Had the Chi dog dragged thru the garden with tater tots and a choco shake to go. Lots of other permutations on a bun on the menu, and hot 'talian beef too. Kind of funky sandwich space downstairs from a couple of drinking spaces. Walls decorated with outsider art subject hot dogs. Friendly service. Pretty quick too. read more

Quality Chicago Dog!! I brought my best friend who was visiting out of town and was able to try a couple of items. It was also very cool for the employee to share why a Chicago Dog should not have ketchup on it. The tots were a little oily but crunchy and tasty. The fries were great, not too salty, and hot (which is very important to me)! The hot dogs were of quality ingredients including the original vienna and the spicy polish. The pickle had a great crunch, the sport peppers gave just enough heat, and the tomatoes were fresh! Also, I'm a ranch fanatic and their ranch hit the spot with the fries. Definitely the place to take out-of-towners that want to support local businesses rather than a chain while have a real quality chicago dog. read more

I didn't know what to think of Flub A Dub Chubs at first. I mean I just spent $32 on 5 hot dogs. I told myself these mo fos have to taste great to justify this price. They all came with fries so you were at least guaranteed to get full, but at the end the day, that's a hell of a lot of fries. Their service was great. Very welcoming and very kind. They even offered us a cup of water while we waited. They took their sweet as time making our food and it was worth it. They paid attention to detail, even the wrapping of the food to ensure that it would make it our house warm and with no issues. We ordered their Chicago style hot dogs and two Jimmy chili cheese dogs. Chili cheese dogs are always messy, and this dog was no different. The wiener had a nice snap and was coated in chili and cheese. It was perfect and very filling. The chili was meaty and they give you a lot of it. The Chicago dog or their "Flubby" was near perfect. It came with your usually fixings. Tomatl wedges, pickle, sport peppers and Chicago neon green relish and a cucumber. Most after unwrapping don't look like this, but they wrapped it so perfect that nothing got messed up which made it easy to eat. The only thing that I was missing was a poppy seed bun. The fries were seasoned perfectly and tasted great. I was very impressed with Flub a Dub Chubs. The dogs were tasty, pricey but tasty, and most importantly the crew here knows how to treat a customer. Will definitely be back. read more

AMAZING customer service the cashier was sweet!! Loved the food it was great! Very cozy place!

I've been here now at least twice, and I think it's fair to say that this place is my "go-to" for a classic Chicago dog... and not even that, they have many options to choose from as well for dogs. It's the best Chicago dog I've ever had and nothing disappoints here. Even their tater tots are freakin bomb. I've taken friends and family visiting to this place and they've always had very high remarks. Glad to have a staple like this in the area! read more

If you're looking for a classic Chicago hot dog, look no further. This place is hidden away with a not-so-obvious entry, but definitely worth it. It's a small seating area, but there were quite a few people eating at the restaurant. I loved the decor, there were a ton of hotdog sketches and hilarious artwork on the wall. I was cracking up while we waited for our food. The fries were HOT and the way they seasoned them was delicious. The hotdogs were wonderful and so totally worth it. We got two Chicago style dogs. They have a ton of fun variations on it too, and I would like to go back and try more. Any friends I have in from out of town I will be bringing here for a true Chicago dog experience!! read more

Best hot dog and service these guys love their customers. Chicago dog beat in town! Great read more

Service was terrible. The girl screwed up my order and when I went back she purposely put my order at the end of the line. Waited 30 minutes for one hot dog and tots for the second order. read more

I've had food from here 3x, and every time the food was amazing. The service was good, no issues with my order at all. They bring the food right to your table which is awesome. It's a fairly small basement like restaurant, so I would go there with a group larger than 4. The walls are covered in artwork that previous customers have added to the mix. Finding parking might be an issue so don't be surprised if it takes a while to find something. Overall, definitely worth the money... read more

The hot dogs here are fantastic! Perfect ratio of dog to toppings. Can't beat the $6 Chicago dog and fry Tuesday. However, I ordered a side of cheese sauce & it was not in my bag. Lesson learned--always check your carryout bag. read more

Great Chicago dogs, tater tots and milkshakes. Love this place!!! Highly recommended!!!

