Interstate Dogs

I was craving a hot dog and was happy to find not one far from us! Unfortunately, the chilly cheese…read moredog left me underwhelmed as it was loaded with cheesy sauce but hardly any chili. The star of the show were the fries but I specially drove out to try their hot dog. May be next time if I am in the area and end up in here I would try a traditional chicago hot dog instead. The location is nice as it's by the water and I can see myself grabbing a hot dog and walking along the water with my son and husband.

Visited the area and was at the farmers market prior to eating here for lunch. I've never had a…read moreChicago dog before, so not a whole lot to compare it to, but I enjoyed this combo. I asked for fresh fries and they were more than willing to do that. Some of the best fries I've had. They have friendly/polite service.

The root beer float isn't the best I've had, but it was fine. It's a car hop model, which I didn't realize at first since I'm used to places with carside service having a different kind of physical structure and this was basically just a parking lot. I don't know for certain if they are cash only but that would be my guess.

Our burger club always ventures a little further out during Thanksgiving and the summer when our…read moreschedules are a little lighter, so in 2025, we ventured out to Kenosha for The Garage. It was a weeknight, but the street we were driving up to get here was a little dark and run down. But don't let that deter you. They have a nice sized parking lot for their location. Then we walked inside and found a narrow room with a bar running the length of one long wall and counter height tables and chairs perpendicular to the opposite wall. They really jammed in as much as they could in the space that they have. The ambience was dark and moody. They were playing hard rock and the bar had a couple of regulars sitting inside. At the end of the bar at the far end, was a cubicle of a kitchen. That's where the magic happens. Their menu is simple: appetizers, burgers, and build your own burgers. That's it. We all built our own burgers and they have a LOT of options. However, the build your own may start at $9, but each topping adds to the cost. But who cares? The burgers were phenomenal! Their website clearly states, "Best burgers, ever." And they're not wrong. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. And everything is made in this tiny area at the end of the bar. We were the only people in the place after about 20 minutes, but again, who cares. The staff were extremely friendly. Their playful banter and bickering when they cleaned up was hilarious to listen to, and they were lovely to talk to as well. One of our group wanted to pick up some Spotted Cow beer (you can't get it in Illinois) and asked about a place to get it nearby. They suggested Shenanigan's with a drive-through just a couple blocks away. We have to make another trek back. They are awesome and their burgers are great, too!

I am extremely happy to say that its not so with Old Chicago Red Hots. After being open for almost a year the quality of their food and service is still as exceptional as it was when I first stopped in. I still they have the best burger for your money in Kenoshs. A 1/3# burger with ALL the fixings with a big order of really good fries for $7.49 can't be beat. When they put lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions on they put on alot, not just a little bit. This is absolutely my place for a burger in Kenosha. Oh, and their Chicago Dogs are really good to. If you order two dogs each comes with a large amount of fries and if you elect to not take fries on the second dog they cut $1.00 off your order. Lastly the restaurant is still kept very clean.

That said, it wasn't anything that really stood out or made me want to come back. The fries weren't the crinkle-cut style I was expecting, and the pizza puff was slightly undercooked. The restaurant seemed to be staffed by a younger crew, so a little patience may be needed during your visit. For me, this will probably be a one-time stop. It's a bit of a drive from the Kenosha lakefront, and I think the area could really use more consistent hot dog spots nearby.

The burger was well prepared, however the blue cheese spread wasn't obvious. Perhaps the fact they also have American cheese on the burger caused the flavored to blend, which came across more like sharp cheddar. Still tasted good, but I was wanting blue cheese. The fries were very good, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The peach shake was nice and thick with tasty chunks of peaches.

It's a classic drive-in experience, for better or worse. I'm not going to say it's exactly pleasant to sit in a hot car surrounded by other hot cars spewing exhaust, but it is what it is... I personally wouldn't mind a few additional tables scattered around instead of just the two. Service is prompt and they have a menu that, especially in today's economic climate, feels exceptionally priced, so much so that it encourages you to order a bevy of items just to try them out. If you're a fellow Kenosha-frequenter, or just stopping in for the first time, definitely check out Big Star! Grab a sampler and head over to the lake to enjoy.
