This is my go-to spot for late night food. I usually get the Chicago style dog, a single cheese slider, and a bag of fries with a side of cheese sauce. It's hard to hate a classic dawg with everything on it, down to the sliced tomatoes, pickle, hot peppers and celery salt. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered this combo of comfort food. Their staff is always really nice. I call-in an order and then usually pick it up 20 minutes later. If you want more beef patties on your burger, you can get a double ($4) or a triple ($5). These aren't your little White Castle-sized sliders; I eat the single ($3) like it's own hefty burger. I've also had their "Clucker" fried chicken sandwich which was also delicious. They have a variety of different hotdogs and I probably won't be tasting them all because I've found my favorite items, but if you ever want a southern slaw dog, taco dog, or hot green chile cheddar dog, you'll find it here. The "Devil Dawgs" have their own section on the menu and are made with 1/4 pound of sausage. Items range from from "Seoul Dawg" to the "Wicker Dawg." I confess I haven't tried those, but they exist for the adventurous. Come here to find old-fashioned milk shakes, hand-cut fries, and unbelievably delicious hot dogs. Devil Dawgs came into existence in 2010 in Lincoln Park and served a lot do the Depaul campus. Since then, they've expanded to South Loop and luckily for me, to Wicker Park. I'll be back again and again. read more

chicken was aggressively mediocre in flavor, and look at the size of these strips... the service was good and the ranch was solid, but paying $11 for this + a sauce cup of coleslaw was a huge rip off given the lack of flavor. if i were to come here again... i wouldn't. read more

My favorite burgers in Chicago. I wish it stayed open late like the old Lincoln park location. Perfect late night spot. 10/10

Popeyes chicken sandwich is better. The Clucker used to be the best chicken sandwich in the city. Now, it is a thin, dry, shadow of its former incarnation. Also, it was $6.50 before the pandemic. Today, it is $9.75. Do better, Devil Dawgs. read more

We came for take-out during the Friend of the Devil pop-up. I've had their original chicken sandwich at Roister previously, which I enjoyed. We ordered the regular chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken sandwich, fries and the bbq corn. The chicken sandwiches were good and I'm sure they would have been crunchier if we were able to eat them immediately. Unfortunately, the fries were soggy by the time we got home. I thought the bbq corn had a bit too much spice for my liking. Overall, the food was fine. It probably would have tasted much better if we were able to eat it right after it was freshly made. Damn you, COVID! read more

Showed up to the location in wicker park. It was 6:41pm and the door was locked. A brown bag with handwritten "Store closed until 6:30pm" on it made things clear. Except that I'm seeing employees inside working and the store isn't open. So the guy waves to me saying "7pm" ok. I wait. Hang out. I want Devil Dawgs. 7:03pm I'm back and the same guy is there but is ignoring me at the door. I've known and liked this place for a long time. And the high prices have made it a special occasion for me, but now it's not worth it. I can live without devil dawgs and everything to do with it. This just ticked me off the wrong way. Not worth! Go to a different food spot! Much cheaper for better service read more

Greasy, messy, drunk food. Came in one day of lunch as wanted something quick. Got the Good Morning Slider and the BBQ Bacon slider, with a small fry. Burgers were greasy and messy and the fries were slightly under cooked. I think if I were hungover might have enjoyed it a little more. They have a fun atmosphere inside and the prices are great, that can't be denied. read more

Had a quick trip to the Windy and almost left WITHOUT 'doing the dog'. What a cataclysmic mistake that would've been. With the clock ticking on our flight from Midway, I prayed to the prince-of- darkness-franks, that we would miraculously receive our Devil Dogs quickly. Beyond impressed with the variety of wicked wieners Double D offered, I ordered three hellish options: Southern slaw dog (for my sinful Southern Bell) Coney Cheese Dog and old fashioned Chicago style. All three were ghoulishly wrapped in poppy seed buns and generously littered with copious toppings. My lovely temptress fiancé commented that her slaw dog was the best wiener she ever sank her fangs into. The other two dogs made me want to go to Hades and back!! Why in hell didn't I give DD 5 Stars you ask? The Fries...Dark fries usually mean old oil... Though not terrible, I had to deduct a star for this one. Even though there are a million heavenly choices for excellent frankfurters in this city, I recommend you try this fire and brimstone hole in the wall called Devil Dogs and the best part is that you won't have to sell your soul just to pay for lunch. read more

