Fast service and excellent food! The Italian beef was juicy and flavorful. The fires were very crispy and fresh from the fryer. read more

People say one hot dog place is like any other. Mickey's was the exception to the rule, at least as far as I was concerned. I loved their food! Always fresh and made to order. I would go there on my lunch break when I used to work in the area. Even after I started working farther away, I would still take a weekly trip to Mickey's. But I heard today that it's permanently closed, apparently back at the end of this past summer. I'm absolutely crushed. I haven't found a place that makes hot dogs as good as this yet. read more

Mickey's Drive-In - Chicago dog w/everything & fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

I researched on Yelp the nearest place that has Chicago dogs. A lot of places came up but I decided to go with Mickeys. I didn't notice the "drive in" but I parked and went inside. The place were pretty packed inside with people dining in. The service was very quick and I didn't wait long. My hot dog was so delicious just how I like it. I like that they put a hot pepper on it which gave it an extra touch. The bread was good and the fries that came with the hot dog was good. I like that they give the small fries...my favorite! I would definitely return here. Fast service even when busy and the workers were polite. Next time I am in Illinois I will be paying a visit to Mickeys! read more

This is hands down the best priced, great tasting fast food in this corridor. Also I have been to a Mickey's suspect they're the same business, but service fast, friendlier. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend their 2 Vienna hot dog and fry special for under $6. So what on earth are you waiting for?! read more

Mickey's Drive-In - August 2021 - Hot Dogs Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

Great two dog special with fries. Stopped by as it was nearby where I was visiting, and I haven't had a Chicago dog in a while. Plenty of food for $7. Buns were steamed and had all the fixings that were fresh. Teenagers working were polite and hard workers. Definitely would recommend. read more

We took the kids and some guests. The food was great, we all got a variety of hot dogs and fries, the service was great, and to top it off they give you a tiny super cute ice cream cone! read more

My first visit and they didn't know it was National Chili Cheese Day (third Thursday of July) and I feasted on a couple coneys. Unfortunately their chili has beans and they use pump cheese sauce under the chili. I prefer shredded cheese and no beans. Pretty decent fries, not fresh cut, reminiscent of McD's in size. I'd definitely stop back and the 2 dog special is popular and a good value at $7.75, saves you $1.25. Friendly staff always a bonus. read more

Perfect hot dog stand with hand dipped shakes. There's a reason Mickey's has been around forever - they do their job well.

this place must pay off the health inpsector. food is terrible, Im guesisng they re heat food that didnt sell the day before, frys that sit in a "warrming" tray for a few days before use cause they are cold and gross. employees handle money then go right back to making food without washing thier hands, and they dont wear any gloves. order a pizza puff, outside was soggy and the inside was still cold,for sure not cooked properly. why anyone would want to pay for food here is beyond me. read more

I love frequenting this place for lunch. Food is always good, fast, and reasonable. The people working there are friendly.

Mickey's Drive-In is the quintessential Chicago food spot that serves all the delicious bites in a quick and friendly manner. Dine-in or carry out, either way you're in for a treat at Mickey's. Forever on the lookout for a Chicago hot dog, I stumbled upon Mickey's here on Yelp and am very glad I did. It really seems like it has a strong following from the locals in-the-know and I quickly realized why when I arrived. After a short wait in line I was able to place my order and, in approximately one minute, I had my lunch paid for and food in my hand. That's fast! Not only is the staff speedy in preparation but they are friendly and inviting. This is the kind of spot that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time. The menu offers a wide array of eats but I went with the obvious choice: a two hot dog lunch special that comes with fries. I had to add a drink on top of it but still left paying just under nine dollars total - heck of a deal! Chicago hot dogs, does it get any better in the world of encased meat? Mickey's makes a mean one too - all the right fixin's. To top it off, they're fries, while not my favorite - I like the fresh-cut with some skin on them, are very tasty and perfectly cooked. While I could go on and on I'll stop here to encourage you to pop into Mickey's for a meal, you won't regret it. It's a bit of a hike for me for lunch but I can see myself making it many more times in the future, it's that good! read more

This place has the best hot dogs around the area! Their Chicago-Style one is absolutely amazing, and so are their fries! Perfect spot to bring some friends and family. For dates, hangouts, meeting, and other special events. The whole place was nice, clean, and huge. Their tables and chairs are well-organized. All of the staff was attentive and willing to answer all the question from their customers regarding the dishes. Their hot dogs are top-notch and bun is so perfectly steamed that it molds to your fingers when you grip it, the beef has so much flavor, you will always come back and all other dogs taste sub-par after mickeys. Food is fantastic, quick service, and the staff couldn't be nicer. Highly recommend. Prices are great too! read more

