I work in the area and I'd been going to Wee-Dee's a couple times a month for the past 6-7 years. Every day it was the same, kinda cranky, old dude in a wheelchair at the register and every day it was really good Chicago Dogs or gyros or burgers. Over the past few months, in effort to save some money, I've stopped going out for lunch everywhere, but yesterday (3/18/26) I had a hankerin' for a good Chicago Dog, and their 2-dog combo meal has always been a great deal. I noticed right away that the cranky, old dude wasn't there. I got the dogs, but it was a plain bun -- no poppyseeds. It was dull, kinda dry, run-of-the-mill pickle relish. It was one thin slice of tomato on each. Not even a hint of celery salt. There was a pickle spear, some chopped onion, some mustard, but they seemed bored. It was as though the whole sandwich didn't want to be there. If you're a Chicago area dog stand -- unless you're serving up your own, special-recipe phenoma-dog -- the canon is The Chicago Dog: steamed poppyseed bun, steamed Vienna Beef frank, yellow mustard, chopped white onion, neon-green picallili relish, dill pickle spear, tomato wedges, sport peppers, and celery salt. When you ask the customer if they want it with "everything," THAT SPECIFIC LIST is what they expect. It's a very distinct flavor combination. Half-stepping or skimping on the ingredients is instantly noticeable -- to the eyes as well as the taste buds. On my sad way out the door I asked the young dude behind the cash register if the place is under new ownership. He confirmed that it is, since October. I asked him if he's the owner, but he said he is not. I saw no sense in belaboring my point to the paid help, so I left to belabor here where I hope Wee-Dee's new owner will see it. Dear Wee-Dee's Unlike the burger -- which is just another burger, or a gyros sandwich -- which is just another gyros sandwich, The Chicago Dog is a unique, ingredient-specific creation. It is NOT just another hot dog ...which is what you're serving, now. Wee-Dee's, please fix your Chicago Dog! Thank you. read more

One of the BEST grease pits in Illinois. Great gyros cuz they grill it for a bit, and the fries are great. They hook it up with a lot. This locations is the better Wee Dee's by far. read more

This place is a joke. The website has no information and a ton of ridiculous adds. No menu. The people working there are not friendly, and completely clueless. I expect it will go out of business soon because they just don't seem to care at all. read more

This is the new improved location. They have moved since I have been back last and this spot is still I. The heart of Elgin, always packed and serving up monster portions for an extremely reasonable value. The restaurant is family owned and operated. I swear I see the same staff flipping burgers and dropping fries every time I am there. The restaurant is packed and the room is limited to get around so you say excuse me or sorry trying to get from the pop machine to your table but everyone is good about it. There is limited outside seating but there is a park across the way so I normally get my items to go and eat there. If you are in the area stop by. read more

my son and I love coming here. The food is always amazing. Reminds me of the service atmosphere and ambience from when I was a kid getting a hotdog from a good Chicago hotdog stand with my father. read more

Used their catering services and there was SO MUCH FOOD we had more than enough for our party and were eating beef sandwiches for days and days after. Definitely worth the value and everything was delicious. Chicken wings, beef, salad, etc. Everyone was pleased with whatever they ate. read more

If you're looking for a really good gyro meal, this is your place. They're generous with their portion and their pita bread is huge. Meat is never over cooked, and plenty of it. Been coming here just for that for the longest time. I'd say their price is better than most places for how much you really you get. I wanted to try something else instead of getting my usual. But unfortunately, I did not like the spaghetti and meatball AT ALL. It had ZERO flavor, I'm not even sure if they used any seasoning for their meatball or sauce. The bread was flat, hard and tasted like cardboard. The spaghetti strands were stuck together and hard. Looks good in the photo but tasted the same if I licked my phone screen. Nothing bums me out more than spending money on a meal that you can't enjoy. The place is small but I always call to place my order for pick up and it's usually ready within 15 minutes. So the gyro is the way to go! I'm not sure if I would try anything new again for awhile lol read more

awsome place to eat great food and a sporty energy. have been going here for years the service is top tier.

Super fast service and everything I've ordered has been Delicious! My favorite is tge Greek salad with Gyros meat

Love their gyros, their catering is great too. Wish the new place had a drive thru. Always recommend it.

