If you're missing a true taste of Chicago, this spot absolutely delivers. I lived in Chicago for almost 5 years--my wife is from there and both of our kids were born there--so I don't say this lightly... this place brought me right back home. We ordered the classics: Chicago dogs, cheese fries, and the Gypsy fries. Everything hit. The flavors were spot on, and you can tell they're doing it the right way--no shortcuts. That snap on the dog, the toppings, the balance... it's legit. I also decided to try something different and went with the San Antonio dog. It was really good--definitely glad I tried it. Not sure it would be my go-to every time, but it's worth ordering at least once for the experience. The inside has that Chicago vibe too, which makes it even better. It's not just the food--it feels like a little piece of the city. 100% will be back. This is as close as it gets to Chicago without hopping on a plane. read more

Everything was fantastic!! The Italian beef sandwiches are phenomenal! It would give Portillo's a run for its money if it was located in Chicago. The workers were very friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. The pizza was also delicious. Perfect crust and toppings. I would recommend Chicago Hot Dogs to everyone. read more

I've always seen this place and thought it looked amazing, and I was finally able to stop by right before they closed and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the San Antonio hot dog and the chili cheese fries. The fries had the perfect texture, and the chili and cheese really brought everything together. The hot dog was packed with flavor the toppings were incredible and added so much depth, and the hot dog itself was outstanding. You could really taste the rich beef flavor, which paired perfectly with the toppings. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted. There was plenty of seating, and I loved the décor. The service was excellent, and overall it was a great experience. Will be back again read more

Chicago beef, great dogs, great people, this is your spot! Get it the way you want, just remember: ketchup does not go on on a hotdog (unless you are under the age of 5). read more

I accidentally found this location and decided to try it. The service was friendly and quick. The food is spot on! I came for the Chicago Dog and will be back for these chili cheese fries! I also want to try other items on the menu. I didn't go inside - I used drive thru so I'm not sure about the interior ambiance. But I will be back. And not just because I got a coupon from the rewards program. read more

This is the best deal in town for the Italian beef and by far the most legit. I ordered a half dip with dip on the side and the bread held the whole time. The hot peppers are actually hot. The beef was melting in your mouth, tender and you just got a ton of fries with your order my order I easily could've fed two people. FYI, if you can manage a puffy taco, then you can manage one of these as a full dip The service was prompt and I loved how Chicago the restaurant was. Almost put a pen on the mat, but I was only there for a year. read more

We wanted to try something new and this hole in the wall had great reviews. Parking was a little scarce since it was in a small shopping center and some businesses had reserved parking so be weary. Once we arrived it had a cute Chicago atmosphere and the menu was easy to read and the employees were very helpful with the menu. We ended up getting the San Antonio Dog meal, the Beef Sandwich meal, the chicken nugget kids meal, and a Chicago Dog on the side. The place was a little pricey, but the food was good. They did not have military or first responder discount, so that was a little disappointing. But over all, it was good. read more

Chicago hot dogs was awesome! It was our first visit because who doesn't love a good hot dog? When you walk in you're greeted warmly and the menu is easy to read and understand. The ambiance is very sporty with flat screen TV and sports memorabilia displayed throughout the restaurant! The hot dogs were amazing! Perfectly cooked and the fries can come with cheese and/or chili but are just as good plain! We will definitely be returning! read more

Tonight, hubby had dinner with the BSF men's group. Dad and I headed to @chicagohotdogsusa for dinner. This past Saturday, they celebrated their 3rd year anniversary with $3 hotdogs. Amado took my order, served us and check to make sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Monday Special, which was a Chicago hotdog, fries and drink. I got the Build Your Own hotdog for Dad since he prefers the American Dog with lots of relish. Dad and I shared the fries and there was plenty for both of us. Dad and I both had Lemonade. I also wanted to try the Italian Beef Sandwich. Meat was so tender from the few bites I had. The dipping sauce definitely adds flavor. Amado was explaining that making the Italian Beef is a 2-day process. First, it cooks for 4 hours the first day. The second day is when the chilled meat is sliced. I think this is the first time I've tried this. It's like Philly has its cheesesteak then Chicago has the Italian Beef. Chicago Hotdogs is part of the San Antonio Restaurant Gold Club. Check out the perks! The bonus when I got home is that Groupon+ informed me of the cash back I got from dinner tonight. Great dinner and cash back! read more

