Tim MesserschmidtMarch 22, 2016The downtown dog tastes amazing - I highly recommend it! Make sure not to spill too much (or any ketchup) over your hotdog - it might get too sweet otherwise.
Chicago TribuneJune 26, 2012Food @ this River North spot is cooked fresh and the service is amiable. Carryout is the norm, but the grilled char-dogs, chicken wings, burgers and fries can be eaten-in at the limited counter space.
The food is always fresh and fast here. They also own pippin’s tavern next door
David KamererNovember 19, 2012Downtown Dogs shares its kitchen with Pippin's next door so you can have a beer with your dog
Elizabeth NicolNovember 10, 2017Don’t do it. Just don’t. We fell victim to location and convenience. These aren’t great dogs. The Chicago dogs are very low quality.. Buns fell apart upon contact with mustard and relish- mess!
Jonathan LeonApril 9, 2012Dogs and burgers were great and the sweet potato fries were amazing but the mold on the bread of the grilled cheese was not appealing
Bình HàNovember 11, 2016The dogs are good. But dont expect any service. They give free bags of chip which is nice.
Mary GazzeMay 28, 2010Downtown dog is boiled, Char dog is grilled. Make sure you order the one you want. Free bag of chips too
Order the Downtown Dog - its possibly the best Chicago Dog.
Haya Al DossarySeptember 5, 2013Juvenile employees, like literally teenagers, couldn't care less that I entered through the door, delicious char dog though, only cheese, use a lot of napkins, free bag of chips
