If you want a Chicago style hot dog this is the only place to go. Even when it is packed inside, the care they take to stacking all the ingredients is obvious. It's the best example of the Chicago dog in the city! Their fries are always hot and fresh, they have very reasonable prices, and the staff is always super friendly. Great little place to pop in! read more

Who doesn't love a Chicago dog with the works? My wife is a hot dog fanatic and she's vegan. We have our go-to hot dog place at home (Las Vegas), but no Chicago dogs there. We pass through Chicago often and needed to find "that" place in Chicago for a great Chicago dog. My wife wasn't with me this trip, but we had identified this joint as having great yelping potential. To find out, I sacrificed myself for my wife and had a regular AND a vegan flubby with the works. As others noted, the bun isn't poppyseed, but since I don't like poppyseed, who cares? It's not a detractor. Here's the thing: I ate the regular flubby with the works side-by-side with the vegan, so I could report back home. The regular was fantastic! But, surprisingly, the vegan was even better!!!! Let me say that again: the vegan was better! What? How did that happen? AND it was Flubtastic $4 Tuesday! Each dog with fries or tots was $4!!! I spent more on the "L" getting here! So, looking for a good dog, Flub A Dubs is excellent. Want Vegan options? They got 'em... Including vegan chili to make that vegan dog a solid chili dog... but after two hot dogs, that'll have to wait until the next time I come to Chicago. read more

I ordered delivery a few weeks ago as I was craving a burger. I have had Flub A Dub Chub's a couple of times as I used to live at Briar and Lake Shore and they have solid burgers. Flub A Dub Chub's is a fast food joint that serves Chicago style food. The inside is pretty neat as they post artwork of the customers around the joint. The place can be easy to miss as it's below ground, but it's right below Monsignor Murphy's. I ordered the Roe, which has avocado, bacon, and LTO, and a side salad. I would also recommend Grandma's K, Greg's Hangover, and the Bryan Burger. I haven't had a bad burger here. The salad was nothing special, but you shouldn't expect it to be anything special since this is a fast food spot known for hot dogs, burgers, fries, milk shakes, Italian beef, and other fried food. The prices are fair as the quantity is pretty big. They offer some very solid food if you are craving a quick bite to eat at a low price. read more

Flub A Dub Chub's - The Roe Burger with a side salad. Will admit that this picture doesn't do it's justice... - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Low on the hygiene scale. Cook had mask under chin with nose out. Owner/register attendant was making a shake without gloves fully immersing her fingers into the ice cream to push it into the shake jar. Good news is you get a lot of ice cream. Bad news is you got whatever was under her nails too. After having preordering for pickup via Yelp so that I can pop in and out, and then waiting 5 mins for her to make the strawberry finger shake, the owner gave me a 5 minute lecture on how I should call my orders in instead so she doesn't have to give Yelp 30% of the order value. I won't be going back there again. read more

This family run, hole-in-the-wall establishment actually serves some pretty bomb hot dogs + tater tots! The Flubby and The Chubby are their most popular hot dogs, complete with a side of fries or tater tots. We opted for the Flubby + the works "Chicago Style". Each bite was glorious. Refreshing yet savory. Then onto the tots. Perfectly deep fried. I'll be back. Yelp checkin gets you free fountain soda read more

Oohoohooo, just got back from Flub A Dub Chub's and I just have to say they are a great addition to this strip of Broadway. Friendly service, cute little diner like atmosphere. Seating is barstools and high tops. But let me get to the food... I order a chargrilled chicken sandwich. Sorry, I forget the name of it on the menu as all the items had these cool little names. I got it with the works and they also tossed on some avocado and omg was it ever good. Served on a pretzel roll. It was messy and tasted like it had just come off of someone's outdoor grill. The chicken is also a nice thin juicy layer, not some big fat piece of white meat that is so tough and dried out you need tons of mayo just to be able to swallow it without chocking. Yum! Fries were crunchy and greasy...mmm, just like mom never made. If I had remembered to grab a menu I could have listed some of the items they are offering but off the top of my head they have... Hot Dogs Hamburgers Chicken Sandwiches Fries Chili Fries & Mozz Stix Go check 'em out. Do it...you won't be sorry and hey...you might even get a little chubby. ;) read more

