First time at Snappy Dog and I love it. I love a good hot dog and I wasn't disappointed nor was I disappointed with their fries. Very friendly service and quick and the prices were pleasantly low for the amount I bought. I will be definitely going back. read more

I even agree on the views on the snappy sticks AKA mozzarella sticks. They certainly are unusual. You got three sticks with an order but they're huge. At first when I opened it up I thought he gave me something like egg rolls. They do not have the usual reading on them. They appear to be wrapped in something like phyllo dough. Some kind of seasoning on the wraps. Not sure if it's just salt or something else. All in all I really like them. I would have liked to have them a little bit hotter so that the cheese would have been a little mealtier. I do think they were well worth the price. Would be nice if they had a few stools there so you could sit at the counter by the window. Worker was friendly. read more

Best place ever! Wonderful customer service. Best hot dogs and mozzarella sticks. First time at the place and will go back read more

So this used to be a decent quick bite place in the area. Menu is pretty large for a place that's the size of a typical bathroom. On my last visit, I noticed that the prices have gone up and now even a hot dog with a handful of fries is $4. I got a hot dog and it was ok; but barely any fries; and the ones that I could count were small lukewarm chards. Not to mention left over few small chunks of chicken tenders. Total mess, not wasting my $ here again. read more

It's always the small restaurants with a limited menu that do well. Now limited sounds like a negative thing but it's not. What more could you need from a late night hot dog joint. Located in downtown Edison Park right next to The Emerald Isle you can get a hot dog, polish, tamales, corn dogs, fries, and mozzarella stick and of course shakes and beverages. Simple! What more do you need. Best part is they're open late! Just imagine drinking your ass off at one of the many late night bars in Edison Park and all the restaurants kitchens are closed and you don't have enough money for a cab ride home. Swagger into the Snappy Pup and stuff your face dude. So remember when you're out drinking in EP over the weekend remember to try Snappy Dog. They're open till Midnight Sunday-Wednesday, 3AM Thursday and Friday and 4AM on Saturdays! Oh and if you're wondering about the food. It's good obviously! You can't screw this stuff up. Try their signature Snappy Dog. It's a 1/4 pound Vienna dog with secret hot sauce , onions and sport peppers with skin on fries with sea salt. AMAZING. read more

I decided to come here due to the good reviews but wish I hadn't. A hot dog and fries was my order during lunch time on a Saturday. I thought the bun was going to be steamed because they pulled it out of a steamer, but it hardened after a minute. I know the fries were fresh because I saw him putting them in the oil but they tasted stale. Won't be back.... read more

This is a standing room only, hole in the wall, hot dog place that serves up some interesting sides too. Passed by a number of times before finally stopping in and was pleasantly surprised at how decent it is. You walk in, there is a menu on the wall to the left and the tiny counter to order food and that is about it. So decor is nothing to write home about. But the Snappy Stix are mozzarella sticks like you have never had them before. Huge, melty, and served with a side of marinara sauce, these things could potentially be a meal on there own. The tamales were not great, tiny and they fell apart really easily, I would skip those. Hot dogs, also great. And they serve Green River! Always a plus. Great place for a quick in and out meal with no frills. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Decided to stop in for lunch. Monday afternoon, not busy at all. Hispanic guy with glasses either hates his job or is just not friendly. Was very rude, and not accommodating. 1 star because I frequent the joint when I'm drunk/hungover. read more

I recently went in here and it was actually my first time. There are a variety of choices on their menu and all are cheap and affordable. The staff are also nice and friendly. I decided to have their Chicago dog that comes with fries and their snappy stix which is mozzarela stix. The service was fast. The chicago dog was wrapped in the same paper with the fries, it tastes fine however the fries are not crispy. I love their snappy stix. The mozzarela is so good and it tastes perfect with marinara sauce that comes with it. I had a pretty great time in here and I will surely be back. read more

This is the place to be! want a great dog at great price and speedy service...great customer service? This is my place! I go with the corn dog and those darn moz sticks! What type of crack do you all put in those?! GET THEM! you wont be disappointed! It's like an eggroll filled with gooey mozzarella cheese. My heart skips a beat at each bite! I love the guy that rings up each time... he always refers to my boyfriend as "boss". Which I think my boyfriend gets a kick outta that! LOL. Any rate, go get yourself a great dog and those amazing moz sticks. I am an avid fan! read more

I can see why I always see a group of drunk people in front of this place. It's Edison Park's stop for soaking up a night of boozing. A snappy dog will definitely start the process of easing that hangover. read more

Best snappy sticks and go to drunk food. The only downfall is Scotty the owner isn't there really anymore and the new employees don't seem to really give two shits. The guy that took my order was talking on the phone and smoking a cig outside before I walked in and didn't even take the time to wash his hands. Scotty we need you back. But I understand you want a life outside your business read more

