Superdawg is hands down the best hot dog in Chicago. My two absolute favorites are the classic Superdawg 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. read more

Superdawg has been a long time favorite of mine. This visit I had a superdawg and a chocolate malt. I shared the super veggies with my mom. The service is prompt and the food is made to order. They have a couple small tables inside or tables outside. They also have drive in car service where they bring the food to your car read more

The uniqueness of the drive in is pretty awesome. Even so I opted to walk up to the ordering window. It was confusing at first but I had a lot of help from the locals who are very sweet and friendly here in Chicago. First, you walk up to order at the first window and receive a ticket. Next, you wait for your number to be called at the second window next to the ordering window and pay when you get your food. Guess it's easier than I made it out to be, haha. I ordered the Superdawg which also came with some crinkle cut fries. The wiener itself was super plump and extremely flavorful. The fries were nice and crispy. Overall a decent experience. Getting into the lot was a bit difficult for me, but eventually I figured it out. They also had a lot of cute merch for sale at the walk up window! read more

Not a fan of the forceful tipping by automated suggestion. Otherwise, for 12:14pm on a Friday the fries are not the freshest and that's shocking. I figured lunch rush would afford the optimal serving and service. At any rate, I can say I tried them and had the experience. read more

Superdawg Drive-In - Natural sun shining in on the pretty tough fries. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You literally cannot miss Superdawg from the road. You'll see the huge hotdog couple with their bright red light up eyes way before you see the rest of the restaurant. The parking lot is moderately sized (probably considered big for the city), and there are many spots to pull in and order from your car window to the little call box in the parking spot. These are set up for both driver and passenger windows to be ordered from. There are also a few tables for outside seating and a walk up window to order from that is enclosed in a little hallway like space with a few inside seats as well. We had three in our group for a mid afternoon late lunch stop after an O'Hare pick up. My dad and sister had never been to the city and I was tasked with a great chicago dog experience. We ordered at the walk up window, three superdawgs with fries and drinks. We waiting only a handful of minutes for our order and it all came in a brown bag, and we walked out to the outside table. It turned out they had only given us two superdawgs, so I went back in to request the third we paid for. They reviewed the receipt and without saying anything just provided the third hot dog and that was that! I love superdawg because the hotdogs come neatly in a little box with the fries smashed in and it's all self contained. Their hotdog with all the toppings is one of my favorites. Service is fast, and it's so nice to not have to get out of your car if you don't want. This is an iconic little joint on the northside with easy parking and delicious food, so I definitely recommend it. I know everyone has an opinion on their favorite Chicago dog in the city, so I certainly won't try to tell anyone they're wrong, but this is definitely a fun spot worth stopping at. Thank you Superdawg for a great showing of a Chicago classic to my family! See you soon! read more

I'm not local, but I've heard of Superdawg because of food shows on the Travel Channel back in 2010s. I finally got a chance to go when I was in Chicago and stayed outside of downtown. I ordered inside the restaurant instead of the car hop intercom. The cashier is incredibly nice and helpful. I got the Superdawg, which came neatly packed in a box with a Chicago dog and fries. It was delicious. Highly recommended it you get a chance to visit. read more

"Superdawg" 'Drive-In' is the rock-hard corner-piece of ALL traditional Chicago Hot Dogs. It has maybe lasted so long because it is on the way to and from the airport. This is where they will throw you from the premises if you Dare to ask for ketchup on your dog. The atmosphere is that of a big drive-thru hot dog stand - which is perfect. read more

I found out about Superdawg on a YouTube vlog on things to eat in Chicago! So glad I went because this place is awesome! It has a cool 1950s diner/drive in feel that is so charming! On top of that, the food is actually really good!! The fries were probably some of the best I've had -- I'm a sucker for a good crinkle cut! And the hotdog itself is loaded with so many tasty toppings! A must if you're visiting Chicago! read more

It had been years since I last had Superdawg, but with one bite, I instantly remembered why this place is always so busy and loved. I've always remembered the iconic Superdawg mascots on the roof from when I was a kid and I love that they're still up there. You can pull up in your car and order right from your window. They'll bring the food out to you so you can enjoy it in your car. If you prefer, you can walk up to the counter and order inside. There's a small indoor seating area and a few benches outside for dining as well. The Superdawg itself is delicious. It's served in their cool packaging box with a green tomato, sport peppers, and packed in the box with warm crinkle cut fries. The Superburger is also really good, with the same neon green relish and onions you find on the Superdawg. It's also served with fresh fries on the side. Superdawg is a true Chicago gem, and it's easy to see why they've been going strong for over 75 years. read more

I had seen Superdawg on a bunch of TV shows, and was excited to try it out. I parked in a stall and actually walked inside to place my order. I went with a Superdawg with everything on it. They package everything super nice in a box. You get your dog with mustard, relish, onion, pickle, little sport peppers and a pickled tomato! They also hook you up with a decent sized serving of crispy crinkle cut fries. I took my box outside to one of their tables and dug in. How was it? Superdawg- As far as the dog goes, this might have been my favorite dog I had in Chicago. It was a plumper, thicker dog than most of the Vienna skinny dogs you get at most places. The bun was incredibly soft, and I liked how they give you a bunch of little sport peppers instead of one or two bigger ones. Easier to eat one in each bite. The fries were super crispy and delicious in their own right. That pickled tomato was a unique twist, too. Tasty! The building is cool! They have the 2 dogs on top of the roof with glowing eyes. This, or 35th Street Red Hots were my 2 favorite hot dog/fry combos of the bunch. Would give the edge of the dog to Superdawg and the fries to 35th Street. I would come back here a lot if I lived close. Service was friendly and the Superdawg was a mighty fine tube steak! Loved it! read more

