    Italian beef ... so yummm!!!!
    Susana C.

    The neighborhood seems a little sketch and I probably wouldn't feel comfortable coming here at night alone. But I had a nearby meeting to attend and my coworker had never had a Chicago style dog, this place was the closest. It's hidden in a back corner of a strip mall. Not the cleanest place but seeing the number of people walking in and out, we knew we stumbled on good eats. My coworker got his Chicago dog, complete with neon green relish but alas, no poppy seed bun. I opted for an Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers. The Italian beef was thinly sliced, juicy and had so much flavor. The bun they use is crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. Despite me not eating grains, I cheated because the bread that soaked up the au jus from the beef was too much of a temptation. So worth the cheat! Fries were good too. So I'll add this place as an example of not judging a place by its looks. They are turning out a lot of yummy Chicago faves here.

    Polish
    Jose C.

    I came here for lunch and ordered a polish Maxwell style with grilled onions and mustard and a chili cheese dog. It's a tiny place and decided to eat-in instead of take out. The owner is a very humble guy, made my food right away, and you can't tell he takes pride in what he does for his restaurant. As for the food, the polish was cooked perfectly, the grilled onions good of been cooked a tad bit more and just the perfect amount of mustard. I would probably order this again. The chili cheese dog felt it did lack flavor and was off color a bit. It didn't taste like it was made from scratch probably wouldn't order this again. Overall, I would probably come back again. They were very welcoming and nice from beginning to end.

    Gyro. Must have.

    See all

A chocolate cone as a treat, and sometimes a shake. They are always super nice and fast! The food is fresh and made to order. There's lots of seating inside and outside. And, it's always sparkling clean! CharDog-This hotdog is absolutely perfect! I savor every last bite of it. It's a Vienna Beef hotdog. So, it's the real deal. It's not the traditional Chicago dog. So, don't expect that. This hotdog is juicy, smokey, and charred with a bold beef flavor. Loaded with mustard, sports peppers, relish, and onions. On a nice plush bun. I personally get it without onions. And, it's heavenly! Chocolate Cone-If you're in the mood for a creamy, dreamy, and delicious cone. Then, make sure to get this! The chocolate is nutty and bold. I love this tasty treat. It brings me so much joy! I every now and then will treat myself to this family sized cone. And, I happily finish every last lick of this. So, next time you see Rand Red Hots. Make sure to stop here! You won't regret it!

    The epitome of a Chicago hot dog joint. It's got the old school feels and a simple yet tasty menu…read more There is inside seating, but it's best experienced on a warm summers night out on the patio. Tuesday nights are when I try to go because they have a little classic car meetup. French fries and muscle cars are an epic pairing. The dogs , while smaller, still pack a punch with that iconic Vienna Beef flavor. The fries are always hot and fresh. The shakes are pretty bangin' too. Cash only? Worth it. Rand's is definitely a must every summer for our family. Can't say I've ever had a bad time here. Sometimes parking is funky but it doesn't impact our experience. TIP: On Tuesday nights over the summer park on the side street so there's room for the muscle cars. :)

The staff were friendly and responsive. Even though they forgot my fries and almost charged me again. Good thing I busted out my receipt. Tho they prolly would have refunded me if I were double charged. But on to the food review. We got 8 sandwiches I think and 10 Italian ice, 5 lemonade and 5 watermelon. Most of the beef sandos were double dipped. All of them had extra spicy and sweet pickles. Though the pickles were extra charge yet each sandwich came out to be less than $9. Overall it was pretty tasty and I thought the value was pretty good. Granted a hole in the wall ought to be cheaper yet I still felt there was great value here. Now can I make this at home? I suppose. But I prolly wouldn't and prolly would rather come here and just give 'em my money! The Italian ice and beef sandos were a good combo. There were 12 of us and 8 sandos, 10 Italian ice, fries and one large Diet Coke came to about $103. Granted we split the sandos yet it was still a pretty good value and yummy late night junk food hangout spot. Is it better than that other places that serves Chicago dogs? I think so. But you'll just have to come and try it for yourself.

    Gene & Jude's -- Chicago's No-Nonsense Classic…read more (5/5) Some places you plan to visit... and then there are places you stumble into that feel like you've just unlocked a piece of the city's soul. This was one of those moments. Walking up to Gene & Jude's, you already know--this isn't about aesthetics, it's about legacy. No drive-thru. No indoor seating. No fluff. Just a line (usually wrapped around the building) and a reputation that's been earned one hot dog at a time. But today? Timing was on my side. That sweet spot between lunch rush and dinner madness... where the energy is still there, but you don't have to fight for it. Let's talk about the dog. This is not your average Chicago-style situation. This is their own lane. A Vienna beef dog, dressed simply--but then they hit you with the move: a pile of fresh-cut fries inside the bun. Yes... inside. And somehow, it just works. The bun? Soft doesn't even begin to describe it. It practically melts the second it hits your mouth. Everything blends together in a way that feels nostalgic, familiar, and completely addictive. No distractions. No overthinking. Just flavor. And here's your insider rule-- Don't ask for ketchup. Not unless you're ready to get side-eyed into another zip code. You grab your order, head back to your car, and that becomes your dining room. And honestly? That's part of the experience. It forces you to slow down and just be in it. By the time I thought about taking a picture... it was gone. Completely devoured. No regrets. How did we get here? Somewhere between tradition and simplicity--and realizing that sometimes, the most iconic experiences don't try to impress you... they just are.

    Obviously we had to come to Gene's & Jude's…read more Long before we planned our Chicago trip, I can remember seeing a feature about the place on TV. It was a no-brainer. The place is kind of out of the way, but hey, we had a car and some free time, so why not? I, of course, got the Hot Dog w/ Fries ("mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers") and yep it's a superior dog. I'm not sure if the copious fries really added anything to it, but the snap of the wiener and the tasty condiments added up to an extremely enjoyable experience. I can see why Gene's & Jude's is so highly regarded. It's a cool place (and super affordable, too).

Even though we walked, I noticed there was a good amount of parking which is nice.
