    The BLT Chub was juicy without being greasy, bun had a nice crisp, And the toppings were perfectly balanced. The real surprise were the tater tots, super crispy, absolute perfection. What really sealed it was finishing my meal, thanking the staff and having them remember my name. That personal touch is rare. For 14 bucks, worth every penny.

    Had to try the Chicago style hot dog while in Chicago, of course! Food - 4.5/5 - I liked this a lot more than I thought it I would! The hot dog was so yummy, on a perfect bun for everything that's in it. The hot dog itself felt like such better quality too than just a normal one on the street. The tater tots were a nice addition too. Service - 5/5 - The guy at the cashier was so friendly. Went out of his way to give condiments too. Food was super quick too! Ambiance - 5/5 - A quick grab and go spot, with just a few tables to eat in. The variations of the hot dog drawings around the restaurant were nice too. Loved it! Can't wait to have this again one day!

    Good Chicago dog and I enjoyed the somewhat grungy vibe on the inside. A little expensive at $15 for a single hotdog combo, but it was tasty so oh well.

    Great atmosphere and fun vibe! Classic chicago dog. I love all the artwork on the walls - there is mold on some of them though (the ones near the bottom of the wall) so that kind of put me off. Food was good though, and everyone was nice!

    Totally stumbled on this place randomly when trying to find food in Lakeview, and was decently surprised. This place is simply a fast casual dining spot that I believe is locally owned. The staff is super nice and accommodating, they want you to feel well catered to and the vibe very much gives you family owned vibes. Food-wise they have a bunch of interesting options but are bound to give you a solid burger regardless what you choose. While pricing seems in line with everything else you'd see in the area, I would definitely take this over going to a chain/fast food place.

    We called to see if they were open. He said yes but we're almost out of hot dogs. He put 2 aside for us until we could get there. So sweet! Park at Marianos across the street. It's free. The food was good. The hot dogs had the proper snap. Good flavor. Fries were excellent. Tater tots were tater tots. We'll be back.

    Came here on a recommendation from friends. Flub A Dub Chub's is a cozy neighborhood joint serving an array of hot dogs. I had The Reuben with tater tots/fries. The hot dog was juicy, meaty, and so satisfying with the perfectly melted cheese. So many options...I would love to come back next time we are in town to try something else!

    Such a fun local spot. My friend took me here as I was visiting from out of town. I'm a sucker for Chicago hot dogs. Service was quick and the cashier that took our order was friendly. I loved all drawings of hot dogs they had plastered all over their walls. Fun spot, delicious hot dogs.

    Classic Chicago Hot dog joint Located across the street from Mariano's so you can grab a bite before you get your groceries. There's stairs, so not ADA accessible, but it's a short climb. Staff were professional and food was hot. The hot dog had the classic profile and was everything you could expect. Tater tots were nice and crunchy. They do ask if you want ketchup... for your tots :) Would recommend if your parents are visiting and would want a local classic.

    I feel like this place is a hidden gem. Sitting below on busy Broadway in lakeview it could be hard to miss. My run club decided to come as a meetup and the entire place was so accommodating to our large group. You can't beat the price to get a hot dog, fries, and drink for under $10. It was really tasty and the drawings on the wall are so creative.

    I've been hearing so much about Chicago hot dogs and decided since I was in town why not try one so…read moreI checked out Portilo's & Barnelli's Chicago that so many people told me to try. It is a pretty neat place when went in I saw that they have a lot of memorabilia all around the place. Also famous people have also been there with their autographs on their pictures. This place was quite busy which tells me that it must be good. It was very organized you can order your meal on a kiosk or at the counter. We decided to order it at the counter I ordered a famous Chicago hot dog which is an all beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun topped with chop onions, sweet pickle relish, tomato slices, dill pickle and a small spicy pepper with no ketchup but does have yellow mustard the price you could not bet it was very reasonable my guest ordered an Italian sandwich. After ordering the cashier gives you a receipt with your number on it and you step to the side. Then you wait until your number is called and that's how you get your order. Yes it was crowded but we waited for our two items for at least a half an hour which to me was unacceptable but besides that the place is really neat to try and the hot dog as well as the Italian sandwich was delicious definitely will be back again fingers crossed that we don't have to wait so long but the wait was worth it. They also have lots of seating around the restaurant. There is a second story as well you could sit up there.

