This place is so good that the name is definitely misleading if you eat here with any regularity, lol. It's high quality American food. The milkshakes are probably the best I've had in the city. Worth checking out! read more

I had the $13.99 two gryos & small fry special. I shared it with a friend; I didn't think the gyros meat tasted good, but my friend love it. Amazingly friendly people, and it's a cute little hole-in-the-wall place. read more

Slim's - 2 Gyros & small fries special plus a regular soda, $19.32, tax incl. - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Decided to give this place another chance. Ordered the 2 spicy gyros with fries. Was pretty good. Regret getting spicy but that's on me. Ordered delivery and food was still warm. Not sure if the prices changed or not but it was a good deal. Go check them out. read more

Slim's - Spicy gyros - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Maaaaaan! This was such a treat to randomly find! The guys cooking were singing, smiling, having a good time! It made me happy just watching them. You can taste the love they have for what they do. I wanted something with Italian beef and they suggested the burger with the beef on it. Super tasty! The fries were realllll fries and came with a zesty sauce we really enjoyed. Okay but. The spicy chicken po boy is what my partner got. IT WAS SO FRIGGIN AMAZING! Best chicken po boy I've ever had and she agreed. We were starving and took it all to go but ate the sandwich in the car because we could not NOT scarf it down right away. We also got a cookie but it was so good I didn't take a pic and don't remember what kind it was. The restaurant is pretty hole in the wall ambiance wise but looked extremely clean which I always appreciate. If we are ever near I would consider going back! read more

We came here one before and enjoyed the food so we decided to try it out again. The gyros meat was burned and dry. Usually gyros are overflowing with meat but this one barely had any meat on it. I wish I took a picture because I can't believe that the meat was literally black. The fries seemed dry and overcooked. And the sauce on the wings was very watery. Usually buffalo sauce kind of sticks to wings. Also, it took forever to get our food. I think they were overwhelmed with orders. The restaurant was empty when we walked in but multiple people came in after us waiting for food. I don't think I will be back. The food wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. read more

If you are looking for an Italian beef sandwich, this is not the place to go. I probably wouldn't bother cooking here for anything else either. It's a pretty standard greasy hot dog/burger shop. The beef was tasteless and low quality. The juice was way too much (there was a swimming pool of juice in my dish) and the bread was not crusty. Avoid. read more

Slim's - Italian Beef - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Would give 10 stars if possible. The wings are great and the beef sandwich is amazing. But we ordered from Uber Eats and the driver left without a bag of our condiments, leaving our wings with no sauce ahead of the bears playoffs. Slims PROACTIVELY called to tell us about the error and the MANAGER drove the condiments to us along with some cookies and pop. That is a level of service you dont see much anymore. This place rocks! read more

Decent Chicago Dog and reasonable prices. $9.99 for two hot dogs and fries, came with A LOT of fries. Came on a Sunday afternoon, it was dead and still the staff barely acknowledged us which was weird and why I lowered the rating. You order from a kiosk and they threw out food on the counter and said nothing. read more

Stumbled upon Slim's late at night after seeing my friend's improv show closeby. I was craving a hot dog and Slim's was within walking distance. Originally, it was my friend and one of her improv friends that joined me on my quest for a late night meal, but eventually our party turned into 5-7 people. I'm glad I discovered Slim's and can confirm everyone else was happy, as well. My hot dog hit the spot. The fries were delicious and shareable. My friends all got different milkshakes and were raving about them. They have lots of unique flavors in addition to the classics, you can't go wrong either way. I believe the owner helped take our order. He was friendly and helpful. Hope to return again! read more

Slim's is really good and they're online order system is great but there's just something about it the food in particular that seems to hold it back from competing with some of the other iconic Chicago fast food joints. The food is good. It really is. You can't call the food at this restaurant bad. Maybe it's lacking identity? It's a great Chicago fast food place. I just think the other great places are better in some intangible way that I can't put my finger on. Still a four-star place. It's great! It's just not my favorite for some reason. read more

First time at Slim's and I'm already planning my next visit for their Italian beef! The staff was super welcoming and friendly. I got the Chicago style hot dog with fresh cut fries (amazing deal, it even came with a drink!), and everything was fully loaded and delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Great service, affordable, and good quality food. The portions are very generous for the price. Highly recommend.

