    Yum! They have a variety of hotdogs but I got their chicago dog. A little pricey for hotdogs but worth trying for the experience.

    I love stopping here. It's the best place to get the cheapest dogs. I'd always recommend getting the two because you'll always want another one. The service was very fast and we were there while they were full. There is seating inside, but not a whole lot so don't plan on staying. We've been a couple of times now when we're visiting and will definitely be back again!

    BLUF: Place to come once and say you did. Food (3/5): I'm not even sure what I ate. Pickles on pickles on pickles. The neon leprechaun cum on my dog & pickles was... gross. I couldn't finish mine. The fries were amazing. The other dogs we got were delicious. My stomach did NOT agree with me after, but it was worth it. Service (5/5): Quick & limited interaction. You can order with a human or just use their kiosk. The kiosk was easy, had photos, and made it easy to customize items. Ambiance (5/5): Hole-in-the-wall place. Graffiti on the walls and sticky tables. It's your typical dive-eatery. No parking.

    Its Not a Corn Dawg

    Front desk at our hotel recommended this place and it was closer to try this than Portillo's. Small space with ordering at the counter in the back or a kiosk for self order. Only a few 4 foot person tables and some high top for 2. No bathroom. Closest one is Pete's around the corner at the end of the next block. 5/5 bucket of fries w/cheese. The fries were soft and super flavorful. Not crispy if that's your kind of thing. The nacho cheese was on the side and warm and tasty. They gave us 2 containers for one order which i appreciated. 5/5 it's not a corn dawg with cotija cheese and corn. My fave one. Very flavorful. The hot dog itself was also delicious. 4/5 Chicago dawg - got the small size which was perfect since we sampled so much. 4/5 hot chile cheddar dawg - super cheesy and added onions. My second fav. 4.5/5 Italian beef - wet with hot jardiane (sp). The peppers were spicy but really good. It's a pretty large serving. 5/5 caramel salty pretzel shake - the pretzel bits were a perfect salty mix. Pricing was very reasonable! I'd come back again for the not your corn dawg and shake!

    Bright fun wall art!

    We had to get our Chicago Dogs while in Chicago, and Devil Dawgs in Printers Row presented itself. (Feb 2026) We were lucky during early afternoon on a Saturday (Feb 2026) to get in before a mid-afternoon rush. We got our orders in at the register, and only had a few minutes wait. The dogs are Official Vienna Beef, of course. They use the longer narrower dogs, not the plumper ones. The toppings are traditional: genuine sport peppers, genuine neon relish, dill pickle spears, chopped onions, fresh tomatoes, celery salt. It's a great bright tart juicy savory combination of crunchy flavors. Note: The buns had no poppy seeds. The fries were hot and tender and added rich flavors. Devil Dawgs has a great divey look. The staff are great. The food is great. This place is a treasure.

    Fantastic! I thought I was Team Portillo's but I have officially converted to Team Devil Dawgs! Wow!!! Sooooooo good! I had the Big Chicago dog and it was bursting with flavor. The high quality Vienna beef dog had the nice snap I was looking for. All the seasonings and toppings blended together perfectly. Each bite was an explosion of fun! Also, the vibe here is really cool, and feels like a party. The decor is colorful, vibrant, and funny. Good music playing too. I love a place with personality. Lots of amusing hot dog art, and even some art on the ceiling. All of the tables were very clean. Excellent and fast service. I also appreciate that they have easy kiosks to order from. This is a cashless place. A wide variety of menu items. In addition to hot dogs, they have burgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, cheese curds, vegan options and more. I gotta try a milkshake next time. I'll definitely be back!

    Was getting lunch before heading to the airport. I got there right at 12pm on a Thursday. Ordered/paid on the kiosk. I got my food in about 5min. It wasn't super busy when I walked in but a few mins later it started getting packed while I sat and ate. So maybe go in BEFORE 12:05pm haha. Devil Dawgs hit the spot! I got the regular sized Chicago dawg and fries with a side of cheese sauce. The hotdog was pretty good, I've never had one Chicago style before. The fries were fresh, hand cut, hot and salty! All this plus a fountain drink +tax&tip came out to $18.27.

    Good chili cheese dog but messy

    Continuing alphabet series representing 2021 is D is for Devil Dawgs. In September 2021, I was on a Chicago vacation. After Chicago architecture boat tour and before seeing the White Sox, I met up with my friend who arrived a day later than I did. We went to an early dinner before White Sox at Devil Dawgs as getting a Chicago hot dog is an iconic thing to do plus eating at White Sox would be a ripoff. Devil Dawgs has a wide variety of hot dogs with various flavors. For me, I generally eat hot dogs plain. I don't like ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, etc. I do like a chili dog with or without cheese. Restaurant was a bit of a dive, but the hot dog was good. I messed up on the order as none of the hot dogs were exactly what I wanted, but I realized I messed up on the order. They didn't refund; so I just bought another hot dog that I had intended on getting. I ate the one I messed up on, but I enjoyed in spite of having to pick off onions or whatever was the case. Staff was cordial but not overly friendly either. Overall, a pretty good hot dog, but I'm content with a plain hot dog.

