It's standing room only to eat your hotdog. The line is always out the door, 15 minute wait for the greatest hotdog known to man. The food taste exactly the same as it did 45 years ago the service is faster than ever the inside has never changed since I was a little kid after many nights of being at the thirsty whale which was adjacent behind Gene and Jude's is where all the rockers hung out and the greatest bands of Chicago came through ..their we would eat hotdogs at two and three in the morning. My children are now full teenagers, and got to experience the Gene and Jude hotdog and we're delighted beyond belief now living outside of Chicago coming into town to have the greatest hot dog and still be exactly the same. The fries are exactly the same ,the inside exactly the same, with a few more awards. This is 100% the best Chicago, hot dog and greatest hotdog on the planet. You must visit this place just to experience the years and years and years of excellence. Enjoy!!... May it bless your life as it has mine. God bless Gene and Jude's team. Keep the tradition and hots going. PS don't forget to get your Gene and Jude's merch. It is now available. Cheers

Obviously we had to come to Gene's & Jude's…read more Long before we planned our Chicago trip, I can remember seeing a feature about the place on TV. It was a no-brainer. The place is kind of out of the way, but hey, we had a car and some free time, so why not? I, of course, got the Hot Dog w/ Fries ("mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers") and yep it's a superior dog. I'm not sure if the copious fries really added anything to it, but the snap of the wiener and the tasty condiments added up to an extremely enjoyable experience. I can see why Gene's & Jude's is so highly regarded. It's a cool place (and super affordable, too).

Come check it out!

We ordered a dog, a beef, cheese fries and a drink. All of that food and a drink came in under $20. The hotdog was good, the beef was really good and the cheese fries, they were the best cheese fries I had in a long time. They were excellent. Service was great and the restaurant is small and very clean. We bellied up to the counter and really enjoyed our lunch!

Superdawg is hands down the best hot dog in Chicago. My two absolute favorites are the classic…read moreSuperdawg and the Whoopskidawg -- which is basically their version of a Polish and SO good. The Superdawg is iconic for a reason, and the Whoopskidawg has the perfect smoky flavor with all the toppings. Also, people do not talk enough about the sides here. The Super Veggies are honestly one of my favorite sides anywhere, and the onion chips are dangerously addictive. Crispy, salty, and perfect with their sauces. Beyond the food, I love that it still feels old-school Chicago with the drive-in setup and giant hot dog mascots on the roof. It's nostalgic in the best way and somehow still lives up to the hype every single time.

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.

The cashier was a very nice gentleman with exceptional service. I ordered the regular Chicago dog and it was so delicious! The veggies felt so cold, and refreshing with every bite, along with the soft bun and flavorful wiener, it was just perfect and everything I expected it to be. Best all around Chicago dog I've had here in Chicago! Lots of cute merch for sale and plenty of seating for groups big and small.

I ordered an Italian beef with sweet peppers and cheddar cheese and Italian sausage with hot peppers and provolone. Service was decent, it was fast. Pricing seemed typical. It was like $12 for the Italian beef with peppers and cheese by itself. This is a solid Italian beef place if you're near Rosemont. -Italian beef 4 - I ordered it dipped. I appreciate the generous amount of meat in here. I took off a star because it gets a little dry in the middle. I guess I should have asked for a cup of sauce to dip it in. -Italian sausage 5 - the hot peppers are not really hot, they're mild. You get some jalapeños and celery. The sausage was pretty good, very savory.

I swung with the Gyros plate and a Greek salad. When I picked it up, I had to make 2 trips, 'cos I got a complimentary bowl of soup (Cream of Chix with rice-Greek Style). The Gyros was fresh off the spit, and indeed yum. Not quite Halsted Street, but excellent for close to O'Hare. The Greek Salad was a basic Greek Salad, but you DO get a generous hunk of good-quality feta in it. I've found the Greek proprietors that care put good quality Feta and olives in their salads. The Soup was homemade (I know this 'cos the affable owner guy told me so). It too, hit the spot. The half-banquettes have seen better days, and so has the men's facility, but they were clean. It's a no-nonsense joint a step above the norm. Not that far off the Kennedy Extension, and actually on the way to/from O'Hare. Eat here with no regrets!