Closest thing to a Chicago burger or hotdog that I found in the Fox Valley area. Service is quick people are friendly and it reminds me of home in Chicago and those beer cheese sticks, phenomenal.! read more

I stopped off here to pick up a gyro to take home during the middle of the pandemic and was taken aback that none of the staff had masks on and the place looked dirty and run down. I didn't appreciate that. Nor did I appreciate the guys behind the counter. I don't know if the snarky attitudes were because I had my mask on or they were just having a bad day. Either way, I really don't care as I'm not going back as the gyro just wasn't good. I don't want or need to be wooed picking up a take-out order, but at least serve me good food. Although the gyro had a ton of meat, it was mostly dry. The tzatziki sauce was bland and too small a portion for this massive gyro. The fries were ok but my overall experience was a disappointment. read more

All around great food, can't go wrong with anything on menu, best in South Elgin. Ribeye Steak Sandwich read more

food tastes ok but very greasy !! burgers dripping of oil. my gyro pita soaked in oil. drinks didn't taste to good. fries were pretty good. The biggest issue that I saw was that the place is pretty dirty tables not cleaned the benches you sit in crumbs everywhere. The floor in the kitchen has food everywhere and under the appliances that looks like it's been there forever. the main eating area floor was pretty dirty also. if they clean this place up and cut back on the grease it be awesome. I know people still go here but you aren't blind just ain't right. read more

Loved the food, service was great, manager is the goat. Made them a video for my social medias and it went well and he hooked it up!! Inside is great as well! read more

Wee-Dee's - Philly cheese - Fast Food Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

They're a staple to the Village of South Elgin and fed my friends and my family and Wee Dee's is that establishment. They've come a long way from their humble beginnings and since having located to a newer and bigger location the attraction is all that much more appealing. With one of the most diverse and in-depth menu of food options, this place always delivers quality meals at a very attractive price. Gyros have always been a key attractant given the abundance of food they always give but their other wealth of items to explore. Highly recommend this family owned and friendly restaurant. read more

We really wanted to like this place: - Friendly owners - The best fries anywhere - Great beef sandwiches - Spacious new location The thing that is stopping us from ever going there again is the fact that the cooks don't where masks when preparing the food (COVID), and we found hairs in the last thing we bought there. Really too bad, but the hair thing is a dealbreaker. read more

Awesome place for a quick lunch, hangout with friends for a quick bite. All quick old favorites. I've had their gyro, hamburger, Philly, steak, sandwich, and fries, and onion rings. My husband has had their shrimp and fries and their specials come with soup . Friendly staff. read more

We live right down the street and have made this our carry out place. Everything is fair or better - gyros are best in the area. Prices are reasonable. Try it - what do you have to lose? read more

I went yesterday and saw that everyone of the customers and staff had a mask on, EXCEPT the guy sitting at the front, taking the payment!! He really stood out, in a very bad way. My last time for this place!! read more

Love the new location. Quick service. Great food. Good size portions at great prices. YUMMY!!!

This place has so much to offer on the menu. It's been around awhile, and it has been awhile since I visited. I had the hot dog meal and it was all good. Honestly, I've never seen such an extensive menu from a place like this. They have breakfast items and even steak sandwiches. One thing I like is it is close to the S. Elgin dam fishing area, so after a morning of fishing I like to come here for lunch. read more

Gyros are yummy!!! Fries are so good. Hot dogs are good. Really friendly. Definitely recommend!

Every so often we take the family here and usually the food is pretty good but after today we will not be returning. We ordered 5 different meals and every one of the drinks smelled awful. The disposable cups that they provide smelled old and musty and just tasted disgusting. My son ordered a gyro and was missing the sauce. The meat looked burnt. I understand cost cutting but my main concern is the cleanliness and where they store these items. read more

Saw good reviews so I stopped by. The gyro meat is really tasty and the cucumber sauce is good totally different from any other place. The fries are fresh so they always hot. It's a small joint and it's family owned. Owner is very nice and greets all his guests. read more

The place is filthy, the employees are filthy. No masks, no gloves, NO CLEANING SUPPLIES!! Really the foods not bad but I couldn't eat it after seeing how nasty the place is. read more

Honestly, had I known the guy behind the register wasn't going to be wearing a face mask nor the guy cooking the food, I wouldn't have even entered. What blatant disrespect for your customers. read more

The guy taking money had no mask 2 days ago during a busy lunch hour - a definite deal breaker for us. Walked out.

