This was our first Chicago dog we've tried and it was quite a delicious option! We tried two and also some onion rings (the latter being not that great in descending order). Considering we later tried Portillos, I'd say I prefer Devil Dawg's Chicago dog more! Food: - Jumbo Chicago Dog: This cost a little more and honestly it wasnt that big of a hot dog. Which is a shame! I'm probably comparing it too much to Costco hot dogs. Anyway, I thought this Chicago dog was quite more flavorful, loved the moist bun, and their pickle is 2x more crunchier than Portillos. I'm a bit more of a fan of their flavor contrasts and overall quality is fresher. Yum! - Icelandic Dog: This was chosen as a recommendation from a friend and I'm kind of meh about the dog. Mainly because the flavors were not distinctly unique nor did it stand out in any way. I'm a fan of crispy shallots--which were plenty--but the remoulade was a bit lacking. Not a bad dog, but not one I'd try again for the sheer choice of variety. Next! - Onion Rings: Alright so no one recommended this, and I dont blame anyone but us for trying them. They were not very crunchy, not very unique, and was NOT a highlight. Very standard. Honestly, not memorable. Should have tried some other options. Pros: - Delicious and unique options. A solid 4 star choice! - Quick service after ordering. - Fun and casual interior. Definitely gives a "part of the neighborhood" vibe. Cons: - Price is a little higher than I'd like. - Not a fan of some of the food options. - Seating is limited. Not a horrible selection but it's far from ample. Thanks Devil Dawg! Glad to have tried your dogs. Was a great intro meal! read more

Great place for Chicago-style hotdogs, burgers, good home style fries and several other items, including a variety of shakes. Around the corner from. Columbia College, they have a few tables in their narrow space and they're open til 10 most nights. They can be pricey ($7+ for a shake?) but good for fast food. read more

And on the 10th day, G-d looked down on his people and said, "I need man to create something in the likeness of his image." So G-d made a Devil Dawg. G-d said, "I need something willing to compete with New York's hot dog. Something subtle, but not overly subtle so non-New Yorkers would enjoy it. So G-d made a Devil Dawg. "I need something with substance and taste. Something that is so meaty that it could revel in most tastes, but with a vegetal balance that it could revel in all tastes." So G-d made a Devil Dawg. G-d said, "I need something willing to sacrifice so much but benefit the needs of many. I need it to be cheap so not to burn a whole in the everyman's wallet, but a high enough price to rationalize that there is no corners cut. People should not feel full from it's faint, but satisfied for the peace of mind it gives them." So G-d made a Devil Dawg. G-d had to have something palatable on the stomach, allow bowel movements to be smooth, clear the intestines of all debris and start again on the next meal with no reprieve. Something that jerks the mind but not the colon, so to expand the tastebuds of all who take that very first bite. So G-d made a Devil Dawg. G-d said, "I need something strong enough to get you through a tough day, but simple enough to hold in your hand. Something that slips through your hand but no loss if it hits the table. Something that you can have three and still want another. Something that is special enough for a kid as young as three and as old as 80. "Something that could hold hands and minds together with the soft strong bonds of charred, steamed, or grilled savoriness, that would be chewed, and then swallowed, and then in quiet repose, with smiling eyes, when the customer says, "Now I would like to have a milkshake with that." So G-d made a Devil Dawg. read more

Be carful, these hotdogs are addicting. We needed to eat one of these on a daily basis while visiting Chicago. If you in the downtown area they are a must try. read more

This was the first place I went after landing in Chicago (also my first time in Chicago!). From the outside, it looks super sketchy. It's a pretty small space inside, with just a couple of tables and a window to order. Service was fast and friendly, and I'd never seen so many options for hot dogs before. I ended up going with the Chicago dog and was so impressed with it! I was a little wary of the relish since it was neon green, but everything tasted so good. I also got some fries and they were perfectly seasoned and cooked. I tried Portillo's later on in my trip and I think I prefer Devil Dawgs! read more

Went to Chicago for the first time. Figured for food we'd try here since it had some kid friendly options for our son. I got the Chicago hotdog, and it was pretty good. I had to take the peppers off because they kept sliding off. My fiance tried the bulldawg. It's got a kick to it, but it tastes really good. This place can get pretty busy, but the service is quick. If you're in Chicago and want to try good hotdogs I definitely would recommend coming here. read more

Can't get much better than a traditional Chicago dog! I was surprised that we were able to get in and out in 20 minutes, even downtown. We may have been there at a slower time, but we ordered right away and got our food in only a few minutes. The taste was fantastic, of course. My husband had two wishes for our Chicago trip, deep dish pizza and Chicago dogs, and he got exactly what he was hoping for! read more