Snappy Dog - Best mozzarella sticks you could ever have - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow, what a great hidden gem. This place is so small it has a half numbered address. I took a walk here for lunch and enjoyed everything I had. I had the Snappy Dog and Fries with a side of the Mozzarella Sticks. The Snappy Dog was great. The Snappy Sauce on the dog was really good. It had just enough heat, and tasted great. The rest of the toppings were fresh. The fries were good, but I wish you get the dog without the fries as I really enjoyed the mozzarella sticks. The Home-Made Mozzarella Sticks: WOW! These were some of the best mozzarella sticks I have ever had. I would return here just for those alone. As stated above, it's too bad these were part of a deal. A Snappy Dog and Mozzarella sticks would be the perfect meal deal, please! It is really small inside, There is about 5 feet of stand up table space along the window, but it was really clean inside. Parking can be a problem in that area, this is why I feel lucky enough to be able to walk here. Prices are very reasonable. The people that work there are great. Very friendly and explained the Snappy Dog to the T. I can't wait to return here! I will be back. read more

This place is ok the food Was cold and there tamales are not too great at all but the food was cold and the tamales are not all that good what's so ever read more

We come into Chicago every two years for work and always look forward to going to snappy dog. We flew in from phoenix yesterday and headed straight there. The open sign was on , and according to their hours posted they were open but the door was locked. After waiting for 20 minutes we decided to leave. Went back today and they were open .... the guy working there was not welcoming in anyway. I wish this was the worst of it. We ordered our food and he only had enough beef for one Italian beef sandwich. Okay , that's not so bad , places run out of stuff I get it. He puts the Italian beef in the cooker thing they use and then just sits down and starts watching a video on his phone. Instead of starting the French fries, giving us our drinks , or starting the snappy stix he decided to sit down and watch a video. We try to start up a conversation with him and he is not having it. The guy definitely does not want to talk at all. Which is ALSO fine but this customer service was just so bad. This has never been the case at snappy dog. Flash forward 15 minutes later and the food is all Done. He then goes to pour our drinks and the soda machine wasn't working so he has to fix that. Again....things happen. So we eat our food. The Italian beef was cold, the snappy stix were not fresh and also cold. We finish our food and then hands us our drinks with two ice cubes in them. As we were leaving he was very rude to a little girl ordering a hot dog. The entire experience was a disaster. I am only posting this in hopes the owner sees this and hopefully hires better staff. I downloaded the yelp app just so I could post this review. Honestly the experience was so bad I will not be going back this week while we are in town and maybe never again. updating. Place still sucks. No response from Owner ? coward read more

My everlasting quest for the best hot dog brought me to Snappy's Dog today, and I think I may have found my new favorite!!! I'm sorry to the others out there, but it's time to step up your game! I drove past Snappy's the first time. Not that difficult to do since it's technically not much bigger than my closet. I circled around and found parking and entered a tiny slice of food heaven... The menu is typical for a Chicago hot dog joint, hot dogs, chili dogs, chili cheese dogs, Italian beef... You get the picture... The one thing that the others don't have though is the Snappy Dog. It's a 1/2 pound Vienna Beef hot dog coated in secret fire sauce, tons of nacho cheese, sport peppers and if you're the type that likes onions, those too. HOLY SMOKES!!! That's a Delicious Dog!!! There really are only 2 things wrong with the Snappy Dog, 1: how the devil do you eat it without wearing it? And 2: why can't it last forever? Go to Snappy's if you know what's good. And if you don't, go and find out!!! read more

Food was ok. Wifey got an Irish beef, I got a basic Chicago dog. It was borderline ok, so take it for what you will. Would've gotten an extra star had my wife not felt the fry cook's death stare penetrating through her very soul. However, if any of you young ladies like the angry, brooding, serial killer type, come on down! read more

came all the way from WI to order this and checked the website for times its open , got here at 11 when it opens and been sitting here for 30 min still not open. read more

Hot dog was not bad but not as good as a Portillo dog or a g&j. Fries sucked and chili is just some canned chili reheated and served like slop. I've had this place recommended to me but I won't be back nor would I recommend. read more

The food is great and reasonably priced, but the service leaves something to be desired. The man at the counter was rude and made me feel uncomfortable, making sexist comments. It's tolerable enough to put up with just to get the great portions and tasty food. Try the strawberry milkshake! read more

I know, I know. It's a nearly heresy to judge a hole-in-the-wall like Snappy Dog by its cleanliness, but I will face the angry mob to say: This place is filthy. It's absolutely disgusting. And by taking a look at the place, the fact that a vanilla milkshake tasted like actual mold is not a surprise. Snappy Sticks are one of the best inventions, giving this place the extra star. But that's it. Snappy Sticks or bust. Not easily grossed out? Go here. Otherwise...Just don't, promise? read more

