4.5 This is the only place that I can eat a deep fried polish from. It's always nice and crispy edges and not dry. The fries are good and hot and perfectly salted in my opinion. The beefs are usually good but sometimes can be hit or miss with the flavor and thickness of the meat. The prices are reasonable with specials. I wished they stayed open longer for more neighborhood options. Small parking lot but they get you in and out quickly. The staff is kind and funny. The ambiance is a stand up eatery. read more

Best hotdogs for sure, and it's not even close. My only issue is the flirting and harassment underage girls endure when just trying to get food. It's gotten to the point where girls go with male companions just to make sure the service is professional. read more

Beef was ok. It had a nice flavor, but wasn't to strong. They aren't cheap with their beef or peppers. You get what you paid for. The service is ok. They were attentive. It's a solid beef and I would rate it 6/10. read more

Mickey's Drive In is located on Mannheim. I use to pass by here and have eaten their beef before. I feel like the beef was better the times I ate here before. It was seasoned w/garlic and had much more flavor before. I'm sorry to say I made a point of coming by here to get their beef sandwich. I arrived exactly @ 10:30 am as they were turning on the signs & opening for business (great timing) Today I was disappointed by the beef as it had thick pieces & it wasn't as good as it has been in the past. The beef was chewy, not very tender & lacked the flavor. There are so many good beef places in Chicago & the Chicagoland area for me Mickey's fell short today. read more

I've been coming to Mickey's for hotdogs since I was a teenager. They have the best hotdog with everything in Chicago. There's something incredible about the steamed bun and the salt from the french fries that are wrapped with it. The Special for 2 hot dogs continues to be one of the best deals for food in all of Chicagoland. If you're looking for a true Chicago hot dog experience, skip the chains, and check out Mickey's on Manheim. You won't regret it. read more

Wow stopped at Mickey's today and it was fantastic great food at this OG spot. Maybe the best beef around. Natural tasting and so perfect on his great fresh bread. They give you a nice portion of meat too so great I had a combo sweet with a side of hot fries and a drink. I haven't been here in a few years but it's great as ever. Fast service from this quality spot. Been open a long time and for a dog & beef shop in this area, it says a lot. This is one of those places that is worth a try even if you have to drive.

I love the 2 hotdog special; with an ice water, you're set for lunch. It's the best hot dog in the neighborhood. The fries are generous, and taste ok for the price. The hotdogs are top notch. The poppy buns are steamed just right, with a great crunch of the salad on top. Not a fan of their italian beef, but could have been an off day for them. In general don't wait to eat or else the steam overwhelms the bagged food. The service is great, with nice & friendly staff. I inquired about the beef n cheese eggrolls, and they gave me a free sample. Get there early, or be prepared to wait during the lunch rush. read more

I was going to give Mickey's 4 stars, but IT IS THAT GOOD. I usually get the Combo Beef/Sausage but I tried the Meatball sandwich and it's awesome, too! Fries are OK, and they have RC / Diet Rite Products, which is not as good as coke, but better than Pepsi (and totally old school). What makes it so good? The secret to a great combo is both the BREAD and the SAUSAGE. Their Gonnella Bread is always fresh and the sausage is zingy and savory! I get mine "juicy - no peppers" They also have MINI sandwiches, so if you're a "chazzzzer", like me, you can have that "extra nosh". Stand up eat in only! Even though it's not technically in Chicago, it's "Chicago" as hell! read more

