Really good spot, I truly recommend for those who in love with Real Gyro. The staff were great and so was the food. ALL FRESH.

Plush Pup is one of the few remaining places to get a true CHICAGO DOG of quality. Super fresh ingredients and no skimping. I love a good hot dog and there isn't anyone who does it as good as Plush Pup. Convenient stop going to or from Ohare read more

On the way to see Kansas at the Rivers Casino, I stopped here 'cos it was our daughter's fave when she worked up this way. It's a Chicago Greek Sandwich joint in all its glory. I swung with the Gyros plate and a Greek salad. When I picked it up, I had to make 2 trips, 'cos I got a complimentary bowl of soup (Cream of Chix with rice-Greek Style). The Gyros was fresh off the spit, and indeed yum. Not quite Halsted Street, but excellent for close to O'Hare. The Greek Salad was a basic Greek Salad, but you DO get a generous hunk of good-quality feta in it. I've found the Greek proprietors that care put good quality Feta and olives in their salads. The Soup was homemade (I know this 'cos the affable owner guy told me so). It too, hit the spot. The half-banquettes have seen better days, and so has the men's facility, but they were clean. It's a no-nonsense joint a step above the norm. Not that far off the Kennedy Extension, and actually on the way to/from O'Hare. Eat here with no regrets! read more

This place was good at some point now it is very overpriced garbage, the fries absolutely no taste and they do not salt them, there hot dogs are mushy and again with no taste. $10 for dog and fry and small pop, the gyro was a little better but again fries terrible and 16.99 for gyro fry and drink if you want to charge this for fast food then make sure it the best not average or less!!!! read more

We stopped in for lunch after passing by many times on Cumberland Ave. Luckily the restaurant has a lot parking in their shared shopping center parking lot. The restaurant has a diner look to it and it's very clean and well maintained. The service was efficient. The menu has all the typical hot dog joint offerings plus a few unique items like Mexican food dinners. The food was pricey and was good but we agreed if we want a hotdog there are other nearby restaurants we prefer. If you are in the area and haven't been to Plush Pup it's worth a try. read more

Been a favorite of mines for at least 5 years now. Everything has been good and the service is exceptional.

I stopped here for lunch and here's my review of Plush Pup. It's your typical Chicago large diner restaurant. I arrived and took in the vibes and walked up to place my order. Not sure what I wanted but after a quick scan I went with the pork Kabobs lunch meal for like $15.99. I got soup and a drink. I forgot the soup I got but I remember it was pretty good. Then here's my review of the main show which were the pork Kabobs. The Kabobs were on point and very flavorful and delicious! The rice and salad was a nice pairing with the meal. Overall it was a good meal for a decent price. I'd get it again. Keep up the great work Plush Pup! read more

Haven't been here in years and was in the area so I figured a return visit was called for. It's in a strip mall with ample parking. I recommend bringing cash, as there is a surcharge for credit cards. Stopped in around 12:30pm on a weekday and it was not busy. Service was fast but stoic. Love the 50's decor! The dining area was clean and comfortable. Ordered the char grilled hot dog with everything. Note that when you order a dog with everything, that does not include sport peppers. Those must be added separately. I also noticed that they don't put celery salt on their hot dogs. Not a big deal, but something that is different from other Chicago dogs. The dog also came with a slice of cucumber, which was also a variation from your typical Chicago dog. The cucumber was a nice touch and a bit refreshing. The char grilled dog itself was hot and juicy, and the toppings were generous. Unfortunately, the bottom of the hot dog bun was hard which downgraded my rating. They may want to check the freshness of their hot dog buns or steam them before using. read more

Plush Pup - 1/2 roast chicken - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not good for what they charge. Fries were mushy and the beef was bland and a bit rubbery. Won't be back. Service was at least nice.

Great service every time. Never had a bad or wrong order over the year I have been going there.

Horrendous food. Surprising they stay open. The chili is out of a can. The food is dry. Very poor quality

It's only the second time I've been there and the hot dog wasn't very hot. The french fries really need to be cooked longer and the grease needs to be drained better before you put them in the bag. I thought it was my imagination when I saw grease coming off that silver thing that they use as the fries were being put in my bag but nope, they were very greasy. They were hot but greasy. The first time I was there, I thought the fries were undercooked and I thought maybe it was a one time thing, but I guess not . read more

I have been going to Plush Pup for years and believe me, their Gyro sandwich and Greek potatoes are to die for. Try for yourself. They also make a mean BLT. As far as the other items, I have not tried them yet, but I'm sure I will be happy once I do. read more

Had seen this place on instagram and also read that they serve a mean hotdog, the ambiance was super retro cute, and very clean. You order at the counter, and it seemed as if the cook/waiter was having a bit of a bad day, almost as if our presence was an annoyance. The woman checking us out was very friendly, and attentive, even while she was multi tasking with phone and pick up orders. Had the patty melt, ask for thousand island on the melt and you won't be disappointed! Side of fries were overdone, onion rings had too much breading, and the cheese sauce tasteless. Did also order the double cheeseburger which was fresh and tasty, but really could have enjoyed some awesome sides with those Sammy's which was a bit of a bummer. Oh well! One and done for this joint! read more

So I am havering a Hard time finding a decent beef sandwich in the area. Stopped into Plush Pup and they have a good beef as long as the bread and meet is wet . Good flavor in the juice. Make sure it's wet . Cheese fries were great! Fries were crispy and flavorful and cheese sauce tasted good. Pizza puff was meaty and flavorful. I would definitely give this place another try! read more

