This place is half Redhot Ranch and half ice cream shop. The ice cream shop takes credit cards, the…read moreRedhot Ranch does not, but there is a weird ATM there to get cash if you don't have any. I have passed by this place so many times, so I was happy that I finally had a chance to check them out. The Redhot Ranch side is a no frills industrial design. And they are smashburgers, which I didn't know ahead of time and wish I did as I would have skipped it. Nothing says a good burger like smashing the ever lovin' crap out of it and getting rid if all the flavor, slapping a couple slices of cheese on it and whatever toppings you want to disguise the flavor of the meat. It was a messy burger. The fries were okay as well. Nothing to really say that I'm itching to go back. With so many burger shops around, skip this one.

How have I not stumbled on this place before? It's less than five minutes from home, but it's…read morehidden on a less traveled part of a less major street, kind of off the beaten path. I discovered it when looking through Yelp to see what else was nearby that I hadn't tried before. I've been there several times now, and so far have always gotten the Italian sausage. It comes au jus for dipping, and it's is flavorful, plentiful, an all-around delicious. Seating is okay - a little lumpy and aging, but somehow it adds to the charm of the place. Service is quick and very friendly. She even remembered me the second time I came in, and greeted me like an old friend. Parking outside, at least the times of day when we've been there, has been plentiful. There are also some gaming machines in a side room, for anyone into that. We're just there for the food, and will definitely be back many times!

The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

Flavors were on point, especially paired with the red and green salsas included. I split the carne asada fries as an appetizer. The portion was gigantic and definitely needs to be split with a friend! The horchata was delicious though quite sweet for me. My theory was that they hoped the ample ice would eventually dilute the drink down for takeaway. In terms of picking up food, the restaurant parking lot was a little difficult to get into at the time given a carwash nearby. However, the food was definitely worth the slight parking woes.

Don't sleep on their Kids Meals for your kids, it's a fair deal. There is plenty of parking but sometimes during lunch or 6pm ish, you may have to wait for a spot to open.

This time I got a burger and went for a double because a girl's gotta eat! It was the right choice. Great burger to bread ratio. The cheese was so melty and delicious. They have order kiosks at the entrance or you can order with a cashier at the front. I guess it depends how much you're avoiding people on which you prefer. It's clean and has spacious seating. The decor is typical of a Portillo's but I found the mannequin scene at the entrance quite interesting and I'm still trying to put the story line together.

The hot dog was pretty good, fries (Crinkle cut) were also good. Place was pretty crowded. Overall, I'd eat there again, if I'm in the neighborhood, but you have a go with the special of the day, or it's expensive. The cons? Seating was very tight. We sat at a table of 4, and our backs were right on top of the person in back of us. Also, service was slow, considering it was just a hot dog, but like I said, it was busy. It's in a strip mall, so it's a little hard to find the first time.

I am no stranger to Dear Franks of Niles; I visited it several years ago for lunch during one of my…read moresummer jobs in-between college semesters. Since then, I have off-and-on ordered from nearby restaurants yet with an interest in revisiting Dear Franks at some point. It was not until I recently discovered its veggie and plant-based items on the menu when I made it a high priority to visit, being that I am now a vegetarian. After attending training at my job which sits no more than a mile from Dear Franks, I made my visit. Its location sits along W Touhy Ave amongst a mixture of restaurants and shopping stores that are relevant to the community of Niles. I was acknowledged shortly after I walked in and up to the counter to look at the menu which was plastered above the counter. It took me some time to look at the menu because the menu online differed from the menu onsite above the counter. I had a taste for a veggie hot dog, but I did not see it featured on the menu above the counter, figuring that it was no longer an option at the time. So, I ended up ordering their veggie burger, fries, and a drink which was completed within several minutes. While paying, I could not help but notice Turano products near the register. Turano baking company, a family-owned bakery that produces authentic and delicious breads. I drive by Turano's daily enroute to my primary job and it is hard not to notice its building exterior, which has a commanding presence. Being that I have had the interest in visiting Turano's for some time now, I ended up purchasing a Turano - chocolate chunk cookie to go along with my veggie burger, fries, and drink. Maybe now after purchasing the chocolate chunk cookie, it will urge me to visit its location in Berwyn. I chose to dine-in at Dear Franks since I had plenty of time in my day, plus I figured that I still had time to beat the traffic on Edens Expressway enroute back to Chicago. The inside of Dear Franks appeared clean, and the atmosphere gave off a sporty vibe with pictures of Chicago sports teams, and iconic sporting moments in history of those teams featured. And there are a number of tables with seats available inside of the dining area, plus a television plastered on the wall near the entrance for viewing pleasure as you eat. The crinkle-cut fries were the first item I started off with eating. Though not as good as Portillo's crinkle-cut fries, ketchup certainly complimented them well. From that point on, I could not resist eating them all after the addition of ketchup. I moaned in enjoyment after my first bite of the veggie burger; it was garnished with everything I requested such as ketchup, mustard, lettuce, and tomatoes! It was very satisfying indeed. Taking note of everything I experienced: service, ambiance, and food, I have to say that it was a good experience. And with that I would gladly re-visit Dear Franks of Niles again whenever in the Niles area. Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Food: 5 ~Nourish your soul. ~ Thomas G

Stopped in for a donut and wound up getting breakfast besides. I ordered a pistachio donut, a…read morecoconut donut and a crème brûlée donut. All were very good. No, I didn't eat all three at once; it took a few hours. I think I liked the crème brûlée one the best. The custard was great and the sugar coating was outstanding. I ordered from the counter and service was pretty quick. The place was very lively and quite busy on a Sunday morning. Anyway, so I saw someone else get the chicken and waffles, and I said, I gots to get me some of those. So I did. So the donuts were 5 stars easily. Each one was great. The coconut and the pistachio donuts were not very big, but still an average sized donut. The crème brûlée was bigger. The chicken and waffles consisted of 2 rather large fried chicken tenders on a fairly big waffle. There was a light syrup coating the chicken. Very large portion for $13. My only complaint was it tasted like the chicken was fried in old oil that perhaps needed to be changed. I'm sure they go through a lot of fried chicken, fried potatoes and other fried fishes, but the chicken was darker than it should be and tasted like old oil. I noticed another person next to me who got fried potatoes, and they too, were very dark. Still, the chicken was good, and I consider this to be minor and maybe doesn't happen on a less busy day. I would go back if I'm in the Niles/Skokie area again, because there are other donuts and breakfast items I'd like to try. The price is very reasonable for the portions you get.

Disappointed by the doughnuts, seems like the recipe was tweaked to make them fluffier/less dense for more profit, as if they weren't expensive enough already.

I personally really enjoy the soy honey glaze. Keep in mind you can also order sauces for the side. We also tried out some kimchi loaded fries.

The kimchi itself was pretty seasoned and definitely more of a sauce-like consistency than I'm used to: different but still worked well with the fries and sauce. We ordered to-go, and the food was ready in a few minutes. Given how good the food was for us, I can't wait to go back and dine in. They seem to have a decent private lot as well for parking.

We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!
