Let's hope they feel as strongly about being faithful to their spouses as they do the no ketchup on hot dog thing.
Yvette DelgadoAugust 18, 2013
Fries were delicious. But I'm not a fan of the skinny little hotdogs.
Brendan ChaplainDecember 2, 2011
Great dog and awesome atmosphere. Don't even think about asking for ketchup
Bruce Winche'llJanuary 25, 2013
Ok steamed hot dog. The area is run down like hot dog stand. I think it is better in childhood memories than it really is. As an adult making a first visit it's just ok.
Sithfredo RiveraJune 20, 2012
BRING CASH and Don't ask for ketchup. They will tell you to go to the McDonald's next door. Don't believe me. Try it.
Juan CONEJODecember 9, 2010
My tip only posted half what I typed. I get my hotdog plain and use Heinz ketchup that I take when I know we are going to stop in.
Leo MarquezOctober 13, 2015
One of the best hot dogs in the whole city ...
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 13, 2012

Hot dog and fries. A Chicago institution.
Ryan GilmoreJanuary 3, 2011
Two hot dogs (don't ask for extra fries) and a large cherry coke = $6.68 well spent
Nilednam TraNovember 19, 2011
Be prepared to stand in line and bring cash. But it's worth it!
Tania SarenacFebruary 26, 2011
The fries are better than the red hots. Not a big tamale fan either. Wish they sold beer to curb the greasiness. AND didn't ask for ketchup yet what happens if you do?

You know the rule: don't bring your ketchup in the door (but keep in your car!). Cheapest and best hot dog's I've had -way preferred to East Coast dogs. Always get some on the way back from O'Hare!