WARNING: This review is not objective! There's way too much history between me and this neighborhood to be objective. So get over it. First things first. This is still one of the best places to get a CHICAGO STYLE HOT DOG and fries - at least in the Western 'burbs. It's all done right here... Thick-skinned boiled dog, fresh chopped onions, cold dill pickle, juicy sweet relish, steamed buns, tasty sport peppers and thin long fries wrapped right in the paper with the dog. And they've been doing it this way for at least 35 years... Almost nothing's changed -- hell, they still sell RC Cola! So, what's changed? The 'hood, man! When I lived in Bellwood, it was about 95% white and the other 5% was "everything else". Today, my quick blast through the streets of the past leads me to believe it's 95% African-American and 5% "everything else". I'm not saying that's bad for the neighborhood -- everything's got to change, right? But it's definitely bad for classic Chicago Style Hot Dogs. Here's where I start to tear up. While I was there.... sniff-sniff... er, a brother came in and, oh don't make me say it! Dammit! HE ORDERED A HOT DOG WITH KETCHUP (oh the humanity!) AND I SWEAR TO GOD -- MELTED CHEESE SAUCE ON IT! I was so sure I wouldn't be able to hold it in, I grabbed my greasy bag and my styrofoam cup of Diet Rite and flew out the door. In my car I soothed my soul with the sweet taste of decades of dogs, soon putting the whole thing out of my mind. Don't let me scare you away. Mickey's (here or in Villa Park) is still the real deal, and whether you get 'em to go or dine in while watching the trucks blow by on Mannheim Road, it's a short trip to a tasty past every time! read more

I've been eating at Mickey's since I was a kid, and have always loved it. Their fries are amazing, I order them well done because I like them crispy. There's nothing like a classic hot dog. On my last visit, I added cheese sauce on my dog, and I can't believe I waited so long to try it! The way the flavor of the cheese, sweet peppers, and hot dog meld together is phenomenal. It is worth noting that I love cheese. If you're like me, definitely try this! I also really like their chocolate shakes :) read more

So I'm not a big fan of the Italian beef. actually I'll give the beef (2/5) I left this place alone for about 8 years as this seems to be a local favorite and I just wasn't able to figure out why. After trying it again it's still not good to me. haha However I have started eating their polishes... (I like the Mike Ditka/large polish most) I keep forgetting to try their pizza puffs (everyone on Mannheim road makes pizza puffs even the subway down the street...left hand on the bible) No place to sit. get your food and get out lol...well you can eat at the counters that goes along the window.

We stumbled upon this while on the way home from a day in downtown Chicago.....how lucky we were! First, the prices are good. We got the 2 hotdogs, fries, and drink special for $5.90. We also got a pizza puff. The hotdogs are perfect Chicago Style hotdogs. It's not only the right toppings, beef hotdogs, and poppy seed buns; but this place PREPARES them perfectly. The toppings are super fresh, the buns are high quality and steamed to perfection (no hard or soggy buns here), and the hotdogs are perfectly juicy and warm. The fries taste great, not too greasy. The pizza puff was good, but those are hard to mess up. The place is small, but very clean inside. There aren't any tables, just standing space around the walls. We will definitely visit Mickey's again when we're in the area. read more

What can I say? It's a greasy spoon type of a place, but you definitely get your money's worth. Portions were excellent. I thought It might have been a bit high when I was ordering, but when I saw the massive amounts of food coming out I changed my mind. In fact, I know better than to order some things just for myself now! It isn't much for looks, but it keeps the wind and rain out. The staff is super friendly, though. Parking lot is kind of small, but that they have one at all in the neighborhood is a plus. read more

I've been eating food from here since I was a small child (5yrs old or younger). It's in walking distance for the neighborhood & it's not many restaurants surrounding.

This has been around since the 50's making good Chicago style hot dogs. Its really not much to look at in its decor and color but they sure got some good dogs. Hot Dogs - always taste fresh, poppy seed buns is a must. Polish - Really good, Vienna baby. Pizza Puff - lightly crispy, golden brown. Beef's - Great taste, with peppers please! Sloppy Joes: taste ok, they add a bbq sauce in the mix.. could be good or bad. Il have to try it with cheese and mustard. Cheese fries - for some reason the cheese taste different here, its almost more milky or thicker.. taste really good. This is a good drive-by place off of 290 that really has some good Dogs. They close at 12am, and you will find that you don't really wait too long for your food. They have counters to eat your food on if you want to eat it quick inside... no chairs. read more

I ordered an Italian beef extra wet with hot and sweet peppers, a mango Italian ice, and jalapeño poppers. The prices were good, not expensive. The food portions were great, you won't leave starving. This is in my top 3 for Italian beef along with Johnnie's and Teddy's Red Hots (Darien). Portillo's is more for tourists. -Italian beef extra wet with hot and sweet peppers 5 - the fries were decent, I usually like my fries to be crunchy and seasoned. The Italian beef was amazing. It was moist throughout like what I wanted. The hot and sweet peppers added more flavor. Yes they do give you a good amount of beef. -mango Italian ice 5 - I think they gave me a large size since they don't have a medium. A large is good for two people. This is one of the best ones I've had. Homemade and it tastes like eating mangos. -jalapeño poppers 4.5 - only reason I took off half a star is because one of them was missing a jalapeño and cheese. The others were fine. Not spicy at all.