A small fast food spot. With all of the core items and their own creations. The cashier is super nice and friendly. Able to help me pick a great item here. Got the slim burger, which is Italian beef meat on the burger. It's very satisfying and meaty. The only thing is that the menus doesn't list the price. There is a footernote on the menu saying to go online to find real-time price. Pretty annoy if you are trying to figure out how much you want to spend. read more

If you crave that old fashioned burger from a diner, hot off the grill in a warm bun, loaded on lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles that you can see without peering under the bun- this is your place! Plus it's under $10. The hot dog -served in a warm poppyseed bun - also met with similar appreciation by my grandson. read more

I don't know about the rest of their food but the hot dog. Oh. My. Gawd!!! I wish I'd gotten two instead of just one!! The bun was so delicious, the pickle, the dog, everything was so well balanced until we meet again Chicago, I'll be dreaming of that hot dog lol read more

Slim's - Hotdog - Sandwiches Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Slim's is a great local, slightly above average, fast food option. They don't bother with those grey frozen burger patties found at many competitors. .. nothing but Creekstone Farms beef here! The prices reflect the fresh ingredients and upgrades like brioche buns. 3.39 overall. I tried to convince myself to generously round up considering the service and the never frozen burger patties, but. ..that wouldn't be fair to the other 4 star restaurants. I don't like their Chicken Strips, but they are popular. I find they lack seasoning and are chewy. Not worth a special trip, but absolutely check out if you live in the neighborhood. Open til 9pm. read more

I go to Slim's once in a while when I'm in the mood for a really good but not-too-fancy cheeseburger and fresh-cut fries. The place isn't shiny or trendy, but it is clean and comfortable and the staff members are friendly and welcoming. There's also outdoor seating in the front when weather permits. The only downside is that street parking can be tricky sometimes, but one can usually find a spot within a block or so. I know Culver's is a couple of blocks in one direction and now Small Cheval a couple of blocks in the other, but I'll still be hitting up Slim's, especially because their Chicago dog is also pretty good, and I can always pick one up for my spouse. read more

Yup, classic little hot dog spot with some yummy milkshakes and other halal goodies. Good price, good food, and real laid back vibes. Great for a quick bite. read more

I liked this place. The workers were very nice. The restaurant is very small, has about four booths but when me and a friend went in we were the only ones in there. The food was solid, a bit expensive but pretty good. I got the cheeseburger combo with a strawberry shake and regular fry. The fries were way too salty and the burger was just okay. I've had better. I also got the mozz sticks, they were beer battered which I'm not really a fan of but my friend liked them. Overall I would come back and probably order something different and ask for light salt on my fries. read more

Bye bye Portillo's! Slim's burgers, Chicago dog, and fries are tastier, hotter and fresher. Also, the buffalo wings are very tasty and made to order. When I want good junk food, this place hits the spot. One of these days I'll muster up the courage to try the giant slim's special. Don't forget about the Yelp Check-in offer for free drink or fries with $20 spend. Slim's also offers online ordering through Ritual so that's neat too if you're collecting points there. Also don't forget to get a punch card if you plan on being a repeat customer! There are some street parking on the side streets if you don't want to pay for street parking on Montrose, but you might need to drive around a bit. Only downsides are no bathroom for customers and not BYOB. read more

Clearly. Because "Slims" is the one thing that one does not do if one regularly eats this food. But you know what... it's worth it. Really genuine authentic delicious Chicago-style (all the trimmings) Chicago dogs made right in the cool part of Chicago, close to where the Cubs play. What more can you ask for? The girl here was an angel, and her service left a good taste in my mouth. But not nearly as good as the taste of these exemplary and standout dogs, which have entered my "top 10 in town" list, which is a very hard list to get onto. Almost as hard as my own hot dog, in fact. They're also cheap (like your mother) and I have nothing bad to say about them whatsoever. I wouldn't say that these hot dogs are slimming at all. In fact I would say that they can add quite a lot to your waistline - but who cares when they taste this good. Don't eat the hot dog while the Barber TRIMS Don't eat the hot dog while you're making MEMES Why do I think the word Trims rhymes with MEMES Sometimes a rhyme's not as good as it SEEMS Don't eat the hot dog while United get knocked out in the PRELIMS Don't eat the hot dog while your Tadpole SWIMS (And yes I mean the milky kind) (And not SKIMMED) Sit down, relax, and eat a Hot Dog from SLIMS WHAT read more

I normally love these little greasy hole in the walls but I just didn't get a great vibe from this place. It has a weird vibe to it and while they have some modern technology the machine that we placed our order on didn't submit the order even though we were charged. So we started off a little rough. But the young man behind the register jumped in to help us out quickly! We ordered their burger specials with bacon and cheese fries. My daughter joined us for this trip and got the chicken po'boy which wasn't really a po'boy, but it was really good and the sauce that came with it was delicious! The burgers I believe are frozen, not hand packed, but they were good, nothing to brag about and the was well done and I ended up taking mine off because it was too crunchy. The fries were good, they are fresh cut fries, the cheese sauce needs some help, we didn't even use it because of the lack of flavor. The pop machine was also down so we were offered cans after we ended up paying for the soft drinks on the machine... so that was also a bumbum! Overall, if you want an average burger and fry and you're in the area check them out. Oh yeah, and I believe that a member of the ownership came in while we were there and went behind the counter, while there was a few people standing in line to make themselves a few milkshakes and then left. Weird. And good luck with parking you have to street park because the lot at the corner will tow. So you will need to pay for street parking. Sorry Slims I really wanted to like you more. read more