I should have known this place was gonna be bad. It has the Devil on it. I thought it would be good, because brick and mortars are expensive. I expected better quality than a stand on the street. The stand on the street I'm used to is Best Wurst in Austin, so maybe that sets the bar pretty high. The skin on the dog was too thick. The cheese was fake. I just didn't like it, and felt it didn't represent Chicago dogs. It actually killed my appetite for any kind of hot dog for awhile, so I never got a real Chicago hot dog. Contemplate the tragedy of my opportunity cost, and skip Devil Dawgs. read more

DEVILS IN THE WHITE CITY ______________________ ‡‡ review #666 ‡‡ ______________________ (A fast food feast) + [the number of the beast] = {this Wicker Park hot dog spot} Don't even think for a second it's a coincidence that my 666th review happens to be for a business aptly named Devil Dawgs. Ain't no such thing as coincidences in life. I knew it was coming, planned on going somewhere suitably satanic, here we are. Deal with my Yelp OCD. I brought Nichole C here for some greasy deliciousness last night and the overall experience was better than I could've ever hoped. The bright neon sign outside on Milwaukee Ave guided us straight into the devil's den. Although initially overwhelmed by the menu (SO many choices), eventually we settled on a trio of hot dogs, a single slider, a bag of fries, bucket of onion rings, a drink and a shake. The guy at the register comped us the fountain drink, which wasn't necessary but super appreciated. Their stuff is made to order, so it took a little while until our gargantuan dinner was ready. Once I began to dig in, I knew I'd gone died and gone straight to heaven......or the other place??? I hope they have food like this in that fiery pit down below, because it was unbelievably good. I started off with the cheddar dawg ($5.25) which came with shredded cheddar and melted cheddar cheese, topped with hot green chilies. It had a kick to it along the lines of pepperoncini. Next up was the 'Jose Caliente' dawg ($5.25), a 1/4lb spicy grilled hot dog with devil sauce, spicy pico de gallo, and cucumber slices. Most excellent. Fries are the natural fresh-cut variety, which is my preferred style. O-rings were tasty and had a nice thin coating, unlike some places that throw 1" of breading on and forget the actual onion! Nichole's chicago-style dog was up to par, as was the sloppy joe burger. Their shake selection numbers in the dozens; I could get a new shake - or malt - every week of the year and it'd take me 6 months to cycle through them all. My butterscotch milkshake ($5.75) was huge, expensive, and muy delicioso. Next time I'll try their mint chocolate. As an added bonus, they've got some catchy signs posted around the restaurant including one by the water dispenser that's quite funny. Dudes behind the counter were pretty cool, especially the one who said "the drink's on me". Others have mentioned the 10% gratuity that's automatically added to the check, and that's a bit shady, I'll admit. Since my meal here was so enjoyable, I've no problem leaving a tip now or in the future. Sinful, yes indeed. But I doubt your soul will be condemed to hell for eating here......or will it? read more

Good food, with some creative takes on the usual Chicago style dog. Totally on the level. I had a Blue Demons Dawg, a classic Chicago dog and a cheddar cheese dogs, and all three were very good. They have their own sauce that's difficult to describe. I think they're going for it to taste spicy but not overpowering. I liked it. Cool vibe, with big tables and good music. The guy at the counter taking orders was kind of an impatient jerk, but I was clearly a nube and didn't know what to order, so it took me a few seconds to get my stuff together, and he didn't seem to want to be very patient. Fairly inexpensive as well, for what you're getting. My three dogs and the drink were right at $20. So with the quality of the food and the wide variety of stuff on the menu to try, this place is definitely worth stopping into. read more

