When you visit you will notice that lunch and dinner food (hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages etc.) and dessert foods (ice cream, teas, milkshakes, etc.) are served in separate areas in the restaurant. I went here for dessert and was not disappointed. They had a small variety of ice creams but they were really good. I got the triple chocolate ice cream and my husband had the Oreos and cream. The ice cream had a lot of flavor in a small scoop. The atmosphere is super fun. The walls are drawn on in crayon. I had so much fun trying to find messages in the scribbles. Dear Franks of Deerfield has great food and is super fun. Dear Franks of Deerfield comes highly recommended.

I have been meaning to try Dear Franks for some time and I am glad I finally did. I ordered the #5…read moreItalian Sausage combo meal with some sweet peppers and it was delicious. And it came with a ton of fries. I ordered the Dear Franks Famous Cheddar Cheese to go with my fries and I highly recommend that. Yum! My only complaint with it was that it was over $15 for the combo meal (not counting the cheddar cheese) which seemed a bit high to me. My wife ordered the #6 Cheeseburger combo meal and it was also very good. My kids each ordered the hotdogs and reported back that they were tasty. I was kind of surprised how large it was inside. For some reason, I thought it was going to be much smaller. But there was plenty of tables. The staff behind the counter was very friendly and the restaurant seemed clean. Even though we walked, I noticed there was a good amount of parking which is nice.

Portillo's is a Chicago staple, not only because of the great food, but also the consistency of the…read moreproduct, the customer service, and the quick turnaround. I stopped by because I had a gift card for a "free sandwich". The person in the drive thru let me know with full certainty that sandwich meant anything. So when the beef and cheddar croissant with hot peppers went through with no charge, I was super duper happy. Nothing beats good food with good people who know their stuff. Would definitely come back to this location.

Wow. I recently went in and saw they offered a "Patriot Burger" made by Danny G. This…read more Patriot Burger by Danny G is a bold, well-crafted burger that stands out from the first bite. The 3 patty burger is thick, juicy, and cooked perfectly, with a slight char on the outside and rich taste. It's clear that quality beef is the foundation here. The Patriot Burger by Danny G feels like a tribute to the American spirit--bold, unapologetic, and built on quality and hard work. Each layer reflects the idea of freedom of choice and individuality, coming together to create something uniquely satisfying. It's a reminder that being a Patriot is about pride in what you create and appreciation for the simple freedoms that make it possible. Thank you to Wiener Take All & Danny G for the "Patriot Burger"!

I suspect it was because they were busy cleaning up before they close at 9:00? The burger was juicy and ample. But this place is best known for their dogs. Nice, snappy sausage with all of the trimmings. I love the pickle spear and pickled green tomato on the side. The crinkle fries were crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.

Fun atmosphere, good music, excellent customer service and very clean indoor & outdoor dining area (limited seating but it's better than nothing). I have the Francheesie Hot Dog & it was great. Also, love the bread they use here for their buns. Soft, and not cheap. Fries are on point as well. Better than some of the usual cheap crinkle cut or shoe string fries. I'd put their fries on the same level as Five Guys. For the vets & active military in the area, take note they do offer a military discount and your fountain drink is on the house. Loved the experience and food Mean Weiner. Stay Mean!

Changes for the worse! No longer do they have hand cut fries…read morebut now serve frozen 'dusted' ones..... big disappointment. Almost as bad, the jumbo hot dog comes on a bun instead of French roll and the bun fell apart for 3 of the 4 of us. The hot dog was as good as ever but too much else has changed for the cheaper..... The servers were pleasant as usual and the interior hasn't changed in decades. Rumor was it changed ownership and this suggests it may have happened.....

I ordered the two hot dog special that comes with fries and a drink, I was able to get one of my favorite drinks, red crème soda. Before I settled down my food was ready quickly. The hot dog was a natural casing dog which I loved. The hot dog had a good snap. It had all the trimmings of a Chicago Style hot dog and all of the trimmings was fresh. I love the fact that they wrap the dogs to stay warmer. The fries on the other hand were underwhelming. They were hot and crispy but lacked a good potato flavor. Overall, the only drawbacks were the fries and cost of the two hot dog special. I think it was one of the most expensive hot dog combos I had this year.

If you're in the Northbrook area, this place has a solid chance at satisfying your hunger. It's one of those carryout spots that gets you in and out faster than you can say "Chili Cheese Dawg," and sometimes, that's exactly what you need. U Dawg U is an order at the counter (or online) and take to go type place in a strip mall. No frills. Just a counter, a soda machine, and a few other people at midday standing by for crave-worthy fast food. Note there is easy parking out front.

I've never been so confused at an eating establishment…read more 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.
