    Found myself heading to Frankfort for a comedy show and a search got me looking at Kismet. Their Italian beef hot dipped was amazing. So much flavor and the heat is hot. Thinly sliced and moist. Really enjoyed the onion rings, cooked to perfection. Bread had a good chew and held together. A bit chilly inside but I was only one dining in. Everything was spick and span and staff were friendly. Great special meal deals too.

    Long time local resident and it's our favorite "fast" food. Usually call the order in and pick up is fast and easy! The Greek salad is our go-to, always fresh and large for some leftovers the next day! Gyros are fresh and always willing to add some extra yummy sauce. The menu is pretty large so be sure to check it all out.

    The hydrangeas outside Kismet are beautiful

    Came from CA to visit a friend and she took us to Kismet. Awesome food. I'm vegetarian and they had great variety for me. I had a salad, fried zucchini, and fries. Everything was delicious! I also tried their cheddar broccoli soup and loved everything! Their prices are great and portions big. I highly recommend.

    Best burger I've had in the area. Best fried chicken sandwich I've had in the area. Fries are simple, but perfect. I'll be back.

    Are you kidding me, I had the italian beef sandwich, fabulous. Soft bread with tender meat. Best yet.

    See all

    Waited in line for 15 minutes, no one was able to place their order in that time span. Nor was anyone served their food. Ridiculous.

    No Seats! No Ketchup! No Pretense! No Nonsense!…read more Pay attention! 70 Years. That's right. 70 YEARS!! Ahh yes, Gene & Jude's in River Grove, Illinois. I will always have fond memories of eating a ton of hot dog lunches here. It occurred during my 'serious' working life at Jensen Sound Labs in nearby Schiller Park. Back in the day, Gene & Jude's was a teensey tiny, stand-and-eat-over-a-counter-french-fries-stuffed-into-your-snappy-Vienna-Beef-dog kinda place. It still has a devoted cult following. As it is with all good things, the restaurant has only become bigger and better! Gene & Jude's has such a wonderful location near and around many office buildings that house large companies. And a forest preserve nearby. Today, the same hot dog and fries combo I ate back in the day is still a great value for struggling sound mixers and speaker-based Motorola employees and of course, all the other working class. The snappy Vienna Beef Dog with the only condiments, consisting of yellow mustard, green relish, onions, and sport peppers, then smothered and covered in fries, "Depression style", is currently priced at $4.69! You need to visit this icon if you're ever in the Northwest Chicago area suburbs. You won't regret it.

Before we left I checked the website and saw that they were a cash only business. No problem except we took the 30 minute ride and when we arrived I realized I forgot my wallet at home. Fortunately for us it was a nearby Walgreens where we could get cash. My wife had her wallet so I zelled money to her. Once we got back we then saw that they do in fact take debit/ credit cards. Anywho. It was a no frills place very basic aesthetic nothing special to look at. Just a service counter where you can see them preparing the hot dogs. They do however have a steady line of people! They move the line very fast so you're not waiting long at all. We ordered 3 hot dogs with everything (mustard, onions, relish & sport peppers) the basic depression hot dog. They come with fresh cut fries & we got a fountain Cherry Coke to share. I spent $20 even with tip. The hot dogs were good i wasn't disappointed nice soft bun tasty condiments and a great snap to the hot dogs. I'll give it a 7/10. The fries had a decent amount of salt on them a bit oily and not too crispy but they were fair. They don't have any ketchup in the house. We keep tobacco in the SUV so I added some to the fries for a little bit. Without the tobacco the fries were still tasty. A solid 6.5/10. The service was good. Young people with good customer service. I loved it. 10/10 for service. All in all if I'm in the mood for a drive and a hot dogs I'll go back. If you're in the area and like hot dogs check them out. They also sell tamales. ( I didn't order one) 7.3/10..... all in all. It's really more like 3 1/2 stars! Remember Yelpers ALL reviews are subjective!
