I watched them from my hotel room for 5 hours waiting for them to open. From 1pm to 6pm and nothing. Prime time dinner hours and they couldn't have made a cent. Now I'm hammered and have to door dash Taco Bell. Would have ordered at least 6 dogs but oh well I guess. read more

Good food, but I literally endured 3 weeks of horrendous food poisoning and nonstop hives after I ate at their food truck back earlier in December in Rosemont while at a convention. I have never had allergies or a reaction to food in my life like this. My husband and I got cheese fries and almost the same hot dog with ketchup and onions, except the only difference with mine is I put pickles on my hot dog. He never got sick and I had horrible cramps, nonstop diarrhea, and vomiting on a 10 hour ride from Illinois to Tennessee. My stomach is finally settling and my consistent rash is finally going away after 3 weeks. I guess even with how cold it was outside, the condiments weren't staying cold enough for safety, and I was "lucky" enough to get violently ill. Be careful eating their food. read more

It was just okay. I love food trucks and was excited to try hot dogs in Chicago but they didn't really offer an authentic one and that was disappointing. I got the BBQ option and the bacon on it was still a bit raw that I had to take it off. The fried were standard and nothing to write home about. The wait for the food, for what it was, was too long. The people working the truck weren't all that pleasant. The poutine fries were really good. A friend ordered them and they were fantastic. That's about the only thing I liked. read more

I'm partial to food trucks. Food trucks that serve poutine. I'm in. Is it original Montreal type poutine - No. But and this is a good but, although they use melted cheddar cheese, the grilled onions, the home made gravy, top that with their sweet pulled pork and perfection. It just works. The Chicago style dog is humongous- but it's not Vienna Beef and I can taste the difference. Vienna is better read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I chose this food truck to get lunch from one day. I liked the variety of hot dog styles that they offer, with "Chicago Style" of course being one of them. So yes, I went with the Chicago Style dog and the hotdog had the delicious "snap" to it when bitten into. The condiments and toppings that came with it was nice and fresh. I ordered the combo which came with fries, and those fries were delicious. It was nicely salted and crisp, just the way I like them. I dont normally like paying more than $8 for lunch but can see myself splurge a little for a good hotdog. I see myself coming back to try their other hotdog styles that they offer. read more

Kate & Jan Hot Dogs - Food Trucks Near Me

I was at the Menard's in Mount Prospect and noticed this food truck in the parking lot. I was intrigued. I bought the Chicago Style Hot Dog and French Fries. The hot dog was exceptional, the best I've had, better than Portillo's or Superdawg - and I know that sounds hard to believe. The fresh cut french fries order was huge. I asked if they will be there tomorrow (Sunday) and they will be. I want to try some other items. I am really impressed. read more

Didnt toast the bun on our burgers..only decent thing was fries. Luckily we were starving so was able to eat but still..make it fresh

I was pleased to be able to get a hot dog here during the Pokemon Go 2019 Chicago event. They have all their toppings outside so you can decide how to dress up your hotdog. This made it easier for me since I was splitting it with the hubbs and there was no way he wanted any toppings. It was tasty and the fries we got were great. It wasn't the kind of thing that I'd seek out outside a convention but if I saw them again at another event I already know the food tastes good so I'd return. read more

It definitely hit the spot! The food truck was parked right outside the Art Institute, with bright bold colors painted on the truck. Very inviting after a morning full of walking and taking in some art at the institute. We ordered Chicago dogs (beef) and European Fries. Nommers!! Good flavor, just enough toppings and made fast and to order. Good portions and friendly service. I would recommend it especially if you don't want to go through the hassle of finding a restaurant, waiting to be seated, ordering, etc. We grabbed a seat in the park right next to the Institute and enjoyed our Chicago dogs. Try them! read more

Thank you Kate and Jan for being our late night food truck for our wedding. We wanted something that represented our theme which was Chicago Local Rustic and the Hot Dog truck delivered. Everyone thought they were the best hot dogs and we made a great choice in having you guys there. Thank you! read more

Kate & Jan Hot Dogs - a food truck at night - Food Trucks Near Me

I had a truly terrific grilled chicken sandwich. Really, it was much better than I expected from a place that specializes in hot dogs, burgers and poutine. The bun was perfect, the toppings were great, oh yes, Yelp, I am a fan. I withheld a star because the fries were kinda blah and average. If I see this truck again (and I hope I do!) I'll grab a bag of potato chips from CVS/Walgreens to accompany the chicken sandwich. read more

