    Inside dining area. Great styling!
    Tim M.

    Haven't been here in years and was in the area so I figured a return visit was called for. It's in a strip mall with ample parking. I recommend bringing cash, as there is a surcharge for credit cards. Stopped in around 12:30pm on a weekday and it was not busy. Service was fast but stoic. Love the 50's decor! The dining area was clean and comfortable. Ordered the char grilled hot dog with everything. Note that when you order a dog with everything, that does not include sport peppers. Those must be added separately. I also noticed that they don't put celery salt on their hot dogs. Not a big deal, but something that is different from other Chicago dogs. The dog also came with a slice of cucumber, which was also a variation from your typical Chicago dog. The cucumber was a nice touch and a bit refreshing. The char grilled dog itself was hot and juicy, and the toppings were generous. Unfortunately, the bottom of the hot dog bun was hard which downgraded my rating. They may want to check the freshness of their hot dog buns or steam them before using.

    1/2 roast chicken

    We ordered the 1/2 greek style chicken it was good...chicken was juicy and well seasoned

    Onion rings, patty melt with fries

    Had seen this place on instagram and also read that they serve a mean hotdog, the ambiance was super retro cute, and very clean. You order at the counter, and it seemed as if the cook/waiter was having a bit of a bad day, almost as if our presence was an annoyance. The woman checking us out was very friendly, and attentive, even while she was multi tasking with phone and pick up orders. Had the patty melt, ask for thousand island on the melt and you won't be disappointed! Side of fries were overdone, onion rings had too much breading, and the cheese sauce tasteless. Did also order the double cheeseburger which was fresh and tasty, but really could have enjoyed some awesome sides with those Sammy's which was a bit of a bummer. Oh well! One and done for this joint!

    First time customer - let's see how the beef is

    So I am havering a Hard time finding a decent beef sandwich in the area. Stopped into Plush Pup and they have a good beef as long as the bread and meet is wet . Good flavor in the juice. Make sure it's wet . Cheese fries were great! Fries were crispy and flavorful and cheese sauce tasted good. Pizza puff was meaty and flavorful. I would definitely give this place another try!

    This place is a conundrum for me. I factor in price to a point, I don't mind spending money on a good meal. Hell, I've spent $95 dollars on a steak once, that didn't come with sides. I scoured the menu for a 2 dog meal deal which they didn't have. Maybe I overlooked it or they need to add one. The one hot dog meal deal consisted of a hot dog, medium soda, and fries for $9.25. If I bought everything individually, I would have spent $9.49. Wow, a .24 cents savings!!! I ordered a second dog, nonetheless. Ouch! I received my order quickly and sat down. I looked into a bag with a mound of piping hot fries and unwrapped my dog and was greeted with a snap dog with all the trimming including cucumbers and bright neon green relish. Things were looking up for that price point. I grabbed a handful of fries and noticed they really lacked salt. Thank goodness for salt shakers on the table. IMHO, if the fries aren't salted straight out of the fryer, the salt just bounces off the fry. I had to use ketchup for the fries so the salt could adhere to the fries. The fries might have been an oversight, so I was looking forward to pigging out on my snap dog. The pickle was large and filled up the bun, the cucumber and tomatoes were super fresh and were cut thick. I love the heat of the peppers but all the ingredients were out of proportion to the hot dog. The onions, wow, I love onions but it was swimming in onions plus they were lacking any true punch of flavor. All in all, it was good, not great. This place could be a solid 5 out of 5 if they tweak a couple of things. As it stands now, I give them a 3.0/5.0

    Big selection of food but over priced and mediocre tasting at best. Friendly workers though.

    Little Bad Wolf - Bad Burger and a side of mac and cheese

    Little Bad Wolf

    4.4(2.6k reviews)

    There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

    I have gotten this to go a few times but this was my first time eating there! My bf and I sat at…read morethe bar and had the best time! They have a ton of cocktails and they are very cool! We were able to chat with the general manager a bit and hear NADC story, it made me love this spot even more! I got a passion fruit drink with boba this was great! As we were chatting they mentioned an eggnog drink! I love eggnog so this was for me, and it was perfect! Such cool cocktails here, I had no idea!! We split the burger which was phenomenal. Even better eating it in person! I learned this is a pressed patty and not a smash burger. This is my favorite burger in the city! Such a cool vibe in here, very fun music and decor. I'm obsessed!

    I have heard good things about NADC and have been interested to try the burger. I thought there…read morewould be a lot of people so I was surprised that I walked in for lunch on Sunday and it wasn't busy, which was nice. My friend and I each ordered a burger and fries for ourselves. The NADC burger ($16) was decent, but it didn't blow my mind like people have raved about. I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality. You could taste the difference of the oil these fries were made in. They were nice and crispy and very good! I could keep eating them and would rather get the fries than the burger next time. I'd probably still get a burger since I need some meat and savory.