The moment I walked in, I knew this had to be a family-run shindig, because there was loud talking, laughing, knee slapping, and all around good-time having. There isn't a menu posted just yet -- this place is freshly open and still has a few kinks to work out (such as coat hooks, they said, not to mention a kid's menu, which is also in the works). The son is the cook (chef, that is) and the dad saw the place on a whim while looking for hot dog's in the area. The joint used to be a massage parlor, imagine that!? So they picked up the place and decided to do a hot dog thing. The wife/mom is a teacher down on the south side and she was doing a little bit of waitressing/order taking while I was in there. The overall atmosphere is jovial, friendly, welcoming, what do you want me to say!? The moment you get up to leave it's "Goodbye!" and "Thanks!" I mean, this place is no bigger than a shoebox and had about six bar-stool style tables as well as a diner-type counter along the wall with bar stools. It's done up in red and white like you've entered a circus tent of hot dog goodness. But what about the FOOD? I, like Rocky, got the chicken sammich (also known as the HYPE-Kat). The hot dog just wasn't sounding comfy to my rumbly stomach, so I went the safe route. They'll do the sandwich any way you want it, too, with any toppings, that is. The guy who came in after me -- who must know the folks who run the joint as he was participating in the knee-slapping goodness -- ranted and raved about the hot dog. I mean, The Chubby is, afterall, a QUARTER POUND dog with the works. "THIS, he said, THIS is a real hot dog!" And don't let the price fool you. It might be 4.75, but it COMES with fries. And the fries? Freaking amazing. They have this delicious seasoning on them, too. My only gripe is that I didn't get ENOUGH of them with my sandwich. Next time? I'll order extra, that's for sure. The coleslaw was sweet and shredded, and although it didn't amaze, it satisfied. Afterall, this is a hot dog place, not a cabbage house. The menu (of which I stole one) is filled with hot dogs with wacky names like The Mr. Big, The Bryan, The Flubby, The Lars, Double Chubby, and The Peppy Pepitone. They also have burgers, which are half-pound steak burgers with pretzel buns. There's also a few specials there, including Greg's Hangover with Cheddar, Bacon and Egg. And if you're hankering for an Italian beef, they can fix that hunger too. You can also pick up cheese fries, chili, cheese sticks, and sodas. They're straight-up Vienna franks here, though. And finally, a word from some other folks who wanted to be heard. There were a couple fellows there with what I can only assume were their children, two little girls. The girls were chowing down happily, and although one didn't dig the fries, it turned out the little one is a fry-hater, so take what she says lightly. The guys loved their dogs and their only complaint -- Chub's doesn't do poppy seed buns! And guess what? They don't plan on it. So get your arse down to FADC. Support the local eatery, enjoy some television, say hello to the fam, down some fries, and buy a shirt when they come in. I know I'll go back for a dog pretty darn soon ... read more

If you are looking for a greasy burger, hot dog, fries, mozz sticks, onion rings (you get the point), this is the spot for you! Heaven on the plate and hell on your thighs. I had the Bryan Burger and it was delish. Along with mozz sticks, onion rings and some fries. Dont judge, I can EAT! Oh and this was AFTER we went to Senza for the 5 course tasting and I ate it all... Disgustingly delicious. Orange, creamy, nacho cheese on everything I put in my mouth. Lots of ranch and ketchup. Heartburn here I come...it was well worth it. THANK YOU! read more

