Apparently, when you are visiting Chicago, you have to try a superdawg.... The flavor was all there, the bun was a bit soggy. I absolutely loved the nostalgia. And apparently the locals just love it read more

The food was solid, but the service was slow. Not ideal for late night munchies if you're in a hurry. Arrived at 8:00 and didn't get food until 8:30. I suspect it was because they were busy cleaning up before they close at 9:00? The burger was juicy and ample. But this place is best known for their dogs. Nice, snappy sausage with all of the trimmings. I love the pickle spear and pickled green tomato on the side. The crinkle fries were crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. read more

I mean, what else can I say about this Chicago icon? A local staple and one best example of the goods eats from the greatest city in the world? They've got a solid hotdog here. The classic Vienna Beef frank we know and love paired with their epic super fries, pickle included. They've got indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of drive in space if you' d prefer to eat in your car. I can't say I've had a bad time here. Absolutely a great joint to go to, especially in the summer. I love this place, and I hope to explore more of the menu down the road. read more

We went to superdawg in wheeling, the price we paid for 2 hotdogs and a side dish of chili and 2 bottles. Of Aquafina was 35.00 the hotdogs were good but the fries were over cooked and no taste to them . The price was very high the service was ok. They gave us no forks . I will make my own hot dogs next time and fries. read more

So for some reason this super dog is not even close to the one in Chicago. The food is inconsistent. The service is inconsistent. I mean, the food should be hot. The fry should be nice and crispy. I'm not sure who's in charge of this location, but with all the not great reviews, it should be always a good review. I wish it would do something about it. The original one is always the best very consistent. honestly, I was there and in the past experiences I had I didn't even order the food because of what happened to me last time. The fries were not cooked properly. The hotdog was cold. You shouldn't be like this. It's a staple in the area management should step up and take care of these problems. It's very easy to fix. read more

What a fun place! I really wanted a milk shake, and this is the place to get one, 10/10. I added a hot dog to my order. The dog was okay, 6/10. Fries, so-so 5/10. Service at the car was great 10/10. Ambiance's was 10/10, super fun place. read more

The dawg is a good portion size and I asked for the onion chips instead of the fries. The bun and onions are excellent. The onion chips have too much batter IMHO. They are crunchy but the onions weren't sweet to me. I wouldn't order them again. read more

I loved Superdawg!! The crunch and juiciness of the hot dog itself would have me return itself! My bae digs hot dogs so we had to stop by as soon as they opened 10am for our brunch post workout. Already there were a few folks coming in to enjoy meal..I wanted to try the tamales, pineapple shake, and original Superdawg while my fiancé got the Polish sausage dog with fries, cup of cheese, and a beer. I could not finish the tamale, the taste felt off..kinda reminded me of the smell of play doh. The hot dog itself sang a symphony of flavors in my mouth tho! I loved the relish, juicy dog, poppyseed bun...all of it! So yummy! I tried my fiancé's meal and the cheese dipped in fries was so yummy too!! The pineapple shake had chunks in it but the base tasted more vanilla like..overall the meal was sensational and nostalgic. We took picks by the wieners too! Had a kitschy cute time at Superdawg!! read more

The same fun experience of eating in the car & the cute couple on top. They have nice upgrades like tables along back on grass. This one doesn't seem to respond to light & come out to cars. Very few cars in lot. Must go to drive through. There is no sign otherwise. They do not take $50 or $100 bills. The lowest of society ruin it for all. Credit cards are welcome. Only negative, the fresh fries get worse as the day progresses. They soak up the dark old grease. Mine were inedible dark brown soggy with stinky grease. Used to be like Gene & Jude's where people go just for fries at times. But they are open 24 hrs. read more

As many times as I've been to Superdawg, I've never tried the Superfish. Super indeed. Two large deep fried fish filets on a grilled brioche bun (or dark rye) nestled among crinkle cut fries, pickle spear and pickled tomato wedge. It was too much of a good thing, unfortunately, and a bit greasy. The fries seemed a bit soaked in grease. I did feel a bit queasy and did not finish. Still, a fun experience to come here and eat. Next time I will order a hot dog. read more

