Solid place for classic Chicago grub and outstanding customer service. Tbh the hot dog was kind of bland but I enjoyed other items a lot more, such as the polish and the italian sausages. Mushrooms and onion rings are good. I've never been a fan of frozen crinkle-cut fries, but Dogout cooks them perfectly. Last week I saw a sign in the front window: "For Sale - We want to retire". I wish them well! They seem to have a lot of regulars. If you're a fan, check them out before they're gone. read more

excellent food Great owners 6 of us including 2 small children brought my 3 year old a matchbox car Great place can't wait to go back read more

The food itself is lower quality cookout food. Let's be critical and put the fact that it's family owned aside because the wife was horrible to me and was the first time I came here and I assumed it was a fluke. I came back hoping and the party was thin with no seasoning and it was burnt. So much lettuce it was like a salad on my burger lol. Between the attitude and giving them two chances I would rate this spot a zero. read more

A classic. This place is a historic landmark as the community and myself have enjoyed their dogs over the past few decades. Hidden gem in the NorthShore. read more

This is a STAPLE. It brings back memories, the owners and people who work here are absolutely incredible, kind and hardworking and the food is delicious can't go wrong with the 2 hotdog lunch special. Thanks for everything dogout! read more

The Dogout - Two hot dog special, fries and onion rings. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

food was so good!! i got the burgur and fries and they were both amazing. Amazing service too!! They were so friendly. 100/10

Great service! The staff are extremely nice and the food was prepared quickly. It was a great lunch! and the restaurant is clean.

Five-star charbroiled goodness...everything cooked to the perfect crunch! Oh, it makes me a little melancholy that the last time I was here my boys were young. Now that they are all grown up, it was time for 1/2lb *big boy* cheeseburgers...no more 1/4lb for my 6' teenagers :-) I ordered up a chicken sandwich on a pita, and my kiddos had the cheeseburger. The chicken sandwich was lightly seasoned with some sort of Greek dressing (I think) and perfectly charbroiled. Tender as can be, I ordered it in a pita, so they chopped up all the pieces and threw in an abundant amount of fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The pita was notable. It was lightly crispy on the edges. Like a salad in a pita! Moving on to the cheeseburger. Don't let the super char photo fool you. The burger was dark pink in the middle and not overcooked at all. It was served on a lightly toasted bun. Though I'm trying to eat less red meat, I had to steal a bite. Topped with American cheese, just perfect for a hungry teenager, the burger combo came with a side of their yummy crinkle fries. All perfectly cooked and lightly crunchy, there were no fry chunks left over. The portion size was so big my kiddo couldn't finish it. A win for me! Customer service was off-the-charts. The owners were friendly, and they checked in on us several times to make sure we were happy. This place is an institution and checks off every single box as to what a perfect restaurant should be. read more

I like how Bannockburn has this hot dog fast food place that has a Chicago Bears related mural, complete with signatures from the 1985 offensive line, including TE Moorehead's signature! It almost makes you feel like Ditka can walk in any minute although I heard that he sold his place, which is not too far from DogOut. The lunch specials are solid and the Chicago dog is what you would expect in the city. The fries are hot and crispy! Prompt and friendly service, ample parking - perfect for lunch when you want to get away from the office. read more

Small, no frills place to get lunch! People are friendly and the food is great and cheap!

Food is incredible !! My boyfriend and I loveeee Dogout. It is our favorite place to go for a delicious and quick lunch. The owners and people working are always extremely friendly and kind. We go at least 3x a week! Our favorite is their char dog. Best hot dog joint in the north suburbs. Would recommend to anyone. read more

great service really nice old man at the register first time and definitely won't be the last

Expect the best of hot dog stand fare--and perfectly grilled hamburgers--here in a cozy spot where the energetic and friendly owners are working the counter and eager to please. Tried the hamburger this time. Juicy and flavorful. read more

The Dogout - Known for their dogs, Dogout's beef isn't second rate. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

