey for what it is (I paid $43 for 2 shakes, fried pickles and the bowl). However, it was a fun experience so... read more

I am giving 2 stars as the food seemed like if it was fresh would have been good. Yesterday my wife put in an order through thei website at 7:30 pm and scheduled a 8:40 pm pickup as I would be close by and could get it right after work and their hours said to 9pm Before leaving work I got a phone call I couldn't answer. Once out I checked the message. Somehow my pickup time got changed to 8:35 and the message started "are you going to pick up your order, the tablet says pick up at 8:35 it's 8:33, so are you going to come pick up your order because we are going to close right now" I called back and let them know I was 6 minutes away, however I should not be getting a call minutes before I'm scheduled to pick up the order. I take it 20 minutes home and immediately notice it is very cold. More than the time it took to pick up and take home cold. As now they were closed I waited til a few minutes ago to call and complain. I got the same employee who left the message who let me know they make the food when it comes in on the tablet, so my food had just sat there for over a hour, and all they could do was say sorry. read more

Great hot dogs, fries and burgers. A little expensive, but worth it. Try different dogs they offer for a real treat.

Stopped here for the cookie shake. It was so sweet and so delicious. They coat the outside with chocolate and little mini cookies and top it off with a big cookie. So satisfying when you're craving a milkshake. The inside decor was so cute. I wish I had a little furry friend to share a dessert with. Very dog friendly! read more

Yes very good, have ordered from here multiple times and always good and consistent. Good hot dawgs, burger, chicken sandwich and bowl

After a previous visit for milkshakes, I returned this week for an entree, mostly because I knew it would come served in a dog bowl! I had the lemongrass chicken bowl, which was served over a choice of rice or diced potato. I chose the rice. The flavors were good and the portion was plenty for lunch. My parents both had beef and pork hotdogs and enjoyed them. If I could change anything, it would be to eliminate the foil bowl that lined the metal dog bowl, or to offer recycling for it. Sustainability matters! read more

I got food at Jibek Jolu. Ian and the Mrs. got a Hot Dog and a Cheeseburger respectively from Dawg Park. Ian loved his hot dog, as usual. Mrs.'s cheeseburger was requested well done and it was prepared well done. A little bit on the dry side but adequate portion sizes on both options. It was an interesting name for a restaurant, for sure. read more

It makes me sad to post a negative review but this experience requires it; Lousy ketchup, charging for pickle and chopped onions. The hotdog was $4.99 before tax. I would gladly pay a little more to have all reasonable condiments and toppings (pickle, onion) than have it tacked on afterwards. It feels cheap, sneaky, and certainly not customer friendly! The man argued with me re: upcharge for "vegetables." Didn't understand why it bothered me. Interesting to learn, I am not the first to complain about the unbelievably vile ketchup. He said something about trying to get Heinz but couldn't. I've been here a few times over the years and have never seen nor tasted Heinz. I told him so after he lied to my face. No decent ketchup or catsup? No fries for us, thanks. The Vienna Beef hotdog, minus onions and a pickle, was chargrilled and tasty. Phew! The woman cooking it knew her way around a great hot dog. The bun was confusing because it was a top split bun. These buns are common in New England but, in my experience, rare in Chicago. It was cooked properly but a toasted, buttered, split top hot dog bun detracted from the yummy, nearly naked hot dog. Admittedly, the bun was a treat but distracting. I do not know how this place stays in business. Clearly, the fine folks dining here are either not purists (poppyseed bun and good ketchup, please!) or don't mind. Me? I came for a quick lunch, got my Vienna Beef hotdog but do not plan on returning. There are plenty of good restaurants in The Glen and I prefer spending my money where the customers aren't nickeled and dime-ed. The two stars are for the Vienna Beef hotdog and the skilled woman who was cooking. read more

Dawg Park is located in the middle of the Glen strip! It is a pet friendly restaurant, that is themed after a dog park. They have a fun dog painting as well as lawn games, and a neon light and grass backdrop. We had the Thai fries which were fantastic! My husband had the hot garlic burger and I had the lemon grass chicken. The burger was delicious, and the lemon grass chicken was served in a dog bowl which was very fitting to the theme. We also tried two milk shakes. The strawberry cake and the Cookie Monster one. The strawberry cake tastes like a strawberry cheesecake but in shake form, while the Cookie Monster tastes like cookie dough. Lastly we decided to share the Smirnoff sunrise drink! It was delicious! It was served in a bucket and is a pretty hefty portion. Thankfully we shared it! All in all, from the theme to the delicious food and drinks, we will be back soon to try all of the other fun items on the menu! :) read more

Found out about this place through a friend so had to try it out. They had a wide variety of hot dogs, sandwiches and shakes. I didn't want anything too big at that time so I went so I just got fries and a shake. I ended up getting the zesty sweet potato fries and the vanilla shake. The fries came in a dog bowl which I thought was cute and the shakes were big but delicious. I would have to come back again to try the others on the menu. read more

