    Bag "O" Fries
    Jacqueline F.

    Devil Dawgs is a fast food restaurant that's right by the brown line EL stop. They have a great menu that consists of beef sliders, hot dogs, chicken tenders, Italian beef, fries of course and many more. I've been coming here for a few years and also went to their old location years ago. If you're looking for a good fast food fix without going to your chain fast food joints, Devil Dawgs is a nice option to have. Came from a doctors appointment a few blocks away and after getting pricked with needles 6 times, I needed to treat myself so I thought of Devil Dawgs. Got the big Chicago style hotdog - cuz who puts ketchup on hotdogs??? It did not disappoint with the pickles, sport peppers, tomatoes and celery salt! I really love their fries as well. It's the perfect combination of hot and crisp and slightly burnt at the tips for that additional flavor. It's already nicely salted so all you need is ketchup! It is a little pricey for fast food as I don't believe they have combo specials available. Everything is a la cart. They do have a nice clean space inside to dine in. Both regular and tall tables are available. I suggest dining in because who wants cold fries??!!

    Recommend their Maxwell Street Polish! A staple hot dog to try in Chicago with their overtly green relish, pub/diner vibes, and easy order system on self-order kiosks. They offer good flavor and plenty of options in a non-frills manner, but the original can be a little dry.

    They load up the hot dogs! The coney dog I had didn't have much chili but had a boat load of shredded cheese. The sliders were surprisingly very good. Would get those again and come back to try a different hot dog. Also could've sworn they used to have more hot dog options. Still a cool place to check out!

    Big Chicago Dawg

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the reason it is sacrilege to put ketchup on a Chicago hotdog is that it will disrupt the harmony. If I've learned anything in my three months and change in the city, it's that Chicago hotdogs are all about balance This is why, thus far, the stand across from the art Institute has been unbeaten. Everything works beautifully together, and the celery salt is prominent and noticeable. With such perfection, who needs ketchup? While it wasn't at the level of needing ketchup, the Big Chicago at Devil Dawgs was an okay hot dog, but one where are the execution put it behind others I've had in the city. It comes back to balance. Namely, the applies to the mustard, neon relish, and celery salt. The relish was in over-abundance, which overpowered everything else with its salt and acid. Meanwhile, the mustard and celery salt were just wisps instead of a more prominent and noticeable flavor. The frankfurter itself also fell short. I find that a truly terrific hot dog has a bit of snap to it, and this one wasn't at that level. Thus, while Devil Dawgs may fit the bill if one is hungry and nearby, however, for a truly great Chicago hot dog, there are better places out there.

    Well well well... you've done it again devil dawgs! Another fabulous meal me and my partner enjoyed some delicious Weiner together. I got the coney w no mustard and they got the cheddar dawg!! We also highly recommend the cheese curds and milkshakes!! We got a chocolate Oreo shake w peanut butter to share the inside of this place is so fun and really adds to the experience! Not to mention kiosks for easy ordering!! we will be shashaying back soon

    The atmosphere was pretty cute for a hot dawg place. Staff was super helpful. The dawgs were darned good and the shakes, holy moly! Tater Tots and Fries were also good, but surprisingly it was too much to eat. I think that's a good thing. After a long day of running around, this was the perfect spot for a quick bite. It's also right next door to our hotel, so super convenient.

    Great convenient location, right underneath the red line. I've been meaning to try Devil Dawgs for some time now, and with a few locations around the city, I'm honestly surprised it has taken me this long. All the hot dogs, especially their "Devil Dawgs" are on the pricey side. Especially when you don't get fries with your order. The quality of the dog is definitely there though. They use all beef Red Hots instead of Vienna. I ordered their Blue Demons Dawg. I wanted something spicy, and this came with devil sauce, onion, sauerkraut, pickle, and spicy mustard. I was really hoping it was spicy, especially with their "devil sauce@ but it lacked any serious heat. Overall a really delicious dawg, and I can't wait to try a few of their other offerings.

    It's a a hole in the wall with a really interesting menu(see pics). It's also right next to the Belmont red brown green and purple line really convenient Tater tots is always a plus as opposed to the ubiquitous french fries. Having had the Icelandic dog in Iceland I can tell you the original us better, their version however is not bad at all. Onion rings on a hotdog is a good thing. Be warned as advertised the blue demon dog is spicy. The shake selection is also noteworthy.

    We stopped in at Devil dogs on a Friday evening and we had a good time. I really like the atmosphere and have cool pictures and drawings in a public art and stuff that I really enjoyed. I got couple chili dogs, cheese fries. It was good. My wife and kids didn't like the hotdogs because it was a snap type of dog but I liked it, I would go here again service cool fast to the

    Seriously not for the faint at heart! While in Chicago, it seems necessary to consume a hot dog or two.....so I found this place......whoa! The place is just a small little shop....decorated to look graffiti'd and plastered w/ pictures, posters, etc........while there I ordered something called a "Bulldawg".....what's that? How about a deep fried Chicago dog piled with chili coleslaw, & cheese! It was a mess of a hot dog (intended) it definitely was not health food, but it was tasty.....and yes, dogs are defiantly better in Chicago.....it was definitely a Vienna beef dog. No fancy presentation here....the dog is wrapped in paper. I also ordered a Milkshake while I was here......it was really one of the better milkshakes that I have had in a while.....extremely tasty. Check them out

    We went here with 14 middle schoolers and it was a hit! The vegetarian option was fantastic! The Shane's looked amazing, I'm bummed i didn't get one :( I'll definitely be returning!

There was a line but fortunately the wait wasn't long and I saw a table open up just after I ordered. Food arrived quickly. I got the mango snowcloud and it was huge! It's definitely around a 2 or 3 people's serving size. Lushious cubes of ripe mangos sprinkled with mango popping boba surrounded the mountain of soft, pillowy, creamy, mango milk ice, which was topped with mango ice cream, further drizzled with mango sauce.

We walked into a casual and modern space that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The interior is bright and clean, with a relaxed energy that makes it easy to settle in for a dessert without feeling rushed. The menu has a wide range of options, from shaved ice and mango sago to cakes and other fruit desserts, making it easy to find something depending on your mood. The mango mille crepe cake is one of the highlights and a great representation of what the shop does well. We ordered a slice and found the cake made with thin layers of crepe stacked together with cream and fresh mango, creating a texture that feels light while still being satisfying. The layers are soft and delicate, and the mango adds a bright fruitiness that keeps the dessert from feeling overly heavy or too sweet. The balance between the creamy layers and the fresh mango flavor made it feel more refreshing than a traditional cake, especially with the mango being ripe and fragrant. It was also one of the better choices for sharing, as the slice was generous enough to pass around the table. Beyond the mille crepe cake, the menu has plenty of variety with options like mango shaved ice, mango sticky rice, and fruit-based drinks. We appreciated that the desserts are presented carefully, making the experience feel more like a sit-down dessert stop rather than just grabbing something quick. The shaved ice was light and fluffy, with a good amount of mango and toppings that added texture without overwhelming the base. The fruit-based drinks were also refreshing and served as a nice palate cleanser between the richer desserts. The shop can get busy, especially after dinner hours, but the line usually moves along at a steady pace. The staff handled the flow efficiently, and the turnover was fast enough that even with a small wait, we were seated quickly. The seating area is comfortable, and the energy of the room stays lively without becoming too loud. Mango Mango Dessert is a solid Chinatown dessert destination if you are looking for fruit-forward sweets with a lighter, refreshing style. The mango mille crepe cake is a must-try for first visits and one of the items that best captures the appeal of the menu, offering a dessert that feels both visually appealing and satisfying to eat.

I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.
