    If you are looking for a great hot dog place with great atmosphere, great food and people with a lot of heart look no further. The best little hot dog place around. They are so friendly and nice and go above and beyond if you have a food allergy. The hot dogs taste so gourmet and the polish cooked to perfection and don't get me started on the fresh cut fries. Don't walk run to Hot dog on the chain you won't be disappointed

    Stopped by on a Sunday looking for a hotdog while riding around, but they were closed, except for Slots. Smelled funky inside.

    The food is pretty good. Great hot dog & fries. I think the owner is not very pleasant, almost rude. I like to be thanked for my business.

    By far my favorite place to eat right now! I've tried almost all the menu nothing I didn't like. Get the fried pickles!

    Found this place last night on accident and let me tell you, it's a little hidden gem if you like good hot dogs.

    No Seats! No Ketchup! No Pretense! No Nonsense!…read more Pay attention! 70 Years. That's right. 70 YEARS!! Ahh yes, Gene & Jude's in River Grove, Illinois. I will always have fond memories of eating a ton of hot dog lunches here. It occurred during my 'serious' working life at Jensen Sound Labs in nearby Schiller Park. Back in the day, Gene & Jude's was a teensey tiny, stand-and-eat-over-a-counter-french-fries-stuffed-into-your-snappy-Vienna-Beef-dog kinda place. It still has a devoted cult following. As it is with all good things, the restaurant has only become bigger and better! Gene & Jude's has such a wonderful location near and around many office buildings that house large companies. And a forest preserve nearby. Today, the same hot dog and fries combo I ate back in the day is still a great value for struggling sound mixers and speaker-based Motorola employees and of course, all the other working class. The snappy Vienna Beef Dog with the only condiments, consisting of yellow mustard, green relish, onions, and sport peppers, then smothered and covered in fries, "Depression style", is currently priced at $4.69! You need to visit this icon if you're ever in the Northwest Chicago area suburbs. You won't regret it.

    Still the Greatest hotdog on the planet after eating here for 45+ years and my parents eating years…read moreand years before me everything is still the same ambience inside of the restaurant. It's standing room only to eat your hotdog. The line is always out the door, 15 minute wait for the greatest hotdog known to man. The food taste exactly the same as it did 45 years ago the service is faster than ever the inside has never changed since I was a little kid after many nights of being at the thirsty whale which was adjacent behind Gene and Jude's is where all the rockers hung out and the greatest bands of Chicago came through ..their we would eat hotdogs at two and three in the morning. My children are now full teenagers, and got to experience the Gene and Jude hotdog and we're delighted beyond belief now living outside of Chicago coming into town to have the greatest hot dog and still be exactly the same. The fries are exactly the same ,the inside exactly the same, with a few more awards. This is 100% the best Chicago, hot dog and greatest hotdog on the planet. You must visit this place just to experience the years and years and years of excellence. Enjoy!!... May it bless your life as it has mine. God bless Gene and Jude's team. Keep the tradition and hots going. PS don't forget to get your Gene and Jude's merch. It is now available. Cheers
