Chili Cheese dog - I could barely taste any Chili taste. Onion Rings - Zero seasoning Mozzarella Sticks - Over Salted and marinara couldn't Save it either. I am not going back, extremely disappointed with food

As of early November, 2025 this wonderful family run restaurant is permanently closed…read more We enjoyed the great Chicago inspired food that was always "on point". Either the wife, husband or both were always on site and always ensured top quality with everything. This is most unfortunate and we wish the owners well in their future endeavors.

My three stars, as of March 2024, is a gift. Fact is, Hot Dog Express isn't what it used to be…read more Read my reviews, and you will quickly learn how picky I am. I'm also fair. I previously complained that this joint didn't take plastic (that has since changed); I've complained that after three cars deep in the drive-thru, one is at risk of being rear-ended on the busy road. I have never given a bad mark to the food -- until now. Indeed, the prices here are higher than the world's most famous hamburger chain, which is located a couple blocks east. Yet, the dogs here are salty (non-beef) wursts that are packed in cheap buns. When a joint offers such cheap fare on the $1.99 specials menu on a Saturday (mustard or ketchup dogs), I feel a bit taken. The chili, on my recent visit, was not the same as I remember. Though they might be using the same recipe they bought from the former owners, it tasted sweeter. The kraut was the same. The Polish dog was nothing like it used to be (and not in a good way). It is truly my wish that Hot Dog Express continues to thrive. However, after a recent visit, I've decided to get my hot dog fix elsewhere.

Very disappointed. Ordered a chili cheese hot dog with…read moremustard. No mustard and the unmelted cheese was like one of the square pieces for a sandwich. I may have gotten half a teaspoon of chili. The fries were like a brick.

Sad...Loews can do better. Work on the Maxwell Street...onions need to be thin cut and fresh, and Jim's does not have peppers ????

Portillo's was one of my go-to's in Chicago, primarily for the Italian beef and Chicago hot dogs…read more So driving on the DNT that famous sign caught my eye and I wondered if somehow I went through a time-traveling portal and I ended up in Chi-Town. I had plans on Frisco but then found out there was another Portillo's down the street from me. Walking in and looking at all of the decor and set up were reminiscent of Portillo's in Chicago but with a Texas spin. The order counter is still there but added a few self order kiosks. The pick up window is down from the order counter and you wait for your number to be called. The Chicago dog, Maxwell St. polish sausage and the Italian beef tasted exactly as I remembered: delicious, juicy meat, tasty sausage and dogs were all top notch. This is THE place in Dallas and Frisco for that authentic Chicago food made famous all over America.

It's good but not enough to make me really want it again. Pretty plain and not much flavor. Atmosphere is really good though. The people are really nice and they seem to be on top of things. Easy to order and pickup. Not a bad place, but nothing special or thrilling.

This is a great place for some beers, ax throwing, and comfort food.

The self-serve wall with beer and alcohol taps (limited selection of mixed drinks) is awesome as you get to pour yourself drinks and are charged by the ounce. Want a half a beer? Not a problem, just pour half. The food is fresh and you're provided with generous portions. Things we've tried and liked: chicken nachos, taco trio, and various hot dogs/brats. Lastly, the owners are friendly and nice people and worth getting to know. Definitely a small business you should visit.

Three massive complaints…read more.. 1). Do not Salt and Pepper my food, let me decide. Did cole slaw as a side. Was over salty. 2) HAVE printed menus if you expect people to have their orders. You have the menu on the wall when you arrive but no damn printed menu is overly frustrating and awkward. 3). If you have the menu only on the wall at the arrival - HAVE THE FULL MENU. I saw on the website menu items not on your wall but was confused so what i wanted i passed on because it wasnt on the wall. BE CONSISTENT at least.

Came in for a weekday dinner, it was kinda so so overall experience…read more They weren't busy, there wasn't anyone tending the register... most likely staff was doing something elsewhere that might have needed attention but since no one was there to take our order we just grab menus & sat down. Eventually we saw someone walk by so we got up to go place our orders. Little Mule - the egg was cooked perfectly, really good & I was happy with this. I asked for the jalapeños on the side, but never got them & no one came around after our food arrived. Chili Cheese Tots - generous serving, but after a few minutes it just becomes mush. Fries - I can't remember what my friend got, it had maybe some garlic aioli with spicy sauce. Those were good, I'd choose the fries over tots. Bad Mutha Clucker - Friend said it was okay, not the best or a must have but average. Sliders - Great that these come on hawaiian rolls, hearty & filling according to my friend. It was a bit warm in there, the prices are decent, & overall the restaurant seems clean. It just lacks atmosphere, the place looks great but the vibe was just "meh". Maybe it's better when it's busy or on the weekends.
