Went in on Tues eve and ordered polish and fries and a hotdog and fries.. food tasted old and fries sucked... not even hot...... wasn't busy at all!! Place looks run down and old... spent almost $20 on just that crappy food... Would rather go to dukes on central... They have better fries for one and you get what u pay for... won't be back to this dump!!! Needs a renovation and new owner... or just close this place... Buns were so old the dogs and polish disintegrated it... ..only ate half.. and tossed the rest... buyer beware.... read more

Great inexpensive hot dogs, burgers, chicken etc. Definitely a carry out only place! read more

This is a small space in an older building with no tables. One guy was there by himself serving up orders as quick and efficient as some places with an entire staff. I ordered the Snappy Dog. Fries were piled on top. Ugh, I hate that. I realize it's an old Chicago tradition but it's not my thing. I have to admit it does give the fries some extra flavor in this case. It was on a fresh poppy seed bun with sport peppers, cheese sauce, onions, and their secret sauce (which tasted a lot like barbecue sauce). It was tasty with a bit of zip but very messy. I wouldn't mind trying some of their other unique menu items sometime. read more

Snappy Dog - Snappy Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stopped in because whenever I hit a new area with my side gig, I Google "hot dog places near me" and this was the closest. I asked if there was a two hot dog special and he told me I can get 2 dogs with one fry for $10. I agreed and order a root beer with it. They also have Green River in the bottle and Green River shakes. I will have to go back for one. The hot dog came out quickly, wrapped in paper and the bun was steamed perfectly, maybe a little over steamed but I'm not mad about it. It wasn't a snap dog but it had all the Chicago style staples on it, including a poppyseed bun and celery salt. Great flavor and the peppers were on point as well as the onions. The fries were okay. This place reminded me of an old school hot joint I use to go to as a kid. This is a comfort dog that had me at the first bite. This is old school joint with all the charm. There is a small stand up counter surrounding the front window that you can eat at, 3 or 4 people max! Even though this place isn't a cash only spot, bring some. Snappy Dogs charges extra for card usage. Looking forward to going back and trying the Snappy Stix and Green River shake. I simply love places like this! read more

More stars because they're open late. Worker seems to be the Owner. He answered the phone when I called so I'm happy about that. Place is next door to a bar. His nails could be cleaner but thankfully he's not wearing a pear of disposable gloves doing everything like so many other places. Menu outside the door and inside the store. There's a counter to wait. But we ate in the car. Oh! The fries are not served in a separate container but they are wrapped with the dog. The chili has beans FYI. read more

Came in to get some food at 11:55pm Dude was sitting at the counter Said hello twice Completely ignored me and sat there on his phone Walked away 5th time I've been in here Cause I live a short walk away And it's always something Negative read more

I've been coming here for years solely for their snappy stix so my review can't attest to the rest of their menu items. This place is your typical hole-in-the- wall joint. The place is very small in size. Their snappy stix is one of their most popular menu items. They are basically fried mozzarella sticks that you can pair with marinara sauce or ranch. From previous years, they were alot fatter and messier. This time around they appeared more slender and neat. Just my observation haha. Now, these are good in moderation. A serving comes with 3 sticks but honestly I'm good after the 2nd one. I get nauseas by the 3rd one cause it's alot of cheese and grease. Not the healthiest choice but it will def fulfill any late night cravings! read more

Overrated. Yell it louder for the folks in the back. For the amount of people who rave about their snappy stix, these were some of the most depressing mozzarella sticks I've ever consumed. I've heard they are pretty massive but upon eating them, they were regular sized and nothing impressive. $5.50 for 3 of them on the menu. However, I was charged $9.50 for them. Late night cheese or drunkie tax possibly? They were cold when I ate them and the cheese inside wasn't even melted. So much for their "well known" mozz sticks they advertise. Cash only. They can keep it. I don't plan on returning. read more

Always loved snappy dog after a long night. Always kind service and great food. Snappy sticks and a Chicago dog is a win win.

Snappy dog is one of my favorite places ever it feels super old school and has the Chicago vibe down to the T, serving Chicago dogs and having green river soda. I love how it's open super late on the weekends and that the people are always nice no matter how late it is. Best place ever to get some food after the bar, hot dog and fries for 6 bucks can't beat that read more

Way overrated. The cheese sticks are the most bland I think I've ever had. Maybe after a night at the bar when you're wasted these are "good" but I wouldn't ever get them again. read more

Snappy Stix! So Yummy Bring Cash, they do take CC too but just bring cash :) Service has been nice and QUICK. Doesnt matter how busy the little lobby is. read more

OK, this is a little hotdog joint in Edison Park. Looks like it's been there for 100 years but it's only been 14. They serve Vienna hotdogs which you can't go wrong there. This is take out only although they have one chair. So when you can get a Vienna hotdog and fries for $5 n change it's a winner . read more

