This place was great. A cool atmosphere and food was very good. Chicago style hot dog was best I ever had and Italian beef sandwich was tasty with added hot peppers.

Place is clean and had many open tables. Food is good for fast food... I love the fries... and little pricey. The service was replaced with kiosks for ordering and it did not give receipt so I was not sure if my number and they call the orders that are completed by the number so I had to keep asking what the food was and not the number

The Chicago Dog is a comfort food. From time to time, I talk with Chicagoans who have relocated to other parts of the USA, and they all say the same thing. "I can't find a decent hot dog anywhere"
They serve the dog on a poppy seed bun (since Covid, a lot of hot dog joints are cutting corners with no-seed buns... it's annoying)
Ample parking, lot's of seating. Good customer service,... starting to become my go-to when I need a hot dog fix. Now if only they offered sweet potato french fries and cole-slaw. Even so, I'll live.

Once again, forgot an item I had ordered from the drive through. This is the 3rd time it has happened. I cannot support this business anymore.
