    Chicago dog and fries combo
    Shereen W.

    The food was good. I ordered the Chicago dog with the fries and a root beer. My first time having a Chicago style dog and I really loved the flavors. Onions, relish, pickles, tomato slices, mustard and a few chilies on a beef hotdog in a sesame seed bun Honestly, a friend recommended this place or I might not have gone. Made a special trip to try it out. It's the first in my "try new places and foods" adventure for the remainder of the summer and I am happy I did.

    My husband saw this spot on Instagram and I was in Westminster today for work so I picked up some dogs to try it out. The tiny building has a walk up window with a few tables and umbrellas and also has a drive through. I'm not sure how much of the food is home made, if any, but they made our order of fries fresh so I know that at least everything gets put together at the time of your order. I ordered the Chicago dog, Italian beef (with hot peppers) and chili cheese fries. The fries are good. The chili and cheese were a little light but overall the amount was enough for one person as a meal. My husband loved the Chicago dog and Italian beef. The meat was soft, the peppers were hot and pickled, and the Vienna brand hot dog had a nice snap. Would definitely recommend!

    Just Dogs has been on my radar for a while and I'm so glad I finally stopped. This is a classic, no frills Chicago style hot dog spot in Westminster with a drive thru and walk up window, outdoor seating only, and a menu that goes on forever. Old school, casual, and exactly what it needs to be. We ordered four dogs and made one a combo with fries and a drink. The Sauerkraut Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, and Polish Sausage were all solid. Good quality Vienna beef, classic toppings, exactly what you'd want for a quick and satisfying lunch. Nothing that blew us away but nothing to complain about either. Reliable, tasty hot dogs that hit the spot. The Bacon Chicago Double Dog though? That was the star of the show. Two Vienna hot dogs bacon wrapped in one poppy seed bun with fries, mustard, onions, tomatoes, relish, and sport peppers. The flavor profile was absolutely spot on and the bacon took it to another level. Loved every bite of that one. Their menu is really extensive so there's a little something for everyone. If you're in the Westminster area and craving a quick, satisfying bite this is the spot to stop. Been around for a long time for good reason

    Our visit to experience Chicago food as an ex-pat...Saw this online and then realized I had bookmarked this on Yelp. We had a free afternoon, so away we went. The small drive-thru hot dog stand is in a parking lot for an abandoned Pep Boys and also next to a Sketchers store. It appears a little run-down, sun bleached. Probably seen better days. There are several Vienna Beef umbrellas on the patio eating area. The menu is extensive and there are several appealing combos. We got two Italian beef sandwiches, and two Chicago dogs. One was a combo with fries and a drink. The total haul was $40.41. The Chicago dogs presentation was spot on! An actual poppy seed bun, sport peppers, nuclear day-glo green relish. Only the celery salt was missing. Weenie had a good snap. The Italian beef was moist, but maybe too thinly sliced. I think the bread should have been dunked to make it better. I would definitely come back to try the Maxwell polish, and have another Chicago dog!

    The cutest little mom & pop food stand. I've drove past this place all the time and I pointed it out to my bf one day. To my surprise, he told me he used to stop by here all the time when he was in high school. We agreed we'd go try it if we were ever in the area and today was that day. We both got their Chicago dog and shared a large chili cheese fries. I'm a huge chili cheese fries lover and their fry to chili ration is perfect! I've gone to a few places where they don't add enough chili so this was the perfect amount. This was my first time trying a Chicago dog and it was honestly delicious. Perfect amount of savory and sourness. I also ordered their Thai tea and usually I get no boba but forgot to mention that when I ordered. I still drank it though and their boba pearl was actually nice and chewy. Their Thai tea isn't too milky which is how I prefer my Thai tea because I love the bitterness of the tea. They have a small drive thru you can order from or you can park and walk up to their ordering window on the opposite side of the drive thru. We decided to sit and enjoy our order since the sun was beginning to set. Also do y'all see those prices?! Definitely a good stop and affordable. I also believe it's Cambodian owned! All in all, it's definitely a cute spot to stop by if you're ever in the area and I'd definitely come back to try something different!

    Best Hot dogs in the OC area! I have been searching for a quality hot dog place for years and discovered this little hidden gem on google maps! A delicious variety across Vienna hot dogs, burgers, fries and ice cream. Ordered a jalapeño and cheese dog and fries combo for a beach day and I was amazed at how delectable a simple food could be. Definitely will be coming back anytime I'm visiting because I'll never forget how good of an experience I had!

    chicago hot dog, chili cheese dog, onion rings

    This unassuming shack with a small drive through and maybe 3 outdoor tables has some of the best hotdogs for a great price. I've never seen this place despite living around the area for years. I would recommend anyone to come and give it a try and will be back myself.

    I'm from Chicago and these dogs were really good, haven't had a good dog since I've left. People were nice and so was the seating. Really good value as well would recommend

    Three dollar credit card fee they don't warn you about. Hot dogs are decent. Chili fries are large. Slow service.

    Great Dogs! It's definitely a hole in the wall place but the food is great. I usually stop here before my surf sesh and it's always good.

    When you order a Hot Dog with onions, they charge you for the onions. What place ever charges for onions?

    Do they have beans in the chili dogs like Portillos? That's a no go for me

    No, they do not have beans in the chili. It is a meat-only chili, like a chili topping should be.

    My go to place when I'm driving by the area and not sure what get that's reliable and consistent…read more Pros -Prices are very reasonable. -A variety of burger sizes and types. -Everything from burgers, hots dogs, fries, tots, have hit the spot. Haven't tried their salads yet. -Friendly -Easy to customize items. -Great value, quality, and quantity for the price. Cons -Can take some time to get your order. -Restroom is a bit tricky. -Parking can be limited if this place gets busy.

    I can cross another place off my list of places to eat. I'd been meaning to give this place a try…read morefor some time, now, and, today was that time. I ordered the Western Bacon Cheezburger Combo, with Onion Rings as my side, and, a Raspberry Iced Tea as my drink. The place was busy-ish, with people eating their food. It's outdoor seating, only, which presents its own challenges when there's a wind blowing. But, I digress. Aside from maybe a couple people conversing, and, the music playing, not to mention skaters from the neighboring skate park rolling up, and/or out, it's relatively quiet. Just as an aside: That wasn't a complaint. In fact, it's primo Real Estate being next door to a Skate Park, as far as I'm concerned. My food was ready in about 12 minutes or so, which was nice. My burger was bigger than the last couple of burgers I've eaten fairly recently , which was great. Definitely tastier than the last couple of burgers I've had. I'll have to eat here a couple more times to truly give it a final verdict, but, I was pleased with my burger. I have yet to give a mention of my onion rings, so, here goes: This is how Onion Rings should be done! Golden Brown, and, not Orange. Tasty, for sure! Overall, like I said, I'm pleased with my experience. I'll have to eat here at least once more to truly get a feel(taste) for their food, but, like I said, I'm pleased.
