    Damn, these dogs are good! So, I will say I am somebody who had eaten at Milwaukee based Martino's for a long time in my youth, I would say that this totally makes sense that this place would have so much amazing food and basically be like a Martinos on steroids because of course it is, I'm eating the food in the place where it's originating from good ole Chicago!!!!!! The dogs were cooked perfectly, the toppings were vast and you could get a classic Chicago, but they had a lot of variety. The crunchiness of those crispy onions on my hotdog were really good. Splitting the giant bucket of fries with the "good" cheese sauce (if you know you know some cheese sauce can be weird and waxy), simplistic and perfection. When you're ready for some fast but delicious chow, head here. I honestly thought about it a LOT even though I went to a very fancy up scale restaurant during my time visiting Chicago as well.

    I ordered the maxwell st polish, Chicago dog, and tots. No complaints! Sausages were juicy and had the classic snap. Buns were steamed and soft. I love the slow cooked onions. Tots were seasoned, crispy, and fluffy. No issues with service. Decent amount of seating inside and outside.

    Walked here and it was pretty cool inside. They have kiosk you can order and there are a lot of variety of hot dogs or sandwiches and even a vegan option as well. We got the spicy chicken sandwich which was about spicy at all but the Chicago style hot dog was good. Their onion rings were really crispy and comes in a big size. They have cool stuff hanging on the walls and a nice neighborhood to walk around as well.

    My partner and I were visiting Chicago and would've been remiss to not try out the local delicacy of a classic chigagan red hot hotdog. We ended up going with Devil Dawgs since we were staying in Wicker Park, and we loved it so much, we had it twice during our trip! We loved EVERYTHING we tried over the weekend, which included a classic Chicago double dog, a chili cheese dog, a Maxwell Street special (a Polish sausage, like a kielbasa), the Elvis burger (PB bacon hot sauce), and onion rings. All were the perfect late night dinner option! We also tried a hot dog elsewhere and this was still much better. Service was incredibly quick (both with dining in as well as picking up to go) and the wicker Park location had such a fun vibe - with many retro memorabilia items as well as space for dinning in. We will definitely be back next time in Chicago!

    Great location in Wicker Park (next to Taco Bell and adjacent to Supreme), busy intersection but in the middle of all the action. There is not a million styles of burgers toppings to choose but they have the essentials. I got the single with plain jane toppings and a chili dog with no cheese. The entire meal was a tad bit over $10 but the flavors were solid. These burgers are not too wide but stacked with flavors. The interior is rustic but makes you feel like you are in a barn. Parking is metered and residential is all permit. Payment is cashless but plastic is excepted with no service charge added.

    Can't leave Chicago without trying one. We ordered online for pickup. Quick and organized service. I got the Big Chicago Dawg. Beef hot dog with mustard, onion, relish, sport peppers, pickle , tomato and celery salt. Juicy & big hot dog with generous amount of toppings. Delicious and perfect to bring on your flight.

    Amazing dawgs. Must have this. Cheap too. I'll be back again no doubt. I'd recommend the Big Chicago

    Omg I love this location! The staff is great and the food is always piping hot! I got the chilli cheese dog and omg it was great! Would recommend 2-3 dogs if you're really hungry since they're pretty normal in size. The ambiance is so comfortable! Very diner vibes!

    Great spot to get a hot dog. I shared the Chicago dog and taco dog with my partner. The Chicago dog has all the standard toppings: celery salt, mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, sports peppers. Good structure integrity as it stands up on its own.The taco dog was really good too, it's a chili cheese dog with tortilla strips and pico de gallo. There's plenty of seating and water cups are free. Food comes out reasonably fast. The bag of fries was a pretty decent portion for the price.

    While in Chicago I obviously had to try a Chicago style dog so we stopped at Devil Dawgs before heading out of town. I got the Chicago style dog and fries. The price point was average. The fries were good but nothing special. The hotdog was pretty good - I got everything on it but sport peppers due to an allergy. Although the taste is a little different I did enjoy it. There wasn't anything bad about Devil Dawgs but there wasn't anything special. If I came back to Chicago I would probably try a Chicago style dog somewhere else to compare.