Went recently and got their fish sandwich and their supersoda. The food there was delicious if you eat right after you get it. The soda was super overfilled which made it hard to clean up but it was really good. The service was fast even though they were busy. They also have a lot of outdoor seating and you can also eat inside your car. read more

Definite tourist destination! Stop if you are in the area. For us, it was fine. Meant to order a burger, the menu was overwhelming so I ended up with a Whoopsieburger or something, it was a double. It was $11.25, $2 more than the single. My son complains, so no toppings, plain burger ordered here. It was fine, the burger meat was meh, but I will say, the bun was delicious. The fries are also delicious, worth getting. My problem is that there is no other price point if you just want a plain dog or plain burger. It's crazy to pay the same for a hot dog with ketchup as you play for a Chicago style dog. My opinion, but I don't love this pricing. Ultimately, the food was fine, but not stellar. That said, Superdawg is a must stop in the area. The vibe is cool for sure. Go when you have times it will take a hit to get your order. read more

I've been going to Superdog since the time of only one location at Devon and milwaukee. It's a Chicago classic, a must visit if you want a Chicago dog and the traditional flavor that our parents ate in the 1950s! The Wheeling location has been open for at least 20 years, I think more. It has a modern vibe, not like the traditional, original location. The food is almost as good, but I think lacks That Special Sauce of old equipment and old places and old machines. I had a super dog with fries, and a chocolate malted. I was very happy, although it just lacked something. I think customer service falls the same way as the food. The Wheeling location is very clean, the crowd is nice, there's tons of parking, and it's still a great experience. However, and this, in my mind, is a big detractor, when I went this past Sunday at dinner time, there was no car service. I pulled into a spot, press the button for car service, and it was told to go through the drive-thru. That was very disappointing. I ended up eating inside. read more

Went here today to celebrate my husband's in heaven birthday! He loved both of the locations as do I . We ate inside today because this location has indoor seating . It was cold today The service counter people are nice. You order and pick the food up. If you don't get fries it's 2:50 less. We had the hotdog Chicago style and a chocolate malt . They are truly very thick and delicious . Malts and shakes cost the same. Size regular or large. I forgot to check in and now I live 40 minutes away. Well worth the drive . read more

Cool place to visit. I assume they still have carhops in warm weather but I'll have to wait and see. Not the friendliest staff but this is the Chicago burbs, not the south. You could say that they were Chicago friendly I reckon. They have a good variety of menu options, including Superdawg Beer. Prices aren't bad unless you substitute onion chips for fries. I paid $18 for double burger, onions, and large drink. Ouch. My Whooperburger fresh and delicious. Same toppings as a Superdawg, including neon green relish, sport peppers, and a pickle. This is a five star burger. The Superchips were just OK. Not enough onion flavor to me. Sweet tea was really good, even for a southern boy. Thumbs up there. read more

We decided to try this place as a fun spring break stop. We ordered hotdogs and their version of the polish. The service was fast and seemed like they were well staffed. The hotdogs were tasty, but we weren't a big fan of the fries. The fries were fresh but just brown and tasted oily. I wasn't a big fan of super dog/their version of the polish. At the end we ordered ice cream. The ice cream was rich and tasty. There is plenty of seating. The kids had a great time and they thought the hotdog characters were funny. read more

What a disappointing visit. Sometimes when things constantly harken back to the good old days, they should probably stay there. Such is the case with Superdawg. Got here at open and the floors could have definitely used a mopping. Everything from the architecture to the furnishings to the cups and containers were aesthetically consistent with the 50's, which felt more lazy than creatively retro. Ordered a superdawg and fries with cheese. The hot dog was concerningly sweet and the 15 fries were probably fragments of whatever was left over from yesterday (and very soggy). The cheese was also sweet and very gritty. Not sure what the process was to produce it, but I'd rather not know to be honest. Root beer was fine. The employees were kind and welcoming, the only redeeming quality of the place as far as I can tell. I thought it might be worth a visit based on historical value, but not even that would be reason enough to burn another $15 here. read more

Went in to buy hotdog and they would not take cash... I had a $50 bill and he told me they don't take anything larger than a $20 bill. So I left and will never return. I worked hard for my money and wanted to pay cash, but they wouldn't accept it... this is not the America I grew up in read more

The WORST hot dog that I've ever had! The fries were good. The service was decent. While the dining area was loud it was pleasent.

