I've lived in Gilbert for 14 years, and Higley Hot Dog Hut has been a local staple for far longer than I've been around. In a world full of polished, cookie-cutter chain restaurants, this place is a breath of fresh air. The first time I walked through the door, it felt like stepping into a time machine. It took me back to a simpler time when people smiled at each other, knew their neighbors, and gathered around great food and good conversation. Higley Hot Dog Hut isn't trying to be trendy or fancy--it's a genuine piece of the community, and that's exactly why I love it. The hot dogs are absolutely phenomenal, loaded with flavor and made exactly the way a great hot dog should be. Their Italian beef is among the best I've had this side of Chicago. The French fries are always hot, fresh, generously portioned, and seasoned just right. One of my favorite things is that I can still grab an old-fashioned root beer float here. Between the classic menu, friendly atmosphere, and throwback prices, it's a place where you can enjoy a great meal with family and friends without emptying your wallet. Restaurants like this are becoming harder and harder to find, which makes me especially grateful that Higley Hot Dog Hut is still here serving the community. Great food, great people, great prices, and a whole lot of character. Long live the Hut! read more

Drove by one day and said 'Chicago style hot dogs!!!' So yesterday I finally went in, or was it out? Interesting entrance/exit??... you order partially outside, then walk either A) outside patio B) your car or C) into the dining room? C really confused me when nice gal asked 'eating in dining room?' Huh? Didn't know there was one, but once you get your bearings you'll see what I mean. Service: 100% great as friendly counter gal Food: I do love Chicago dogs and it ranked high on my scale Seating: nice outdoor patio. Did not go inside. What a fun, cute little hole in the wall hoping with the best hot dogs! Question: can I order a kraut dog with mustard and Swiss cheese???? Will return to get my question answered! *****C A S H only**** read more

Small hot dog stand. Good dogs. Good, quick service. Not a restaurant - no seating. A small parking lot, a window for ordering and a pickup window. We both had dogs. They also have sausages. Cash only, no cards accepted. Good dogs. read more

Came in today to grab me a Chicago dog with all the fixins.... It was outstanding as usual. I forgot to take a picture of it because I was in a hurry and decided to just dive into it! Food is always good here! Never had anything bad. Love the service I get and the low key vibe inside. Everyone is so nice to interact with. read more

A cash only place but worth it if you want an old town experience with one of the best hotdog experiences that is true throughout Gilbert's history. This place sells authentic Vienna beef hotdogs and try all the various options. Parking is limited and don't forget to bring cash. The owners are friendly and know their craft. The fries are also better than most places. I would have posted pictures but it looks so good we ate them before I realized I didn't take any pics. read more

Great service, friendly and helpful. Cash only! Exactly what we were looking for. Yummmy!! read more

Food was awesome!! Service was great. Food came out quick and fresh. Love the vibe there, old but good to go. Corn dogs are fantastic, and I loved their chili dog!!! read more

I've heard of this place by so many people. At first I was sort of scared... it looks like it's a closed down trailer home. Dumb, naive me should have realized places like that are always delicious. A "Hole in the wall", respectfully. It's basically a food truck with a more permanent building. It's definitely nothing fancy, but it gets the job done! The staff was very friendly and quick to get my order out. I ordered a variety of hot dogs such as Bagel Dog & Corn Dog, and an order of Chili Cheese Fries. The food was delicious. The corn dog, especially, was so juicy and crispy! I'll definitely be back sometime soon. Don't judge a book (restaurant) by its cover! read more

One of the best places in Gilbert to get a Chicago style hotdog! And the Italian beef is amazing and you can't go wrong with a side of their fries. Food is super affordable and super quick! i try to stop by at least once a week read more

Best hot dogs and fries! An icon of a restaurant. Had not changed much in decades; which I love.

This place is old hole in the wall. Which hard to find in the east valley. Service was great and the place has a lot of character. The hotdogs are great! I had a chocolate shake it was very average. But my only complaint and isn't a big complaint from me was the cash only. I would definitely recommend this place read more

Great dog. Love Chicago trimmings. Next time I'll try the chilly dog. They had many types to choose from. Nice prices. Not expensive at all.

