The service is good but be prepared to pay cash. Obviously the star of the show are the hot dogs and we were able to give them all a try.

If you know, you know. Yesterdog is a Grand Rapids staple, and you either love it or you hate it. I…read morelove it. It's known as being a late-night stop if you've had a few drinks, but I also like it sober. This isn't Chicago or Detroit, so don't compare them. Yesterdog is its own thing! The buns are steamed, soft, and squishy, and the hot dogs are not snappy. The chili is gloppy and salty, and it's honestly some of my favorite comfort food. It's super messy so be ready for a lot of napkins. New owners recently took over the spot but so far have kept everything the same, including only taking cash. Try your hand at the tip target and grab a seat at a lumpy booth. Enjoy the many photos and messages left by previous patrons. The menu is simple - hot dogs (my favorite is the cheddar dog), chips, and beverages. There is a system of ordering so read it on their website. And don't forget cash. (They do have an ATM on site now.) Metered street parking and paid parking lots are all over in this area.

The coney dogs were also great, no surprise there. The onion rings blew me away- the seasoning was delicious and they were so fresh and crispy. It was like if you turned funions into real onion rings I also got a chocolate milk shake to finish it all off and loved it. It was BUSY in there right when they opened on a Saturday- and seating is pretty limited. It might be a good idea to have a backup spot to eat if you're not planning on taking your food home. It was super fun inside though- loved the 90s decor!

The staff was so friendly and our food was ready in 5 minutes. The restaurant was busy but they kept getting food out pretty quickly. We were able to grab a booth in the front window to eat at the restaurant. I tried the classic Mad Dog and then tried two specialty dogs, the Don Ho and the Mac Daddy. The classic Mad dog was probably my favorite but the specialties were unique and delicious as well. The dogs have so many toppings piled on them that it gets quite messy but so worth it. My daughter enjoyed her plain corn dog and the side of mac and cheese. We will definitely be coming back.

How has it taken me this long to get here?! Seriously, it's…read morebeen on my radar basically since it opened, and I keep hearing about it, but just finally made a plan to try it out. My cousin and I sat at the bar, and you can get full service at the bar. She ordered a hot dog and I had a pizza. The hot dog came with that weird neon relish, in typical Chicago fashion, and was on a poppyseed bun. The fries are crinkle cut, and I don't know what seasoning they use, but it was so good! A little sweetness mixed in with the spices. The pizza was good; thin crust and cut square style like they do in Chicago, which I forgot about and kind of hate. I should've asked for silverware, but didn't. Next time I'd ask for it pie cut instead. The flavor was really good though. It was a bit pricey for what it was - it was a 12" pizza, and each topping an additional $3. $21 just seems high to me for a thin crust pepperoni mushroom pizza. I had draft beer and my cousin had a mixed drink. She had no complaints about hers, and mine was quite good! So many places draft beer tastes a little soapy, whether it's the way the clean their lines or how they wash their glasses, but I didn't taste any of that here. There aren't many choices on draft but was a good variety. They also have a full bar and lots of canned beverage choices. They don't have the healthiest menu, but that's not surprising since they're known for Chicago hot dogs, Italian beef, and pizza. If you know what you're going for it's perfect! The vibe is good. The space is pretty open, gets a decent amount of light, is clean, and there is parking! The restrooms are tiny, but clean, and I appreciate that after you wash your hands the door opens out so you don't have to touch a handle. We went on a Monday after work, which does turn into karaoke night, but we had time for a couple drinks and food before that really got going. It also wasn't crazy in there and we could still carry on a conversation at the bar without having to yell. I'm glad I finally made it in, and fully appreciate having them in the North Monroe area. I will definitely plan to have more happy hours here!

Cobb is my favorite type of salad and I am a bit snobby that I love blue cheese. I did miss that part but it was still amazing even with shredded cheddar.
