We came here for lunch a few days ago unplanned after doing some work Resolution. I'm glad we did!! We had a few dogs and I tried their gravy bucket which was amazing. Yes it was 90 degrees the other day but whatever, it was fire. Chili and Tamale in a cup. Super. The dogs were tasty and the fries were crispy. The staff were friendly and the seating has a few booths. My big hang up was parking. It was limited on a Wednesday afternoon at 1p. I can't wait to come back. read more

Odge's - Hot Dawg!! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Well Yelpers I've been wanting to try this burger spot for a minute. While out on a Saturday bike ride me & the Mrs. Stopped by. It's a no frills place basic aesthetic place to have some burgers, fries, hot dogs and they also have tacos & some desserts. But we were there for the burgers! They had a Biscoff banana pudding that sounds delicious but I was too full to try it. They have some cool vintage lunch boxes & Jack 'n' Boxes on display along with some other antique stuff. I ordered a double cheeseburger with mustard, ketchup, tomato & grilled onions w/ fries and a large fountain Coke. The wifey had a cheeseburger with mustard, lettuce, tomato, raw onion w/ fries. Totaled $25.60 not a bad price. The burgers were a nice size and pretty tasty. Just like I like a burger. With a little grease not to sloppy and easy to eat. They're smash burger style (thin patties) very beefy tasting. The only draw back for me & the Mrs is that the onions are chopped onions. Not particularly good for a burger but that was nothing to complain about. The fries were basic fries nothing special but they were good, hot, crispy outside soft inside. I'll definitely return and I'll definitely recommend them. They have a daily special of buy 4 cheeseburgers get one free & buy 4 hot dogs get one free. Cool deal! The double cheeseburger & Cheeseburger w/ fries I'll give them a solid 8.5/10 The service was very nice. The gentleman was very friendly. They have the option of can, bottled or fountain drinks. Solid 9/10 for the service and food! Actually it's more like 4 1/2 stars Remember people ALL reviews are subjective. read more

Odge's - Cheeseburger/ double cheeseburger both with fries..... I had to add ketchup to my fries.... - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Looks to have been here a while with vintage tin and Chicago fast food classics on offer. However, the culture is updating as they have shifted from sport peppers to jalapenos. Noooo! It's not what I grew up with. I am sure the new generation likes this just fine, but is no for me. Anyway, the counter man is friendly and I ordered s Polish sausage with onions and mustard instead. It comes with a helping of fries, which is nice. The space is dark and cozy, and the air conditioning is kept at a comfortable temperature read more

Really bright building with colorful outside and a welcoming inside!! I loved the vibes inside and the service! All of the sandwiches come with fries which was a plus! Overall a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a full bottled soda ran me $14 which I think is a great deal ! The burger had a great flavor and they're all made fresh! Will come back read more

This is a no frills burger place and if you are a burger buff it's a must hit. The best part is they have a 15 minute parking area right in front so that's awesome. Ran inside before the closing time of 5 pm, very early. Got a double which comes with fries and out to my 15 minute parking zone. Burger was super fresh, basic but done just right, generous portion of fries were hot and tasty. Again, if you a no frills burger person like me and love places like Red Hot Ranch, this is your spot!! read more

Old school style diner type place with a short menu of burgers and hot dogs that definitely maintains the era it was founded in. But appearances aside, the food doesn't disappoint. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 8/10 This is a hit or miss depending on who you are, but it definitely looks like it was made in the 70s and never changed since then. Not nice or fancy, but it has a vibe and you know what? I like it. SERVICE: 7/10 No frills or flair, but the workers are regulars and you get to know them. Service is quick and to the point. FOOD: 9/10 Burger and Fries - 9/10 - Burger is a solid burger. For the price, I would even say it is simply unmatched. The fries are okay, not my favorite, but they do the job. Overall, a solid burger joint. VALUE: 10/10 Prices are the best bang for your buck. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 9/10 TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Eat! OVERALL: 9/10 read more

Great lunch spot, classic Chicago style food with a fun retro vibe. They have great hot dogs and tamales that all come with crispy fries. We also got their Banana pudding which was delicious! One of our favorite items was the tamale tub. 10/10 recommend for a quick, tasty and affordable lunch! read more

Absolutely awful. They really hate their customers. They have a credit card terminal that accepts tap to pay, but randomly the guy decides to say you can't use a phone, you must have cash or card. The food is not worth the hassle of this place. read more

The place has won my heart. Old school hot dog/ burger joint with very very very tasty food. It opened in the 70s and is still going strong. Usually the same guy is working there everytime I go, really nice dude. Best part is everything comes with fries and it's affordable. Cheeseburger and fries is $8! Entering this place feels like taking a Time Machine to the old days. Very good, very authentic, highly recommend. read more

Delicious burgers and chili. Been a staple in the neighborhood for years! My mom and I would stop there for chili! Recently Ive enjoyed the biscoff banana pudding. It's delicious. read more

For an Italian Beef and a soda fifteen bucks felt a touch steep, but it came with a healthy portion of fries so in the end I was happy. The restaurant atmosphere itself feels like a refreshing step back in time, and not in a gimmicky way. Like it's been there for lifetimes. There were only two men working behind the counter. That said the service was still very efficient. If you're in the neighborhood and craving some diner classics I'd recommend stopping by. read more

5 star hands down burgers are real burgers not patties customer service is good its an old fashioned gem

goated sausages. snap really well, tasty seasoning. i also love the fries and fish sandwhich. cheap too!