Whenever we are in San Antonio, my husband and I make it a point to have lunch at this great little family-owned and operated restaurant. Our relationship with the lovely family that owns and operates it started approximately three years ago when my husband needed to be at the medical center for treatment. Our route from New Braunfels on Wurzbach Parkway took us right past Jones Maltsberger Road, and one day we decided to try it. We have been customers ever since. They treated us like family, from the first visit. Everything on the menu is amazing, and it's worth a visit just to see all of the Chicago baseball souvenirs. (They are huge fans). read more

I wasn't too hungry however I've driven by this place many times. It was just on a whim that I wanted to give it a try. The hotdog was very good, the poppy seed bun was warm and super soft, the hotdog itself is a Vienna style dog, it had a good bite to it and was flavorful. I figured I'd try one of the simplest hotdogs to see if they could get it right. Because let's face it, if you can't get a regular hotdog right why be in the hotdog business. I'm glad to say it was very good, I was a little skeptical about the poppy seed bun but was pleasantly surprised. The bun gave it a subtle twist to a regular bun. I will be back to try the Chicago dog and the San Antonio style dogs. read more

Chicago Hot Dogs - Chili Cheese Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Mediocre hotdog for too much money. I was told I couldn't take the pico off the "San Antonio" hotdog because it's what makes the hotdog. As a customer I think my request wasn't overboard or too much to ask for. So I ordered different hotdog that wasn't anything special. Try the taco shop next door. read more

First time here. I wanted to see if the chicago hot dog hit the spot & it did not disappoint. It was one of the best we've had in town. We also tried the chili cheese dog which i thought was ok. The chili was excellent but was not a fan of the cheese (it was just ok) but overall still decent. The fries were fresh & tastey. We also had the italian beef sandwich whoch was wet but excellent. We will definitely be back. The staff was friendly. They checked on us a few times. Great experience. read more

Went through the drive through to try my first ever classic Chicago dog. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE HYPE! I have never been a hot dog person but I could see myself craving this one. Every element made sense it was the best hot dog I have ever had. Somehow they made a hot dog that is light and fresh. With the crunchy pickle and tomato and bites of pepper. I finally understand the purpose of a sweet pickle relish, I usually don't like it but it really balanced out the hot dog. The buns were really soft. read more

When I entered Chicago Hot dogs establishment, I saw the fun deco of Chicago memorabilia and banners. We were greeted with a friendly smile and welcome. My favorite banner there was of the House divided (Cubs / White Sox). They also included the Bears and Black Hawks. I was craving Chicago hotdog with most of the fixins (excluded onions, hot peppers and no ketchup). A true Chicagoian never puts ketchup on their dog. The fries were hot and crispy. OMG, the ingredients were spot on down to the poppy seed bun. My b/f ordered the 14 inch pizza with pepperoni which he devoured when we reached home. I will definitely be coming back to get my Chicago craving fix here! This place is fire! read more

Went on National Hot Dog Day Friendly service, fast delivery of the meal - we ate there. Hot dog was good - not really much else to say. Don't over think a hot dog. It is really simple - good or not good. This was a good hot dog. Pleasant sitting - A/C was working well. read more

Best Chicago dogs ever! Next time I'll get the Italian beef. So much better than Portillo's.

The ambiance has lots of decor from Chicago and a really cool mural on the wall. The atmosphere is very relaxed and family oriented. Everyone was very friendly and inviting. I talked with the staff and it felt like i was back home with my family. The food was excellent. I got the special with italian beef and italian sausage. The meat was delicious. The bread they use really brings it together. The french fries have a good crisp with a generous portion size. read more