I love traveling and find myself in Chicago a few times a year. Most recently heard about Devil Dawgs and their veggie dog option, but in the past I've tended to avoid veggie dogs because I've a soy allergy and often that's their main protein source..... so I reached out to customer service after reading another review here, I am stoked to know that theirs is confirmed as soy-free!!!! Looking forward to a veggie Chicago Dog next visit!!! Updating review with a photo :) and while I don't think I'm a fan of "Chicago style" I did enjoy having a vegan hot dawg :) read more

I started to give this 5 stars before my order was up. This was a destination.

Oh Lord. What did I eat? I came here late on a Saturday night and every surface at Devil Dawgs was soaked in various condiments and beverages. The floors, the tables, the countertops on either side of the drink dispenser: All were sticky. I got a bacon cheddar dog: The thinnest hot dog you've ever seen, slathered in some sort of fake Cheez Whiz nonsense and unmelted, shredded cheese. In every bite, the best flavor came from the bun. What a disaster. I also had the "bucket of rings." These were the saddest, oiliest onion rings ever. The breading fell off as soon as you picked them up and they didn't taste like anything except grease. I ate maybe five or six floppy, dripping onion remnants before abandoning the rest. The total cost of this unsatisfying nightmare was $11.42. Imagine all the quality food you could get for $11.42. Also neat that when you pay for a credit card, they try to stick you with an automatic 10% tip. Be alert and only tip that if you feel so inclined. Honestly, they should have tipped me for eating that trash in a sticky, unwashed wasteland. read more

Devil Dawgs-Wicker Park - Allegedly onion rings - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Can't see any reason not to give this place 5 stars, because the experience was spot on! Took my kiddo to the city for a little one-on-one time. Went in, not knowing what to expect. It wasn't too crowded, it had a cool urban atmosphere, and it was super neighborhood-y. I believe it was the owner or manager, who was super patient with us as we asked lots of questions, especially regarding the organic veggie dog. What? No soy - wahoo! I got the veggie dog and my son got the double steak sliders on a brioche bun, and we ordered up a bucket of hand cut signature fries (oh my, so many fries). Of course we also ordered a side of Merkts cheddar cheese sauce. Order at the counter and wait for them to call you when your food is ready. The hotdog was kind of spicy, but in a good way, with a hot dog taste (not sure how they got that) and came on a regular bun. It truly tasted like meat and came with a kosher pickle in it. My hungry teenage son gave the sliders two thumbs up. Though it looked small, he said the double patty made all the difference in the world and it was quite filling. Now as far as fries go, these go to to the top of my favorite list. They were 100% gluten free, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and seasoned to perfection! They have a very large extensive menu, with every french fry combination imaginable! Customer service was off-the-charts awesome. read more

Cheap eats galore! I went with a Chicago dog to stay with the theme and fries (they give you a mountain of it.) And it was the bomb! The idea of tomato, dill pickle, pickled peppers and mustard on dog was never something that interested me but it was a really amazing hot dog. I think I only paid 7 bucks total. read more

Devil Dawgs-Wicker Park - Chicago Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My orders were delivered by Uber Eats, as there was a deal, so this review is solely of the food and not the service or ambience. The location we ordered from was 1.6 miles away. The Chicago Dogs arrived alright and were wrapped properly and tasted just fine. Unfortunately, the fries arrived as a soggy mess but were revived by broiling them. I blame this on the fact that I ordered delivery fries so the second time we ordered tots and onion rings but they also arrived soggy even though the top of the bag was left open. The sliders were an unmitigated disaster and 100% inedible as a sandwich. Unlike Joey Chestnut, I do not prefer buns soaked in water and crumbling like wet single ply. We immediately asked for a refund. The only part of the slider that we even attempted to eat was the beef. Considering that we ordered the condiments on the side, we still find it inexplicable that the sliders arrived in this manner. Needless to say, if we were ever to order from Devil Dogs again, which we won't, it would only be on a deal for hot dogs or maybe a sausage. read more

