Awesome service and great food and a damn good time. Me and the wife love this place all the signs on the walls really gives you that Chicago vibe !! read more

Absolutely the worst hot dog ever! Pickle was old, stale wilted. Tomatoes were extremely thick sliced 3-4x larger than expected. And for a $16 price. We will never return. Worst is I Called and the number is not in service!! See pics !! read more

Scooby's Hot Dogs - Poorly made hotdog. - Hot Dogs Near Me - West Chicago, Illinois

June 2026 update. The pricing here has climbed out of sight. $14 for a hamburger? $3 for a small fountain drink? $5 for a small fries? Today a hotdog, hamburger, small French fries and two small drinks was like $34. The food is fine but for a hotdog stand the cost was ridiculous. read more

July Advertised special $2.50 for dog, fries, and/or shake drew me in. $8.14 with tax. I so want to like this place so I try it every 7 years. I didn't taste or spot any celery salt and got no sport peppers but it is summer and the tomatoes were so good it was like a tomato sandwich with a side of hot dog! Best pickle by far (sorry Beef Shack)!!! Fries came out so hot and fast and deeply colored I suspect they are somehow double-fry? Sadly, they weren't at all crispy. The shake was deliciously refreshing on a heat warning day. Were I to crave a repeat of the meal, I would likely get out of the car and order from Tony Steamers but if it's a Vienna Beef drive-thru you seek...this is it for miles. read more

Very expensive, not worth the stop!! Just drive past this place. Over $27 dollars for a beef combo!

This place is a rip off! I paid $26 for two hotdogs, a large fries and medium soda. The French fries were soggy and the hotdogs just okay. If you are thinking about trying this place I would suggest going somewhere else. read more

Very expensive and not worth it. We got the special 1.00 corndogs, an order of cheese fries and a chocolate shake. The bill was 27.00. Their egg and pepper sandwich is 18.99. That is just NOT right. Never again I am never eating their anymore. The food is MEH and not worth the price. read more

Overpriced for mediocre food. I was there a whole 30 seconds before he started with some Republican rhetoric. Why? Who knows but I don't mix politics with hot dogs. read more

Was not impressed with the Maxwell a massive smoked sausage idk for me that sausage and bread just didn't go together. Chicago dogs ok no pepper smal dog. The saving grace was the chili cheese dog best thing and the fries real fries but that was it read more

I was curious to try this place, but I wish I would've checked the reviews on here first. The food was over priced, and at best it was sub par. My kids noted we could've all eaten at Chipotle for cheaper and had better quality food. I paid $89 for 2 chili dogs, 2 double dogs, a chicken sandwich, and 3 orders of fries. Some reviews have noted that they had diarrhea after eating here. That has not hit me yet, but I do have some rumbling and churning going on. I recommend you go somewhere else or just buy hot dogs and buns from a grocery. read more

I'm nearby playing a softball tournament and I was told to come visit Scooby's and let me tell you that it did not disappoint. From the establishment to the ambiance everything was awesome. I ordered a chili cheese dog with onions, their fresh cut fries, and their pizza puffs which were by one get one free. I can never say no to free things . The chili cheese dog was packed with flavor from the well cooked hot dog to the to the chili and the onions added a nice spicy twist. Next were the freshly cut fries which they say is the best in the world. I can honestly say they were very good and freshly made which is always a plus. Lastly, I had their pizza puffs and let me tell you from my first bite to the last it legit tasted like I had a nice slice in front of me. My overall experience was Amazing and I'll be in town for another three days and absolutely I'm coming back to eat more before I go! read more

This looks like a cool roadside hotdog joint with lots of things going on. The food was okay. We ordered a double burger, a single cheese burger and small fry's with cheese and two small drinks. The bill came out to 43.00 dollars. It is not worth that price. The burger flame cooked was over done and the fry's were soggy. This was a 25 dollar meal at best. Way too expensive for average quality. They were friendly enough people so service was quick and polite read more

Went to drive thru at Scooby's and ordered 3 cheeseburgers and 3 small fries. Nothing more. Guy charged me $ 64.25. Affordability? The fries were great but the burgers were only mediocre. Would not go back. read more

The service was good. So was the ambiance. But the drinks traumatized me. They were bubbling with a sewage smell also they are NOT plus size friendly because my brother couldn't fit down the hall read more

We ordered from here last night on door dash. My boyfriend felt sick and started vomiting 5 times last night, after he had a cheese burger and cheese fries. We tried calling the establishment but their phone isn't working for customer's to call. Never ordering here again read more

Food was okay. Prices are astronomical!!! 1 hot dog, 1 chicken sandwich, 2 small fries, 1 vanilla shake;; $50.56!!!! WTF I won't be back. Way too much money for what you get. Not recommended!!! read more

Scooby's advertises "buy one pizza puff get one free" and be sure to mention the buy one get one free when you order or, you won't get the free one. Also, paid $12.16 for one small pizza puff but, I did get the other one for free. read more

This place is worse than HELL itself! The food is mad expensive and it tasted like ass. I felt like I was in an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. I spent $68.00 on just three items and three drinks. My kids had just finished playing baseball and they were hungry. The place is dirty and nasty It smells like pure ass and must in there. I had to repeat my order four times and that's so embarrassing. My kid is allergic to pickles and my other doesn't like onions so I asked for the food without but that didn't happen. If you have respect for you and your family DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

Overpriced and underwhelming food. Do not recommend with so many other options in the area.