Always pleasant to go here owners are very friendly Food is always fresh and hot tuna sandwich was amazing

Amazing burgers. High quality service. Open during COVID-19.... not a problem. Enjoy a great lunch or dinner at Wee-Dees in South Elgin, IL read more

Wee-Dee's - Wee-Dees View - Fast Food Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

They used to have really good Italian beef but I guess they changed the person who sells them the Italian beef because now it's awfu.l the hot dogs are so so... the burgers, the quality of the beef Patty is sub par I don't recommend it at all the only thing worth getting here is probably the gyro sandwich.. and that's only if they haven't messed with the tartziki sauce and thined out with sour cream. On a plus side they do sell beer. The polish is o.k. The bathroom is disgusting. read more

Killer gyros. Still, after all these years. Their onion rings are no joke either. I tried them for the first time yesterday.. can't believe that onion ring greatness was so close. I've eaten many onion rings in my life, and these are one of my favorites. I'm craving them already o_o read more

Wee-Dee's - Onion rings ftw - Fast Food Near Me - South Elgin, Illinois

Weed-Dee's will sling you a Hot Dog w/everything as quick as you just read this sentence. So frickin' fast that quality control apparently is not a thought or consideration. I'm not saying much more about a grease pit that serves you a disheveled hot dog on a stale petrified bun, other than the fact that Wee-Dees will serve this shit to you with a smile and will blatantly invite you to "come back soon". I've had better hot dogs, but assuredly..."never had one worse". read more

This place used to be good. The new location is bigger but filthy Floors are very dirty despite being new. Tables are sticky dirty. Windows are filthy you can't see thru them... the man behind the counter looks like he needs his diaper changed. All just a hot mess. Lost a loyal customer for sure! read more

First time customer. I got the ribeye steak sandwich meal. Everything was good. I wish the onions had been grilled and that the bun had been toasted with garlic. But, the price was great for the amount of food you get! I will definitely be back. read more

I came here in a rush for food. The staff was quick to take my order and the line wasn't too long. I ordered 2 gyro meals. A gyro meal consisted of a gyro, a soft drink, and a side of fries. Along with the 2 gyro meals, I also ordered 2 gyro sandwiches. I ordered them all two go and was on my way in a timely manner. When I finally 'dug into' the gyros (about 15 minutes after) the gyros were still warm and delicious. I'm a bit of a messy eater so my gyro kept kind of falling apart. Although I didn't stay to eat my food there, I did in fact make a quick scan of the place while I was there. The restaurant is quite small with about 30 seats. There were two wings, each has a TV. There was a restroom inside. There was NO outdoor seating, but they did have a fairly large parking lot for the size of the store. All in all, I had a great experience with the restaurant, staff, and food! I will surely come back to enjoy another delicious gyro or to try another item on their menu. read more

A Great little find for me I was craving a Gyro so decided to see what was around by my work, and when I saw the Vienna Beef sign I was like hey what this place ? and if nothing else I know I can get a Chicago Dog and fries so I stopped in here and got me a Gyro and Fries and a small soda think it was around $6 that not bad for lunch, and the Gyro was yummy and the fries were fresh and hot, and as my BF pointed out the other day we have not had bad fries here I don't know what it is but we always got bad fries in Seattle, plus I love all the places that have fresh cut fries here went back a couple days ago and had the Maxwell Street Polish, it was flame grilled to a nice crispy goodness and they put all the topping on it, just like a Chicago Dog oh so good I will be making this a regular stop for lunch I can see read more

Can you say Greasy Spoon in Greek? Based on one review here is my bottom line comment. DON'T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS. I only went in because most people on Yelp recommend this place highly, and I stopped in at the Village Offices and they recommended Wee Dee's, so I thought it must be delicious. FOOD COMMENTS: The pita bread was outstanding and honestly, it was a good value as a basic meal without fries or drink. But for my taste, there was too much salt and too much grease used to heat the chicken. My chicken pita was good. I would stop in again, if I was desperate, but I would ask them to fry my chicken dry without oil and I would take it to go. GENERAL COMMENTS: It's basically a tiny corner hot dog stand kind of place with seating for roughly 16-20 patrons. When I say greasy I mean windows, door handles, surfaces, and the food. I won't go into detail about the interior decor and state of cleanliness, but let's just say this place would benefit from a deep cleaning and a woman's touch. read more

My boyfriend recommended we order food from there and it was excellent they did change their location but they're still in a great spot and the food is exactly the same delicious as always. Thanks Lisa read more

I was visiting South Elgin for business and needed a nice hardy lunch. Wee-Dee's over promised. I ordered the Italian Beef , super dipped with hot peppers on the side. It was super delicious so flavorful til I did not need the hot peppers. I literally forgot about them. Yes, a hardy, satisfying and lean Italian beef. Excellent place for Italian beefs. They're so flavorful...very impressed! Oh, I greeted by friendly, super nice and accommodating staff or family members. read more
