food was awesome! (always is) love the retro vibe feel of the restaurant, neon lights n all. Service was also flavorful, people super nice. Chicago style hotdog can never miss!! Also nice touch w/ the onion rings in a cup read more

Tried the one on State and now this one. Enjoyed the seating, not to loud, service was good at 1130am...matter of fact they were patience with my older friend eating with me. The Chicago Style Hot dog was good. Found it interesting they didnt offer cheese burgers but DID offer sliders. This spot was good overall. read more

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??!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

ATTENTION VEGANS! THEIR FRIES ARE COOKED IN BEEF TALLOW! I hate to call this place out because I genuinely love the food here, but I honestly had no idea that a lot of fast food places cook their otherwise vegan items (fries, tots) in beef tallow, making them no longer vegan. I love their vegan Chicago dog, however! Excellent! read more

Food was delicious and service was AWESOME! I had the Not a Corn Dog and it had a nice little kick to it. We also had a chili dog, bacon cheddar dog, and Chicago dog. All were delicious! The fries and cheese curds were good too. They accidentally gave us an order of onion rings instead of cheese curds...immediately fixed the issue and told us to keep the rings, which were also delicious! read more

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 read more

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. read more

Great food and fast service. I had the chicken sandwich which was amazing! I will be back next time that I'm in town!

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. read more

Service was great food was good and the space looked really cool. Will definitely go back on my next trip

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. read more

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 read more

This location is right off the Belmont stop and I have been anxious to try this place for a while. I'm a connoisseur fries so I decided to order some. I asked the cashier if they were crispy and he said yes and after spending more than five dollars for one order for sale to disappointed, they were very soggy. I guess I'll stick to the wiener circle. read more

Another location of this place for hot dogs. Devil Dawgs has a few locations and this is the Lakeview one. It has a lot of hip places to eat around here and it's full of commuters and tourists. Even if you don't want any hot dogs you can still get something else. There's hamburgers, and they have a few vegan friendly styles. I got a vegan hot dog and actually found room inside to sit and eat. It was lunch and it was pretty busy, but there were a few tables inside. The menu is mostly hot dogs unsurprisingly. Many styles of these to choose from. There's of course the famous Chicago style, and many other kinds that are quite similar. It also has the choice to replace any hot dog sausage with a vegan one. This is a good way to not get that nasty stuff they put into these. I had a Chi-Talian. It's about $6.50 for most hot dogs. That's kind of a lot. It at least is kind of big. There's also lots of good toppings. It's a variation of the Chicago style with a few important changes. This has cheddar, giardinera, mustard, and onions. It's vegan without any cheese. This is one of the more popular styles. Check out this location for a hot dog before going anywhere else. It's located just next to the Belmont Brown and Purple Line station. The seating is pretty limited so most people get takeout. read more

It's my first time having a Chicago hot dog. Surprised how well all the toppings go together as I'm use to NY style hot dogs. Very tasty. Very messy. Generous toppings and filling for a snack. Would definitely stop by again! Service was quick and kind. read more

Service was good and fast. The vibe of the place is awesome with amazing stock images of celebrities eating hotdogs and cool murals on the walls, making it a perfect bite after a night out, ball game, or concert. Nuggets ice is an added plus! A classic Chicago dog was a great way to end the night. Would recommend the expansive and casual menu to anyone looking for Chicago eats. read more

Well....if you like stale bread and cold hot dogs... This is your spot! Better off gettin a 7/11 hot dog! read more

After a long day of apartment hunting, my partner and I needed a quick lunch and after walking past Devil Dawgs earlier in the day, I was craving a good hot dog. I ordered a classic Chicago dog and Diet Coke and could argue that I didn't have a better meal in Chicago than this hot dog. With all the classic fixings, the dog was both warm and toasty, while being fresh and tangy. My partner was a bit hungrier than I was and ordered the chicken sandwich, which was quickly devoured. We also ordered a bag o' fries which was more than enough to split and well worth the order. This will definitely become a staple for a quick, cheap meal when we move into the neighborhood. read more

Came to get the chicken tenders after hearing great things about them and they were just okay. They hit the spot for what I needed, however I think I will just go elsewhere as they were nowhere near what I was expecting. For example, I expected them to be super crunchy based on what I was told and they were just alright. Service was good. read more

The Chicago dog was subpar,very chewy and bland tasting. Wrigleyville dog and Portillo's have more flavor. Devil dogs has a cool ambience, but I'd go elsewhere for a good dog. read more

From what I've read, Devil Dawgs is related to the old Demon Dogs that was on Fullerton, which was right next to DePaul (Blue Demons). But when the CTA expanded the Fullerton train station, Demon Dogs went away and as a result, Devil Dawgs was born. I believe that's right but to my meat encased aficionados - please feel free to fact check me. This particular location (there are 4) is very convenient, just East of the Belmont Red/Purple/Brown line. You can stop by here and grab a dog or two before walking home. The decor is cool and it's quite deep and spacious for a hot dog joint. I've enjoyed eating here and outside - in my car (practicing that social distancing). The $5.50 hot dogs are pricey but well worth it. So are the sliders, very good - zero complaints. Warning - The Chi-Talian dog may be a bit spicy because of the giardinera peppers but that's ok. The Big Chicago Dog is really good and is a great representation of a beefy dog. I can hardly wait to try all that they have to offer. read more

