    Great food, best fries around. Italian beef was excellent. Closes for the winter and is up for sale.

    Besides being filthy and with zero decor besides the free "try a tamale!" posters that frozen food…read morevendors give their buyers, the food was terrible. Apparently there was a race to cut the cucumbers and tomatoes as the slices were all too thick to sit correctly on the bun. They threw in a whopping (2) sport peppers. And worst of all, the hot dog was clearly not a Vienna and instead reminded me of every penis I've seen in every autopsy I've attended (a lot). It was pale, disgusting, and looked like it had been pulled from a bathtub after being dead for 6 days. There was zero flavor to the hot dog. $5 for something that should never be served. The guy working there was clearly excited about playing big boss to the 2 high school aged girls there, although he couldn't tell them to sweep all the chips off the floor in the dining area. And all you can get is chips - they have no deep fryer. The ceiling tiles were stained and gross. This place looked like it was abandoned 3 years ago and they just opened it today to serve the 2 hot dogs left in water before they closed. You'd do better at the disgusting Long John Silver/KFC combo shack a few blocks away. And that's sad. Go to downtown Morris for food you can actually eat.

The staff here is very great and nice. Easy in and out top quality service with some good food. The inside of this restaurant is very nice and clean.

    Looking at fries piled directly on top of a hot dog, my back immediately warned me, "That is a…read moredangerous game to play!" But I had to see what the hype around Gene & Jude's was all about. ​I caught them at a great time with a short line. Their menu is delightfully simple and typical classic Chicago style with minimalist topping choices (mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers) so ordering was a breeze. A single dog with fries and a medium drink came out to about $9. ​While waiting, I loved watching their team work like a well-oiled machine behind the counter. Fresh hand-cut potatoes were dropping into the fryer, and the assembly crew was constantly building dogs and piling massive heaps of steaming fries on top. High output, fantastic energy! I even asked one of the prep guys if I could snap a picture, and he was super cool about it. ​The meal itself was awesome. The fries were piping hot, perfectly salted, and very generous in portion. Once I dug down to the dog, that first bite took me by complete surprise, the snap of the natural casing and the flavor were incredible. Before I knew it, I was clearing the paper wrapper and completely understanding why people order double dogs or multiple single dogs. Be warned it will have your back talking to you too. Lol! Highly recommended legend!

    I've been hearing so much about Chicago hot dogs and decided since I was in town why not try one so…read moreI checked out Portilo's & Barnelli's Chicago that so many people told me to try. It is a pretty neat place when went in I saw that they have a lot of memorabilia all around the place. Also famous people have also been there with their autographs on their pictures. This place was quite busy which tells me that it must be good. It was very organized you can order your meal on a kiosk or at the counter. We decided to order it at the counter I ordered a famous Chicago hot dog which is an all beef hot dog on a poppy seed bun topped with chop onions, sweet pickle relish, tomato slices, dill pickle and a small spicy pepper with no ketchup but does have yellow mustard the price you could not bet it was very reasonable my guest ordered an Italian sandwich. After ordering the cashier gives you a receipt with your number on it and you step to the side. Then you wait until your number is called and that's how you get your order. Yes it was crowded but we waited for our two items for at least a half an hour which to me was unacceptable but besides that the place is really neat to try and the hot dog as well as the Italian sandwich was delicious definitely will be back again fingers crossed that we don't have to wait so long but the wait was worth it. They also have lots of seating around the restaurant. There is a second story as well you could sit up there.

    i tried the italian beef sandwich with extra gravy and spicy peppers. there was generous portions…read moreof beef and the peppers were actually hot! the bun does get quite soggy if you order extra gravy but think of it as a french dip sandwich. i came here on a saturday and the wait was about 30 minutes to get our food. the staff are very organized and have a good system down to handle the big crowds. the ambiance of the restaurant is pure chicago with the sports banners and decor.
