    Chili Chz Fry
    Teresa O.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Staff are super friendly. Food is so fresh and tastes great. I wanted to try the chili cheese dog, which was good. The fries were also don't in chili and cheese. I personally liked the Chicago decor and environment. The restaurant was clean.

    A FREE Chicago-style dog with a Yelp check-in? Count me in! The dog was everything you'd expect from a true Chicago joint. Loaded with all the classic fixings and bursting with flavor. The hot Italian beef sandwich? Solid. Juicy, savory, and hits the spot Overall, worth a stop if you're craving a no-frills, authentic Chi-town bite!"

    Chicago Style Dog 8/10 Fries 8/10 I finally made it out and was not disappointed. The pickle was sour, it threw off the flavor but I was able to remove it. The fries were fresh and perfectly seasoned. I had been craving a chicago style dog and wanted to try a new place

    Dad with all the food

    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!

    Chili Cheese Dog

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I passed this on the way to my assignment location and began researching this spot. Some google…read morereviews mentioned they are F1 fans and Ferrari people. So I knew I had to check them out. I was able to make my way here on my last day in San Antonio in late March thanks to my flight being delayed and my oh my, I am quite impressed! The older gentleman taking my order at the counter gave me a big smile when I mentioned I heard you have this thing called the serious sandwich here. He told me that they do and then stated "You won't regret ordering it, seriously." Chuckling, I decided on a half order of that along with a side of potato salad and their side of beans. After taking my first bite, I realized the gentleman was right. This is a dope sandwich! Excellent cured meats in the salamar and pair of hams along with the provolone and melted cheddar with the veggies, spices, italian dressing, and mustard. The bread they use holds up well and has a slight crunch to it. If you prefer your bread to have softness to it, you may have to ask if they can substitute a different bread instead of the italian flat bread they use. But I absolutely love this sandwich the way it is! As for the sides, the potato salad has a slight mustard taste and right consistency with a dash of paprika on top; just the way I like it. The beans are charro beans (I think) that are served steaming hot with some pork trimmings mixed in; I may have dipped my sandwich in it a couple times for flavor explosion. What can I say, I'm adventurous! There's some ferrari memorabilia and posters on the right side where some of the high top seating is. As a Ferrari F1 fan, I appreciate them displaying this here along with the track map of the COTA circuit in Austin. The seating area is spread out nicely with plenty of seats/tables and a drink station with some random signs up. All of interest to consumers like us. Definitely recommend coming here for either the serious sandwich or other delicious ones like their meatball sandwich or manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try the other ones but I may just stick with the serious sandwich cause I loved it. SERIOUSLY!

    Have been, twice, taking the food to go. We were at the nearby vet so picked up sandwiches. They…read morehave lots of options for sides. The second time, I saw the reviews with 'skimpy meat' so ordered extra meat. They have chips, garden salad, mac salad, potato salad, etc. We were pleased. They put "dressing" (oil & vinegar m) on the sandwiches, which made them hard to eat, even in the car, so waited until we got home. Service was friendly. Did not eat in but used restroom.

    I stopped at the San Pedro Jimmy John's location after a long day at work. I was tired and all I…read morewanted to do was eat and go home to sleep. I really appreciate the staff, recognizing my fatigue and offering a free bag of chips which isn't much, but I really appreciated it. Thanks for getting my sandwich out quick and providing the little extra that goes a long way.

    (The Short Story Review, Continued)…read more After getting my "complimentary" Dasani bottle, I managed to get a laugh as I noticed the once oft advertised slogan on the back of the two wayward employees' uniform shirts: "Freaky Fast. Freaky Fresh". (-8) 2 customers, almost 25 minutes later? And our sandwich still needs to be made? Not so much, then, on the former claim. Unable to assess the latter claim quite yet. Finally, "Spicy Italian" also bends and snaps for his agua and leaves with his dinner. Only us now. Praise the sandwich Gods we are sharing one giant sandwich. Who knows how much longer two regular ones would have taken! Especially since the guy in training has asked me at the point of sale to verbally tell him what add ons I wanted, insisted he "got it" even though I told him it was a lot to remember. You got it. (-9) Customers are forced to pay for the sandwich before it is even made. Come to think of it, every other fast casual, create your own customizable, cafeteria style place requires that you pay for your food when it is finished, and not before. And of course the only place that makes you pay for it before is the only place where it would have made the difference. Because then customers would have the opportunities to escape when they realize exactly how long it's going to take! (-10) I hate to report I was correct when I tried to have trainee wait until he was making the sandwich to ask me to tell him what add ons I was desiring. No surprise, the manager now wants to know, again, which ones I want. And sadly, because of the blocked once customizable area, I was obligated to walk back to the menu in the front of the store to refer to the list. Before I get to the actual food, (+1) I do wish to compliment the cleanliness and cleverness of the dining area. I suppose the "cleverness" had always been standard for the "hipster" and "philosophical" brand image for them, and I have always taken pleasure in reading the various tin signs and the quotes printed onto some tables. Wish I could report that we had our food and all was forgiven. We were so hungry we started eating it in the parking lot, even though we had intended to go home. (-11) Soggy bread already, maybe because it took 20+ minutes to complete the sandwich "building" process! Meat was thin and much less generous in quantity than I remember. Vegetables were definitely less plentiful than other competitors, most notably the far more value friendly Subway. Even their most similar in taste profile competitor, last name Mike's, had ingredients that are notably fresher. They also only offer two bread choices, wheat and white (French). Also would have been nice if they could offer to heat the sandwiches. Bread was therefore cold and tough. Ingredients mushy and lacking in the freshness department. Well, there is the assessment of the latter employee uniform shirt claim, as promised. What else good can I say? (+2) Both men that served us were quite friendly. Theywere nothing but polite and seemed to be doing what they thought was best. I might have let this all go out of good faith if not for two things. One, I do feel a higher obligation to report the truth and maybe even warn my readers and other potential patrons. Secondly, the manager did highlight the option to provide feedback on the receipt and even went so far as to indicate it, even requesting, "Tell us how you like the sandwich. Go to this website, tell us how we did!" I wish I could believe he said this because he knew the truth and wanted to be held accountable for some less than stellar decisions made. But I am afraid the truth is that he has no idea how badly he did and I therefore feel it is the right thing to do to let him know. Alas- previously perfectly pleasing purveyor of palatable sprouts, how you have plunged into the pit. (The End.)