Flub A Dub Chub's - Bryan Burger...amazing! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I really wanted to try Hot Dougs at first. But after stopping by and realizing they were closed for the weekend, we needed a backup. I have no regrets at all because Flub A Dub Chub's serves a really really great Chicago dog. This place is hard to spot because it's located downstairs and there's no big signs or anything outside of it. I ordered the Chubby. I felt like a chubby eating it because I couldn't stop. I even licked my fingers afterwards. The seasoned fries are also great. I don't think I've had many hot dogs that can beat this one in terms of taste. http://s3-media4.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/KrxCteZlRdBJBbTePx4tVw/l.jpg The place is small but very welcoming. There are photos and art posted up on the walls. The cashier was very friendly and helpful when ordering. I am now officially a Chubby Chaser! read more

Look at the pics below and there you'll see God's work in all its everlasting glory. Thank you father. I mean it. I have NEVER, EVER, had a better hot dog in all of my 30 something years! NOT EVER. God is too kind. First, don't kid yourself - get in here! Your whole entire complete life will be made better and whole by it, I promise. I've been here twice now (that's my new rule for a review - twice or more, excepting if something egregious happens during my visit, but I digress). Let me start by saying my meal was so much FUN to eat. Like, seriously, I had an AMAZINGLY FUN time eating this meal!!! First, I ordered the chihuahua, which is a bacon wrapped dog topped with avocado slices and pico de gallo. It came with a side of my choice; I chose tater tots. Gawd. The devil out here taking L's for this one. The hot dog was so PERFECT I almost cried when faced with the fact that it would soon be a thing of my past; Sad times. I ordered some chili on the side, which I had big plans for once I got the hotdog down. When I did, I poured the chili onto the tots, and BAM! - the second coming!!!!! All of it was perfection. The atmosphere is a hot dog stand; not much to describe there. The place is run by an ADORABLE older couple and they are SO sweet and super personable. I loved them. They checked in to make sure everything was tasty, which it was. The husband even offered to change one of the TVs to whatever I wanted to watch. So sweet! Everything you see came to $13 bucks; what a steal. THIS PLACE IS A GEM IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE. Exemplary customer service, delicious and thoughtful food and a thoughtful menu. Cannot be beat. Cannot be beat! read more

We attempted to go to Kuma's but the line was out the door! So we decided to try Flub A Dub Chubs. I'm glad we came here instead because there was no wait on a Friday afternoon around 1pm. I'm not usually a burger person, but this was actually very good. We had the burger with bacon, cheese and avocado as well as a burger with bacon, cheese and mayo. I've never had a pretzel bun before but its delicious!!!!! Very soft and easy to chew! The size of the burger is HUGE! Each order comes with fries. If you want cheesy fries, all you have to do is ask for a side of nacho cheese. Yummie! Despite the large size of the burger, I ate it all! Fresh ingredients and delicious fries (crispy on outside, soft on inside). Prices are reasonable. Street parking can be difficult but not impossible. read more

I was a little skeptical about this whole "Chicago Hot Dog'" concept being that I am a ketchup lover and typically eat my hot dogs drenched in only ketchup. We got the Flubby with the works and it was amazing. From now on, I will only be eating my hot dogs Flub a Dub style with the following toppings: -Thinly sliced cucumber -Peperoccini peppers -Fresh green relish -Raw chopped onion -Mustard -Tomato slices -Topped with a large pickle wedge -Sprinkled with Celery Salt My dog was amazing! Though next time I will just get the Chubby because it was hard to bite through the Flubby and the casing...it took me 3 bites to get all of the flavors in but again, this is a personal problem that nobody else in my group had an issue with. The owner was super friendly and brought our food out to us on the patio. He gave great advice on other places that we needed to try before returning to DC. This was the best $4 meal that my BF has ever spent on me :) My 'cousin' Becky who has lived there all her life, said this place was better than other hot dog establishments in the area too! read more

The food is just okay, I expected more for the price. We got a 2 dog special - a Chicago dog and a brat - and got 2 brats instead. The fries were good though. We also got the hangover burger and the patty was meh while the bacon was soggy. Onion rings are not good - not crispy at all. read more

