My kids love Mustards and they aren't wrong! A neighborhood institution. Give it a try!

Love everything about Mustards.

Cheeseburgers and hot dogs! The extensive menu is just a ruse. For shame one me ordering a turkey burger! I was in town for the game and grabbed a bite prior to kick-off. The outdoor seating was taken, so we stayed inside and admired their wall of photos and other memorabilia. Occasionally, you'd see people come in and out just to say hi to the people behind the counter. I ended up getting a cheeseburger and fries. My burger was decent. Overall, Mustard's is a great choice for gameday food, if not a tradition for many. read more

Mustard's Last Stand - cheeseburger - Fast Food Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

I love Mustard's, but like someone else said, I doubt it's appreciably different from or better than other hot dog stands around the city. But I live in Boulder, CO now, and what I wouldn't give sometimes for a Mustard's Polish with mustard and a pickle, fries, and a freshly made mint chip milkshake straight from the ice cream in the cooler! I have such great memories associated with this place - as a kid, during the Fourth of July Parade, collecting money from my dad to run across the street from our seats to get dogs for everyone in our parade-watching group - probably 9 or 10 hot dogs and fries and milkshakes. Then I would wobble carefully across the street with my loot, dodging floats and unicyclers and gymnasts to safely make it back to our blanket. My review isn't solely based on nostalgia, though. The food is actually awesome, and every time I go back on vacation and return to Mustard's, that is confirmed. Though I can't speak for the hamburgers, I've never had a hotdog or a Polish that wasn't fantastic - practically bubbling hot, dark and crisp on the outside and juicy and tender in the middle, with the bun cleaving to the meat and toppings everywhere. Their fries are also solid, and I've never had anyone try to give me the old fries in the bottom of the basket. They'll always throw those away and start a new batch. The milkshakes are a nice perk - pick any flavor of ice cream from the cooler and they'll make you a milkshake out of it. It's a great alternative for those smoking hot summer days when, if you get a cone, it's melted all over the sidewalk before your tongue even touches it. read more

Not my style of hot dog or fries. Its ok but this place is like any typical hot dog stand, nothing stands out. Sorry guys. Very friendly service though and definitly good after a Northwestern game. Frank Campeglia (The Food Club) read more

Amazing cheese fries! Friendly and such a fun place to be around for game day!! The manager was super friendly! Thanks for the laughs!

There's something to be said for becoming an institution. Friends of mine who are North Shore natives say this place has been exactly the same since they were kids in the '70s. Classic little dive atmosphere where you are surrounded by pictures of Northwestern Univ. athletics teams. Only seats about a dozen on stools but alot more squeeze in here and the place can get seriously hopping. Its parking lots are contiguous with the NU football stadium. As a result, you can imagine during the fall when a home football game is being played, this place should be avoided due to the crowds I have to agree with the other reviewers that their dogs, although very tasty, are not markedly different than any other hot dogs you are going to get elsewhere. With all due respect to Justin, I am not sure I agree that prices are inflated. I just had two loaded Vienna Beefs and a large soda for $7.02. You decide for yourself if that seems like too much for a tasty dog. Worked fine for me read more

Unlike most of these reviews, when I ordered a dog with "everything," I did get an actual Chicago dog, including tomatoes and celery salt, no ketchup. I can't explain why this happened, but perhaps the grumpy old men behind the counter sensed what I was after. Middle-of-the-road fare. It's a real Vienna beef dog with sport peppers, so it's not bad, but the toppings were lackluster. Even buried in celery salt, the tomatoes had almost no flavor at all. I'm typically not a fan of fries, and the fast-food-style thin-cuts here were no exception. Prices slightly above average (maybe 25 cents). There seem to be fewer Chicago dives this far north, so I imagine that this would be a go-to place for me in Evanston. Otherwise, it's just a particularly well-named hot dog stand. (So memorable a name, in fact, that an unrelated hot dog stand in in Boulder, Colorado uses it. See my list for other review.) read more