Veggie dogs, hooray, hooray! You can get any of their American hotting dogs vegetable or vegetarian style through the magic of their incredible, edible Field Roast time machine! oOoOO! We got the Southern slaw (surprisingly good), Chicago dog (it tastes of Belmont Avenue, in a good way) and Blue Demons dawg (nom nom nom), along with a bucket of delicious and greasy fries with the skin on. They have Dr. Pepper on tap, so I had to indulge, contrary to my usual anti-soda tendencies. Corn syrup for the win! Food is quick from the counter and it's a clean and fun place and we enjoyed it! read more

Hey management! Do you know what a "paper hot dog holder is". Absolutely incredible you don't use them. Your hotdogs are amazing, but when you roll them up like a burrito your customers have to deal with with a bun that's turned into oatmeal and a mess all over their lap! Newsflash! Hotdogs must be served in one of these, The bun will stay more intact, your business will double. Guaranteed.... I was going to give you a five, but lack of hot dog awareness was disappointing. read more

I wasn't even in town and they used it, not sure how they must have my number or don't want to give out the rewards. Terrible please don't give these cheaters or liars your money. read more

EVERYDAY IS NATIONAL HOTDOG DAY @devil.dawgs Had the best time trying their whole menu in celebration of national hotdog day this week! # sponsored DID YOU KNOW? devil dawgs had a fried chicken sandwich on their menu way before most fried chicken places did? HAVE YOU TRIED? their Elvis slider that has peanut butter in it? It's actually pretty good! Perfectly paired with maple bacon & sriracha who knew! BIGGEST SURPRISE - their milkshakes are really damn good. A good test for us is ordering banana-based milkshakes - most places put in fake banana flavors but wow devil dawgs does it right, their Chunky Monkey was so good with chunks of real banana in there. We had the : Hotdogs: bulldawg (made by the manager at this location) comes with a battered & fried hotdog, Chilli, BBQ sauce, Cole slaw, cheese & pickle Big Chicago with devil dawgs (slightly spicy) + relish, mustard, onion, pickle, tomato, sport pepper & celery salt Sliders: Elvis - peanut butter, inferno sauce, bacon Kick ass- like their Chicago dog but ona. Slider! Chicken sandwich Clucker - slightly spicy on a pretzel roll & spicy slaw Classic - got the spicy , with house-made spicy & buttermilk battered chicken on a brioche. Sides Hand cut fries with devils sauce Whiskey battered onion rings with awesome sauce More on Instagram: @midwestmunching read more

We love Devil Dawgs! If you really wanna feel comforted by some good, greasy but delicious food, this is an amazing place. We've had hot dogs, sliders, chicken sandwiches, fries, and onion rings from here and everything has been awesome. The chicken sandwich was so much larger than we expected - we got the variation with the spicy slaw on it and I cannot recommend that enough! Portions are very large, it's really affordable, and even getting it delivered the quality is still great. You cannot miss their milkshakes, and even getting these delivered on a hot day we avoided any kind of melted mess! read more

I went here with a friend after work on a Tuesday evening. I was waiting for the facility to open as I watched them build it. I always visit the facility on state street in the south loop. I wanted to do something different so I got a Sig EP hot dog. It was one of the cashier's favorite. When I tell you I HATE onions BUTTTTTT I decided to leave the onions on the dog, it was a good choice. While it was TOOO many onions, more then the meat or bread lol, I enjoyed the food choice. Experiencing it in its natural made to order, was the best choice. The bag o fries is like Five Guys. They give you your bang for your buck. I do wish the fries had been fried harder so they're not all wriggly like noodles. Add a little bit more salt as well. The ambiance is super chicago like. Gives off the artistic sense that it's modern and retro. read more

This place is what you need it to be -- serious comfort food, open late, and more palatable than many of the alternatives. The food arrives after a few minute of ordering -- wish it was quicker, but that might reduce the quality. The Rooster is a great buy for $7. Some of the other sandwiches are $1-$2 less but only half the size. The chili cheese fries are exactly what you hope them to be -- disgustingly awesome. Can't say I'd come here in the daytime for a casual meal, but that's not what this joint is for read more

I've had their awesome, unhealthy food before at the Sheffield location, where the only places to sit are three small tables outside. So I never went back. Now Devil Dawgs are sprouting up like weeds. I'm very protective of Belmont/Sheffield, and constantly bemoan the changes here in recent years. However Devil Dawgs is a good addition to the hood. They have veggie dogs that can go with any of the dog styles. This is a southern slaw veggie dog. It's probably my favorite veggie dog in the city. Their fries are also ridiculous. 5 stars for the veggie options and good prices read more

Devil Dawgs really stood out to my husband and I agreed it sounded good. Tevin got 2 sliders, and an order of fries, while I got a Chicago dog. The inside looks amazing with awesome artwork and even the chairs were artistic and colorful. The fries smell like heavenly potatoes made from the crop God grew himself, and they tasted about the same honestly. The burger was good according to my husband and the hot dog waa decent, but the fries were the star. I am not surprised some of the hot dogs come with fries on the hot dog now that I tasted them. At first I was like "that's weird, I've never once heard of putting fries on a hot dog. I don't think I would like that" but next time I am for sure trying it. If you love hot dogs, I'd check this place out immediately. read more

You really can never go wrong with Devil Dogs. As long as you're feeling ready to break that diet or eat some casual junk food that is step up from most fast food joints, this is you're kind of place. I really like this location since it's literally right next to the Belmont L station which makes it easy to get to from all directions. Every time I've gone in, the service has been great, and the food never takes too long to come out. I've tried several dogs here, and they've all been tasty and wholesome. If you're looking for some relatively cheap place to eat before a Cubs game, this place is not a bad option. It's about a 10 minute walk to Wrigley Field so good choice here! I still think Flub A Dub Chub's is better for a Chicago dog, Devil Dawgs is a very close step below. I'll be back! read more