Literally THE BEST shakes and malts on the planet! The Dawgs and burgers are excellent and there are so many options on how to dress them up! I'm a vegetarian and very much appreciate that there is a vegan dawg option so I can enjoy it all too! We're people who like to try new places all the time, but we come here every time we're in Chicago. HIGHLY recommend! read more

I don't like hot dogs, but this place gives you no choice. I'm in Chicago! My friend told me I had to try a hot dog. I looked it up on Yelp and found this place, noticing that they have Southern Slaw Dog. I love coleslaw! But... When we got there, I didn't see it on their menu. And I didn't care because I was already determined to try it specifically. I asked the cashier if they could make Southern Slaw Dog, because it's on Yelp, and he nodded. No problem! My friend took the fries, which were just as good as our hot dogs! I don't usually eat this kind of food because I don't really like it, but this place is definitely worth a stop here. You'll see a mini story inside that will help you soak in the Chicago spirit! read more

My first visit to this place to try my first ever Chicago Hot Dog. The place is a grimy twin of the SNL Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger sketch with Jon Belushi. The food was wonderful. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken. Ordering was done on a kiosk that did not precisely match the menu items listed on the wall. Communication was a bit of an issue but the staff were really quite nice and generous. I'd go back. read more

The hot dogs are flavorful and there are vegan options. It's not a corn dog was an interesting mix of flavors, mexican street corn on a street dog. Let's just say it did not disappoint. After walking from downtown CHI, I allowed myself to indulge in a strawberry Oreo milkshake. Please tell me why I have never thought of adding Oreos in my strawberry milkshakes? This milkshake has made it to my top 5. They have a good selection of 'think outside the box' flavors, if you like the salty sweet complement, aim for the caramel pretzel. If you decide to stop by, grab that milkshake. Quick and efficient service. Seat yourself or grab a bite and drink to go and continue on sightseeing. read more

Straight fire! We tried 5 of their dawgs and they were all great! A must stop when you are in Chicago.

These devilish dawgs will have you on your hands and knees begging for more, daddy! My partner and I went all out with the taco dawg, bacon dawg, Chicago dawg, and chili cheese dawg. They did forget our chicken sandwich, but who cares? It's all about the hot dawgs here anyway! The taco dawg was giving everything, but honestly, they were all a spicy 10/10! Obsessed with the unique vibe--you can't get this ambiance at any chain, babes! And the staff? Absolutely adorable. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Best place in The Loop for hot dogs. Devil Dawgs has a few locations and this is the most happening one. It certainly isn't a surprise because there's a lot going on around here and it's full of commuters and tourists. Even if you don't want hot dogs you can still get something else. There's hamburgers, and they have a few vegan friendly styles. I got a vegan hot dog to go. It was lunch and it was busy, and there was no room to dine inside. The menu is mostly hot dogs unsurprisingly. Many styles to choose from. There's of course Chicago style, and many other kinds that are similar. It also has the choice to replace a hot dog sausage with a vegan one. With who knows what's in a hot dog, why wouldn't you? I had a Dah Big Chicago Dawg. It's about $6.50 for most hot dogs. That's kind of a lot. It at least is big. There's also lots of good toppings. It's the basic Chicago style. This has celery salt, mustard, onions, a pickle, relish, sport peppers, and tomatoes. It seems to be the most popular one here. This is a hot dog done right. Check out this location for a hot dog before going anywhere else. It has a few more locations farther north. The seating is pretty limited so most people get takeout. read more

While visiting from out of town, my hubby and I decided to try Chicago hot dogs on a whim. Despite the busy atmosphere, the staff was kind and our food was served promptly. We ordered the Big Chicago Dawg, Its Not A Corn Dawg, Chicken tenders, and Bucket O Fries, all of which were delicious. We had a great experience and would definitely return in the future. read more

Good. I haven't had many Chicago hot dogs, so this may not be a knowledgeable view. We had a variety of dogs. One was overcooked. Seemed like it had been in the grill too long. The accompaniments were all good. Overall, decent. Solid choice, nothing special. read more

