    The Frips: There are no fries on the menu, instead the side of choice is freshly frips, which are extra thin, crispy, and fantastic.

    Free wifi, expertly presented dogs, always great music. Personnally I like the fries more, but DO NOT pass up the frips. Must stop in Lincoln Park.

    Great specialty dog spot all around. Check out the gourmet sausages, particularly the Buffalo and Elk without any modifications

    Chili cheese frips alone are worth a stop in but make sure to get a gourmet sausage like elk or venison & the t-dog to make it super special.

    All the food here is delicious, though they go heavy on the celery salt and seasoning salt

    If you like veggie dogs, get the Chicago Style. Music selection is also awesome.

    Expensive! They kept taking orders to the wrong table then the worker proceeded to argue with me. They tried to make good of it by offering a free soda but the attitude already ruined the meal

    A plucky little place. Diamond in the rough...maybe, I don't know, it may have caught on, I wasn't really paying attention

    Takes for ever for your order to be ready. The hot Doug is just whatever. Would not repeat.