Was about to order a beef but went with a burger instead. It was a really good burger! The french fries were decent too. It is nowhere near me, but if I was back in that neighborhood I would not hesitate to stop in again. Parking can be a challenge. I found myself parking a few blocks away. read more

If I can give it 10 stars I would! Been coming here for the past ten years with my buddies and it's always an amazing experience. Incredible customer service and incredible food you'll enjoy every minute of it! read more

Best Burger in the neighborhood! Recently tried the steak sandwich which was also great. They now have evening hours too!

I really wanted to try this place. But twice now, i've shown up to find them closed more than two hours before their posted closing time. It's a shame, because their stuff looks really good. Fool me twice, though. read more

I think best burger and fries, nothing fancy, not a huge menu, but you can def get your burger and hot dog fix here. They now are taking cards, which is GREAT read more

Hole in the wall joint founded in 1972 back when this was mainly an industrial area. Walking in.. you have to walk out the door to change your mind... small open kitchen ordering area with adjacent dining area with some booths and old pictures of Chicago! Straight to the point menu with Hot Dogs, Burgers, Italian Beef, etc. The star of the show here is the Double Cheeseburger, trust me when I tell you this is one of the best in the city! Two griddled Slagel Farms 25 day dry aged patties with lettuce, tomato, homemade pickles, grilled onions, ketchup, mustard with great american cheese on a homeymade bun; served with fries. Served piping hot... let it sit for a minute so the cheese melts all over everything.. I KNOW. Prices a bit above average but you're paying for high quality! Must stop joint/ talk later read more

Stopped by here for a true Chicago-style hot dog and it didn't disappoint at all. Prices were more than fair. It had that old-school vibe to it, even the bathroom looked lost in the 90s or 80s or before. Excellent. read more

For a mere $2.95 you get a dog with "everything" (onions, peppers, relish, mustard, and a pickle) and fries. With a Coke my meal still under $6, not bad in a recession. The dog was tasty, though the bun was of the dough-y super soft variety. Maybe you're into that, but I prefer a more hearty bread. The small seating area was quaint with some antiques for decor. Definitely seems like this place has been around for a long time. No real complaints. read more

Odge's - Cheeseburger and fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This was my first time ordering to this place. I will buy some burgers to take out to eat while I'm driving since I haven't eaten lunch. After I ordered a burger it came really quick. The staff are efficient and have a quick skill in making orders. They are professional and know what they are doing. They do a good job. When I open my burger in my car it looks presentable and not messy compared to the burger that I ate last week. They have a little amount of sauce inside that can be one of the reasons why it's not getting messy when I open it. It's a little bit oily but when I bite it it is so good. The meat was juicy and flavorful. read more

We've been going there for years. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. The old timey signs on the wall give it a great feel. I recommend the Steak Sandwich and Double Cheeseburger. The fries are the best I've ever had. They pair well with the Tamale Tub (Tamale in Chili with Cheese). Enjoy! read more

By far the best burger in town this place is currently making me fat because I go there every day

Don't bring those friends of yours that will look too closely at a divey hellhole like Odge's...bring your longtime local friends that love a good dog, fast service and a great value proposition. I stopped by yesterday for lunch and got the chili dog, fries and a soda for $7 and left very happy (mainly with the chili, bun on that dog and the fries...the dog itself was average). My sense is that the burgers are the way to go here, but Odge's Old Fashioned Hot Dogs is the name, so I had to know about those dogs first. I drove by this place for years and probably got spooked by the look of the place from the outside, but that's a mistake. Chicago does this category better than any other US city and Odge's just adds to that list! read more

It's hard for me to review this place objectively. I used to live on Damen & Huron, just a few steps away and I used to go there all the time. Had cheeseburgers, hotdogs, beefs, most of their menu. Since you're right at the counter when you order you can always request it how you want it, easy and done. Believe me, none of it's good for you though... greasy and fatty; if you live nearby beware of going too much because of speed and convenience. So here's my "beef"... I was a regular there for nearly two years. I knew the workers and they knew me. One day I ran up about 30 minutes before closing. The door's locked, I knock and see Odge inside. I open my hands wondering what the deal was, and he hand gestured "we're closed" (even though they should have still been open) yet I see two cops sitting inside and stuffing their faces with food. I lost respect for that place and never went back. That's not how you treat a loyal customer. read more