Old school hog dog place with a great dog, hand cut fries, and a solid shake available in a large variety of flavors. I can't wait to come back and try the beef sandwich. Only thing I didn't like about this place is you have to order your food on a tablet like device that I struggled with to place my order. Seems like it would be a lot more efficient to have an employee there that knows the device well taking orders to make it quicker, but I got through it. read more

Was craving a burger, fries and a shake but did not want to put on a bra and shoes to go out and get it. Thanks the Goddess for Yelp for locating this place for me. I know the address as I drive by that every day going to work, but couldn't tell you where they are located on Montrose but I don't care...they deliver! Got the Slim Burger, which was insane...1/3 lb. burger topped with cheese, Italian beef, sweet and spicy mayo and sweet peppers. Beef, it is what was for dinner that night. Nice fries and the shake was good too. Pretty fast delivery and the food was still hot when it got to my door. Will definitely be ordering from them the next time I need a burger and shake. read more

placed an ubereats delivery order at like 1030 at night. i'm 2.5 miles from them. used uber eats. had the spicy chicken po boy. it was good. Outside of the spicy mayo, it was kind of flavorless, but ingredients tasted fresh and above average quality. also got a side of their fries, which were hand cut and didnt seem to have much salt on them, which is what i prefer. I'd give it a solid 3.5. took delivery about 1hr to get to me, but my rating does not factor in any of that. the 3.5 is simply based on how the food tasted. read more

The good: spicy chicken po boy (kind of plain but HUGE & satisfying), hot dogs (how can you go wrong?), chicken wrap, and the customer service (othe workers are super nice!) The bad: veggie burger (very bad), vanilla milk shake (suuuper bland). Okay: fries (they're good but they're all in small pieces). read more

I wish I can give Slim's more than 5 stars. My company moved into the neighborhood and we were hankering for some fast food. Slim's has vegetarian Chicago-style hot dogs. I'm sold.

Way too expensive for what you get; smaller portions of bland, frozen food. Service is spotty but one of the owners is at least nice. Won't be back and suggest you spend your money elsewhere. There are plenty of great hotdogs, burgers, beefs and shakes in Chicago but you won't find any of them here.. read more

Perfect neighborhood hot dog place. We needed food, and we needed it FAST, because the Presidential Debate was about to begin. After we ordered our Chicago dog and chili cheese fries, it took next to no time to leave with piping hot food! The Chicago dog was great. It's certainly not my go to food, but I nibbled a few bites and genuinely enjoyed it. The chili cheese fries were perfect. Because we took it to go, they gave us a generous portion of cheese in one container, a generous portion of chili in the other, and a big bag of fries! It was completely portable and allowed you to create the perfect balance of chili and cheese on each fry. Hahaha. For under $5, we snagged some good eats. I will definitely return when I'm in rush for quick food! read more

Rosa J.'s back...back on her Chicago-dog eating spree! I'm a die-hard Chicago-dog lover. However, due to hubby's dietary restrictions and my busy schedules, I haven't walked into a hot dog joint for awhile now. I missed my chi-town doggies and determined to visit Slim's this evening after finishing running errands after work. Slim's is located two (2) blocks west from the CTA Montrose Brown Line station in the Ravenswood neighborhood. I know there's usually a huge demand for their delivery services, yet their dining room is hip and comfortable if you ever stop by instead of chilling at your couch playing video games. They have two (2) television sets booming our invincible Chicago Blackhawks and champion-wannabe Chicago Cubs. We came in around 20:30 hour, and the workers were busy prepping a ton of pick-up and delivery orders. I had one of their specials: two (2) Chicago-style dogs with fried for $4.99 (awesome...classy...cheap). Fortunately, hubby found the black bean burger on the menu, so he didn't need to befriend with the meat. The toppings on their hotdogs were very fresh. I was especially fond of the hot peppers to provide an extra "kick," but I wish there was more relish to tone down the "hot." Regardless, I was excited to have my Chicago "edible pets" back in my life! Hubby enjoyed his black bean burger, but he said it could have been made a bit "spicier." He still preferred the BBB at the Hot Diggity Dog underneath the CTA Wellington Brown/Purple Line station. Slim's menu is one of the most extensive menus I've seen. It covers just about everything Chicagoans are proud of (hotdogs, beef sandwiches, burgers, fries, soup, chili, and shakes). This place can get you addicted if you live close by! With that being said, being "slim" will soon be out of question if hotdogs and burgers are part of your daily routine. read more