Wow. Wow! Big surprise, but a 4.5-star average among nearly 500 reviewers just means that I was late to the party. Brought a group of five to Flub on Tuesday night and we did it right--my wife and I split a Flubby (the "normal" sized hot dog with fries) and the Bryan Burger (cheddar, chili, pretzel bun, fries, 8-oz. cooked!!). Incredible. One of the best hot dogs I've had in Chicago, very close to the dogs I have had at Devil Dogs and Franks N' Dawgs in terms of quality. Because the dog is a little bigger than a normal dog (1/6th of a pound), the toppings on a normal Chicago-style dog don't completely freakin' overwhelm the thing. The burger was hilariously massive...it's nearly a pound when you account for all of the toppings, and the chili on this thing was magic. The fries are also perfection and the food comes to you in 10-15 minutes, just enough time to be both excited, angry and ravenous. My three friends were all making the eating sounds of happiness while going through their assorted dogs and fries also; great service and the place was quiet on a Tuesday night, which was very accommodating for my eight-month-old! read more

So I just moved to that area and was walking around trying to find a bite. I looked over their menu and initially I thought $8 bucks for a burger and fries was ridiculous. But to my surprise, the burger (Bryan Burger) was more than enough! Seasoned fries were good but could have been more generous in my opinion. I also ordered the Roe for my roommate and boy did I get a lot of heat for his complicated order (which wasn't too bad... -tomatoes, avocado on side, +pepperjack cheese). All in all I am glad I checked this place out. I'll be back to try their hot dogs soon! EDIT: I have to remove one star for my experience a few nights ago. Let me start off by saying, if you advertise that you are open until 10:30p, why would you tell me you are closed when I call in at 10:10p? When I ask you this, why do you respond "well, we're not open"? Rude much. Well, we're not coming back anymore. read more

My friends advised me to have a Chicago Dog while visiting there last week. My wife & I were going to a Chicago Cubs game and picked out a place near Wrigley Field with the best Yelp reviews & Flub A Dub Chub's it was. It was a tad difficult to locate given we didn't know the area & Google Maps was a little disoriented, but we found it off the street in the basement space. It's a tad small, so keep your eyes open. We decided to order the Flubby & the Chubby. My wife wanted a beer, but they don't serve beer, but the guy taking the order suggested we go upstairs to the bar & he'd bring the dogs to us. How very accommodating. We loved both selections. They were different than what we were used to with the tomato and the pickle, but they were excellent. I recommend checking this place out. read more

15May19 @ 4pm Small place downstairs with a few tables inside. Lots of nice hotdog art on the walls. Quick friendly service. Food came out within 15 minutes. The dogs were good with good toppings.

I tried their The Mr Big that has a monster 8 spicy mike ditka polish sausage with yellow mustard, grilled onions and sports peppers. This was great and the sausage was really juicy. I also tried their Flubs Bratwurst that is cooked in Oktoberfest beer, onions and peppers served on an Italian roll with brown mustard and sauerkraut. This was very delicious and yummy. It tastes really good and flavorful. They have many dishes on their menu which you can choose everything.I can't wait to try their other dishes when I come back here again. I highly recommend this place. read more