The mural on the outside of the building says a lot - looks like a carnival ride for your stomach - the main reason I came in. Once I walked inside I saw sights that I never would have imagined. Vintage toys, an old 1950s coke machine, a metal lunchbox and thermos like the one I took to school in 1st grade! and a PHONE BOOTH. They've got a definite style at Odge's...I just can't seem to pinpoint it. Some quick facts about Odge's - No bills over $20 - Buy 4 Cheeseburgers or hot dogs, get one free - Cakes and pies available in the cooler by the front counter - Ice cream and pudding cups also available - All treats look home made - I did not get confirmation on this. - Real stand up guys working behind the counter - All orders MUST come with fries.....I'm still theorizing the reasoning behind this rule. I had a 1/2 pound burger (with fries....hella fries) and added bacon for like 0.50 - it's so worth all future cardiovascular issues. Juicy burger, fresh tomato and lettuce, crisp bacon. Just all around Gangsta. -1 star for "Cash only", ugh, unacceptable. -1 star for keeping the most bizarre hours of any place I've ever been to. Close during dinner time? Closed on a Saturday? I don't get it. If you have a chance to visit and can work around their random hours, you'll enjoy it. Check out the pictures too! read more

This small, family-run place offers your basic fast-food lunch. Hot dogs, Polish sausages, cheeseburgers, Italian beef, and fries. I used to live around the corner from Odges, which was really convenient when I needed my Chicago-style hot dog fix. Plenty of cops go to Odges, which is usually a good sign. And it's so much better than the other options in that area (McDonald's, Subway). Check it out the next time you're in Ukrainian Village. read more

Odge's - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Last time I got Odges was about 3 years ago and I stopped cuz one time my chicken sandwich was NOT cooked in the middle and was so gross. After 3 years I was like "let me give em a chance again cuz I actually liked their burgers before the chicken sandwich incident" Well, I shouldn't have! I called em at the times in the picture, and they kept saying "call back in 10 minutes he delivery guy isn't here yet". I called back two more times and the guy still wasn't there. Thing is the person that kept answering the phone was rude! Like dude, don't get mad at me for calling! You're a freaking business! Make sure your workers are there in time cuz you just lost an order for 15 people. Sheesh! read more

Locals tell me this spot has been around way before West Town was gentrified. So yeah, cool fact. This is a cash only (ATM inside) spot to get your Chicago street food fix. They have got the Chicago style hotdogs, Italian beef sandwiches and nice homemade burgers. The close a little too early for my liking on weekdays but I would definitely go back here when in the mood to spoil myself. read more

Cook wasn't wearing a mask plus the food ain't all that good. I called to place my order and it rang and rang till it stopped ringing so I walked over. Sure enough, the minimum wage cook wasn't answering g the phone and he wonders why he makes minimum wage read more

Best chicken and burgers in town. Especially the fries are to die for. I usually get chicken sandwich fries and dont forget the cup of cheese to go with it. read more

My wife and I are big eaters. So to satisfy our stomach we search for a place while driving. We found a place that has good dishes yet has a cheaper price. We ordered 10 different burgers. While waiting in our order we just took each other a selfie. Gladly our food came quickly. It was hot and fresh. The burger has a good patty. They have a hood flavor and it's juicy. It's pretty good and mouthwatering. It has side dishes on every burger. It is a fries that has a good cook. The fries are crunchy outside and soft inside. It's perfect if you dip it in some ketchup. I will give 5 stars for good food. Their service is also good. The waiter is nice. Highly recommend this place read more

When in Rome do as the romans... when in Chicago, eat a Italian beef... I'm not big on fancy places, and the place fits my likings. Ma and pa type place, simple but great menu. read more

This is definitively a low key real Chicago hot dog spot. They're still cranking out hot dogs in natural casings. Cheap prices and great food is why. Nothing fancy here so cash only. Hot dogs, daily homemade burgers and chili, crispy fries, tamales and other food/drinks. read more

5 stars for the food. 1 Star for the unprofessional business operations. Second time within a month I've stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon and they are closed. Hours of operation say open until 8 PM. Sheesh get yourselves together and set up a consistent hours of operation. Middle eastern food will earn my business for a second time this month. Great food by the way! read more

This spot is tiny, and I'd guess that there are a ton of places like it in Chicago. Nevertheless, the dogs are amazing, cheap, and convenient. If you're a newcomer to Chicago style hot dogs, you'd do very well to make Odge's your first. read more

Fast and friendly service :). Ordered the cheese burger with everything and the fries that come with are great! Nice old-school taste.

Drooooool. Odge's will bring you back in time to similar American classics. There are only a few tables so you may have to take your food to go or wait a bit for someone to leave. It's counter style, cash only ordering but there's an ATM inside if you forget. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything on it and fries. The combination of the toppings combined with the flavor of the beef burger was to die for and I'm drooling thinking about it. I tried a few onion rings that my friend ordered and they were incredible. This is a perfect spot for a quick bite to go or a cheaper date idea. The space inside is incredibly retro too. Don't ever change Odge's! read more
