My friend was visiting from San Francisco and she wanted to try a Chicago dog so I took her to Devil Dawgs. Devil Dawgs makes the best Chicago dog I've ever had! So fresh and flavorful. She is pescatarian so it was awesome that she was able to get a veggie dog Chicago style. She also had the Icelandic Dawg which she said was very good as well. My Chicago dog came out very fast but her veggie dog took about 10 minutes. I love how the location is close to magnificent mile so it was easy to grab the dogs then go back to shopping. If you need to take someone to get a Chicago dog I highly recommend Devil Dawgs! read more

I ordered the 5-piece chicken strips with fries, a side of cheese sauce, and the devil sauce -- and wow, this hit exactly how I needed it to. The chicken strips were perfectly crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. You can tell they're made fresh -- not dry at all, just tender and flavorful with that golden crunch in every bite. The fries were just as good -- hot, crispy, and the perfect base for that cheese sauce. Speaking of the cheese... so smooth and rich, it honestly made the whole meal even better. And the devil sauce?? SO good. It has that perfect balance of heat and flavor -- not overwhelming, but definitely gives a little kick that keeps you going back for more. Everything together was just one of those simple but so satisfying meals. Perfect portions, great flavor, and exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food. Definitely would order this again -- no question. read more

Extremely fast service, order done in like 2 min at most! I'm not a hot dog connoisseur but good crisp dogs. Had the coney island which had chili, cheese and onions. A little more onions next time pls. Also tried the chicago dog: crisp, juicy, crunchy, sour and the celery salt makes it! Like the relatively small size dogs so you can get multiple different ones to try different flavor combinations. read more

While a classic Chicago dog is an essential eating experience, I gotta hand it to Devil Dawgs for elevating that experience by making the all beef hot dog a spicy one instead. That coupled with the many additional varieties in flavor in toppings may have changed the way I'm currently thinking about hot dogs. The outdoor seating was great, some counter space for a quick bite inside but that was mostly crowded by the long line of people pushing in to avoid the cold. Very enjoyable and quick experience. read more

While traveling to Chicago I knew I had to try a hotdog, saw this place and decided to try it, I order a bacon sausage hotdog with mustard, when I first came in the shop was very small and it was packed so I knew it was going to be good, the staff was super nice and told me their most popular items. All my friend order something different and all were delicious. I was impressed when I saw they had a veggie hotdog, we have a pescatarian friend so she was so happy she could also join. The place was super clean, I will say there is limited sitting since it's a small establishment but overall it was a quick spot for us so we did not mind, I will be coming back if in Chicago!!! Try it read more

Fresh cut fries will forever catch my attention and these were perfect! Fries were fresh, Chicago Dog was good, but not the best. You order at a kiosk and wait for your number to be called. There's no inside dining, but you can eat outside on the patio if you can find a spot. Would definitely return for other items. The chicken tenders seemed popular as well. Oh they have milkshakes as well! Go check them out read more

Door dashed these hot dogs for a late afternoon lunch and was NOT disappointed. Chili cheese dogs. Amazing. Chicago style dog. Delicious. Green chile dog. Phenomenal. We ordered sliders too but haven't eaten them yet... still full from the hot dogs. If this is how Chicago hot dogs are supposed to taste...the Chicago style ones I've had in Houston are missing the mark. read more

I'm not usually the biggest fan of Chicago style dogs, I prefer a Coney Island style dog. But when in Rome, I had to try their signature dog! I stopped the to grab a dog at this unassuming take out restaurant. Pretty divy and simple menu with just the classics. Service was quick and friendly. Hot dog was ready in about 5 minutes. I took it back to my hotel to eat. Hot dog was fantastic, loaded with all the traditional toppings. Hot dog had a nice snappy casing. Bun was soft. Definitely one of the better hot dogs I've had in Chicago. Can't wait to return! read more

Interesting concept of the Chicago hot dog, but it's just not for me. To preface, I really don't eat pickles. But, to experience Chicago, I ordered one and tried it. It wasn't too bad, but the pickle was bigger than the hot dog. The flavor was alright. This is more of a super quick bite than some place to sit and really enjoy. The waiting space is small and the seating is limited outside. I think my whole experience here was about 5 minutes of waiting and 1.5 minutes of eating. Then I headed out. Not a bad place but not somewhere I would walk specifically towards. read more

Awesome food and great restaurant. The ambiance was good, it's pretty simple for a grab and go. The food took a little bit but it wasn't super long and the food was definitely worth the wait.