This is just what we needed on our trip back home. Hotdogs were awesome, service was great. Everything you'd expect from a Chicago hot dog place. Oh, and if I'm paying for something, I'll do whatever I want to it. Gotta have ketchup on my dogs!! read more

Flub A Dub Chub's - Waiting on our dogs.. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was looking for a place for a good hot dog. Google search lead me to this place. I decided to take a chance on it. And I'm glad I did. Thank goodness for the sign harking me to the entrance, because it's a little hidden. After going downstairs, I was greeted with what seem to be hundreds of drawings of hot dogs. I was looking at the pictures when I heard a voice asking me would I like to draw a picture. I can't draw a stick figure so I declined. I went up to the register to order the $5 special, (got a free drink for checking in on Yelp) and I asked for the tots. The hot dog was delicious, great beefy flavor and the dog was slightly fatter than most places. The toppings were super fresh and I loved the addition of a cucumber slice along with the pickle. Darn good!! And the tots were crispy, hot and fluffy. Almost a buttery flavor. I left happy and truly satisfied, I can't wait to go back. read more

This felt like a New York hole in the wall....it absolutely delivered. The fries....get ready!!!

Pleasantly surprised! First time eating here and got a l/2 lb burger with fresh ingredients. Best burger I've had in the city so far.

If this is what an authentic chicago hotdog is like, i'm sold. The restaurant has a very cool atmosphere and you become aware of it as soon as you enter through the doors. The framed drawings of hot dogs all over the walls show that Dub Chub's is beloved by locals and has been so for decades. This place has a really nice, historic charm behind it and I wouldn't be surprised if the cooks knew many of their customers by first name. All that being said though, I do wish the hot dogs were a little big bigger considering the price. Other than that, I loved this place and will certainly miss it once I leave Chicago read more

Such a unique neighborhood staple. Rosemary the owner is so amazing. Food is as expected and ambiance is hot dog standie.

Flub A Dub Chub's is the (literal) underground hotdog place I bring all my friends and family for their first authentic Chicago hotdog experience. The hotdog names are fun--a Flubby is a regular dog, a Chubby is a bigger dog, and a Willie is their vegetarian/vegan dog! They don't skimp on the toppings no matter which option you choose, and the fries or tots are always super crispy and delicious--never soggy. To top it off, the prices are great and the staff is always super friendly, fast, and happy to be there. Right now, they have limited indoor seating, but it's also warm enough for their sidewalk patio! If you're in the area and looking for a Chicago dog, hit up Flub A Dub Chub's. I've had both the regular and vegan dogs over the years and they never disappoint. read more

Flub A Dub Chub's - The Willie ( vegetarian ) (and vegan!) - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I got a cheeseburger and tater tots. I chose the pretzel roll. Lots of options (for cheese, type of roll, size of burger, etc.) which was nice. The burger was a bit salty, but good. Tater tots were ok. Plenty of them. Super casual atmosphere (overall it could look a little cleaner I'd say) but I would return. read more

This place is chill the food is good. I've had both regular and vegan hotdog before and thought it was really good. Staff is nice too

If this was an exam, they Flubbed it. Sorry. Flub a dub - so friendly but expensive. Sounds kinky. Tastes manky. Amazing decor and really lovely service from the gay guy who was really sweet to me - and I think he had a crush on me. (Tosses hair) The dog was not on a poppy seed roll and was kind of dry and unimpressive. Like, badly so. The tater tots were boring - but it's nice that they had them as an alternative option. Still, they tasted like they were straight from the freezer, lol. Yawn. Agreeing to the tater tots instead of the fries made the wait time kind of long and I wish I ordered the french fries instead - although judging by the standard of the other items I wouldn't have liked them. It deserves less than 3 stars because not only was it one of the less impressive Chicago dogs I've ever had (and worst 5 in Chicago, and I've tried 100 or so), but it was one of the most expensive too (like 1-3 dollars more than every other version I've had in town). However, the wonderful service means 3 stars it is. And if you disagree with this review, I don't give a Flub. It blows, even worse than your last Blow Chub. read more

Great hot dog joint! Great place to get a Chicago dog and fries. Friendly service. So glad you are in my neighborhood!