Located in Bannockburn, this looks like a typical hotdog place. But, after going here for 50+ times, I can tell you it is not. First of all the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. The food is great and rapid. Overall this is a great road trip stop or local eatery. read more

Nice spot to get a quick and cheap bite to eat. Good customer service. Owner is very funny and has great suggestions on the menu. We had the 1/2 lb burger and Chicago jumbo dog with fries (both were really good with a nice grill taste). read more

Maybe I got them on a bad day. Got two chili cheese dogs and small fry. Honestly they hot dog was fall apart before even touched it. They had no flavor and the fries were unsalted. On top of it all it was over $15. I won't be back. read more

I had the Dogout pegged as a hot dog joint (because of the name). It has hot dogs but also burgers, gyros, Italian beef sandwiches and salads. The food is straightforward (they don't put gyro meat on a sausage) and so is the decor. I was actually confused by the hot dog menu because no toppings are listed - and they don't have a toppings bar (or I didn't see one). I asked for it Chicago style and of course they knew what to do. * Chicago dog ($2.69): a boiled Vienna beef hot dog, huge pickle spear, sport peppers, chopped onions, yellow mustard, relish, tomatoes, celery salt surrounded by a soft, steamed soft poppyseed bun. The right ingredients were there and it was a decent, standard dog. The pickle spear is rather overpowering. read more

So this is my first time here but not my last. If you like Portillo's cheese fries you will love the fries at this place. It could actually be better than Portillo's. No joke. The cheese sauce comes out nice and hot and the fries are the crinkled kind that go fabulous with the cheese! They give you a lot too. Easily good for two. Since I'm a fat kid at heart, I ordered myself a char double dog with cheese, ketchup, extra tomatoes, grilled onions, sport peppers, celery salt and pickles on the side. The dog was one of the yummiest I have ever had. I'm a Chicago girl so that says a lot. Quite surprising how one of the best dogs I've ever had is here in the North Shore and not in the city. Props to these guys for that. It was charred to perfection, not burned like some places do. Sorry I had to deduct a star only because I was looking forward to the grilled onions the most but when I got home there was no grilled onions anywhere in sight. I was bummed at first but the fact that the cheese fries and the dog were so good I got over it quick. I live walking distance to the popular Micheal's and Stasha's in Highland Park but I will totally make the drive out to this place next time I want some yummy fast food. Gotta also mention that this place is super clean and well kept. It has hole in the wall food without being your typical hole in the wall. Friendly service too. Keith rounds down too :") read more

Tasty hamburger. Friendly staff. Not many good food places in Deerfield, but this is one of them.

Do yourself a favor and eat at a true Mom and Pop place and keep your money awY from corporate chains.

The food and customer servcie was excllent.....hot dog and gyro plate, my wife said her chocolate shake was a bit runny. They would get 5 stars, if they cleaned up some....bathroom WAS DISGUSTING, caked on feces inside of toilet bowl and on outside, glad i was only having to pee. Chairs/tables outside & inside, filthy and/or just beat up. Dirty ketchup and napkin dispensers. The sample cups showing the sizes by the register caked w/dirt and dust...how hard is it to dust it or replace it? There is a reason this place has a 71 for health score, but we did not get sick from food so that is good. read more

The Dogout - Mid afternoon lull. Crowd just left. Very clean - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

Awesome hole-in-wall hotdog joint. High quality, low priced food. The owner is a great guy too.

Looked like a legit Chicago-style stop. It wasn't. Not sure how anyone can call the Beef anything other than weak. The bread was stale, the beef was lukewarm, with cold spots. It was probably microwaved to heat up. The fries might have been good if they were not cold. I'm sure they must have something tasty, but they didn't serve it to me. Take a pass on this place, you can tell the staff doesn't care. read more

