Hot Dog Heaven is a Fort Lauderdale institution. Founded in 1979 by Chicago natives Barry and…read morePamela Star, the tiny stand brought an authentic taste of the Windy City to South Florida. They served authentic Vienna Beef Chicago with mustard, relish, pickles, tomatoes, celery salt, and sport peppers on a poppy seed bun. In the 1980s, they purchased the modest 780-square-foot building that still houses the restaurant today. Back then, a Chicago dog cost just $1.45. When the Stars finally retired, it looked like Hot Dog Heaven might disappear forever. Fortunately, Joe Barra stepped in to keep the legend alive. Rather than reinventing the place, he kept everything exactly the way people loved it. The menu remains a tribute to classic Chicago street food. You can still order a dog topped with mustard, grilled onions, and sauerkraut, or go for chili and chopped onions. If you want the full Illinois experience, there's the classic Chicago dog piled high with mustard, onions, neon relish, tomatoes, pickles, celery salt, and sport peppers. The menu also includes Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches, sausage and peppers heroes, burgers, and chicken sandwiches. I ordered the Polish sausage with mustard, grilled onions, and hot peppers. The fries arrived hot, crispy, and perfectly crinkle-cut the way God intended. After I finished my sandwich, only one thought came to mind: Dang, that was good. The bun really makes it. This is old school comfort food done right. Prices aren't what they were in 1979. My Polish sausage and fries came to about $13, but it was worth every penny. Inside is tight with stools at the counter along the window, but there are three tables out front where you can enjoy your meal while watching the parade of traffic roar down Sunrise Boulevard. For over 40 years Hot dog Heaven has been serving up exactly what the community is craving. When was the last time you visited this iconic stand?

I did a quick search of the area and Hot Dog Heaven, a place I had marked to visit some day, was near by. Online it looked like you could order ahead, but decided to try my luck ordering in person. I arrived to a place that had a handful of customers all in different phases of ordering or waiting for their food. I'm sure it helped that I was hungry, but I ordered fast. 2 dogs to go and the philly steak egg rolls. I had asked, "what's good to eat in the car on the way home?",, a couple people said the egg rolls. They were right. I don't know how they make them, but I would swear they were made in house. Great beef. The hot dogs made it safely home. a tasty Chicago dog and a Polish sausage. the latter was the winner, with its shrooms and sautéed onions. I'm surprised it took me this long to stop in, but it won't be long till I'm back.

I tried the American Dog (Sauces, Relish, Bacon, Cheese Sauce, Grated Cheese) and also the Supreme dog (Sauces, Corn, Salsa, Chili, Bacon, Cheese Sauce, Crushed Chips, Grated Cheese). Both dogs were super flavorful and so filling. Service was great and i definitely recommend to try.

MONSTER HOTDOGS HERE…read more.. Lucille's is a perfect addition to the Hard Rock food court. This food spot is known for their loaded foot long hotdogs. My wife and I had a long night to come so we ordered the foot long hotdog and a massive basket of classic shoe string fries - its huge so we split it. Some of the other Hotdogs they offer from their small menu are the New York, Italian, Ground Mexican Chorizo, Special Dog and Chilli Cheese. Two other offered options and sides are the french fries, Shrimp Platter, Chicken Wings, Onion Rings and Chilli Fries. For under twenty dollars you can eat a hotdog, fries with a soda. Not a bad price considering its the Hard Rock.

Was psyched until I saw the prices. Ok, these are expensive, they have to be off the hook good for this price! Ok, here's what happened... I paid $9 plus $2 tip for the worst Chicago dog I've ever had! Danny, where was the Poppy seed roll? How about the Sport Peppers? (hint Texas Pete peppers are in every grocery store in America.) These are the two biggest ingredients when it comes to a Chicago Dog! Was there Celery Salt? If so it was drowned under really lousy, really old relish. This shouldn't be on the menu, it's pretty much false advertising.. I basically got a small 40 cent ball park hot dog griddled, with a bunch of cheap Dollar Store condiments piled on. I felt like I was robbed of my money after I tried to eat that mess on a cheap bun. I wouldn't eat again from Danny's even if these small overpriced dogs were buy one get two free :( (On a positive note, I didn't get food poisoning from this roach coach.)

You can tell care goes into the preparation because the balance of seasoning and texture was just right. The cookie shake was just as impressive. It was rich and delicious, and it complemented the burger perfectly without being overly sweet. The combination made for the ultimate comfort meal. The place gets packed pretty quickly, which speaks for itself. You place your order, grab a seat, and wait until your number is called. Seating is bar style, either facing the cooks or along the window, which adds to the casual and energetic vibe. Definitely a spot worth visiting again.

There is a pizza joint around the corner but this place has some interesting items on their menu and they're the first thing you see when you get out of the club or turn on to 2nd Ave to get to your car after a good night. I tried the Jamaican Me Crazy, El Jefe, and Pineapple Express. They were all very good. I'm not sure if they were good cause I've been drinking all night or cause I was starving or because they're just good. Maybe all of the above.