Quite simply one of Chicagoland's best cheeseburgers...PERIOD! I might be the only customer who's never actually had a hot dog here as I understand that they do those quite well too. This burger is one of the few I find myself craving on a warm summer evening. A friend who had just given birth at Evanston Hospital asked specifically for 'Mustard's' to be brought to her bedside! The vibe is fun too...you really wish you could hear hits of the 70's and 80's blaring from drive-thru quality speakers here a la your childhood roller rink, but sadly you'll usually only hear the audio of a Univision telenovella. That's OK, though. Sit outside at one of the tables to complete the experience as the food is best eaten as soon as it leaves the griddle. read more

Mustard's Last Stand - The sign that beckons. - Fast Food Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

Your classic "Chicago Dog Stand." Vienna beef, chili, tamales and burgers etc. Excellent choice for a pre or post game quick meal. Nothing like a Chicago Dog to quench your appetite. No ketchup! read more

Mustard's Last Stand - Fast Food Near Me - Evanston, Illinois

A hot dog stand has been a resident of this little hut ever since Hansel and Gretel's family moved out. Sorry, the forest has long been cut down to make way for the Wildcats that like to return ever so often to tailgate. Once in awhile the "Mustard" likes to take in on the road, Lisle's Hot Air Balloon Festival. When they do venture out beyond the safety of the towering Dyche, they actually do a better job in putting together a dog. If you are not lucky enough to catch them outside of their normal unkempt, drab, bored staff, narrow tunnel layout, menu sign challenged, generally disorganized, a visit better during the summer months location, too bad. They know how to make a great Chicago hot dog, most of the time you'll end up getting one. The rest of the menu, if you can decipher it, is worth taking a chance on. These are the good guys of grease and having desert, that's my stand. read more

I'm a sucker for a Chicago Dog and this is the closest place from my parents house to get a dog. It's not the best Chicago Dog i've had, but I'm a sucker for their cheese fries. Don't be disturbed by the cheese, its naturally nasty looking and that is the charm of it. My stomach can only handle the cheese fries once a year (if that) but it's worth it in my book!! I generally order to go and bring it home, but there isn't really seating inside. Tables outside if you're interested. Experience the cheese fries atleast once in your life at Mustards Last Stand. read more

Great food but the service is so underwhelming as to detract from the taste. Had to remind the guy about 4 times what I wanted in the 10 minutes that I was there. The taste however was quite good I had a hotdog and a cheeseburger and they were both delicious and I would certainly eat them again. If your in a hurry or picky about cleanliness I'd stay away but otherwise if your just looking for some conveniently located greasy food this is your spot. read more

Fun space to visit on my journey to visit my son. Great time and food.

I will drive 45 minutes to grab a Mustard's Last Burger and cheese fries from Mustard's Last Stand. Let's be clear, this place is greasy goodness. They do not take credit cards which is rough (and costs them one star, it's really my only complaint), but the food is so incredibly amazing I'll put up with it. The cheese on the cheese fries isn't that gross boogery nacho cheese so many places use. This cheese is melted, clumpy cheddar cheese. Amazing. There's a distinct flavor to everything at Mustard's and it really elevates it above typical "hot dog stand food". I have never had their hot dogs so I cannot comment on that, however, the burgers are insanely good. read more

A little local burger and hot dog place. It serves up what it promises, but nothing to write home about. The burgers are pretty standard frozen patties and the hot dogs are not really done in the standard Chicago way, no tomatoes or pickle. However it is a nice place to just stop into while in the North Evanston neighborhood to get some grub since not much is around. A little on the expensive side for burgers and dogs though. Also they only take cash. read more

I had a volleyball game to coach at St A, so I needed a bite to eat. It is a cool location, right across the street from Northwestern football stadium. The hotdog was good, but it was expensive. read more

Bummer. I've enjoyed Mustard's in person a few times and tried delivery for the first time tonight. I was pleasantly surprised with relatively quick arrival, but was disappointed to see the fries were missing. I'll survive, but the whole point of ordering delivery is to get what you want. FWIW - the mini-Italian beef is a winner if you want the taste of a beef sandwich without having to overload on the entire thing. read more

