    Never had a Chicago style hot dog before and that was something on my Chicago bucket list during my recent trip. No idea how this compares to other places in the city but the one I got here was everything I hoped for and more. Top tier hot dog. Even if the bun was split in two and the whole thing was falling apart. My son got a cheese slider and we each got a drink and shared a small bag of fries. All together the total came to $26.05. It was incredibly crowded; it was hard to squeeze into the shop to order. But once we did, the food came out relatively quickly and we were lucky to get a table outside in the shade where it was quite pleasant. Just a block off of Michigan Avenue so easy to get to. Would definitely return the next time I'm in town and would recommend to others.

    Devil Dawgs was a great stop! Service was fast, there were plenty of menu options to choose from, and everything came out quickly. It's a small spot with outdoor seating, but it has a laid-back vibe that makes it enjoyable. The hot dogs were delicious, and the cheese curds were rich, buttery, and a perfect side. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving a great hot dog, this place is worth checking out!

    This hotdog place is a stand inside a building leading up to Navy Pier. We tried the local famous chicago hot dog. It was decent, and fast. We had no issues and it checked out box to try the chicago hot dawg. It happened to be a time in my diet when I wasn't able to eat seeds. Don't hate me but I traded the poppy seed roll for a pretzel roll. It was a good substitute, but I imagine the poppy seed roll would have been much better.

    Delicious. Chicago dog would maybe be better with a poppyseed bun but still hit the spot. Quick service.

    Recommended by a friend who is a local. Came around 12:30 on Wednesday early June. Ordered right away, not too busy. Was able to get a seat outside. I can see this place getting really busy, very popular. Ordered the Chicago dog, first time trying. It was amazing! Loved all the toppings. If you're really hungry order two. Fries were ok, wish I would have gotten the tater tots. Great place to come after walking along Michigan Av. and/ or visiting Hancock tower.

    When in Chicago you gotta try the dogs! Devil dawgs has a great selection of dawgs and also makes a darn good milkshake. Try them sometime service is quick as well!

    When in Rome, right? I was told by a local to not go to a chain restaurant for a Chicago hot dog. Locals support local here and I see why. The Chicago dog was not basic dog at all. It had plenty of toppings, most noticeable was the famous relish. I don't know how to explain it but there was an explosion of flavor in each bite. It's not something that can be easily replicated. Must be portions of the topping to dog. Definitely a must try. Also tried the burger just for a comparison or the experience. It was a pretty good size. Interesting flavor but not as much wow factor as the hot dog. Fries weren't anything special to me. On the soggy side which I know some people prefer. Standing room only inside. You're surrounded by others eating or waiting. Counter of condiments available to help yourself. Do not expect fine dining but expect good food.

    Chicago dog. Very colorful.

    Service was very fast. Hotdog was average, toppings were delicious. Tried the Chicago style. Outdoor sitting area, tables and chairs were clean.

    Didn't pay attention to any hype surrounding chicago hot dogs but went to try one and I get the hype now. These were freaking incredible. Icelandic dog was the best with the crispy onions. Green chili and cheddar dog was delish too what a classic combo. And the Chicago classic dog felt balanced and fresh. Need more now.

    I stand by my initial review of the devil dawg but I wanted to provide an update. The owner contacted me because my review of the devil dawg was not stellar and she offered to refund my order. Above anything else I can certainly appreciate the customer care. When I return to Chicago I'll be sure to have the Devil Dawg on Rush Street as a must go spot. I'll at least know this spot aims to please its patrons. Thank you Dena and I look forward to an opportunity to try the devil dawg again.

    Vegan Dog-Chicago Style

    Glad to finally lay hands on a Chicago style vegan dog. The bread was super soft, vegan dog was amazingly juicy and packed 20g protein. The Chicago style toppings were mega tart and acidic, with the relish being tart too, I enjoyed it, but thought it was a little too one dimensional. Definitely worth trying once, when in Chicago. Service was quick, you order up front in tablets. Everything's Togo with tables up outside for you to sit down and eat your togos.

    Food is served quickly, Clerk is friendly and takes your order quick. Casual ambiance. Wanted to try out Chicago Style, too me it tastes like any regular hotdog. I didn't order fries. I ordered the Hank beverage vanilla root beer.

    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!

    I've been hearing so much about Chicago hot dogs and decided since I was in town why not try one so…read moreI checked out Portilo's & Barnelli's Chicago that so many people told me to try. It is a pretty neat place when went in I saw that they have a lot of memorabilia all around the place. Also famous people have also been there with their autographs on their pictures. This place was quite busy which tells me that it must be good. It was very organized you can order your meal on a kiosk or at the counter. We decided to order it at the counter I ordered a famous Chicago hot dog which is an all beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun topped with chop onions, sweet pickle relish, tomato slices, dill pickle and a small spicy pepper with no ketchup but does have yellow mustard the price you could not bet it was very reasonable my guest ordered an Italian sandwich. After ordering the cashier gives you a receipt with your number on it and you step to the side. Then you wait until your number is called and that's how you get your order. Yes it was crowded but we waited for our two items for at least a half an hour which to me was unacceptable but besides that the place is really neat to try and the hot dog as well as the Italian sandwich was delicious definitely will be back again fingers crossed that we don't have to wait so long but the wait was worth it. They also have lots of seating around the restaurant. There is a second story as well you could sit up there.

Upon Arrival we were greeted by Host Gio and taken to our table we started with appetizers and drinks then ordered. My brother and I ordered sandwiches ( 1 Philly Ribeye Steak and 1 Chicken Parmigiana ) and shared a small pizza. The majority of our guests ordered the lasagna. I was starting to think they knew something we didn't . I can still remember every bite of the food, the pesto sauce on the sandwich, made every bite invigorating and had me in a hurry to bite again. We ordered an assortment of desserts that looked heavenly ; we passed around plates and smiles. Lastly We finished off with various coffee drinks. From A to Z Host Gio and Owner Nick made the most pleasant experience for my family and I. I will be returning to indulge in the flavors. I've already informed my Mother, My Lady, and Friends to expect to visit; it was that good

Our servers were still engaged with us even though there were many customers to attend to. They also helped answer any questions we had. Restaurant was clean and well organized. Music wasn't on loud and we felt comfortable in our seats. The food was alright. Upon tasting, we could tell everything was well made (fresh tastings, balanced flavors and fluffy bread) but it wasn't exactly outstanding or that much better than average. Maybe if we tried something else we'd enjoy it that much more but we don't know. Also something that was just a slight inconvenience was that the bathroom was on the second floor.
