    Chicago dog w/everything & fries
    Natalie N.

    The quintessential Chicago-style hot dog stand. All the basics plus quick & friendly. 2 hot dogs both with fries for $7.75? Fuhgettaboutit!

    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!

    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?!

    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.

    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.

    Bad beef sammy

    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.

    Sloppy Joe at Mickey's original location in Bellwood.

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

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

    It was one of those rare afternoons where the air finally felt alive again after months of brutal…read morewinter winds and endless gray skies. The sun stretched across the pavement like it had personally returned to remind everyone what happiness felt like. The air was crisp, cinematic almost. I had just finished demolishing a bowl at Chipotle when, in the distance, glowing like a beacon of hope to hungry travelers, I spotted the legendary Scooby's sign. Curiosity took over immediately. I wandered into the establishment in search of Scooby snacks. The atmosphere was charming, nostalgic, and wonderfully chaotic in the best way possible. I asked for a paper menu and a few recommendations for the next time I stopped by. Little did I know destiny would return me there in less than 24 hours. The previous night had been a reckless adventure through the city. Loud music, shots, questionable decisions, the usual. The next morning I awoke slightly dehydrated but not hungover because, quite frankly, I am built different. Starving and operating purely on instinct, I prayed Scooby's would be open. Miraculously, it was. As I approached the restaurant, I could hear the passionate echo of a woman enthusiastically yelling into a microphone at what appeared to be a nearby high school graduation ceremony. I stepped inside and was greeted by a smile that honestly made it difficult to remember I came there for food. I asked for a recommendation and was directed toward the gyro meal with jalapeños on the side. What arrived before me was not merely a gyro. It was a colossal, magnificent monument to human achievement. The thing was enormous. Overflowing with flavor, perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, warm pita, and enough character to deserve its own Netflix special. I have eaten gyros from many places, including spots run by Greeks themselves, and somehow this glorious beast stood above them all. The interior of the restaurant felt oddly familiar, almost like a real-life Krusty Krab tucked away in the suburbs. Naturally, I felt spiritually obligated to order what could only be described as a Krabby Patty equivalent. The hamburger arrived beautifully grilled, juicy, smoky, and crafted with the kind of precision reserved for aircraft engineering. Scooby's is not just a restaurant. It is an experience. A beautiful fever dream fueled by hunger, nostalgia, jalapeños, and exceptional customer service.

It's a smaller joint as far as standalone restaurants go, but it had everything you'd expect and want from the local dog house. A wide variety of menu choices and green river on tap? Sign me up! The cheese sticks were good, and got devoured pretty quickly, though that's about as much as I can say there. The fries slapped for sure. They have that fresh cut flavor and styling, and were a beautiful sight to behold. The dog was certainly on the skinny side, but I still enjoyed it for what it was. My buddy liked his polish, and had great compliments for the breaded mushrooms. Our milkshakes were phenomenal also. Honestly a solid lunch outing overall. Will definitely be looking to come back the next time we are around. I don't know if this place is associated with the places called Scoobys, but those are on my list too!