Chicago Hot Dogs - Italian sausage with Italian beef roasted peppers on french bread with a small side of fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First thing I noticed was the restaurant was clean! The second thing, I was greeted by the owner who was cordial and polite. The third and final thing is the food was delicious. I had a taste for an Italian beef and didn't want to drive to another establishment, so I for the first time coming here wasn't a bad decision. They could've dipped it a little longer but next time I'll let'm know. After I paid he asked if I wanted to be part of the rewards program but I declined, laughingly he said oh you want to make sure it's good, and I said of course. Well it's good enough for a second visit. read more

I haven't been home in a while and my buddy who came up to visit is also a fan of Chicago food. I suggested one of our meals be Chicago based and when Yelp showed a place literally named 'Chicago Hot Dogs' it's kismet. I wanted an Italian beef, my buddy a Chicago style dog but after walking in and seeing their menu I was going to get more. They have the full range of Chicago foods and like I said earlier it had been a while. I told my friend that there were multiple items I was going to get, maybe we could split them? Instead of sharing the hot dog and Italian beef Lady and the Tramp style I asked them to cut it in half. They also had a Maxwell style Polish sausage so I asked for one of those and OH! Pizza puff! She asked if I wanted those cut in half too. Yes, thanks so much! The Polish was the tastiest but the hot dog was pretty good too-I could have used more celery salt on it, but that's a fine line. I could have used more hot peppers on the beef but they gave me more when I went back to ask for more. Overall, the food was good and the service was friendly and excellent. read more

Not bad , Super Friendly window person . We had a nice chat :) ... I ordered the San Antonio dog and it was quite delicious to be honest with you , the only thing I got floored with was when I pulled up and I saw the prices. It was a bit on the expensive side . I'm sure they have their reasons, but I almost drove off because I was shocked at the prices, I took a chance and yeah man .... Super Delicious !!! I would surely go back and if you need a good hot dog off Jones Maltsberger give them a try . read more

Let me start by saying I'm not really a Hot Dog fan unless at the ballpark watching a game. Had time between appts and decided to give Chicago Hot Dogs a shot since the other options are Mexican food near here. Warm greeting as you enter this little relaxed spot . Owner couldn't be nicer and helpful making sure you got your meal to your perfection . Well the food was reminiscent of watching the Cubs at Wrigley and great lunch specials under $10. Two thumbs from me - I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Popped in for lunch. Parking is a premium with so many restaurants in a space meant for store fronts. Love the artwork ... The space has quite a Southside pizza house feel when you enter. Each person had a different option. I went for the chili cheese dog of which the chili was awesome! Thick, flavorful! The side of fries was huge and sharable. We also had the San Antonio dog ... jalapeños and pico ... it was liked. I think that was the general opinion of the table that also had a cheese dog and a gyro. We liked what we ate but $6+ for a chili dog is sports arena pricing in a hometown restaurant. read more

What it not to love about Chicago Hot Dogs?! Love that it is a family owned restaurant with extremely friendly staff. You can tell as soon as you walk in that they absolutely love what they do & love their community. My husband ordered the Italian beef sandwich & it was absolutely perfect! Most places you have to tell them if you want you sandwich wet & they automatically do it here! I ordered the traditional Chicago dog with a side of chili cheese fries. Was an absolute 10/10! Restaurant was very clean & had a great atmosphere! Will definitely be back again soon! read more

Scrolling through Yelp I discovered a new place, just a sticks throw from Hops & Hounds on Jones Maltsberger called Chicago Hot Dogs. Several of the Yelp reviews raved about their SA Dog which is zesty sweet and savory. Be prepared it's a bit of a mess to eat but, if you have plenty of napkins and a fork you will absolutely love it. Chicago Hot Dogs is open at Noon on Saturday and Sunday and at 11:00am during the week. The restaurant is clean, the staff are very friendly making this stop well worth it. Give Chicago Hot Dogs a try for yourself, I'm certain you'll agree. read more

Food was good. On the pricey side for fast food and compared to other Chicago sandwich shops. Atmosphere is laid back. Service was friendly and quick and fries were fresh and hot. They do have a drive through, which is convenient. The only thing was that the server delivered fries on the table but then realized it was added on the wrong plate, he then removed the fries from one plate to the next tray. I would say: Rule of thumb, once delivered and placed to the table, please don't touch, remove, or take back, he should have just added the fries on the next plate. read more
