Fat Johnnie's Famous Red Hots - Chicago - Photo album

The BEST Chicago Style polish I’ve had! The two owners were friendly and took our order promptly. Got 3 sandwiches and 3 drinks for under $22 ;) This will definitely be my go to place when I’m in town.

Been going to Fat Johnny's over 45 years. Was working at White Castle when they were at 71st and Western. Anytime l am in the area must have 2 cheese dogs with everything. Stopped by today still the same Great. Thank you for not changing a thing.

Absolutely delicious, a true Chicago hotspot. I absolutely love the original classic look of a hot dog stand. I highly recommend stopping here and getting a red hot. Best hot dog. The staff was extremely friendly. They did have several umbrella covered picnic tables to sit at which was really nice..

Nice little Hot Dog stand that's been there in the same spot for years. The more things change around this place, the more they stay the same. Same great tasting hot dogs as when I was a teenager. Prices are reasonable and u can pretty much step up and get ur food quickly. They have an outdoor seati

Great hotdog from a shack on the side of the road. Can’t beat that! The e tamales aren’t anything like what one thinks of tamales. I have never had a tamale with tomato and cucumber in a hotdog bun before. Worth the try and will revisit when back in Chicago.

Had the Red Hot 1/4 lb dog with cheese and all the toppings. If you want authentic Chicago dogs this place is a must try. Fast, cheap and tasty. 😋

Authentic Chicago Dogs, great prices (most dogs under $5), and fast service. The only extra I might have wanted would be outdoor seating, but it’s a sketchy neighborhood, so you’d be better off sitting in Popeye’s next door or leaving with your food like I did.

One of those hidden Chicago Gems! IYKYK! I hadn't been since before the Pandemic and it was as good as I remembered. The service was fast. The price was super reasonable. Cash ONLY. So bring your coins!!!

Awesome dogs! Wish they had fries but chips are fine. Didn't think to take a photo until I was half done with my dog.

Top 2 hotdog joints on the Southside. Probably the whole city for that matter.

The Best Polish you can get BETTER than Maxwell Polish. Very Friendly, Quick and the Price can not be beat!!!

Great hotdog place, but they really need to start selling fries if they wana compete with maxwells a few blocks north on western.

The best Chicago dog I’ve ever had. Cash only.

Low prices, GREAT food, fast service. The Mighty Dog is the most amazing dog in Chicago.

Venerable street shack, with just one small serving window set under a deep wide overhang. CASH only; no ATM, no receipt- your order is pencilled on your paper bag! I made the pilgrimage to sample a "Mother-in-Law", a rare Chicago oddity: an unwrapped meat tamale served in a hot dog bun, covered w

Wow! Been coming to this iconic redhot stand since they opened. As kids, we would ride here on our bicycles and eat at the picnic table. I'm 64 now and still have to grab and go a super fat and/or a father in law! Still the best redhots ever! Oh, yeah!