Maybe an off night?? It's a small hole in the wall, and I wanted to like it sooooooo much. Nope. The Chicago dog was ok... a little wanting - but ok. The snappy dog was also just ok. My wife wasn't a fan of the polish. All the dogs had stale buns. And the fries were old and lacking salt. Overall disappointing mains. The snappy stix and corn dog were good, but didn't do much to make up for the sad dog/fries combos. I hate to be negative about a small, small business - but unless you're falling out of the pub next door this has to be a disappointment. read more

Snappy Dogs is a place that can easily be missed. My son so happened to spy this place as we were zipping by Downtown Edison Park. We got some takeout for his birthday as he insisted on trying their hotdogs. We ended up getting the Big Chicago, the Bossy CHIX aka chicken sandwich and Snappy STIX, aka mozzarella sticks. The hot dog came with fries and they were all wrapped up in the same wax paper. My Bossy CHIX chicken sandwich were wrapped up with the fries as well. For me, I like the fast food vibe and the fries were slightly soggy, which I actually like. If you're not a fan of that, you may want to ask to have it wrapped up separately. I noticed that upon arriving, they have a dry erase board that touted chicken tenders. Too bad, as I would have loved to try them, as they were not on the online menu. Inside the place, it's somewhat tiny, with standing room only dining, and a soda fountain behind the counter. The person who worked there was super nice and offered a free drink and a coloring book to my son, upon hearing it was his birthday. Really cool. The food was good and I enjoyed the mozzarella sticks too. When we first unwrapped them, my son thought they were egg rolls. The Snappy STIX has gooey and delicious. Both me and the kiddo enjoyed the food there and we would definitely go back. read more

Finally made it to get the mozzarella sticks! So nice that they are open and had an Irish band playing across the street in the Emerald Isle parking lot to enjoy them listening to Irish music being played. Felt like tailgating. Heard the band is playing everyday Sunday starting at 2pm. Will be back to order more on another Sunday and listen to the music and get some more mozzarella sticks. Bring Your own booze and hang outside. read more

Oh dear I wish I was never introduced to this place, I like it too much! They do great hot dogs with their own special sauces which are really good! I recommend you try the snappy sticks. The service is super fast and they are usually opened really late so it's a good spot for a late night bite. The prices are great. There is very limited seating so I would definitely order to go. It's not really an eat in spot. read more

This place reminded me of those fast food joints on a college campus. Went there for the Stix - so good. Got a few to share but ended up eating them all myself. I also got a corndog; something I haven't had in a long time. There was only one guy in there that took my order and this other guys larger order, rang us up (cash preferred but not mandatory), and cooked everything. He was super nice. The wait was not long at all. This place will be seeing more of me in the near future since I literally live a block away. read more

Snappy Dog - Stix! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Poor customer service. I went in because I thought it was local and I'd try it out. The guy at the front didn't speak to me at all. He made the wrong milkshake and when I proceeded to let him know, he kept correcting me and then snatched the drink out of my hand and literally threw it in the garbage. I don't know if this place is racist or the worker was. But I felt completely out of place and wouldn't recommend anyone to return! read more

Snappy Dog - Outside of the establishment - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The owner is super nice! The hot dog was great but I HIGHLY recommend the Snappy Stix! Fast service excellent take it and go restaurant.

Food was not fresh on a Thursday around 12:15. I was their only customer at the time, and the kitchen looked like it hadn't been used yet that day. So I was surprised to get my order filled in about five minutes because I assumed that he had to make it from scratch. When the bag came out so fast, I knew that it was bound to be disappointing. The hot dog was cold, bland, and sad, sad, sad. The snappy stix were at least warm, but not hot. The fries were also barely warm. (It's only a 7-minute drive home for me.) I warmed it all up in the oven to make it more edible, but I shouldn't have had to. Three stars rather than two, because the Snappy Stix were quite good despite the extra attention they needed. However, I can get a much better hot dog closer to home. read more

I love when I find these little whole in the wall type places. We found the snappy dog on a quick overnight visit to Chi-town. If you go to to Chicago, you gotta try three things: their deep-dish pizza, their popcorn and their hot dogs. My children hadn't experienced a genuine hot dog so we decided to hunt one down at 11:00 at night lol. Enter:Snappy Dogs. Gotta say everything was delicious. We got Chicago dogs and fries (an amazing deal at $4/each) some mozzarella sticks (can't remember what it was called on the menu though)-those we're good too. Nice and fresh and literally the perfect amount of crunch on the outside and gooey cheese on the inside. Parking was a little challenging, so be aware. And the service was really quick. I think we waited maybe 10-15 minutes. I'll definitely be back the next time we're in Chicagoland area. I wanna try their chili cheese dogs. read more

Snappy Stix heals the worst of pain including: hunger, heartache, hangover, etc. also the only place open past my bewitching hour.