This hot dog oasis seems so out of place in its posh setting, and that's just one of the reasons that I love it. It's a welcomed addition to the somewhat stuffy strip mall. The two times I've been there a sweet man has taken my order and rounded my bill. Gotta love whole numbers or only getting quarters for change, but the food is what keeps me coming back. They have some really delicious cheese fries with deliciously crispy fries and potent cheddar cheese dip. My only complaint is that the Polish dog does not look anything like its picture and didn't have as much flavor as I expected. It just seemed like a larger version of a regular hot dog and it looked like they had just been boiled first and then slightly charred. I was hoping they would just cook it all the way through. Maybe it would take too much time. That's OK. I'll still keep coming back. read more

Incredibly friendly staff. The guy who rang me up knocked 32 cents off my bill because, and I quote he "likes round numbers." Great food, as well. I will be coming back here. My only problem was that they put a little too much celery salt on my dogs. Other than that, I'm a fan. read more

Great burgers. Try with cucumbers insteadof lettuce. The quality of beef is tastiest as is the bun. C.R.I.N.K.L.E. fries... OMG. Just the best. Chili dog , outstanding! Delish chili! Think on poppyseed steamed bun , too. Noone does it better. read more

There are two choices in the burbs...Dear Franks and The Dog Out. The later of the two had the better fries as well as a killer veggie burger. They stopped the fries with ridges! Whoooooa! Those were the best, but I tried their new ones and they were just ok, therefore the 4 stars. Otherwise, a great, fast food place with high quality foods and fresh toppings for the burgers, etc. I'm a little disappointed because the fries were what I craved. read more

The Dogout - Veggie vs Beef - Hot Dogs Near Me - Bannockburn, Illinois

Norman and Jill have continued for at least 20 years to greet customers and serve the basic food group needs with a friendly welcome and quick service. Craving a Chicago Dog my jumbo char was all I could have wanted with grilled onions and crispy fries. We can't get these delicacies in South Florida where I've lived the past 10 years. It takes a Chicago native to provide the right product. The gyros was tempting being carved fresh and the restaurant is clean and bright. Its a treat to enjoy on one of my CHICAGO visits. Kudos. read more

I stopped here after work on a Monday night-about 6pm. Quintessential Chicago hot dog stand. Menu a little too big for my taste, but in today's "health conscious" world, I guess you have to be all things to all people. Needless to say- I didn't try a turkey burger or salad, but just a good old fashioned Chicago hot dog. I had it with "everybody on it"- mustard, relish, pickle, onion, tomatoes, sports, and celery salt. Fries were crinkle cut (not a big fan. I prefer the 5/8" cut-well done). The hot dog was good-definitely all beef. It was a skinless dog (no casing with the nice "snap" when you bite into it) and it had that "over-brown/greenish hue" which indicates to me that it was sitting in the water awhile. The bun was poppy-seed (huge plus-getting more difficult to find) Fries were good(frozen, not fresh cut)-oil was clean and they weren't undercooked. This place has character. Cool autographed mural art on the walls form various Chicago sports figures. Clean and family owned. Would definitely recommend Dogout for your fast-food fix... read more

This place seriously has the best veggie burger I have ever tasted, and I have eaten a LOT of veggie burgers. I went in with a friend because we were in the area for work and needed lunch. As a vegetarian, I figured I would just get fries or something to hold me over. To my surprise they had a veggie burger on the menu! I didn't get my hopes up, thinking it would likely be a boca burger or something similar of the frozen variety. Boy was I wrong! I'm not sure what they make the patty out of (thought it looked to be primarily orange in color), but it was way more satisfying than any other veggie burger I've made or bought. I kept checking under the bun because I honestly couldn't believe there was no meat in it, it tasted so good! I was here a few months ago and also had the crinkle cut fries, though apparently they aren't doing those any more? I hope that's not true, or that they will reconsider, because I got crinkle cut cheese fries with my meal and they were delicious! I'm now obsessed with their veggie burger, which is unfortunate because I live about 45 minutes away from this place. I will have to make a pilgrimage soon! read more

Love this place! Great food, friendly staff and did i mention great food! Polish Sausage with grilled onions take me back to the original Jimmy's on Maxwell St without the bacteria.