Devil Dawgs! First time trying a Chicago Dog. I was skeptical. Let's jump right into this review. What did I have - Chicago Dog - Mustard, Onions, Relish, Pickle, Tomato, Sport Peppers & Celery Salt - $5.50 It was epically delicious! Those sport peppers were the hit. The question I have is - How is the relish so green? I love it. That color gives the hot dog a pop of color. Bag of fries - $4.50 Pros 1. Large selection of hotdogs, plus they sale burgers, chicken, fries, and onion rings. 2. Made to order #freshfood. 3. Great customer service. Cons 1. No inside seating. 2. Cashless - I am not a fan of cashless places, but, your girl walked here so, I wasn't leaving without a Chicago Dog. Overall, I'll be back to try another Chicago Dog and something else because Devil Dawgs has options. I won't say pull up Chicago because it is evident that Chicago is already pulling up. read more

Very solid hot dogs, location is great and prices are reasonable considering the Gold Coast address. Highly recommended- I like it even more than Portillos. Please get all the topics if you can handle spicy, lots of neat flavors packed in each bite. Pickles and relish are a must. You have to add your own ketchup/mustard as those toppings are not customary. read more

We were walking around after our Mobs and Crime Tour during our most recent visit after a company picnic and saw the interesting sign for Devil Dawgs. We love a good hot dog and needed a quick lunch so this looked promising. Service was fantastic and they were slammed that afternoon but they kept the ball rolling and people getting out of there relatively quick. We got our standard hot dogs, don't remember the names but mine had cheese on it and it was pretty solid. Nothing insanely unique or memorable but I very much got what I needed from it in that moment. Quick lunch, yummy hot dog and on my way! read more

Shoutout to my friend for showing me Devil Dawgs cuz wow what a find! The spot is tiny, so ordering can get a little hectic when it's busy, but trust me, it's worth it. I went for the Big Chicago Dog and wow it really hits the spot! The staff behind the counter is awesome, working fast and keeping the energy up. If you're in Chicago and love hotdogs, this place is a must-stop! read more

Came here on a Friday evening. Ordered online and that was a great idea because the restaurant was packed by the time we got there. We were able to get a table outside. There are a few high chair seats inside, but tough when it's crowded. Got a Chicago dog, a Maxwell Street Polish, and a strawberry Oreo milkshake. First time trying either type of hotdog. The Chicago had a lot of sour/tangy elements. The peppers on the polish were spicier than I thought they would be. The hotdogs were great, had a nice snap to the casing and good flavor. We split both hotdogs between three people. The milkshake was so good. read more

Was craving a Chicago dog while in the Magnificient Mile area, and found this gem! We got the Chicago Dog and the Big Chicago Dawg. I personally liked the smaller Chicago Dog better cuz it was easier to eat and the ratio of the hot dog to bread was perfect. But both were great and I'd recommend. We ordered inside and ate it outside. Super quick snack that was so satisfying. read more

While the food was tasty - it was a bit cold and items fell apart making it challenging to eat. Definitely a good to stop to compare against other hot dog joints. The staff was friendly yet a bit monotonous. Really funky indoors with seating outdoors. In winter - you won't be able to enjoy a meal here bc there's only counter space. read more

I tried the Icelandic Dawg, Its Not a Corn Dawg, Bag "O" Fries with Cheese Sauce, and The Classic chicken sandwich. All of their food was great! I had them in the Vegan style hotdog and they came out amazing! I had the It's Not a Corn Dawg when I first arrived to River North and it was so good that I knew I had to try the other menu items before I left! The Icelandic Dawg was next level and their fries are really good. The chicken sandwich was ok, but I guess the main attraction are the hot dogs! The staff is super friendly and it's a nice a cozy hot dog restaurant! If you're ever nearby I'd highly recommend this place! read more

I was craving a Chicago dog and this was convenient to our subway stop. This is a pretty cool spot with a massive menu. They had some high top seating along the window but most customers were taking their food to go. The line was short and I was enjoying my food within 5-10 minutes. They had no problem making a plain dog with ketchup for my 3 year old either. The Chicago dog was exactly what I needed and it was delicious. The bun did fall apart pretty fast but that was my only complaint. It was a true authentic and traditional Chicago dog. They also had a great drink selection in the cooler and he gave me a colder one from behind the counter. We will definitely come back again. read more

I love my Chicago dog and every time I am back in town I get my fill of it. Always liked Devil Dawgs and the place never disappoints. I always end up at the Gold Coast location and it just feels right. Nothing fancy about the place. Walk in and order on the kiosk and wait. You can eat on their patio tables or dine inside at the window bar top and enjoy the AC. The Chicago dog with everything on it is the best way to enjoy a a hot dog and nothing comes close to it. If you are around the mag mile, come down to Devil Dawgs and grab two.....otherwise you may end up in line for a second one after you down the first one! read more