    First time In Chicago , Wanted to try Chicago style . The hot dogs was tasty but I felt like I had better hot dogs .

    I stopped in Devil Dawgs for a quick bite while out walking and exploring Wicker Park. I selected the chili cheese dog, and it was very good. Everyone working there was friendly and nice. Great spot for a lunch if you're crunched for time or need to eat on the go.

    If you want a classic Chicago dog, this is the place. Freaking love it would come back again.

I added peppers to the beef sandwich to give it some spice but besides that it was bland! I was disappointed but I thought the Chicago dog would make up for it but the bun was soggy. The best part of my order were the cheese fries and I got a free slice of chocolate cake since it was my birthday month! The chocolate cake was the best chocolate cake I've ever had that wasn't homemade. Very moist and lots of frosting! I would come back for the fries and the cake, but I wouldn't order the beef sandwich or Chicago dog again.

    First time in Chicago so I had to try the national sandwich of Chicago! Al's beef has been serving…read moreup Italian Beef sandwiches since 1938. They have won several awards for their sandwiches and are said to have the best Italian Beef in Chicago. With all this being said, this was certainly a must eat on my trip! Their menu consists of their famous Italian beef, along with Chicago dogs, burgers, sausage sandwiches, chicken, and fries. There is definitely something for everyone here. The inside is casual and reminiscent of a fast food eatery. Really liked the yellow accents throughout the restaurant. I will also note that it was extremely clean inside, which is always appreciated. Ordering is simple and they will call your ticket number when your food is ready. All the food is served made to order and very fresh and doesn't take too long to come out! I ordered the Regular Beef, wet, with both hot and spicy peppers per the workers suggestion. Ordering the sandwich wet simply means the bread is dunked in the gravy/aus jus. If you want the real deal, this is how you order it. The peppers are optional as well, but complete the sandwich. The sandwich consists of their famous Italian beef roasted and sliced, served on freshly baked French bread. I can see why this sandwich is so highly regarded. The Italian beef that is made in house each day is tender, flavorful, and just perfect! It isn't chewy or tough either. The sweet and spicy peppers paired nicely with the savory beef. And the fresh French bread covered in the gravy--phenomenal! The gravy adds a lot of flavor to the sandwich. You do have to eat it quickly, otherwise the bread will fall apart, oh but it is so worth it. I got fries with a side of cheese sauce to go with the sandwich. By far some of the best fries I've had. Not super crispy, but not soggy either, the texture was just right. They were salted perfectly and dipping them in their velvety cheese sauce was a treat! A regular sub is roughly 6 inches and quite filling. The sandwiches are stuffed with ample amounts of beef. The price is also excellent considering how much you get. Overall, I would say Al's Beef lived up to all its praise. My sandwich was very memorable and was like nothing I'd had before. Everything is so fresh, between their beef, bread, and fries, it is all made in house. This isn't just some fast food spot, it is an institution. I was impressed with everything I ordered, especially the fries. They take a lot of pride in what they serve. This is evident in their customer service. If you are visiting Chicago, don't think, just go--you won't regret it!

    (Kari's Rating 6.5/10)…read more Finally made my way out here and it was alright. My go to is normally Portillo's Italian beef, but I wanted to change it up. It's a little stop in place and they have a pretty small seating area, but I went on a day where it wasn't super crowded. Beef was pretty typical, I think I enjoyed the gravy seasoning more on this one over Portillo's, but I did like Portillo's spicy and sweet peppers a little bit better. I don't like my bread, saggy, so I was able to get the dipping gravy on the side. Service is pretty quick as it's just a small sit down place. It wasn't too loud, so you could have a conversation with the person next to you, but I imagine it would be much louder if you went on a Friday or Saturday night. I probably wouldn't stop in again but it's a nice place to go to. If you have people from out of town they don't wanna go to Portillo's.