I had the poutine at a street festival they happened to be at and honestly it's the worst poutine I've ever had. The cheese sauce is disgusting and the gravy was just salty. Very disappointing for $10 and the fries were pretty mediocre. read more

I was excited to see a new food truck which I hadn't tried but when I tried the burger it was so blah. They somehow found a way to remove all of the flavor! The burger patty tasted like nothing, the cheese wasn't even close to being melted and the bun was cold. It wasn't like the food got cold because it was chilly out, it was never warm at all. I really wanted to like this place but sadly, I could not. Maybe it was just an off day but food trucks aren't cheap so you really have one chance to get something right and they missed all the marks. read more

I probably will not go back. I tried the Polish. The casing was chewy. I got cheese fries; the fries were good, the cheese was nacho cheese sauce . The can of pop must of been in the cooler for 5 minutes before they gave it to me - it was bearly chilled. read more

Best food truck in the city !!! I'm food truck lower and I really like the food they have read more

Ordered this because it was the only truck that was not selling tacos in the area but was extremely disappointed in the quality of the food. The hot dog was too large and overfilled to eat comfortably and it was barely lukewarm even though I ate it immediately. The burger was even colder, it was so cold the cheese couldn't melt. These people have a tiny menu with the most basic dishes and they can't even get them remotely right. Avoid at all costs. read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich combo with cheese fries and a Diet Coke, this totaled $13. That price was a bit high for a food truck meal. The food was incredibly fresh and hot. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, just a basic chicken sandwich. The cheese fries were also good, not your average nacho cheese on top, but better. read more

Solid Chicago hot dog and Polish sausage. Toppings were good and generous. Fries were fresh and hot (add your own salt). Can't complain!

Really Good! I really love food trucks so when I see a new one that I haven't tried I feel extra excited. Today this particular truck was parked not far from my job. I originally had a taste for tacos, but I was happy to see Kate & Jan and decided to give them a try. I had the Kate and Jan Burger, which included avocado, pepper jack cheese and a special sauce. The burger was juicy and all of the toppings complimented each other. Next time I definitely want to give the spicy sausage a try. read more

I'm a burger fan and I'm extremely lucky to have Kate & Jan outside of my office for lunch. The signature burger is my favorite, it's simple and cooked how ever you like it. I've eaten the same burger two days in a row and they already almost know my name. read more

I give it the two stars because the fries were good, but the rest of the experience left a lot to be desired. First, they seemed completely disorganized from the ordering to the delivery of the food and it took way too long. The burger was dry and not tasty at all. Even the coke was warm and it was in a can, no reason they can't keep a cooler stocked with cold beverages. read more

Good dog, great fries. I'm more of a steamed hotdog guy, but this grilled dog was very good.

It's pretty terrible. For a $13 burger you're getting school cafeteria food in the range of mushy canned green beans. It's not even seasoned. Tried the tacos on a different day and the tortilla just fell apart instantly like it was wrapped in single-ply toilet paper. read more

Decent portions for the money and the polish sausage had a great char to it. That being said, in terms of flavor, the worst polish sausage I've ever had, completely bland and I tried it by itself. Too big a bun so way too bready and although do-it-yourself toppings has its perks, selling a polish sausage without an option for grilled onions in Chicago is a pretty big faux pas. $12 for the sausage, some fries (pretty good), and a bottled water. read more

Really good hotdog at a reasonable price for the quality. I got a Chicago dog it was made fresh on the spot and wait time was minimal. Would only been better if it had the poppy seed bun. read more

Keep seeing the Food Truck outside work and with watching the Duck Derby, I didn't eat so I decided to try them. Ordered the Bacon BBQ Burger. The burger was average. As were the onions and BBQ sauce. The bacon was undercooked, bordering on raw. The fries had nothing on them and were a mix of thick, mainly cooked, fully cooked, and old fries. read more

I got the Kate and Jan hot dog, came with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, and chipotle mayo I'm guessing. Chipotle mayo didn't have much flavor and it was scarce, the bun was dry and crumbled when trying to eat it. Hot dogs was just bland all together and definitely not worth $12. read more

Best Chicago style dog ever! And very friendly service. Skip the fries and order two dogs instead. They're very average. Also my la croix was warm, otherwise five stars. read more

Really disappointing fried chicken sandwich. Just a grocery store frozen patty on a thick, tasteless white bread bun. And it was cold. These folks clearly aren't paying attention. read more

Parked outside the art institute. It was delicious. Great portions for the cost. Will eat here again.