It has that classic late night comfort food vibe and feels like one of those staple spots you have to try at least once. First night I ordered a polish hot dog with everything on it and a fish sandwich w/ extra grilled onions. Super cool that your order comes with fries and I added a cheese cup both times. In my opinion the fries were mid the first go around, but second time they were better. Definitely tasted better dipped in cheese. They were kinda airy in texture, if that makes sense. Polish hot dog was around a 6.5-7/10 for me. It did taste better warmed up the next day. What I was most obsessed with was the double cheeseburger and fish sandwich! both were easily a 10/10. Super good prices and worth the money. Also, the chile peppers were sooo bomb and hotter than I expected ! I wanted to eat them all, but they were packing some serious heat! The lemon Italian ice is where it's at, make sure to order one! You can also mix it with strawberry, but both times people recommended the lemon and now I see why. The line gets super active and busy past 10-11pm, but during the daytime it's way less crowded. Even when it gets packed the line moves pretty quick. They stay open late and close at 1am which is nice.

    The smell of caramelized onions hits pretty much immediately as you approach the window. No line…read moremidday. We were served quickly and got the polish sausage that comes with fries. Both were nice and hot. Fries were crispy and that first snap into the juicy sausage was worth the trip. No seating, so be prepared to eat in your car and get a bit messy. Also be warned the peppers are legitimately spicy, those serranos had my partner sweating. Glad I tried it, but not something I'd eat all the time, great late night drinking kind of food.

We live just a mile away from Superdawg and just went here with our 4-year-old son, who calls it "hot dogs on the roof." Whenever I'm hungry for a Chicago dog and delicious fries, I immediately head to Superdawg to satisfy my craving. There is no other place like it, and it's a true Chicago establishment. I like that there are options for where you can eat. You can eat in your car and have the car hop bring you food. You can eat outside at the picnic tables. Or you can order inside and eat in their dining area. I also just found out that they provide catering! Superdawg will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that it remains open for generations to come.

    Superdawg is a Chicago area institution as an old school drive-in business with carhop service…read more It's probably been over 20 years since I last visited this place. There were two dozen stalls in which you could pull in your vehicle and use an intercom box with the menu printed on the side to transmit your order. A worker would then bring the food/drink to your parking space and use a handheld device to swipe your credit card. Alternatively, you could do what I did which was park and then walk up to a service window and order from there. Adjacent to the service window was a door that led to a room with countertop seating which served as a dine-in area. There were also a few canopied tables on the sidewalk at the edge of the parking lot. Their Chicago-style hot dogs were the featured products, however most of the menu was made up of other fare like fish/shrimp sandwiches, burgers, grilled cheese, chicken tenders, french fries, shakes, malts, sundaes, cones, etc. The price for the namesake Superdawg was now a whopping $9.30! I ordered one of those that consisted of a cardboard box packed with a poppy seed bun containing a pure beef hot dog dressed with all the trimmings. Those ingredients were golden mustard, tangy piccalilli, a kosher dill pickle, chopped Spanish onions and a hot pepper. Included in the box was Superfries which were extra crispy crinkle cut french fries. I also purchased a regular size Mellow Vanilla Supershake. I took a seat at a countertop inside the dine-in area which had only customer when I walked in. As I opened my box, it was packed so tightly that you couldn't even tell there was a hot dog inside (see my photo). The Superfries lined the top while the pickle and sport peppers also surrounded the poppy seed bun. I finished the fries first that I felt were overdone. The hot dog was normal size with a good snap to the frank. The neon green relish was unique as the bright color stood out. For a hot dog and a measly amount of fries, the cost felt high in my opinion. That being said, I didn't try a similar combo at any other spots around town for comparison. The vanilla milkshake was thick and creamy and the best part of my order. I gave a three star rating for my dining experience at Superdawg.

But I had to see what the hype around Gene & Jude's was all about. ​I caught them at a great time with a short line. Their menu is delightfully simple and typical classic Chicago style with minimalist topping choices (mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers) so ordering was a breeze. A single dog with fries and a medium drink came out to about $9. ​While waiting, I loved watching their team work like a well-oiled machine behind the counter. Fresh hand-cut potatoes were dropping into the fryer, and the assembly crew was constantly building dogs and piling massive heaps of steaming fries on top. High output, fantastic energy! I even asked one of the prep guys if I could snap a picture, and he was super cool about it. ​The meal itself was awesome. The fries were piping hot, perfectly salted, and very generous in portion. Once I dug down to the dog, that first bite took me by complete surprise, the snap of the natural casing and the flavor were incredible. Before I knew it, I was clearing the paper wrapper and completely understanding why people order double dogs or multiple single dogs. Be warned it will have your back talking to you too. Lol!