I confess, I was a doubter. I did not believe that the Chicago dog could be delicious. I did not believe it could even be good. It is with a chubby that I confess my doubts and ask forgiveness from the Windy City. Ahem, enough with the theatrics - Flub A Dub Chub's is awesome. It's tiny, with just a few small tables inside and couple more outside on the sidewalk. It's sparsely decorated and you might even call it a dive. None of that matters, because the dogs are top notch. The flubby with the works (and accompanying fries) was a life changing experience. In the past, the only place I would willingly eat a hot dog was at a baseball game or anywhere that offered it with chili and cheese, but in both of those cases, the dog didn't really matter. In the former it was about convenience and the experience of being at the game, and in the latter it was really about the chili. Not so at Flub A Dub Chub's, despite this dog being piled high with more (and weirder) toppings, it's all about the dog. Spicy and in your face, the mustard and onion get your taste buds warmed up. Up next the sour and salty relish, pickle, and sport peppers get them turned up to 11. Fresh cucumbers and tomatoes punch through with their cool freshness. Finally you arrive at the celery salt, subtle and just noticeable through the myriad of flavors, it binds everything together like the banjo in a Mumford and Sons song. Each of these elements works together to highlight the delicious 100% beefiness of the classic Vienna hot dog. If you're normal human hungry, the flubby is plenty, especially because the fries are delicious. Super hungry? Consider the Chubby (bigger) or the Mr. Big (really big). read more

I'm going to say up front that I'm a little bias because this place lives in my old home town. If you're a Californian and you love your In-n-Out, you're going to have a tough time competing with this one, but thank goodness they've only got one shop in the good ol' midwest. Flub-a-dub chubs, that's not just the name you say, but how your lips and you belly feel after you have one, if not the tastiest, angus burgers around. And as is Chicago tradition, "hold the ketchup," because you're not going to taste this patty right with all the condiments. It's truly a mouthful to behold. If you enjoy their food you'll love some old Chi-town hospitality if you get a chance to meet one of the owners, Roe. She'll treat you like family when you walk in the door... good and not estranged family. One thing that you might figure out is that it is a little hard to find. Your eyes aren't fooling you if you see Flub a Dub Chubs on a sign a little closer to the street since this little mom and pop is underground. You may have to pay for a little street side parking, but it will definitely be worth it. It was a little worse for wear when I went out to visit since it was raining pretty heavily the night before we came, but that didn't some the service from being superior and the food, outstanding. Don't get me wrong, In-n-Out, you'll still carry a place in my heart, but I have to make a little room for a little place called home. read more

I came here for the "real Chicago hot dog" experience. I'm not saying it was bad, but I got the "chubby": "Our signature 1/4lb with the works. The Works consist of Mustard, Onion, Tomato, Relish, Cucumber, Pickle, Celery Salt, Sport Peppers. Make selections if you want it different." The relish was certainly a distinctive neon green, and you could taste the celery salt, but I guess this Chicago style hot dogs wasn't as great as I thought it'd be. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I have say that though the customer service was okay, I'm surprised by the acclaim it has gotten by other Yelpers... read more

Flub a Dub Chub's is a below street level burger/hot dog joint located in the busy streets of Lakeview. The place is pretty small, but offers plenty of tables and stools for quick dining. I love how they showcase the neighborhood kids' drawings throughout the restaurant walls. This shows that they appreciate local art (even if they are just doodles) and their community. I know that this place is famous for their hot dogs, but I couldn't pass up on the roe burger. It is a classic cheeseburger (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, and mustard) with bacon and avocado on a pretzel bun. The patty was cooked at a good medium rare and was pretty juicy. The bacon wasn't burnt and the avocado tied everything together. The fries that accompanied the burger were also pretty tasty. The owner really knows how to do business here because they are genuinely nice. They could talk up a storm with you, even if you never visited this place before. The prices are also pretty reasonable because the burgers are huge and you get a heaping pile of fries. I definitely will be returning to try out their famous hot dogs soon. read more

Best spot in the city for vegan and regular hotdogs !!! Also there tots and cheese sauce ....AMAZING!!!

