It's a small spot with outdoor seating, but it has a laid-back vibe that makes it enjoyable. The hot dogs were delicious, and the cheese curds were rich, buttery, and a perfect side. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving a great hot dog, this place is worth checking out!

I wanted to love this place. I really did…read more The hot dog looked beautiful. The fries smelled promising. Hope was alive. Then tragedy struck. I asked for extra sport peppers... and they never made it into the bag. The peppers that did survive then launched itself onto the ground after my first bite, never to be seen again. A lone pepper remained. A true Chicago casualty. I ordered ahead for pickup at 12:15, and while it was ready on time, I think it had been sitting for a bit because everything was cold by the time I got back. The fries had good flavor but had sadly crossed over into soggy territory. The sauces were tasty (and generously portioned), but paying $1 each bruised my sauce-loving heart just a little. One thing that genuinely surprised me was the seating. The inside is tiny, and almost all of the seating is outdoors. It had me wondering... what exactly happens here in a Chicago January? Do we all just huddle around our hot dogs for warmth? Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, it just didn't live up to the hype for me. Maybe I caught them on an off day, because I can definitely see the potential.

There was a girl in front of me asking for guidance on what to order, since she was coming from out of town, and he helped perfect her order, and I followed suit, with both peppers and wet. So good. Juicy, good portion of meat, and great flavor. Will be back.

A LOCAL CLASSIC! I…read moreloved this spot so much I ended up coming back twice. It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

Both were nice and hot. Fries were crispy and that first snap into the juicy sausage was worth the trip. No seating, so be prepared to eat in your car and get a bit messy. Also be warned the peppers are legitimately spicy, those serranos had my partner sweating. Glad I tried it, but not something I'd eat all the time, great late night drinking kind of food.

It was almost 11pm (they're open until 2am on Fridays.) and there were at least a dozen other vehicles in their drive-in stalls. Ordered their specialties, a Superdawg and Whoopskidawg with Superfries, Chocolate Super Malt and Black Kows. Service was fast and friendly at 11pm on a Friday. We were eating in our rental car in apx 10 min. It was cool to eat outside on a warm July night in a classic, 1950s style drive-in. The food was excellent, flavorful and fresh. I normally avoid krinkle cut fries because they are usually frozen and mushy or mealy. Not Superfries. These fresh cut fries were practically fried mashed potatoes. We loved them! The drinks were perfect. The Black Kows is basically a root beer float and served with an extra root beer "sidecar." Our only complaints were about errors with the garnishes. We specifically said we wanted all the garnishes on both dawgs and they only gave us the standard grilled onions on the Whoopskidawg and forgot the sport peppers on the Superdawg. Otherwise we loved everything. We might go back next week (before we fly home) because I really want to try their Whoopercheesie Burger and maybe a Supersundae.

Every single time we have stopped in, our order has been 100% correct and piping hot. My daughter and I like the single dog and fries with everything - my husband and son like the double dog and fries with everything.

I can't wait for hockey season to start again, I am missing Gene & Jude's.

They give you, the traditional Chicago Dog, which was super spicy and really good. I did come back that next morning because inwanted to video the girls because rhe are funny and rude but real funny with the rudeness!!! They were super slammed with a lot of families with lots of kids, so you really couldn't give or get the full language attention needed for the video experience Inso was hoped for!! Both visits were super cool and exceptional.I recommend if you're new to chicago pick the time stop.In order some ketchup it willl be quite the experience *WINK *WINK* When you walk in, you place your order first and pay second then you wait for them to prepare and bag it unless your eating in.. Conversational extras are expected and will be given back if you dare... The decor is typical outdoor dining and the indoor area is for ordering and takeout!! I wish I could post the shirt video from my first visit but it will probably get pulled... Awesome experience!!!

While the portion sizes aren't the biggest for the price, everything comes out fresh and piping hot. Cheese Curds (4.5/5): Super salty, perfectly light crunch on the outside. An absolute hazard to eat and easily the best thing I had here. Onion Rings (1/5): The batter on the onion rings were ridiculously sweet to the point it almost tasted like funnel cake batter. Not sure if it's normally that texture, but definitely a miss. Devil Dawg (4/5): Bun and toppings are pretty much standard issue down the board, but the actual hot dog is a much nicer quality than at other spots around the city with a good snap. Portillo's is definitely a vibe, but I do prefer the Chicago dog here. Nicely balanced across sodium, tangy, sharpness, and even a bit of spice.

I had read about how Fatso's does the char dog. I made this my last meal in Chicago…read more I went with a char dog, depression style, an order of fries, and a side of the Merkts cheddar. How was it? Fries- Delicious! Fresh cut fries, made right in front of you. They were great! Huge portion, too! Merkts Cheddar Sauce- Hell yeah! Give me a gallon of this, and I will chug it! Such a tasty cheese sauce. Loved dipping my fries in it. Great combo! Char Dog- This dog was delicious! Great char, great toppings. My only beef would be the bun. It definitely could have been more soft/steamed and fresh. It held up pretty well, but there were a couple bites where it broke and flaked apart. Hate when that happens. Still...didn't ruin the overall experience. Had a great last meal in Chicago before I headed to the airport.