Great service from who I assume is the owner. He dazzled my young son with a free, small ice cream and made his night! Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall joint so you expect good things. When you enter it's very underwhelming. The guy who served me clearly did not want to be there. The place was a dump. I did decide to give it a chance. Got the snappy dog and the Irish sandwich for my mom and a Polish and a regular hot dog for me. Wanted the Italian beef but he was out. My mom enjoyed her food. I on the other hand didn't. The Polish didn't have that snap like Polish's I've had from other places. His pictures show what looks like grilled hot dogs and polish. They didn't have a grill so I don't know if he stole photos from other places to make his food look better. The star of the meal to me was the Green River shake. Totally awesome. Definitely not going back. Clean the place up a bit and you'll have a regular customer. read more

Hot dog was good but they only do steamed as they have no grill. Their "home made" snappy sticks are just a large cheese stick in an egg role wrapper and was a bit greasy and the inside wrapper wants cooked thru. The is only one person working and it's a very small place. Good for a quick dog read more

This is a great neighborhood spot to grab a Chicago dog and enjoy after going to the bars. They are very fast and I Occasionally daydream about the tamale boat. Haven't tried one? Then order it and send me a thank you card later! And their fries are great! read more

Dragged my wife here for a Chicago dog on our way to the airport. She said it was the best hot dog she had ever eaten. We will be back.

This place is decent given no other hot dogs in the area. The fries are always undercooked and they must not believe in using salt at all. The Chicago hotdogs is a piece of art and it always has been. Slapping everything in bun is not the way to go. I live 2 blocks away, and when I got home, I questioned if I ordered a hotdogs or if I ordered a hotdogs salad with a side of wet bread. And for the love of everything, stop putting the under cooked, under salted fries wrapped with the dog!!!! The bun absorbs all the oil and moisture. read more

Rosa J., a.k.a., "the Italian Beef Sandwich Junkie," re-surfaced this afternoon. She went on and explored a little bit of Edison Park with "Chicago" on her mind... (singing in progress) Yeah, I'm leaving...on the CTA to...the Snappy Dog! I was somewhat disappointed that this place had no seating area. If you wanted to dine in, you would have to stand using the table along the window. Well, I was already here. Luckily, the Edison Park Metra station was near within one (1) block west to the Snappy Dog. I took my Snappy Stix, Italian Beef sandwich with hot peppers, and fries (all for $10.25) to the station. The order was processed so fast; within five (5) minutes, I was handed a brown bag with all of my goodies. The Snappy Stix, "Mozzarella sticks with a serious identity crisis," disguised themselves as Chinese egg rolls. They were huge! One (1) order would come with three (3) of these sticks, and they could potentially fill you up if you weren't hungry at all. Now onto the entree, the Italian Beef sandwich hot peppers were made with "home-style taste." The beef wasn't the most tender that I've ever consumed, but they reminded me of how Mom fixed her beef. I felt nostalgic after the first bite. Anyways, it was worth of travel on foot, fighting with the annoying intermittent rain. At the end of my meal, the rain cooperatively stopped. Thank you, Edison Park Metra station and the Snappy Dog. I spent some quality "me" time quietly on my day off. read more

Snappy Dog run by Edwin is great for the best mozzarella sticks you've ever tasted in your whole life and beyond. He makes them homemade, they're not frozen. There's 2 to an order and they come in an eggroll-like wrapper, filled with tasty mozzarella cheese and a side order of tangy red sauce. All I can say is it wouldn't be too hard to wolf down a bunch of these. Would you believe right now I'm drooling just looking at my own pictures!!! read more

I got the sausage & fries & OMG - THE BEST! Delicious & the bun was so soft & just perfect. Unfortunately I live in Orange County CA & I can't go there EVERY DAY & try something different. If you like hot dogs, this place should be on your bucket list! Thanks for being open late. If I ever find myself within 50 miles of this place again (slim chance) I'll be there & hungry! read more

This is one small place. Anymore than 4 people and you will have a problem if you want to dine in. Searched Yelp for a Chicago Style Dog closer to where I was staying and Snappy Dog is the first in the search. Mrs. K. her youngest sister and myself drove a couple of miles and went on in. Everything is made to order so there was a slight wait. Not a bad Chicago Dog. read more

Honestly, idk what this place tastes like when I'm not drunk, but when I'm having a night out, this is the place to be! All I know is that if you don't get anything else, you NEED to try Snappy Stix. They are their version of mozz sticks, and they are to die for. Sure, the place isn't the cleanest place in the world and the place is small and doesn't have anywhere to sit, but don't plan on standing in the place. Be like the rest of us and sit on the curb outside when you need a pick-me-up at 1am. If you think Taco Burrito King deserves your love at 2am, think again. You need to try this place, instead! read more

First time at Snappy Dog and I love it. I love a good hot dog and I wasn't disappointed nor was I disappointed with their fries. Very friendly service and quick and the prices were pleasantly low for the amount I bought. I will be definitely going back. read more