    Came during my last visit to Chicago and it was so good! I had a classic Chicago dog and service was great and super fast. I love all of the toppings in a Chicago dog and it was the perfect snack to either eat and enjoy the scenery of downtown or take along to go.

    Very good Chicago style hot dog, I feel like it was, overpriced for being so small but it was really good.

    Mmmm.

    My favorite meal of my Chicago trip! Sorry I tried another pizza on my last day in town instead of returning to Devil Dawgs! Very casual place, long and narrow. Not a whole lot of seating but I enjoyed eating in; I even got into a conversation with my neighbors about pickles. Speaking of pickles, you get a nice big spear on the dog, along with all the other Chicago stuff. Fries also were excellent and so was the chocolate-banana-malt shake! I know it's not health food but you gotta try it once in awhile. (Guess I'm lucky I don't live in Chicago or I'd be hitting Devil Dawgs way too often...)

    Can't come to Chicago and not grab a hot dog- so we stopped in for a quick bite. It's a small location with a handful of tables. Cashless transactions with self serve kiosks for ordering makes it easy if you're looking for a quick in and out meal. No public restrooms - which is kinda odd. We ordered a Chicago dawg, a Polish sausage and cheese fries and we were not disappointed.

    would give it zero stars for rudeness and service if that was an option. Food tastes good, will likely show up to your place cold.

    Decent food, but burgers are terribly overpriced. They are the size of a White Castle burger. But great late night food, for sure.

    Good stuff, they put bacon on my burger when I didn't order it, though, and I don't eat pork. Loved the hotdog, however.

    Absolutely insane experience. Make sure you get a reservation because this place gets booked up…read morequickly and rightfully so. My wife and I ordered the bone marrow to start and shared a single cheeseburger with the bacon and egg add on. The bone marrow with the marmalade on the side was amazing. I loved the thick toast they gave on the side. It was the perfect balance for such a rich dish. The burger is probably one of the best burgers I've had in my life. The bun was nice and fluffy, the burger was juicy, the bacon was thick and flavorful, and the egg was cooked to perfection. For a couple of bites, we threw a little bone marrow and the marmalade on the burger and it took it to a whole new level. The restaurant was small and comfortable. A tad loud with the music, but I didn't mind too much. I would gladly trade that for the delicious meal we had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great burger. Just make sure you get a reservation early.

    No photos 'cuz I'm guessing you know what a hamburger looks like…read more If this were not such a hyped location it was easily be 4 star. I don't feel it comes close to living up to the hype. In no way does it merit standing in line and it sure is not worth the $2.50/pp reservation fee that is not credited to your bill. That's just an obnoxious money grab. The atmosphere is dark, crowded, and a little noisy. In other words, bar-like. Service is good. No real complaints beyond asking for my burger with sauce on the side, being assured they would do that, and then having to scrape off the sauce that came on the burger. Okay, the food. The burgers are fine. Hardly life changing and not even the best in the city but definitely good. Worth the price? I doubt it. My dining partner liked the chopped liver starter (which came well after the burger) and the hash browns with duck heart gravy. I was much less impressed. I was confused by the "chopped" liver. Next to an immense pile of cornichons was a heap of large, again barely seasoned, diced liver pieces coated in a white sauce that the server told me was schmaltz. I make my own schmaltz and it has never been thick, white, and having no chicken flavor at all. Maybe they used a few drops of chicken fat to make a mayo? I don't know, but it certainly is a different take on chopped liver. The hash browns were piping hot and crispy but the potatoes themselves were badly underseasoned. The duck heart gravy was nice but the dish really didn't need the slightly congealed white cream gravy that adding nothing but more fat. If you're thinking about bacon, get it on the burger, not on the side. By itself it's way too sweet and peppery. On the burger, it works. Which brings me to... Food sensitivities. You will be asked about allergies and I'm sure you will be accommodated but you may not be happy with the results. The components of the dishes do not stand well on their own. They're clearly meant to be eaten together. Because so much egg and dairy is used in so many places if you want to avoid either your dish might be very suboptimal. So while it's okay it's a one and done for me. I'll stay with Small Cheval (very close in taste, much better value) or Burger Bar.