Over $34 for a foul tasting single cheeseburger (w/ bacon, onion, and mustard), small fries, cup of cheese, and medium root beer. Aside from the criminal cost of this regrettable experience, the food quality is something the Health Department might need to look into. The obviously frozen burger patty had the texture and flavor profile of press board. Half the bun was hard. The aftertaste is that of a hot, wet dumpster and bad decisions. I'm considering scraping a few layers off the inside of my mouth and using Malört to rinse the taste away. The fries were limp and flavorless. You can literally taste how sad the potatoes are to have been sent here. If you're considering coming here to eat, I'd suggest having your mouth undergo radiation therapy instead. It might help with the taste as well as cost less. read more

The food is good here I like the atmosphere but three stars for the prices. It was 6:00 or $7 for a hot dog that does not come with fries. I guess you could blame the Illinois government. You used to have teenagers working in these places making five bucks an hour but now you got grown men and women demanding $25 an hour read more

Always had good food there, really good but I simply can't afford this place anymore ! Too expensive

Wonderful service! Owner is very sweet and kind! Fast and quick service! So glad my Fiancé took me there!

This place is a shit hole ! Overpriced food,no quality, can't get a simple hot dog order correct. Guy who took the order had to ask 3 times what I wanted on the hot dogs. WTF Food is gross,place is dirty,save your money and go to Portillo's just down the road. Soup for $1, it was so hot,the styrofoam cup it was in was melting Had to be microwaved This place takes the money and shuts the window in your face. No ketchup for the fries,asked for easy onions and mustard, yeah that didn't happen. This place has to be a joke !!!! DO NOT EAT HERE !!!!!! read more

this place is a joke horrible don't even waste your time way over priced over $40 bucks for a cheeseburger and a pizza puff I had to send my cheese burger back because it wasn't even done had pink in the middle i don't know how this place stays in business read more

Scooby's is not what it use to be. The Scooby's in West Chicago charged me $22 for a hot dog and a medium malt. The malt was &14.96. When i drove away , I called to say I think I was overcharged . The man who waited on me said that I was not overcharged . i said that seems too expensive for a malt. His response was ... welcome to America. My response was that I would never buy food from Scooby's again. o stars read more

Basic food at an INSANE price. Why the hell does a beef and sausage combo cost $20 for JUST the sandwich?! Not to mention they have a Donald Dump cutout in the lobby. Prices must reflect from the economy he's tanked! read more

This place is the biggest rip off. $20 for an italian beef and a drink. No fries. Checking the menu and a chicago dog is $5 and $2 more for sport peppers. Get a clue maga man. Your cheeto jesus is gonna lower prices for all Americans. Except scoobys! I will never go back. Who actually repeatedly goes there? I just hope this place doesn't hurt the business of the other 2 scoobys. All have different owners. The other 2 have reasonable prices. If you wanna stop here, keep driving east for 5 minutes and hit the portillos. It will be way better quality and way cheaper. read more

Very overpriced. Food quality was so so. Fresh cut fries were not good. Would not go back. Sorry

I have not been to Scooby's in years, I used to go there all the time when we would go to Cascade Drive-in in high school. My niece wanted hotdogs for her birthday lunch and we chose to drive to Scooby's! We had the greatest experience! The staff was very kind to us, the food was hot and delicious, and most importantly, the four year old birthday girl had a blast! I'm assuming the owner - gave her a free sweatshirt and even a free shake! I read through some of the reviews and was absolutely shocked at some of the negative reviews, because we had so much fun! I will definitely be coming back very soon and supporting this business during these hard Covid times! Thank you so much Mr. hot dog man! You truly made our four year old's day! read more

Ok, big rant here. Offers veterans a FREE meal. Nothing at scoobys is ever free. a veteran i personally know went there for his free meal. He got a italian beef with peppers and a fry and it cost his almost 6 bucks.. how is that free? this guy is a crooked as a politician he over taxes all peeps on anything that is on sale.. He has no filter... read more

Overpriced! Poor quality. Used to be excellent but since the ATM went up it has gone down hill. $14 for a polish? "Well I could sell you a sack of shit for a buck". Hot dog had no snap, rather soft. Bun was plain and soggy, so seeds. Burger was average, but huge price. We won't be back. read more