Pretty quick actually. I ended up getting something simple that no one can mess up and that was the polish with fries. It was your typical polish with everything on it and I don't remember exactly what was on it (mustard, tomato, ketchup, grilled onions etc), but it was absolutely delicious and the fries were basic fries. Overall delicious and worth the try and they have a pretty good variety of foods.

Juicy as I expected add that pepper in a bite and it was layered in flavor. Fries were hot and delicious. Service for my order was fast but I imagine depending on what you order being they cook fresh some items will be a minuet or two. Also I noticed police frequently eat there so it has to be good. As to parking I am a tad fussy as to spacing of parking space so I was not to thrilled about parking but that's me. Overall parking was available and the lot moved in out fast due to the speed of service. There are tables in the restaurant so you can sit in to eat. I enjoyed my experience and recommend Pete's in Oak Park. There is a second Pete's but have not stopped there. Which is funny I pass that Pete's 2 all the time when I am in the area.

Putting a whole salad on a hot dog takes what could have been a guilty fast food meal and makes it feel fresh and dare I say, healthy? The peppers were such a great kick and the I also appreciated that the relish was NOT sweet! Both a pickle spear and dill relish on the same dog? Yes ma'am! My friend who grew up here had the protip of getting a cup of cheese for the fries, why not? I just ate so many veggies! We also got an Italian beef with sweet peppers to split. I have had Italian beef before, so this wasn't a new flavor, but it's been awhile, and when I tell you I didn't remember the beef being so flavorful. I think next time I would get it with hot peppers, but the sweets weren't bad. Get a lemon ice if it's warm out, it was smooth and tart and a great finish to a great meal to round out my Chicago trip!

Greetings my Foodzies, recently we tried out a restaurant called Pops Place at 8418 w Grand Ave…read more River Grove. It a small spot tucked away I a little strip mall at Grand Ave and Thatcher. There's a table and window seats for fine in, the young man who took our order was very friendly and polite. We ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a combo (beef and sausage) the steak sandwich was decent size it just needed a more seasoning, the fries were crinkle cut frozen fries (we prefer fresh cut) and needed to be a crispier. The combo was tasty and good size. I give this restaurant 4 stars nice little spot. Try it out and let me know what you think. Ciao, Ciao for now.

Down-to-earth, humble spot for some Chicago fast food!…read more They have gyros, hot dogs, burgers, shish-kabob, Italian beef, fries, onion rings, and more. When I was here I got the #8 Greek chicken which was nicely seasoned broiled chicken, garlic bread, and rice. It came piping hot and fresh and served with a drink. I loved it! Their fries and onion rings were delicious, too. Pop's totally reminds me of a true Chicagoan spot for some grub - you'll see locals coming in and out while talking with the staff (because they're regulars) about the Bears, work, or construction nearby on I-90 (very Chicagoan). I loved the lowkey and charming feel here. Their pricing is affordable with most combos (including fries and a drink) being under $11. It's better to eat individually or with 1 person if you want to dine-in since they don't have tables inside, just a built-in tabletop against the walls so you're facing the window/wall when you eat. I recommend taking your food to-go. The 2 men at the counter helping me were personable and approachable. Located in a tiny stip mall off the busy street, this place is a small spot with convenient parking right out in front. Pop's is one humble fast-food place that serves up fresh menu items and Chicago classics. I'd recommend it!

But when I ask for both sweet and hot peppers and then also have to pay for the peppers, PLEASE don't skimp on the sweet peppers. One sandwich had no sweet peppers at all, and the other two had so little that I might barely get sweet pepper in ever other bite. I'm not firing Portillo's.