Super busy neighborhood but there is parking on the street. I got a vegan Chicago dog and it was amazing! My boyfriend got a bacon cheddar dog, he thought the bacon was undercooked, but other than that really liked it! The fries were good too. I would definitely recommend this place and plan to return next time I travel to the Chicago area! read more

Ordered 2 sliders and onion rings to-go. Was given 2 hotdogs and onion rings. Only realized when I got home so I walked back and asked for my 2 sliders. Wasn't given an explanation or apology, didn't even get to keep the 2 hotdogs. The sliders didn't have all the toppings I asked for, but I didn't feel like going back twice. As for food quality, it's pretty mediocre especially for the higher price point. Would prefer fast food to be honest. read more

Called Devil Dawgs for a reason. Be prepared to shit your brains out thirty minutes after eating here. Think they need to double check that they're handling food in a sanitary way here. Pretty sure I got staph food poisoning. Otherwise, the dog itself and milkshake were and usually are pretty good. read more

Damn. When someone shows who they are believe them! After leaving a not great review I decided to give them a another chance. Sigh. It's not longer 2020 but things are still off. I had to repeat my order a few times because the young lady at the register couldn't seem to grasp what I was saying. I ordered a HOT DOG at Devil DAWGS. It could be me but....should a hot dog crunch after biting into it?? I mean damn. The bun looked old and beat up. It was a crunchy ass hot dog and my slider was cold. I'm so done. I couldn't and wouldn't complain because of fear of getting something much worse. I just took a few bites of my food and chalked it up to a valuable lesson. Also for some reason they were playing Christmas music in February. I should've taken that as a omen because.....gat Damn. read more

We had 2 Chicago Dog's and they weren't anything special and the breast was soggy so that's no fun. We also got a large fry and cheese side for dipping. The cheese was super yummy but the fries were so soggy/soft full of oil that we barely ate any of them. read more

Got the Chicago devil dawg, was disappointed. Super poorly constructed. The bun was soggy, and not even a poppy seed one. The mustard was so unevenly distributed. The only good part was the meat itself, but you can get the same Vienna beef hotdogs anywhere in Chicago. Just go to Portillo's. read more

This place is definitely unique in terms of hotdogs and hamburgers...all all the included usual items (fries, shakes, etc) The normal hotdogs have a variety of toppings making them all worth trying. The devil dawgs are made with a larger sausage and include a much more in terms of toppings quantity. I had the Apple Bacon cheddar dog which is as good as it sounds. I also had the bull dawg which was interesting since the hotdog was batter fried and on a lobster roll. Perhaps not my favorite due to the amount of coleslaw on it. But damn it was different. They also have huge buckets of fries and onion rings. The fries can have bacon, cheese and grilled onions on them. Very tasty. But my major favorite of this place has to be the onion rings. They tasted just like bloomin' onions from Outback. I could eat these by the ton! The milkshakes are good. Pretty standard. Overall a very different take on a hotdog place. Be sure to come here if you want a hotdog but might be getting bored with the same ol' same ol'. Prices are pretty standard and the staff are friendly. Good luck getting parking though! A devil of a yummy time! read more

Come for the chicken sandwich. Seriously, it's so good. The chicken has a good crunch to it (not too oily and just the right size for a sandwich) and the coleslaw is surprisingly delicious (normally I'm not a fan). The pretzel bun is interesting and not my first choice for a bread - kind of too dense in my opinion - but holds up wel to the rest of the sandwich The store itself is really funky and rock-music like so definitely a fun place to stop by and grab some late night hot dogs or chicken sandwiches! read more