Just a tourist exploring Chicago dogs... I have actually been here twice and after the 2nd (more positive) experience, I think I can say they do excellent hot dogs here. LOGISTICS A convenient location near Magnificent Mile that is across for the Water Tower Place. Order at the counter and food is cooked to order, otherwise there is an option to order online. No indoor seating as the inside is purely for ordering / waiting for your food order. There is limited seating outdoors but something to keep in mind if the weather is poor. People are really good about eating their food quickly and shuffling, so please be considerate and wait for your food to show up before saving a table. Slight disclaimer... the speed in which your food come out may be hit or miss... I have only been here twice, but during my last visit on Memorial Day, our order took over 45 minutes for 2 Chicago Dogs and fries from when I ordered. Had I reviewed this place back then, I would have given it 3 stars because no hot dog is worth waiting that long. It didn't even look that busy during our visit, as 3 other parties before us were waiting similar times. Fortunately on my 2nd visit in the fall, the food only took about 10-15 minutes for the same order... so it must have been bad luck that Memorial Day. FOOD Chicago Dog: Hits all the marks for a Chicago dog with the pickle and onion - I think it had more finesse than what you get at a Portillo's. Good snap on the hot dog (advertised as locally made) and great pickles! Big Chicago Dog: Honestly the same as above but with a much larger, meatier hot dog. A good option if you want a bigger hot dog in general with the Chicago fixings. Bag "O" Fries: Chicago sure likes it French fries with hot dogs... of the fries I tried during my visits. They're soft with a slightly greasy texture and light seasoning... but they still have a crisp end that makes them addicting. If you've ever been to Seattle, they're reminiscent of Dick's Drive-In fries. For 2 people, one Bag "O" Fries felt like enough. OVERALL Glad my 2nd visit to Devil Dawgs was a lot more positive than my Memorial Day visit. It was a nice option for exploring local eats as a tourist... especially as I explore Chicago dogs. It costs a little more than Portillo's, but the quality is better which you are paying for, and I think they have better French fries than Portillo's. read more

I ordered Devil Dawgs on DoorDash after not eating all day, so I was definitely hungry and excited to try a variety of things! Here's what I got: * Two Devil Dawgs * Two Sliders * Cheese Fries * A side of their signature Devil Sauce For the hot dogs, I tried the It's Not a Corn Dawg, based on a friend's recommendation, and it was my favorite thing I ordered. If you're getting a hot dog, this is a must-try! I also got the Chicago Dog because I wanted to see how theirs stacked up, and it was solid--classic and satisfying. For the sliders, I went with the Bacon and Cheese Single Slider and the Elvis Slider. The Elvis Slider caught my attention because it includes peanut butter, which I had to try. While it was unique, the peanut butter was a bit underwhelming, and it tasted pretty similar to the regular Bacon Slider. Both were good overall, but I'd probably just stick with the Bacon Slider next time and/or try another one they're too similar. The Cheese Fries were great--tons of fries with plenty of cheese. As for the Devil Sauce, be warned: it's spicy! If you like heat, it's a great addition, but keep that in mind if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, I'd say Devil Dawgs is right on par with Portillo's, but it's a nice change of pace if you want specialty hot dogs and some interesting options. It is a little pricey, but for the quality and variety, I think it's worth it. No reason this place shouldn't get five stars! Highly recommend trying it out! read more

I ordered a couple items via UberEats and was very pleased! This was my first time having a "Chicago-Style" hot dog (vegan version) and I thought it was packed with flavor. The relish was an extremely green color, not what I was expecting but it tasted great. The pickles and sport pepper were great in balancing out the saltiness of the sausage. I also tried the Bag O Tots with a side of Awesome Sauce and Ranch. Your typical tots, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. If I was in Chicago again, I'd come back to try other variations of their vegan hot dogs! read more

4 out of the 5 times I've gone, they mess my order up. Plus it's expensive. I won't be returning.

If you are an outsider, and you're looking to make your Chicago experience whole, look no further. Devil Dawgs was so good and well worth the money. I had a Big Chicago Dawg and the toppings brought it to life as they were very fresh. We also ordered a side of fries and onion rings. They weren't as good as the dogs, but still worth ordering - especially with the Awesome Sauce. There was a little wait and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful weekend weather. Give this place a try - it won't let you down. read more

This is a great place to eat if you're looking for a great hotdog, burger, or sides. We had a large group and everything we ordered was good and fresh. The place is very small and cramped so it's geared for takeout, there is outside seating but unfortunately it was too cold the day we went there. The service there was great and the man taking our order was helpful. What I really appreciate about this place was that they didn't forget anything in our order. We had a very large order, over $70 worth of food. We added sauces to try and several apps. We had a total of 3 bags that were completely filled and our order was 100% correct. We had hotdogs, 2 different types of sliders, chicken tenders, cheese curds, and cheese fries. All of it was great. read more