A Chicago institution and pretty good dog. Bonus points that the dogs come with fries. Only conplaint was that the bun gets soggy quickly and falls apart, making for a messy dog experience, even though we ate right after picking it up. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

I have been going to Superdawg for decades and not much has changed. On a Saturday afternoon it was packed. We did try and order from our car , but the system was not working. We were a little disappointed. Ordering did not change, you go up to the window and the order is written down on paper. The food was as good as always. The burgers are one of my favorites. And the fries, in my opinion are some of the best. We sat at a table outside and enjoyed burgers, hotdogs, shakes and malts. They have been around for 75 years , and still attract so many customers . read more

It's basically a hot dog. Don't tell them that. A weiner is a weiner unless you add some extra special toppings. Super? Not exactly. I do enjoy the ambiance of sitting in my car at the drive-in during the later part of the evening getting my weiner consumed. Oops! I meant consuming my weiner! My bad. Wait! Is that better to say? Oh, well. I am sure you get my dog talk. Seriously, I prefer the Superchic. She is a much tastier biatch! I like going on my birthday because I get a Supersandwich and large soft drink for free! Just remember to go neck in the back seat of your car to get that "Supersauce" off your lips. You'll thank me later. read more

Quality has gone down. And this last time I called to complain and the "manager" was having a bad attitude. Then he soften up. So bought to dogs and extra fries and these are not the fries I'm accustom to after cooking here over 55 + years. Brought a new friend and it was beyond disappointing. Shame on the drive for this staple historical drivedog. Well the one in wheeling ain't doing so well according to the ratings. Below just look @ the dried up clippings they call fries. Such a disappointing visit. read more

We ordered a superdawg (Chicago style), super cheesie, onion chips (the put onion rings to shame), chocolate shake and they're delicious crinkle cut fries!

What is there to say that has not been said already? The Superdawg was my first Chicago-style hot dog and it was delicious! The drive-in ordering system was very cool! The women who took my order was incredibly friendly, super nice. In pretty much no time, maybe five minutes, she came out with a paper bag holding my meal and delivered my order to the car. I was able to pay with credit card, all very convenient! The Superdawg with all the trimmings, including the "memorable" hot pepper, underneath a bed of fries, was a delicious late-dinner meal! read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid (obviously less now because hot dogs and fries as a diet is frowned upon when you grow up), but I still love getting to visit every now and again. The food and the ambiance of the drive-in is just like I remember every single time, and consistency like that, that spans a literal lifetime is something truly special to me and hard to find now! Their fries are seriously the best, but make sure you get the cheese. I typically get a classic superdawg or the superfish, but they're always hot and perfect. Service is always prompt and friendly, I've never had a bad experience. I recently watched a mini documentary online and it was really cool to learn that it's still family run for over 70 years! Definitely a must-go place when you're in the area and hopefully a tradition for lots of families for years to come. read more

It's very sad how much of a decline in product they produce vs when I was a child. The cheese cups are a gritty texture, the fries don't seem fresh at all as if they were just re fried and set to get mushy. And there's no snap when it comes to the hot dog. For $9 it's honestly a waste of money. Gene and Jude's seems to be the only good place to go for an authentic dog read more

Me and a few of my co-workers stopped at Superdawg Drive-In while we were in Chicago in July 2024, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. This place is pure nostalgia -- a classic Chicago drive-in that somehow still feels exactly the way it probably did decades ago, only better. The service was fast and friendly, and the food came out piping hot. I had the Superdawg (of course), and it was everything a Chicago-style hot dog should be -- perfectly steamed poppy-seed bun, snappy dog, tangy mustard, crisp pickle, onions, sport peppers, the works. The fries were golden and fresh, and the portion sizes were just right. Everyone in our group loved what they got, from the burgers to the shakes. We ate in the car with the tray on the window and had a great time -- it's that perfect mix of old-school fun and genuinely good food. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do. If you're visiting Chicago or even if you live there, Superdawg is a must-stop. It's more than a meal -- it's an experience. read more

We placed 2 Superdawgs with SuperVeggies (fried vegetables) and the order arrived in about less than 10 minutes. We parked the car at the drive up and the car hops deliver directly to your car. They no longer serve the food on the tray and are given everything in the paper bag. Overall the food was good but personally it was too salty. The pepper, relish, and pickles were too salty where it left the hot dog inedible. My husband was also sweating from salty food. Will I come back? Not really but it was a good one time experience. read more

This is such a classic. You see the iconic dawgs on top of the building and you know you're in for a treat. I always order a hot dog, and I'm not really a hot dog girlie other than superdawg! My husband swears by the superdawg, my kiddos love the chicken midgies, and you cannot skip a side order of onion crispies. If we're going late at night (because it's open super late if you have a craving!), the pineapple shake is always a 10/10. I love that they do drive up if you want to have a car date, but that they also have plenty of picnic tables for a nice day! Service is quick and kind no matter which way you order. It's a staple in the neighborhood. There's no competing with it! :) read more
