    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.

    One of my favorite places to grab hot dogs while I'm in Chicago! Hot dogs are always perfect and loaded with toppings! The Chicago Dog is a classic with fresh ingredients. The Icelandic Dawg is a nice alternative since I love the crispy shallots paired with the honey mustard sauce. Service was quick and friendly. Lots of seating at this location.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Ordering is straight forward with lots of customizations. Picking up your food is a bit hectic as there is a main pick up counter and a separate area for pick up if they are swamped. It'll be announced on the speakers. Took close to an hour for our order to be called, customers crowd the pick up counter even though they just ordered so be prepared to squeeze past people to get your food. Tables are also taken up by customers waiting for their group to grab their food. Seating is on both levels and outside so it's somewhat plentiful but expect some issues if you go at a peak time. As for the food we got the Italian beef, Chicago hotdog, fries, chocolate cake, and the cake shake. The Italian beef is amazing! Would recommend getting that along with extra peppers! The peppers really bring it all together. The Chicago dog was alright, it is good, fresh, and different from your normal hotdog. Fries were fries, they accommodated the meal well but wasn't anything outstanding. Our uber driver recommended the chocolate cake and the shake. I would say the cake is just average, it was a little under 'moist' status and the fudge icing is a little too sweet but maybe that's just how you would picture chocolate cake. The cake shake is the better version of it, mixed with their chocolate shake it felt nicer to suck it up through a straw. If you sign up for their rewards you'll get the cake for $1 Overall not a bad experience, they are opening a new location by the river in downtown so that might help with wait times. Highly recommend that Italian beef!!

How was it? Fries- Delicious! Fresh cut fries, made right in front of you. They were great! Huge portion, too! Merkts Cheddar Sauce- Hell yeah! Give me a gallon of this, and I will chug it! Such a tasty cheese sauce. Loved dipping my fries in it. Great combo! Char Dog- This dog was delicious! Great char, great toppings. My only beef would be the bun. It definitely could have been more soft/steamed and fresh. It held up pretty well, but there were a couple bites where it broke and flaked apart. Hate when that happens.

The burgers are the shining stars -- juicy, generously sized, and cooked to perfection with toppings that strike the perfect balance of classic and creative. Whether you go for a stacked cheeseburger, bacon-loaded option, or a specialty creation, the patties are flavorful and satisfyingly beefy, with a great char and use of quality ingredients that keeps diners coming back. Beyond burgers, the menu also features hearty eats like crispy fries, loaded sandwiches, and thick milkshakes, all served with a no-frills attitude that lets the food speak for itself. Service at Fatso's Last Stand matches the laid-back but attentive vibe of the restaurant -- staff are friendly, efficient, and know regulars by name, creating a welcoming, neighborhood-favorite energy. While the pace can get lively during peak hours, especially on weekends, the team handles the rush with good humor and keeps orders moving.