Cute place. Easy to miss walking past. Ground floor joint. Awesome veggie dog. My diet isn't completely vegetarian but primarily, so I always look for options where possible. Their prep and Chicago-style toppings make it excellent and flavorful. Totally recommend. read more

Came here on a whim randomly since I was nearby. I've always passed by it but never actually went in. I got the two dog special and one was the coney and the other was the Chicago dog. I was able to upgrade based on the difference which is cool. The Chicago dog was normal, but the coney dog was unbelievable. The chili is house made and tastes so amazing! They even char the hotdogs so it tastes a bit more smokey. The tots were extra crispy which was also a plus. The lady behind the counter was sweet, I think she was the owner and works during the day. She brings out the food for you and makes small talk. I'll be back for more coney dogs, it was probably one of the best hot dogs I've had. read more

Really solid food. The vegan options were huge hits with our non meat eaters. I enjoyed a Chicago beef and it was pretty good, for it not being their thing. The owner was super friendly and was so short staffed on our second visit but she was still running food as fast as it came up. Give them a try! read more

Great , friendly service and both my sausage and tater tots were amazing ! I would definitely recommend!

Great chicago dog had everything but the poppyseeds and considering it was late in the afternoon on the 4th of July, I guess everyone else was ordering the same. Fries are okay, real potatoes with skins but I am a stickler and so would just rate them 6 or 7/10 read more

Our family is a big fan of Flub a Dub! And it is a love that last for years. It is true that I didn't stopped by in a long time, but they did. Tonight we invited our friend to try this burger. She is a huge fan of good bbq but very picky. I always bragged how she will love those flavors and guess what Her mind was blown away She said that she will bring some other friends bc this is amazing.. and it is true. Small hole in a wall place ( one of my things why I love this place ) always good fresh food. I love that they are constant. We have been to few places and we loved some food and eventually came back for more and they changed cooker or whatever.. I hate that.. but that can not happen to Flub. He is simply the best. Fresh good burger. read more

Love their dogs! If you're sharing for two people, definitely consider the 2 dog special thing that's $10. I didn't notice it one of the times I went and made a grievous, not very cost effective error. Seating on the sidewalk when it's nice out is pleasant! Interior is otherwise covered in hot dog fan art & the establishment is down some steps. read more

Flub A Dub Chub's is a classic Chicago hot dog spot! I have walked past the restaurant for years and never stopped in until recently. Flub A Dub Chub's is a classic Chicago hot dog joint. It reminds me vaguely of the days of walking into a hot spot on Maxwell street in the days of Chicago past. The restaurant is underground so expect to miss the front door if you are walking too fast. You have to walk down a small set of stairs to enter the front door and the inside is a little cramped. I believe the inside was built like this intentionally, it is small enough a suit a few small groups of people a lucky group of 4 or more if it is a slow day in the restaurant. You are meant to eat your hot-dog or polish with the quickness that we would eat a slice of New York pizza. The prices are much more expensive than I have seen at most hot-dog spots. I deem it as a little over priced but the food quality made up for my initial concerns. I would expect to easily spend $20 for a party of two especially if you expect to get fries and a drink to top off the delicious hot-dog. I am obsessed with a good polish so I followed my heart and do not regret my decision! The food came out quickly and pipping hot. It was absolutely the best polish that I have had in a long time. I tried a bite of the hot-dog and they make sure to use the best of the best hot-dog. My favorite part of my time at Flub A Dub Chub's is their Wall of Shame. It is not really a wall but more like a TV monitor that shows a slideshow of people using ketchup on their hot-dog. It is what made me fall for this place even more. The photos showed people posing with the ketchup looking like they were having a blast and they were being good sports! read more

Flubs is definitely where the best hot dogs are in Lakeview. Though slightly hidden, I can't get enough of their pull pork hot dog. Paired with the tatter tots, there's just no comparison. The staff is super friendly, the manger/owner always makes great conversation, and it's a pretty affordable meal for how much food you get. You don't have to be in baseball season to eat ball park food. Flubs hits a home run year round with their food. read more

Flub A Dub Chub's - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place was my very first Chicago hotdog before moving to Chicago and it will forever be my #1. Here's what I love: - it's a local spot - it's super fresh - I used to get the Chubby, but I recently got the Durkalski (polish) which is prob going to be my new go-to - i always get fries as the free side bc THEYRE THE BEST FRIES. You'd think they'd skimp on the fry quality because you're coming here for the dogs, but the fries are really really great - it has tons of customer drawn hot dog art work that will keep you laughing as you wait... because you will wait, and to be honest I think they're a little slow, but also to be honest it is worth the wait. read more
