What a perfect first experience to the Chicago dog! Instant first impressions were a friendly smile and warm service, and a delicious smell! The shop is small and quaint, but the food was out of this world. Delicious beef, fluffy seeded buns, incredible relish and peppers and tomatoes- amazing! But the fries... Hands down the best fries ever! I don't know what the secret is, but I will come back again and again! Thank you so much!!!

I always stop here on trips the Chicago when staying at Lincoln Hotel. The Bacon hot tog is great. The fries are very crispy. The owner will make you feel at home

This place served me one of the best hot dogs I have ever had. I really liked the fresh toppings that they put on the Chicago style dogs. I really love Portillo's hot dogs, but I think this place might be even better. The fries are also very crispy and delicious. I strongly recommend that you eat here at least once if you like hot dogs.

Absolutely fantastic place!! Dogs are mouth-watering and the fries are out of this world. It's CHEAP and soooo delicious! Jack, the owner, is such a great guy - very sassy, funny, and amenable. Loved this place and will for sure return. Best place for hot dogs in Chicago, and they know it.

The best Chicago dog and the best French fries!! Seriously I wonder what kind of oil they use for the fries, they are perfectly crispy and slightly seasoned and come in a nice big quantity - great for sharing or indulging. Lucky to live nearby for late night bites, the menu is big but can never bring myself to order anything other than a hot dog.

The best Chicago dog I've ever had...as good as (maybe better than) Portillo's. Outstanding flavor and value! And the service was phenomenal; just the owner (and his girlfriend) were there and he treated my son and me like we were good friends/family! He truly loves his business and cares about what and who he is serving! This is definitely a new "must-go" spot when we come to town!
Thank you!! (Neil's mom😉)

They have a great Italian beef. The portion size is very large. Very fresh and their fries are awesome
I've always seen the owner working and he really wants to ensure you're happy with your meal.

After 27 years, this is still an institution for perfectly prepared Chicago-style dogs. All the ingredients are presented like a food stylist is on site. John truly cares about his customers and the quality of the food. Try the home-made big and brats too when you get a chance. Genius!

Literally the nicest people I've ever met. The food is delicious. I felt welcome and enjoyed conversing with the owner. I live in Logan and consider this a place worth the commuting to regularly.

Hot dog was great and wasn't diggin the fries too much. Manager saw my dissatisfaction even without me saying anything and was super polite and offered me something in its place. Great customer service! I recommend!
Greg Brown
Great dogs and even better sausages!! But imo the jewel of this establishment is their fries, hands down I've never had better. Owner is both a delight and a comical riot. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

Out of the many hot dog places in Chicago this is one of the best ones around. They have a selection of different kinds of dogs, even rattlesnake which I have never even imagined. The place is cozy inside and has a massive board of choices. Even so I'm a purest, I had to get the Chicago dog and a Maxwell Street sausage. The toppings were tasty and the onions on the Maxwell were grilled to perfection. I also ordered some cheese fries that came topped with the classic cheddar cheese sauce, grated cheese and fresh diced jalapenos which was a nice bonus. If you are around Lincoln park go here and then go listen to some great Chicago blues at B.L.U.E.S just around the corner.

Three words: Homemade Italian Beef.<br/><br/>I stopped in today to scout for the 8th Annual Italian Beef Crawl. The first question I asked when I came in was if they made their own beef. The owner was proud to say that they made their own beef, trimmed it themselves, made their own peppers, made their own sausage, and made their own pickle. As we tested out this beef, the presentation was spot on - a sandwich beautifully dipped with glistening peppers. It was love at first bite and the owner was kind enough to let us sample the homemade sausage and pickle. We have a serious contender for the 2015 Italian Beef Crawl!

Decent food, terrible management and service. Took 40+ minutes to get food and we were the only people in the restaurant. Cash only operation is convenient for the owner who provides no receipts and charges as he wishes, then denies that you ever ordered food. Owner told us not to come back when questioned about status of food ordered 30 minutes prior.

AWESOME!!!. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The beef is incredible, the combo is even better and the DOG is a favorite. 5 stars all the way!

Awesome Dogs and Fries. This place has some of the best classic Chicago dogs in the city, and THE best fries. Their burgers are also incredible. My wife and I will pass by many inferior dog-and-burger stands (you know there are tons in Chicago) just to get to this place. Not a lot of seating, but enough to be comfortable, and the best is the giant front windows for people-watching out on Armitage.

Classic char dogs and burgers, awesome fries. Sit in the front window for good people-watching.

This was your basic Char Dog with Chicago style toppings, but not only did it look good, it also tasted quite good.

It's the holiday season and while Black Wednesday might be past us, there's still many more parties to come. Let me start off by apologizing that I haven't gotten around to getting another beef scored up over at "Beef With Hot" I've been busy with chibbqking here and just haven't had the time. But like I said last time I said this, I have many spots waiting to go up and will get to many more this winter. So today we head to a hot dog stand in Lincoln Park called The Dog Joint that I just featured over at What's Your Beef. They've been over on Armitage for a couple years now and it's a late-nite favorite of heavy drinkers in the area.