Had to Try the Chicago Dog, and what better place to try it then Devil Dawgs. Strawberry Milkshake : 5/5. Holly smokes sooo good! Best milkshake I had in my life. Big Chicago Dog : 5/5. Meat was juicy and the Chicago dog was not as bag as I thought it be it was very delicious. I just thought the Tomtato and large pickles / pepper combo was a bit odd but it works ! Maxwell Polish : 3/5 Everything was still good, but it was missing something for me. I think the carmalize onions was very sweet so need a freshness quality to it, like pickle or Totmao. O" Tot - 5/5 Something so simple can be so good. Crispy but not greasy with perfect cheesy dipping sauce ! I'd highly recommend coming here. It gets pretty busy though :) read more

Forget about the deep dish Chicago pizza... I was all about the Chicago hotdogs! Seriously. I could've eaten them every. single. day. It was something about the pickles... and I've never really been into pickles until I discovered this year that they were CUCUMBERS?! I don't know how I went all my life not knowing this. We ordered their Chicago dog and dah big Chicago dawg maybe? All I know is that I enjoyed it. My Chicago dog came with mustard, onion, relish, pickle (WOO), tomato, sport peppers, and celery salt. I don't know what it is about Chicago hotdogs, but they hit different. read more

Honestly surprised I haven't come here sooner. I know chicago is known for Chicago dogs, and this the spot to get a tasty one. It's a bit hole-in the-wall, but that's part of the charm. Devil Dawgs has a surprisingly large menu of creative hotdogs, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. They also have vegetarian options (both hotdogs & burgers) & a lot of different sides to choose from. There is seating at this location ( a few tables) but it looked like a lot of their business is takeout. Definitely check this spot out for a great (and inexpensive) meal. And DON'T forget to order the fries with a side of cheese sauce (amazingly nostalgic) read more

I mean dont get me wrong, maybe I'm just biased being from new york but I wanted to try a chicago style hot dog for the first time and maybe i made a mistake of getting a devil dawg as my first experience. The hot dog was just too salty and sour for me and the choice of toppings really threw me off. I know this is is conflicting with what most people say but I think I'm just not a fan of chicago dogs in general. Otherwise, the service was very quick, you can either order from the kiosk or the counter, and you can sit down and eat afterwards. Seems pretty crowded during lunch hours and there is limited seating indoors. read more

The hot dog was good. I enjoyed the taco dog because of the crunchy tortilla chips on top and the salsa like sauce. The Chicago style hot dog had a lot of pickles and was also good but one has to be better than the other. Just my opinion. My girl loved the Chicago style since she really love pickles read more

Lawd have mercy. Fly immediately to Chicago and run don't walk to Devil Dawg!! We came out of being tourists at the Hancock Building and right across the street is the famous Devil Dawg. We ordered Dah Big Chicago Dawg. The dog, mustard, onion, relish (which is turquoise and I don't know why and I don't care cause it's so good) a giant pickle, tomato and little peppers Called sport peppers. It was so good. So many flavors and they all go together! We also got the best onion rings I've had in a while. Cooked to order while you wait. They were simply the best. They have a lot of sauces, but the guy suggested their "Awesome sauce". I think it's just ranch and BBQ sauce. It was awesome. read more

Both the Chicago Dog and It's Not A Corn Dawg were loaded with toppings and offered great value for the price. They definitely satisfied my Chicago dog cravings.

I worked down the street from this Devil Dawgs location, so I have frequented it on many occasions. This location is very consistent with the quality of food that that serve. Their service is always quick and pleasant. The ambience is pretty cool as they have art work and framed newspaper/articles showcasing their rewards and achievements. Now on to the food! The Chicago dog is a real "dragged through the garden" Chicago dog! No ketchup needed!!! The chili dog is good, the coney dog is good, and I imagine the rest of their dogs are equally as delicious. I believe that they are Vienna dogs, but even if their not they have the quality and SNAP that quality hotdogs are supposed to have. Their chicken sandwiches and sliders are also good! They're a little greasy, but good none the less! The price is a little much for basic hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, and burgers; however, the price really isn't bad enough to complain about considering post COVID inflation and that they are located within the loop. If you are pheenin a Chicago dog then I recommend that you try Devil Dawgs out. read more

I'm in town for a weeklong conference. I'm staying at the HI-Chicago Hostel. I'm hungry so I go in search of food. As I walk I come across Devil Dawg. Why Devil Dawg? Besides the food this was a divine appointment. I was supposed to meet a young worker there named Miguel. He told me he was a Christian and what was most interesting was a Tattoo that he had above his right eye. He had the verse reference Psalm 34:4. I was so impressed that I asked him to allow me to take a picture. I had a delicious Chicken Sandwich, bag o fries and Diet Coke. By the way this place is cashless so bring your debit card. Besides the good food and good service, my favorite part was meeting my Eternal Brother, Miguel. read more
