    A very quick experience.. less than 15 minutes. The place is small and tight. With some bar seating and they also have outdoor space. The menu is straightforward; service was quick and good. We ordered a Chicago dog with fries and a polish. It was really good and I'll definitely would go back to try other items.

    Another old school hotdog stand shop, great place to grab food before a graduation at NorthWestern. Hotdogs are good, but would definitely pass on the Mac n cheese. It's small inside so it can get crowded easily, they have seating outside.

    Mustard's Last Stand is a classic hot dog stand. They have a variety of fast food classics like hot dogs, burgers, fries, milkshakes. The inside isn't very big but it's fun and fast. There are some places to sit but more to wait. I ordered a classic Chicago dog with everything and fries and a shake. The food was good and it was about 16.00 for everything. I'm glad I tried it. I liked the dog but I've had better fries. The milkshake was made by hand which was fun. Glad I got to try this Evanston staple. I think it might be more fun in the summer!

    Next stop on my tour of Chicago's recommended hot dogs! Absolutely hit the spot. I got the Chicago Jumbo Hot Dog charred with no onions, no relish, and extra pickle. It was delicious and the fries were also great. Makes sense why it was recommended.

    Cheeseburger

    I rate Mustards cheeseburger with onions, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and hot peppers among the finest du monde!

    "Mustards Last Stand" cool hot dog stand in Evanston adjacent to the soon to be demolished Ryan Field. I have been going past this location for decades & finally decided to check it out. Kind of a cool old place that's been around since 1969. Boy did I take my time getting here. The restaurant is really dated & has a ton of old photos of different sports figures of by gone era (kind of like me lol ). It was kind of cool to finally stop in and share in the moment. I ordered a hot dog but not just any hot dog a Vienna Beef dog w/everything except relish. You can't go wron w/a Vienna Beef hot dog in my eyes. It was good hot dog but nothing that jumped out at me

    great place! i recently moved around this area and i immediately fell in love with this place. the workers are friendly, the atmosphere has a 70s-80s type of vibe, and i be eating tf out their hot dogs in less than 40 seconds.

    Cool. I have seen these in years

    I have wanted to try this place out for a while. This is exactly what you think of when you hear "Mustards last stand". This institution has been these for 54 years and continues to pull in people from all ages and backgrounds. The ambiance is very... no frills, get your food, and move on. The candy and small toys machine take you back to a day where they were more commonplace. The signs are backlit, black letter, paper in cellophane, and poster board. No digital signage here. The food is your basic diner food. I order the #4 special which was a double cheeseburger, fries, and a medium drink for $14.99. It was delivered fast, hot, and in a nice basic paper bag. I noticed they have corn dogs as well, so I am going to need to go back for that. The burger was exactly what you would expect for a grill burger. Not a griddles burger, the grates on the grill seared the pattern to give you that char you would expect. The fries are shoestring, and the oil they are cooked in brought forth a flavor that you can tell included the other foods cooked in the fryer. This is not the place to go if you are gluten free. Overall, I liked it. I will be going back.

    Italian Beef Sandwich
    Rob

    Perfect spot for classic Chicago fare. Everything about the experience was quintessential Chicago!! Italian beef was dipped and perfectly prepared. My wife got the Chicago Dog and it was also excellent. Fries were hot. Ambience was what you'd expect and what is required IMO.

    You go for the experience. Hot and cooked to order, the fries, hamburgers and hot dogs are terrific and part of Evanston's charm.

    Sketchy settings, but the polish dog is second to none. I've never had a better hot dog.

    I'm not usually a burger person, but when I worked in the city (pre pandemic) I did love a good…read morecheeseburger from Small Cheval so was excited when they opened a location in Wilmette. My 15 year old often finds her way here for dinner with friends, but I've yet to step inside. However, I have doordashed on a few occasions and it's always something that the entire family of 5 can agree on...which isn't so easy when it comes to choosing a doordash restaurant. The cheeseburger itself isn't very big, but I think the perfect size. And for those super hungry or a bottomless pit like my 13 year old son they have the option of a double cheeseburger. And if you're looking to go a little healthier you can get your single (or double) cheeseburger wrapped in lettuce instead of a bun. A great addition to the North Shore and I hope we get more locations soon!

    Went for a burger, fries, and shake, as I used to love doing when I lived near the Wicker Park…read moreSmall Cheval. This location is Small Cheval in name only as far as I can tell. Burger patty seemed completely non-seasoned and absolutely none of the smoky flavor I've always associated with a Small Cheval burger. Kind of dry and overcooked, straight off a griddle. The fries were pretty good, best part of the meal. The chocolate shake was, somehow, kind of bland. Not sweet enough, typical fast food soft serve tasting. It's upsetting when you get a place in the suburbs and you have expectations based on what you had in the city. Then you go to the suburban location and you feel kind of taken advantage of. As though you somehow didn't know what to expect because you lived a few miles north. Like there maybe was a presumption you hadn't been to the real deal and the name would just be enough. The price is still the same, though. That part didn't change. Will not be back.

My first thought was, "This is like Chipotle, if Chipotle was actually good," and I'm sticking with that. Perhaps that can be the new slogan for Guzman y Gomez. Run with it, put it on your bags and cups, just make sure to pay me back in free burritos. It's not exactly the same model as Chipotle. You don't watch the magic happen, so there's no opportunity to request a little more of this or a bit less of that. But the staff here are so eager to please, I always find I get exactly what I was looking for anyway. If you need a little more of anything, just ask, and they're happy to oblige. Plus, this place has so many more options than Chipotle, it's crazy. Better food, better atmosphere, just better overall. During my first visit, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of the chefs, Dustin, and I could hear the passion for cooking in how he spoke about this role here. He broke down all their vegan options for me and made sure my first burrito was an absolute hit. It's probably that first visit that got me hooked, so G y G is lucky to have a guy like him. Two vegan mayos, chipotle or herb, both delicious. Pulled shiitake mushroom, seasoned beautifully and cooked to order. Perfectly cooked rice, yummy fajita veggies, salsa options galore, it was all spot on. Super authentic Mexican? No, but that's ok. "Inspired by authentic Mexican food" is fine by me. And how'd they manage to get so many friendly employees? I've been here a half a dozen times, and everyone is so damn chipper and happy to help. Plus, the music is upbeat and fun, not some dreary corporate playlist. I actually *want* to eat in, which I rarely look forward to in a fast food spot. I'm loving it. There are times when you just need something satisfying and fast that doesn't break the bank. This place brings that energy via fresh ingredients prepared with expertise. Plus, as I said, Chipotle is garbage. I'm glad Guzman y Gomez decided to pop up in Evanston.

I also ordered a side of cole slaw and red beans and rice. The guy behind the counter said they don't have mild sauce for the chicken. Then he told me the sauces that they had, so I said no sauce. I guess he was also relating the sauces for the rib tips when I already said no sauce. They cook the chicken fresh and may take a little time. When I got home, I was ready to dig in but I found out the sauce discussion left my rib tips with no bbq sauce. I called them and a nice lady told me I would be taken care of the next time, I visit. Thank goodness, I had bbq sauce. But I tried the tips without sauce and they were seasoned well. I put on some Sweet Baby Rays on them and dang it was good. The tips were tender and a lot of meat. The chicken was so good that I wish I would have gotten more. It was seasoned and crunchy. The Cole slaw was okay and the red beans and rice was good, just which it had a little more pot liquor. I would definitely go back. Also the prices that they have online is really outdated.