This place is a conundrum for me. I factor in price to a point, I don't mind spending money on a good meal. Hell, I've spent $95 dollars on a steak once, that didn't come with sides. I scoured the menu for a 2 dog meal deal which they didn't have. Maybe I overlooked it or they need to add one. The one hot dog meal deal consisted of a hot dog, medium soda, and fries for $9.25. If I bought everything individually, I would have spent $9.49. Wow, a .24 cents savings!!! I ordered a second dog, nonetheless. Ouch! I received my order quickly and sat down. I looked into a bag with a mound of piping hot fries and unwrapped my dog and was greeted with a snap dog with all the trimming including cucumbers and bright neon green relish. Things were looking up for that price point. I grabbed a handful of fries and noticed they really lacked salt. Thank goodness for salt shakers on the table. IMHO, if the fries aren't salted straight out of the fryer, the salt just bounces off the fry. I had to use ketchup for the fries so the salt could adhere to the fries. The fries might have been an oversight, so I was looking forward to pigging out on my snap dog. The pickle was large and filled up the bun, the cucumber and tomatoes were super fresh and were cut thick. I love the heat of the peppers but all the ingredients were out of proportion to the hot dog. The onions, wow, I love onions but it was swimming in onions plus they were lacking any true punch of flavor. All in all, it was good, not great. This place could be a solid 5 out of 5 if they tweak a couple of things. As it stands now, I give them a 3.0/5.0 read more

Classic dinner. Cool place, a little dirty. Pricey for the quality. Plush dog was alright. Presented well and standard taste. Rough service but not quite the charming way. read more

Never ever ever eat here went in at 8pm place didnt close for an hour and the told us we couldnt eat there because it was closing in an hour Guess when you charge 16.49 for a gyros fry and drink you can turn away business read more

I was hungry for a chicago dog, so I wanted to try this place. I walked in, and it was empty. I've never been here before, so it took a second to go over the huge menu. The chicago dog was ok, the fries were not good, the onion rings were good, but the fried zucchini was not good at all. The fried zucchini was soft and not fried all the way through. Overall, it's an ok place to grab a quick hot dog, but I most likely won't visit again. read more

Plush Pup - the inside of a fast food restaurant - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you are expecting a luxurious fine dining you wouldnt go to a place where a whole chicken is $8.95. The hamburger was razor thing but you should expect that from a place that has a burger for less then 5.00. Needless to say I was upset because I told them I wanted my onions to be grilled and not to chew them like i just picked them from the ground when I'm in the wild. The environment is somewhat sterile as it's too plain...I dont think their trying to dazzle anyone with couches at 2000 dollars. Their just trying to sell you hamburgers, fries , chicken and ribs ...that is it. The fries are ok...if you need a sandwhich on your way from ohare then go here if you cant wait read more

Honestly one cheeseburger and one hot dog is not 17 dollar no drinks no fries the food is mid not good enough for the prices

This place is awesome! Always solid service and great options from Greek to Chicago fare. Highly recommend. Parking lot too which makes things helpful. Support a local small business vs Portillos! read more

Not sure why it has such low reviews. Ordered a polish a hot dog and large fries for $20. Polish was perfect and juicy... fries crispy. I get $20 is considered a lot of Chicago fare but they got to keep up with this economy... support a local place. read more

there comes a time when you die. the same applies to a business. it is time plush pup closes its doors.the food quality has nosed dived while the prices have skyrocketed. the owner is just going thru the motions of giving a damn. i would not even recomend this resturant to a homeless person.probably get better food at a shelter. read more

I love this place. It's fatty and delicious, just what you expect from a fast food place. I always get the Reuben and sometimes a milkshake. It's a cute place with a lot of seating and the staff are always kind. We keep coming back. read more

17.00 for a mushy oily cheesesteak sandwich with bland frozen fries. Major disappointment

Decent fast takeout service within reasonable budget. I had a philly and fries, it was good.

NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN My girlfriend and I ordered the chicken kabob plates with rice - to go. The chicken was fully cooked, but sticky and slimy in some parts on the outside. Everyone knows this is bacterial overgrowth from when cooked chicken sits out at room temperature and goes bad. What makes me sad is that the food tastes good. But the cleanliness and quality is something we cannot play around it. Never again. read more

They've got such a great fish sandwich! Stopped by during lunch today and got the fish sandwich with fries. The bun was perfectly toasted, my lettuce was fresh and crunchy, the fish filet was perfectly crispy and flavorful too. Service was quick and nice. read more

Just out of curiosity I decided to check Yelp for this establishment. I was not surprised at all to see all the negative comments about this place. I have not eaten at this restaurant in over 10 years. Why? Because of the rude manner in which they treated me on 3 different occasions. I had placed orders by telephone maybe 20 minutes before closing time and told them I would pick up my order before their closing time. I did arrive on time but they had the door locked and refused to let me in to pick up my order. Keep in mind I was a repeat customer many times before this and they knew I lived quite close to their restaurant. Anyway, I figured, 3 strikes and your out. So I have not been there in 10 years if not longer. I do bring my business to China Kitchen at least 2 times a week and am very happy with their beef and mixed vegetables. If you want a good beef sandwich or a good hot dog, go to Portillo's on Lawrence near Harlem. The Portillo's employee's often make mistakes with your order but the food is also much better than Plush Pup. read more

This place is wonderful!! The staff was so friendly and everyone was very kind. I felt safe being here during the pandemic. I would 100% recommend and come back! read more

Hate to do this....but WAY overpriced for pretty terrible food. Came in here the other day around 1:30-2:00ish and ordered the hot dog combo meal. Was told that they were frying fresh fries for my meal. The dog? Not all beef, undercooked, inappropriate topping ratios (I shouldn't have to scrape half a pound of onions off my dog), just...no. Fresh fries? Cooked in stale oil and COMPLETELY unseasoned. Terrible. $10 for this trash meal? Pass. Don't waste your money. read more