I ordered the 8oz angus patty on a pretzel bun with pepper jack cheese, bacon, raw onion, extra pickles and mustard. Damn! That was 1 of THE BEST burgers I've had. Juicy, flavorful and DE-LISH!!! I had fries with a side of jalepeño cheese sauce, which was sooooooooo good! And I'm pretty damn picky about cheese sauce when it comes to my fries! I still think $15.29 for a cheeseburger, fries and a pop is quite expensive for a fast food joint, but if I am ever craving a burger again, I will definitely be going to back to Flub A Dub Chub's! read more

I simply love Flub's! This is one of those classics - a hole in the wall dive that makes simply awesome food. Flub's has about 5 tables inside, and maybe 4 more outside in the summer. You might want to check before bringing a crowd. But, the dogs are amazing. They have a dozen and a half different varieties. And not just hot dogs, but polish dogs as well. With nearly every cool thing on them you can imagine. And yes, they also have the classic Chicago dog. And damn good ones. Some of the best in the city, actually. But they also have what look like amazing burgers and sandwiches. I haven't gotten around to trying those, but you can bet I will. Plus, you can get tatter tots! I do wish they had a better drink selection. And they don't serve alcohol. But, they are located right next door to a sports bar, and you can get a beer there and have your hot dog delivered. Gotta love some cooperation! I'm all over Flub's and plan to try their entire menu. I'll let you know how it goes... read more

So good! It's in a cool spot under a building and ten the walls are decorated with pictures from past customers. The people there were cool and helped me out because it was my first time.

Great hotdogs! Fries and tots were okay. If you order online, everything is $2 more. Really for no reason. I asked the guy there because I ordered take out, and when I went to get it I noticed the menu... he said to order through their own website next time. :/ Bummer. Hotdogs are already like $7, online they are $9 through any site not their own. They do come with a side. Def hole in the wall Chicago vibe, good rep of iconic Chicago hotdogs, too. read more

Ordered from here on Postmates this weekend after craving some basic American food. First off, to give credit - the prices here are totally reasonable! That's what led us to pick this place over every other burger place. Our delivery was super quick too, which I also appreciate in the middle of a snowstorm. As far as the food though, I didn't really love it. I ordered a "create your own" veggie burger, and the burger was pretty rubbery and tasteless. I understand this place probably doesn't specialize in veggie burgers, but I still just can't say I enjoyed it. My tater tots were good though, and my boyfriend seemed to like his chicken strips. Overall it's not my favorite place, but would definitely be decent in a late night pinch. read more

I went here for a mini food adventure and it was really good! I got the Flubby which is a classic vienna dog with the Works (Mustard, Tomato, Relish, Cucumber, Pickle, Celery Salt and Spot Peppers). They do not put ketchup on anything and don't ask or else you get put on the Wall of Shame! The hotdog was cooked really well and the celery salt was a nice addition to it. We also shared the breaded Portabello mushrooms which were serve with ranch sauce. Overall, I thought the meal was okay, but I am still waiting on the day I go to Hot Dougs!

Literal definition of a dive hamburger joint. I had been wanting to try Flubs for a while, and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. I had 2 Chicago dogs with tots and it was awesome. Everything on the hot dog tasted really fresh, and the tots were super crispy. They have a pretty wide variety of hot dogs and hamburgers, and the guy working that night told me one of the burgers won best burger in Chicago a few years back. They also have several vegetarian hot dog/hamburger options, so don't be afraid to take your non carnivorous friends. read more

I LOVE this place. I'm moving away soon and I know these hotdogs are going to be one of things I miss the most about Chicago. I have been to flubs a total of 4 times. The first time I just happened to wander in after leaving Threadless T-shirt shop next door. I got the flubby and fries. It was a "died and gone to heaven" experience. I'd had chicago style hotdogs before, but I just don't think anything can compare to the flubby with everything on it. I did once have the chubby (so sausage casing still on) and I did't care for it, but I chalk that up to personal preference, since the taste was on point despite my difficulty eating it. I like to get a side of "shrooms" (deep friend mushrooms). My mouth is watering as I write this guys. The staff are all friendly and just really chill people. The walls are covered in drawings and photos, but make sure you don't get yourself put on the wall of shame. Honestly with all the things on those dogs, I don't see how anyone could think of adding ketchup! Bottom-line, this is a really great restaurant and so far the best hotdog I've had in Chicago. read more