I love supporting family owned small businesses and I've gone here several times already. My favorite is the chilli cheese tamales. It's such good comfort food. I also like the Chicago style polish sausage. Simple and tasty. The folks are always friendly and when the weather is cool, we like to eat at one of the outside tables. read more

As a former Chicago area resident, this is the best Chicago hot dog in the East Valley. Don't even think about Portillos - this is so much better. read more

Best authentic Chicago dog I've found since moving here FROM Chicago 15 years ago!! Fries in a brown paper bag, great pickle!! read more

How many times have I driven past the little hut with the hot dog on top? Well, today was the day to try them out. Overall it was a fairly good experience. It has a small, modest interior with only eight or nine tables. There are also a few tables outside where you can dine. They only take cash. My husband and I could both get hot dogs, drinks and share some fries for $20 which isn't bad these days. I liked everything about my chili cheese dog. It was fresh, served hot and the toppings were generous. My only major gripe was that they robbed us on the fries, not coming close to filling up the bag. A bummer, considering we were sharing. I think we agreed it was worth going back to Higley Hot Dog Hut if we were in the mood for a good Chicago style hot dog though. (We'll just check the fries next time...) read more

We have been LOVING Higley Hot Dog Hut since the mid 1990's ! This family owned and operated this place not only has great food, but the family is so cool ! We love going there, they know us and never disappoint. Nancy H read more

It's a hut. They have good Chicago dogs and only take cash. The food was served fast and we were able to grab a seat inside. The people were friendly. Not much ambience to speak of, but the prices are reasonable. read more

Doesn't look like much driving by but I wanted a good dog so I used Yelp to see what I could find. Higley Hotdog Hut Very highly rated! I ordered regular dog with the works and a chili fry. The Works really is everything!The dog was great, not sure what type of bun as it had poppyseed and was soft and scrumptious. This place should be on Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives. Lol Great little place! read more

Your true mom and pops shop! They've been here since 1986. Haven't updated the decor or accepted a credit card since! I love these gems. The hot dogs are good. Nothing mind blowing, other than adding the peppers and all the fixings on top. The Italian beef was great, super tender. Fries are great! Even the chicken nuggets were awesome. read more

Higley Hot Dog Hut is a home grown little hot dog stand with indoor seating and great dogs. Located just west of Higley Rd on Williams Field it is small but has about 8 parking spots for those wanting to dine in. The eatery takes only cash, which is more of a fading novelty these days than an inconvenience. You order on the covered outside stand area, and pay. You can wait for your order and take it to go, or you can walk inside and eat ar one of half a dozen or so tables. The staff seems kind, and small, but they make consistent excellent hot dogs the way you ask for them. I often order the Chicago style dog, which is done right and tastes great. I also like their polish sausage, which sometimes runs out if it is a busy day. Today, I also had a milkshake which is done right- a real handspun shake with ice cream. The staff is kind and grateful and always helpful. Prices are good too. If you have never tried Higley Hot Dog Hut, and you love dogs, you must check them out! See you there! read more

Really love this place. The people ate friendly, the food is great. We keep going back.

Their Italian sausage is really good and my wife likes the Chicago dog. They are priced fair and you get plenty to eat

$cash only little roadside joint. Delicious hotdogs!! My daughter and I enjoyed two different styles. Bun was fresh tasting, all the fixings on them were delicious. Nice little tables outside for eating. Definitely worth the stop. Just remember to bring cash. We had 2 hotdogs, one side of kraut and a large pop, it was just under 13$usd. read more

"It shouldn't be hard to find a good Chicago dog in Gilbert"... to the shrieks of folks from Illinois! After attending the Gilbert Regional Fireworks last night and waiting in line for 45 minutes to get a dog from a food truck, only to be told they were out as we were next in line. I couldn't shake my want, no need for a good dog. I decided to try Higley Hot Dogs out. How in 12 years living around here have I not tried this place? It was easy, quick, inexpensive (cash only) and a darn good snack. My wife and I each got a Chicago dog, shared fries and a large drink for $12. I wouldn't call it game changing or finding ChiDog nirvana but it was fine. Funny enough what I liked the most was the OLD school inside. This place has been here since 83 when Williams Air Force base was the only thing around. The flight patches on the wall were a testimony to its longevity. Bottom line, it was a great place, satisfied my need and we will be back. read more