I wrote this review with mixed emotion. While I order often from this establishment between its two locations. This past Sunday for Super Bowl, I ordered food for a small gathering. I placed my order a week I. Advance. My order was to arrive Su day at 6:30 PM. At about 5:10 I get a cancellation notification that they just canceled my order. No explanation, no apology, nothing, mind you I was build promptly when I placed the order. So then I reach out to someone I've dealt with there before via email. Expressing my dissatisfaction with the way my order was handled. I have yet to hear a word back about my order. Now the order was placed through Uber Eats, but still their business canceled the order not the driver. read more

Never order out and thought id splurge a little. Made an order through toast, came missing the shake, which was fine except its like a $10 shake. Checked toast and toast said to contact the restaurant. Contacted the restaurant and the girl on the phone said contact toast. I told her toast said to contact them. She was just silent on the phone, didn't say anything. I said well what can I do, she just said "I don't know...." I said well is there someone there who does know? She just goes "no....". I said can I at least get a refund? She just says "no.....". Like dude, help me out at least a little. Super irritating and I don't really have $10 to just throw in the trash like that. Really wish she would've given me SOMETHING to work with. Definitely need to train the people picking up the phones better. Def won't order from this location again. read more

We have been hearing about Devil Dawgs non-stop from one of our good friends in DC, so we had to stop as we were cruising down Milwaukee back to our apartment. This is a great place to stop if you are biking on Milwaukee! Check out their menu posted outside, enter with masks on, order, and expect greatness after a short wait. We ordered the chicken sandwich, fries, and the Juicy (big popper)! Their soda machine is currently closed so expect to purchase bottled soda/water or bring your own! There are a few tables out front for 2 people per table. We will be back to try more! read more

Come for the dawgs - stay for the fries & service. Native New Yorker wanted to try out a Chicago Hot Dog - found this on yelp with great reviews so let's try it. 1st - the actual spot is in one word COOL. The look the vibe & clean cool graffiti filled bathrooms. Check. 2nd - and extensive menu that includes hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, fries & onion rings and a slew of milk shakes & malts. 3rd - service super friendly, fast & efficient. I ordered the traditional Chicago Dawg, small fries with "devils sauce" and a Coke Zero (don't judge me). The Hot Dog - was ok. It had so many condiments and what looked like emerald green onions that it didn't distinctly taste like anything (I'll stick to dirty watah dogs). The French Fries - I JUDGE PLACES BY THERE FRIES. I want more! They are amazingly delicious. Well seasoned and the small is a sack full. Devils Sauce - I don't know it has but it's amazing. I brought what was left over with me. It's spicy but not insane and honestly was one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had especially with the fries. The Coke Zero - haaaaa I'm not reviewing that! All in all it was a super experience and I'll be back if not for their hot dogs definitely for their fries & sauce. Side note - I ordered a milk shake to go. The first one on the list was named Latin Beat. Im Puerto Rican and move to my own beat so immediately this is what I want. Ask the nice guy what is it first words dark chocolate- say no more. OMGAWD this was the most odd, spicy, deliciously addictive milk shake I've ever had. I'll say no more & leave you in suspense when you visit try one. YOU WONT REGRET IT. read more

Boooooooooo! I have come here exclusively for the Clucker sandwich, which WAS the greatest chicken sandwich on earth. How shocked was I last Friday to order the Clucker and receive a poor imitation of the Popeye's chicken sandwich?! The enormous deep-fried chicken breast was gone! Replaced by a much, much smaller one. The delicious pretzel roll? Gone! The amazing hush hush slaw? Gone! Sad to say that Popeye's sandwich is now better than the Clucker. To add insult to injury, the person I was with wanted a Seoul Dog (kimchi dog), but guess what? also gone! Get it together, DD. You're better than this. read more

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. This place is amazing! The best fries anywhere. The salads are great and the sliders are pure heaven. I would even come for the music.