Its a good spot for a hot dog or a burger. I stop by a few times a year when I am in the area on business and it never fails to satisfy me. The guys who work there are awesome, they take care of you and never mess up a order. They have parking which is great seeing as how there is hardly any street parking, but this makes the place a bit smaller with less interior seating options, but im not complaning about that. One of the things I love about this place is that it accetps debit/credit cards. Not only do I get to eat some good food that reminds me of my childhood for somereason... lol, but I can also pay with my card with makes me perfect for me. I would say if you are in the area atleast give it a try, its not overpriced like other hot dog places in the area (hommers). read more

Authentic Chicago-style hot dogs with good fries. The Burgers are just okay. But over all still a good place to get a hot dog.

It's an ok burger joint. A bit overpriced. Right next to Ryan Field which is cool. Fries were good, burger was good. Friend had a veggie burger which looked good. Someone in my party had a hot dog, which made him quite sick. Ugh. read more

This place is a hole in the wall maybe decades old this place is a staple in the community but that's all the food is not good I got hot dog with fries almost 8 bucks for what soggy dog over cooked fries and fountain pop. People who live around that area like it properly it's the only nearby spot. If you want a hotdog that has snap to it and no mushy tomatoes and more than 1 sport pepper GO ELSEWHERE. read more

I've been coming here as long as I can remember. Most of the food is good, The ice cream is excellent. It's a great place- I highly recommend it. read more

The food was good! I highly recommend it! The burgers were as good as they said on TV! If your ever in the neighborhood I would try it!

I really love this place of Mustard's Last Stand! The burger here is so exceptional! I can still remember how great is the taste and texture of it. It is so worth it to try multiple times. They also have hot dogs and it is their best seller. It has different flavors. All of it is fresh. You can also try their beverages and combine it with different awesome food you can see on their menu. Mustard's Last Stand has friendly staff, they are so nice, and decent. They are working so fast, they really love what they are doing, and they care to all of their customers. The customer service was really good. Their place is so great, it has an awesome ambiance, and the whole area is so clean. Very convenient and well-maintained place. Thank you for amazing service and great experience! I really enjoyed all the food I tried. Also I am looking forward coming back again and order new food. Mustard's Last Stand is a gem! Thank you! read more

Clean? No. Friendly Staff? Not really. Greasy? oh goodness yes. Bathroom? not really, and if you can hold it, don't even ask to use it. Really dated pictures on the wall? Check. Obscene amount of ice cream in your serving? Check. Fries? Delicious. Never, ever even TRY to go if there's an event at the stadium. Or a parade. read more

This place is a greasy dive. Its been here forever, it should and will be here forever. Its right next to the football stadium. Its tucked in, so you might miss it driving by. Its classic Chicago-style greasy walk up feel. Burgers, brats, fries... don't expect Foie Gras. Expect exactly what you should at a hotdog stand. read more

Mustard last stand. Is a amazing place with the best service the food is 10 out of 10 everybody should go eat there everybody opens you with OPEN arms read more

Mustard's catered a late night snack to our wedding venue, the Newberry Library. The owners, Steve and Karen, did an amazing job! They were very friendly to deal with throughout the entire planning process, and the hot dogs were delicious. They set up a hot dog cart with an umbrella in the lobby of the building, and offered all the condiments/fixings you could want. We received so many compliments from our guests on how much they loved the surprise snack of Chicago style hot dogs! read more

An Evanston institution. Whether you're here to watch Northwestern lose in football or lose in basketball, this is a MUST stop. Conveniently located just across the parking lot from Ryan Field and Welsh-Ryan arena, it is perfect for a pre game hot dog. 5 stars! read more

For a hot dog-burger hole in the wall type places, Mustard's is top notch. The burgers are especially back-yard frill delicious. Fries are above average and crunchy. Dogs are above average. Other stuff are pretty good too (onion ring, polish sausage, fish, etc). Great place for a quick bite. Get the burger. Best for pick-up for 1 to 3 people groups, few seats. read more

