    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.

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

    Important Note: With Red Light Chicken, one must manage their expectations. If I'm not wrong, they…read moreuse chicken breasts (white meat) rather than thighs (dark meat). The result is meat that is naturally less tender and moist. I was going to ding them until I realized this; thus, it's not a criticism, just the reality of the cut. Their menu is incredibly simple! There are some options available (e.g., sandwich as plain, hot, honey, honey-hot). They also have fries, nuggets, and cans of soda. This simplicity means they're able to specialize very well and make deliciousness! I ordered a sandwich, honey-hot, with the standard mayo and pickles. The chicken was hot and crisp with a thin layer of scrumptious crust. The meat was cooked well, especially given the nature of chicken breast. The honey wasn't overdone and gave a pleasant sweetness. The heat reminded me of Tabasco sauce; while respectable, and the acidity helped add a new flavor dimension, the heat was minimal for my palate. It would be nice if Red Light offered an extra-hot option. The pickles and mayo were in perfect amounts, and the bread was a fresh brioche. Bonus points for the sando not falling apart on me, as happens with places that stuff massive, lopsided thighs to look pretty on Instagram. The service was lightning quick! I had the sandwich in hand less than a minute after ordering. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and polite also. The value is great! In a world where everything costs an arm and a leg, $8 for a reasonably sized chicken sandwich is more than reasonable. Finally, there is no indoor seating whatsoever. There are, however, ample standing-room tables around, with one having overhead heaters. Thus, while not necessarily a destination, Red Light Chicken is a phenomenal neighborhood chicken shop!

They had a tamale here too and it was ok it was 4 small pieces that were easy to share or had a good corn flavor to it while it was yummy It really reminded me of the ones that you can find on the corner of Rampart & Beverly in LA as the flavor was very similar to me.