Edison Park is almost the suburbs, but Snappy Dogs are about as downtown as it gets. They're classic Chicago style completely down to the celery salt. The perfect craving killer whether you're drunk from the nearby bars or just got a hankerin' for a hot beef injection. Besides the dogs they do this amazing Irish Beef Sandwich, which is an awesome twist on the classic Chicago Italian. It's basically a Ruben on a pretzel bun slathered with cheese and Thousand Island dressing. The other notable menu item is the snappy sticks which are the offspring of an egg roll and a mozz stick. Dunk those babies in a side of marinara and you'll be a happy camper. Overall, the place packs big flavor into a hot dog stand and the owner is pretty darn funny. If you're up this way and pop in I'd bet you'll be a fan. read more

Facilities aside. Place has gone down hill. The food is sloppy, fries not fresh. I won't be back read more

This place is pretty much the definition of "hole in the wall," but that only matters if you're looking for indoor seating. Traditional Chicago style dog and fries were very good. read more

Stopped for a late afternoon hot dog. As I was approaching the front door someone stepped out and lit a cigarette in the tiny door way. I greeted that person and As I started walking in that person wouldn't move out of my way. Turns out he worked there. I apologized in a jokingly manner for entering as he lit up (being a former smoker I felt his pain). "Whatya need" I immediately said "I'm good. Thanks anyways". One of the most obscene encounters I have ever experienced form an employee/possible owner. Douche bag. I'll stick to Brandy's. read more

Its a cool little place in the center of the towns downtown. Would recommend just ordering on the go since there is not much room inside. Since almost everyone on here raved about the mozzarella sticks I wanted yo try them. They were delicious! Its mozzarella inside a egg roll shell kinda thing. Who ever came up with that idea was a genius. Also had a chicago hot dog which tasted pretty good as well. I took mine with tomato, which was pretty big, pickle spear, mustard, green relish, onions. The fries came with the hot dog which were put on top of the hot dog inside the wrapping. The fries were not fresh cut but tasted ok. Its street parking which you have to pay for but you can find some free parking in the near by neighborhood. read more

I've been here several times before and normally the service is pretty good. But my visit today was so bad, that I'm only giving 1 star. The girl behind the counter was rude from the start and seemed more concerned about her pet in the pet carrier next to the counter than taking my order. I asked her a few questions, and she seemed annoyed that a customer would actually have a question. Even when I received my order, I had to ask her to fill the drinks as the cups she handed me were only half full. When she did put more in, they still weren't near full and she put then on the counter and just walked away. The food was only o,. I'm sure it would taste awesome if you stumbled or of a bar at 2:00, but otherwise I wouldn't go back. read more

Very good fast food. Open late, which works well for folks leaving any of the many nearby bars. I've had one or two dogs here that were sub-par, but generally quality is pretty good. I'm not a fan of the snappy sticks, but if you like fried cheese... read more

This was once a great hot dog stand. But it has really gone to the dogs. The service is slow (like turtles stuck in peanut butter slow). The hours are inaccurate (walked up at 3:00 in the afternoon to get a hotdog and the guy running the place was locking up, asked "Are you closed?" He said "For now I am." And forget that your order is correct when they give it to you. (Asked for a hot dog with no pickles, no peppers when my son opened the wrapper the first thing peering out from the bun was a pickle spear, which the 10 year old promptly proclaimed "Yuck!" and did not want to eat it). The consolation should have been the fries but unfortunately they were cold (we heard him throw them into the fryer but did he just mix old fries up with the fresh ones?). So goodbye Snappy Dog. I will go to Brandy's or I will hike out to Gene and Jude's before I come back here. read more

Mozzarella sticks are terrible! Cheese wrapped in wonton papers. Gross. No sauce either. Last two times I had the Irish sandwich I felt sick. Virtually no chili on chili cheese fries - about 2 tablespoons. Never again. Should have gone the one time and that's it. Next 2 times were the worst. read more

Great spot for a late night snack and super quick delivery. Only thing I wish was different is how they pack their fries. They wrap the hotdog with the fries, so by the time food arrived, fries were very soggy... hot dog was good, though. read more

The place is so small, blink and you'll miss it but you really don't want to miss it. The food is fresh and tasty, the portions are more than adequate for the price, and the mozzarella sticks are like nothing you have ever had before. As opposed to the heavily breaded mozzarella sticks you get everywhere else that are more breading and grease than anything else, these are tons of mozzarella wrapped in a thin wonton wrapper that is crispy and not oily and ups the ante on the cheese factor. Simply delicious. The hot dogs are Chicago dogs, good sized and Chicago toppings right down to the neon green relish and sprinkle of celery salt. This is a tiny little hole in the wall but boy is it worth knowing about. On Saturday night / Sunday morning - they're open up to 3:30 a.m. and very little in the Edison Park neighborhood is open quite that late. Well worth a visit & I will be going back. Quick note, if you are coming during the daylight hours, be super careful about the parking as this stretch of Northwest Highway is notorious for workers from LLC waiting for anybody to walk into a store so they can pounce on you with a hefty ticket. Just saying, definitely go there but watch where you leave your car! read more