We love Mickey's! They have such a good deal with their two hot dog special that comes with fries. I love their fries and the dogs' are good too! I've tried their chicken tenders once which were pretty tasty. Better than Portillo when it comes to hot dogs. The food is always hot too. Definitely give them a try! read more

Local joint that has been here forever and just does it right. Great 'beef stand' that has all the Chicago favorites-Hot Dogs, Italian Beef, meatballs and sausage. Food is great and the prices are better. I like that the person that takes your order also makes it and takes your money. I think this leads to less mistakes and getting what you came in for. Admittedly we don't go here enough as there are other places that are closer, but if you got the craving you can have a great meal and feed the family without breaking the bank. Place is clean, friendly, and efficient. They have tables outside too for enjoying the weather. My only complaint is that they need to bring back the ice cream machine! read more

If you're an antivax idiot or Trumpet you'll love this place ! Apparently Mickey's is a very special place! Too good for masks! All the customers come in with masks but the owner and his entire crew are maskless and no barriers at checkout . Been coming here for years but I won't be back ! They have no respect if others so I've lost all respect for them! read more

Ordered a hot and sweet beef, they forgot the hot pepper, It's very tough beef, went to Portillos... I love Mickey's I've been there a lot but the food quality is gone down drastically. read more

Mickey's Drive-In - Bad beef sammy - Hot Dogs Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

Mickey's is THE hot dog joint in the area! I would consider myself a bit of a hot dog connoisseur and I have got to say that I have tried all the dawgs in the Villa Park area... and keep finding myself back here. Can't go wrong with the classic Vienna beef 2 dog special, however, their other food here is pretty good as well. Mickey's has been in the area for awhile and is a family owned restaurant with fair prices. I have seen plenty of new staff come in and out of here and all of them have been friendly and attentive. I tend to always take my food home to eat, but I have eaten inside a few times and have never had a bad experience. The place is well-maintained and bigger than most other hot dog drive-ins I have been to. If the weather is nice, they have a few tables to sit at outside. The one and ONLY negative thing I have to say about this place is that, in my opinion, the fries are not my favorite. I'll happily eat them all with my meal, however, I am more of a fresh-cut fry kinda girl and their fries are comparable to McDonald's. Anyhow, if you're looking for a quick, greasy bite - check out this place for sure! I have visited their other location in Bellwood as well and it is consistent with the Villa Park location, just smaller. read more

Stopped by Mickey's today for a quickie meal and was not disappointed. I know they're famous for their beefs and dogs (Vienna Beef Hall of Fame inductee), but today I gotta major jones for their Sloppy Joes. Yeah, I know you don't see old fashioned grub like this at very many fast food establishments these days. For a decent Sloppy Joe you will either have to make it yourself or visit a more traditional old school diner. At Mickeys the sandwich is ample, tasty and *very* satisfying. I ordered the "Sloppy Joe Double, Fries, Medium Drink" combo ($8.40) and shared it with a friend. Note: a "Double" means two sandwiches in this particular combo meal. So yes, it's still possible for two people to indulge in *excellent* junk food for less than 5 bucks each and not have to download a burger chain app. I'm happy and muh belly is full-up till dinnertime! I have to mention Mickey's is over 60 years in business and run by the same Italian family into the fourth generation now. Needless to say, this genuine mom 'n pop shop excels at every level of food service in this category. Walk in, you're greeted with friendly service, a smile and the unmistakable aroma of Vienna Beef hot dogs wafting aloft. What could be better? No seating here; only stand-up counters. Absolutely no complaints about that. You're gonna be in 'n out quick anyway if you're dining in as I did today. One thing I miss... the old payphone they used to have near the entrance. Gone, but not forgotten (ha). Go there and enjoy! 5 stars. read more

Mickey's Drive-In - Sloppy Joe at Mickey's original location in Bellwood. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

Mickey's is a great, old school Chicago spot. Their hot dogs are as good as anything else out there. The fries they use go perfectly with the dog. They have a solid menu and just about everything there is really good. I like the service there. They make your food right there and you can see the hot dogs being put together right in front of you. Mickey's has been there for over 40 years and they have it nailed. When you need good, fast food and want a great hot dog too, go to Mickey's. Forget the big chain fast food places, they are garbage. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood about a year ago and I find myself at this great place too often. I recommend everything on the menu! But my favorite are the burgers so delicious. The staff is awesome and very attentive. read more