First time coming here, we walked in and it very nice inside, but it seems like this place is more for people with dogs. You can bring dogs into the restaurant. I know the name is dawg park, but I thinking more like hot dogs, since the outside tables have the Vienna hot dog logos on them. They have a big menu on the wall and they have menus on counter as well. I sat down to take a second to see what to order. They have two TV's, so while you wait you can watch. You have to order at the counter and when your food is ready you have to go pick it up. They will give you a number card, once food is ready you handed it to person at counter. I ordered a cheesy Italian beef and it tasted just like the one you buy at the store and slap on a roll. The bread was dry since they didn't wet it. For the cheesy name of it no where to be seen it was a blob of cheese as pictured. The meat was still cold that's why you see dry cheese. I got three burgers California blt, muddy burger and teriyaki ranch burger. The California is more like a regular burger with all toppings and just add avocado. The meat had a very weird taste. Don't know if it was bad meat or a seasoning but I didn't eat it. The fries don't come with the burgers it's an additional add on. The muddy burger had to be the best thing here, the meat is deep fried with a tempura batter. The teriyaki ranch burger was not something I liked. I would not order again,it was drench in teriyaki sauce and it killed the flavor. Something I didn't like was the food was already cold when we received it. They also serve your food in dog bowls which can be pretty cool for people who want to be in trend but I was not a fan of it. They offer beer and milkshakes that are loaded with things and looked very good. The cost of the food and add on was pretty pricey. The place was very quiet the only thing when dogs start barking it gets loud. read more

Overpriced by 100% for greasy, gross food. Only gets points based on allowing dogs Spent $10 on a kids meal. Blaech. Didn't eat more than one fry and bit/spit out half a nugget. Swear the oil is burnt or too high. Throwing some weird spice on fries does not validate a $5 tag, same for $6 charcoal bits of mini-dogs in blankets. Who TF deep fries pigs in blankets?! And makes the pretzel dough tanned brown briquets? Staff said the dogs are cooked enough if the aren't burnt. Are you kidding me? This made me gag and replace them with the undercooked inside, greaseball outside questionable "chicken" flattened dough balls loosely called nuggets... which i bit into then gagged at what did not resemble anything close to chicken. Seriously, ANY fast food place would be 1000% better. Ack ack ack. Ugh read more

I have been wanting to try this place for so long. And i finally did. There were so many interesting stuff in their menu. But since I'm a tempura girl. Of course I'd order their Ninja Dog. Ninja Dawg Tempura-battered, topped with teriyaki sauce, avocado, onions, spicy mayo, toasted garlic and chili flakes It wasn't on a regular hotdog bun. Not sure what kind of bread it was but i liked it a lot. The hint of wasabi with their mayo was perfect. I also ordered their sweet potato fries. Yummmmm. Definitely going back to try more.

A friend of mine had recently tried this with her significant other and immediately after going told me that I needed to try it out. I owe her a meal here for recommending it to me. The menu is innovative and there are so many options I know I have to go back. I love that they also have a vegetarian option for all of the food that they offer. I am a carnivore but I have a lot of friends that are not. Whether you want a burger, a dog, a sandwich, or just a shake you need to try this place out!!! Bring your appetite because the portions are not skimpy and your wallet will still be happy!!! The decor is adorable and there's even a fun section for the kids!!!

After a day of running errands and being on the go, hubs and I were starving. He wanted a burger and the Dawg Park popped up on my search. It sounded intriguing and it was on the way home so we stopped in. It was a weekday and around 2pm. Immediately greeted by the owner and he was so friendly, patient, and helpful with explaining the menu to us. Hubs settled on the bbq burger and I wanted the Philly cheesesteak. The fries we shared. I also got a matcha green tea shake. It was chilly in the restaurant but being that it's 2pm on a weekday, we completely understand the need of a small family owned business to save some money to keep them business. We kept our jackets on and it was perfectly OK. The food? - OH EM GEEEE!!! So delicious! The first bite to the last was so yummy! I do the happy dance with good food and every bite made me do the happy dance again and again. The shake was so rich and delicious! Worth every calorie with each sip! We are looking forward to going back again with our sons. They're going to love their burgers and even more, the cute dog bowls our food was served in! This place is definitely 5 Paws rated!!! It's so good! read more

Decided to bring my fur baby with me this time around to try and get her more socialized. She wanted to make friends with everyone so it was all sensory overload but overall she did well. I was pleased to find out that they had something for her since her humans were famished and needed dinner. They gave us a foil bowl for her water and gave us the option of beef and rice or chicken and rice for the fur baby at $5 which is about a kid's meal. She ended up getting the chicken and rice and she ate most of it despite being nervous with the new environment. We will definitely be back so she can get ready for patio season! read more

I wanted to love this place, but the burger tasted like it was previously frozen and not a fresh ground patty at all. Nothing special at all. The toppings made it tolerable.

We've been here before, so we decided to try it again, but something has changed - and not in a good way. First, the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night, which should've been our first clue. My wife ordered a plain cheddar cheeseburger, and it was brought to the table with onion, lettuce, tomato, and some sauce. When I brought it back up to the counter to point out that it was made wrong, the employee gave me such an attitude. Then it was brought back to the table cold. Why, you ask? Because they just removed the toppings and brought back the same burger without remaking it. My wife is convinced that they over-seasoned the second burger, because it was inedible. By this time, I didn't even feel like bringing it back. My wife is known to be picky, so I tried it, and it was awful. The burgers used to be delicious and grilled, but now they're just greasy. They also charged me .70 for a pickle on my burger. Who does that? Nobody. We're voting with our wallet, so we won't be returning again. Maybe the ownership changed, but it's not what we remember from previous visits. There are much better options than this place, and I don't really care if the food is served in a cutesy dog bowl if the food isn't good. read more

This joint takes the canine theme to the max, a big hit with my dog-aficionado daughter. There are lots of good options on the menu besides sausages: burgers, bowls, other types of sandwiches. Sides are a thumbs up--regular fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, fried pickle spears, all very good. The dogs are great; my favorite is California Thai. Plus they have Coke Zero in the fountain machine. I question the decision to show Animal House on the TV during weekday lunch hour (in summer when kids are around), but otherwise I have no complaints. The next time we came it was a pumpkin-carving competition show--much better! Service is always sunny, and the place is just all-around enjoyable. read more