Higley Hot Dog Hut - Updated Menu. July 5th 2021 - Hot Dogs Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Best hot dogs in town! Friendly, family business, love the quaintness of dining inside. I bring visiting friends and family here. I'm committed to supporting small businesses and this is a favorite gem. read more

Higley Hot Dog Hut is pretty good, it's more of a hot dog cart you see on the side of the road or at Home Depot, but with a wider menu. We had the Hot Dog, Corn Dog, Bagel Dog, Brat, Italian Beef Sandwich, and fries. Hot Dogs, Brat, Italian Beef, and Fries were very good. Corn Dog, Bagel Dog were not that impressive. Wife said the corn dog was like a frozen corn dog heated in the microwave, just soft with no crunch. I had the bagel dog, I tried it since it was something different. Not to my liking, not saying it's bad. I'll just stay with the pretzel bun dog. Everything else was very good read more

The food is limited but so good!! Italian beef and French fries are great! The staff is great!

Nice place for a good Chicago style dog and fries. Friendly people behind the counter and quick service. But bring cash, no credit cards accepted read more

*Certified Shop Local and Open during COVID-19* Chicago ambassadors in Gilbert AZ! They serve up my favorite Chicago-style dog: All beef hot dog + Yellow mustard and sweet relish + Chopped onions, sliced tomatoes + 1 Pickle Spear, 2 sport peppers (spicy) + Dash of celery salt + All on a poppyseed bun I don't usually like many of those toppings individually, but together they unite for a great harmony for your taste buds. Serve it up with a side of fries, add cheese and chili, if you like, and wash it down with a Pepsi. Even as a Coke guy, the extra sweetness of Pepsi meshes well with the salty/savory hot dog. There is both outdoor and indoor seating, which is quaint and fairly dim. It has the charm of an older house, like eating at my grandparents' house. The owner is friendly and takes her Chicago roots seriously here! It's a cash-only establishment. There's a gas station, Walgreens, and Bank of America nearby in case you need to re-up. $20 will get you a long way. read more

The hotdog was OK it's just that I didn't know they take cash only so I didn't have any cash when I got there so it was kind of embarrassing asking my girlfriend, that place needs to upgrade to using a credit card! read more

Best hot dogs -- all Vienna beef and (important to my wife) skinless. Unbelievably good chili dog. But the Italian beef was as good or better. Incredibly lean and tender meat with amazing (I'd say even drinkable) authentic jus. The bun was great but, since soggy bread makes me gag, in the future I'll order with the bread on the side. Small dining area, cash only.... so how have they survived the fast food incursions? Just the best tasting food and quick service you'll ever find. Not kidding, not a relative. Fantastic place. read more

Hot dogs are mid. But on a hot summer's morning if I wake up hankering for a hot dog; you already know I'm rolling up to the Higley hot dog. As far as hot dogs go they're pretty good, but the hours are just for lunch, so if you wanna go there plan around that. All and all I don't think they serve the best food I've ever had, but I enjoy it enough to return if I'm feeling a hot dog. Plenty of menu options to mix it up and feel like you're getting a better experience than Costco (the only other place I can think of at the moment that sells hot dogs). If you are a hot dog fan this is a great place to eat one. read more

If I lived here, Higley's would be my go-to for Hot Dogs & Polish. Dogs/Polish are so on point I almost thought I was in Chicago. lol This place is a little shack with good Chicago style ambience. Mom and I have been here twice. I had the Polish this time and it was wonderful. Polish had that Snap, veggies=onions, tomatoes (diced not sliced, but NBD), sport peppers, dill pickle spear and as a bonus, little slice of cucumber very fresh tasting. Nice. So if you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by. They also serve Italian Beef/sausage, haven't tried it yet, but maybe before I leave. Oh, only reason I didn't 5 star it, fries are not fresh-cut and it's a pet peeve of mine, other than that, highly recommend. read more