Service is quick! This was my first time at this place and not my last. It was also my first time trying a Chicago style hot dog and this place did NOT disappoint. Thank you so much for a great lunch. read more

The pricing is beyond adequate, quality of food is superb. I don't even THINK about stopping at Portillo's when Im in Villa Park. Mickey's is superior. read more

Mickey's Drive-in is such a great find! This place has a comfortable ambiance and surprising offers. The whole place is big and everything was fine. Their seating is plenty, they have indoor seating which is nice and comfy, and their outdoor seating is the one I liked. They have umbrellas and a round table. Very huge place. They also have a parking lot right at the front of the place. Customers can easily park their cars. Their location is very accessible and they are also near other well-known spots. Mickey's Drive-in is a must! Especially to those who live near the area and to those planning to visit Chicago. This place never disappoints. I would definitely go back here again next time. Thank you for your awesome service and experience! read more

Stopped in yesterday afternoon for dinner after a show and the crew at Mickey's knocked it out of the park again. My wife and I have been eating here (or taking out) for nearly four years and never once, NEVER, have we been disappointed. In fact, we can say unequivocally, Mickey's makes the best hamburger we've ever had. Whether by decision, or accident, whenever we're near Mickey's we stop in for a bite. They are just that good. read more

Mickeys just makes my mouth water absolutely delicious this place should be in the Smithsonian I would hope they get a booth or stand at the World famous taste of Melrose Park Illinois around 25 th avenue & Lake street very historical & delicious lots of entertaining lots of Education and culture Great town proudl I. ok Ok. Ok citezenry read more

I have no idea why I havent done a review yet lol. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I've never been disappointed once. I always get the hotdogs special with cheese sauce on the side. I've tried other things before like the pizza puff and burger and those are delicious as well. The staff are always friendly and it family owned as well. I will always be coming here. They beat any hotdogs place in my book. read more

I went to this place two times and all I have to say is that this place is better than Portillos. The food was really amazing and the service was good. Also, the style looked amazing. It looks like a old hot dog restaurant back in Elmwood. read more

The Dog Special was fantastic. The bun and hot dog it's self was amazing. But the fries were a whole other story . They served us pretty quick and greeted and thanks us. I would really recommend! read more

Great burger or hot dogs. Really nice attentive staff. My husband says it's the best Italian beef he's ever had.

Food is decent. Fry's are not fresh to order, even thou it's slow. Only reason I'm giving such a low number is because of how the tall balled manager wanted to yell at a guest for taking candy. His words, they are for the kids. Kinda disrespectful when first there was no sign stating that. 2 the guy was just excited to have a piece and he embarrassed him in public. Thanks balled dude, never coming back after this. Watch nothing will be done. read more

I made a return visit to Mickey's and figured now is as good of a time as any to do a review update. Mickey's makes a first class quality Chicago style Hot Dog. They have a two hot dog special for $4.30 you get two hot dogs each with fries. The hot dogs you get have a soft but not mushy poppy seed bun, a well steamed dog and just the right amount of mustard, relish and onions. The optional sport peppers aren't too hot and compliment the dog nicely, the pickle they use is cut nice and thin and is long enough so you get pickle in every bite. As mentioned these come wrapped in french fries, these are thin but relatively low on grease and not too salty fries. The fries have a crisp outside but a nice potato paste inside, these fit very well with the hot dog they serve. The only real thing to note about Mickey's is that they have somewhat limited hours, they're open Monday-Saturday until 8:30, they're not open Sundays. In both of my recent visits the food has been outstanding. I highly recommend it. read more

Mickey's Drive-In - Hot Dogs Near Me - Villa Park, Illinois

2 hotdog special ($4.30, comes with fries) - 5 stars. Comes individually wrapped with their own fistful of fries. Fries are like McDonald's, except more crispy with very few soggy ones. The sausage used is a bit skinnier than Portillo's. Light spread of mustard and relish applied on the inside of the bun. Cheaper than Portillo's, which costs $2.85 each w/o fries at the St. Charles location. Italian beef ($4.65, peppers $0.40) - 4.25 stars. Their beef is more thickly cut than Johnnie's ($4.15, peppers $0.35), would get again. Service has been consistently fast & efficient. I've seen the owner a few times working during the lunchcrunch. Highly recommend if you're in the area nursing a chi hotdog craving. read more