OK, Half you people are nuts, the other half are pretty much right on target. IF ANYONE HAS THE RECIPE TO THEIR CHEESE FRY SAUCE, OR KNOWS WHERE TO GET IT I'LL PAY MONEY! I'm not kidding, e-mail me! This place isn't as bad as half the reviewers have said. The food was ALWAYS greasy and great whenever I ate there. The big black dude that worked there was great, we'd jawbone the entire time my order was being prepared. It's not overpriced, and they'll make your particular dog however you ask them. Maybe some people went there on a bad day? EVERY time I went there, I got more than a heaping helping of whatever I ordered, and I'm a big guy who can throw back beefs an' dogs like nobodies business. I've been to more than any Chicagoans fair share of hot dog dives. This place takes the cake. There are many things I miss about the Chi-town are after being transplanted to the west coast. Along with Soldier Field, Heckys' ribs, Mustards is at the top of the list. So, does ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THEY GET THEIR CHEESE SAUCE OR HOW TO MAKE IT?! I havn't had it for soo long and crave it more and more as time goes by. Please e-mail me if you can. I reccommend this place to everyone that want's a good taste of Chicago! read more

I eat their fries just about every week and my mom gets their hot dog! Best customer service! Food always hits the spot!!!

The food is good, but from my experience the service is terrible. I was there with my dad the other day and they had very little fries left. The guy asked if we wanted fries and my dad pointed out that there wouldn't be enough for two. My dad asked if he would make more and he just filled up two fries bags with the remaining cold fries. Sure enough the fries were awful and the bags were half empty. What a waste! The food is usually good other than slow service. read more

Born and raised in Chicago. Moved to Kenosha. This place gives me my Hot dog fix when I get by here. If a place advertises the best Chicago dog in the area pass it by and wait till you can come here. read more

Grubby lil' hotdog joint that has been in this location since at least the Carter administration. Food is good but not worthy of a pilgrimage. Pretty much obligatory if you're going to an NU sporting event, though. read more

The PERFECT place to take boys after a ball game. Nothin but hot dogs and hamburgs. If you want ice gream, go to Homer's in Wilmette, but this is the place for some serious hot dogs. Sports theme from NU stadium next door. Only downside is that it is hard to squeeze in more than four or five teammates. You'd have to spill outdoors into the stadium parking lot, if your group is larger. read more

This is a good solid if unremarkable hot dog stand. I like their Polish. The hot dogs are average. It isn't the cleanest place but the guys who work their are nice. I wouldn't travel a long distance to go there but I like it as a local joint. read more

This place has been here since the 70's maybe earlier. Its a great hole in the wall hot dog joint that sits to one side of the main parking lot to Dyke Stadium ( when did they rename it Ryan Field ??) Home of the NU Wildcats. Typical Vienna Hot dogs with the steamed poppy seed buns , they make Chicago dogs the way they are supposed to be made , outdoor seating on cast concrete tables in the summertime, pretty basic , but a great dog ! read more

Finding a hot dog stand in Chicago is about as easy as finding an old person in Florida....not too difficult. And with what seems to be 95% of all hot dog stands serving (consistently-excellent)Vienna Beef dogs, you really have to do something wrong go get a 2 star rating from me. In the case of Mustard's Last Stand, their major issue is simply price. $2.99 for a hot dog WITHOUT fries is a joke. You have great hot dog stands serving the SAME thing all over the city and suburgbs for much less. Hell, it's not uncommon to see two dogs and a fry for $3.50. So, it goes without saying that I was more than disappointed to see that my jumbo dog and fry cost me nearly $6 at Mustard's Last Stand. What gives - and why the excessive markup? It sure isn't the cost for the premises....considering the place is a shack and the size of a two car garage. My other gripe was that my hot dog was slightly-warmer than room temperature. Now I don't need my hot dog to be scalding hot, but come on - a hot dog's flavor comes alive when you warm it up. The fries weren't bad - but hardly any in the tiny sack. The sport peppers were solid, as were the other toppings on the dog. read more