Take a step back to the drive inn days, including someone coming to your car to take your order. You can also go inside for counter service. The menu has superdawgs, burgers and chicken. The lady that took our order was friendly and helpful. We had the superdawg which came with fries and dressed in full Chicago style hot dog. The soft sesame seed warm bun and large all beef hot dog was awesome. This place is a must if you are looking to experience the authentic Chicago hot dog. read more

Been eating there for decades. Something has changed in the hot dog. Mushy and bland. Did they change suppliers?

Not a bad place. It's pretty much what you would get at the Chicago location, but I really liked that. The parking lot is way bigger than the original location and there's an actual spot to eat inside if you want to. they also have the merch selection upfront and on display better than the original, which really helps. The food itself is good and it comes out fast and tastes like the other location does but this place at least doesn't overload your hot dog with seven or eight sport peppers. This place is worth a stop if you're in the area read more

A Chicagoland classic, well deserved. Superdawgs are fantastic. Drive thru or car hop service.

10/10 for the Superdawg. I typically get mine with everything on it minus the hot peppers. It is one of the best quality Superdawgs. The Wheeling location is beautiful, very modern and clean. Service is fast and friendly. read more

Nyt best 25 restaurants right now. I love it. Bread so soft and yummy. Stay in your car and order/ they bring out food/ way to pay. We had the superdawg, milk shake and super cheese. Nothing like this back home ( Pdx). It was a classic Chicago dog. Yum read more

You can take the boy out of Chicago but you can never take the craving for a Superdawg out of the boy. But eating here doesn't completely satisfy the crave which makes me realize much of the love came from the atmosphere of the original. Nothing annoys a true Chicagoan more than suburbanites telling people they are "from Chicago." A Superdawg in Wheeling feels just as wrong as ketchup. And yet...if Wheeling does have a real Superdawg, can't they justifiably insist they are from Chicago? Such a conundrum. read more

Chicago has more hot dog joints than McDonald's franchises, and Superdawg is among the most famous among them. Before I share my thoughts on this Windy City institution, I must disclose that the location I went to is a branch, not the well-known original. Like a lot of the places I try away from home, Superdawg entered my realm of thought by way of Travel Channel. It's been years since I last saw the program of which the venerable stand was featured so when my cousin suggested we hit it up after we returned from Milwaukee on Wednesday, I was all in. Well, the hype was worth it. I had the Superdawg combo, which further solidified my belief that America's third-largest city is home to the galaxy's best tube steak. The dog and fries came neatly organized in a box. Also, I must advise potential diners that while the pickle is an integral part of the traditional Chicago dog, it's on its lonesome here. That, however, doesn't take away from delicious afternoon euphoria I experienced. Whether you drop by here or the flagship location, be sure to take a few snaps of the iconic wiener couple, which represent the husband and wife who established the business more than 70 years ago. read more

After growing up on and eating at the original Superdawg since the mid 1960's, I've proudly supported the debate that there was no better Chicago hot dog out there. Well 60 years later I'm throwing in the towel. Today is the first time I can recall that the Superdawg had no flavor. My wife and I typically go to the Wheeling location a couple times per year and we both noticed that the French fries were soggy and the hot dog lacked flavor. Another disappointment was that the iconic pickled tomato was missing! "From the bottom of my pure beef heart", it is difficult to believe that the Berman family might still own Superdawg. Maurie and Flaurie would not have enjoyed these Superdawgs. read more

I stopped in today to grab a gift card. It comes in a cute box shaped like their fry box. That said, I've eaten at superdawg, both this location and the original, many times and it's always a perfect meal! Finding a drive-in style place in this day and age is tough and they do it perfectly here, from the food to the service. I usually get the double burger with everything, onion chips or the fried veggies basket, and a rootbeer. It's a classic combination that you just can't beat. I love the neon green relish they use here, it screams Chicago with every bite. They put it on the burgers as well which gives them a different vibe than other burger places. Of course, everything is delicious here. I've had the hotdogs, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese and a few more items. I'm never disappointed. They've got some good merch as well so with Christmas coming this could be a great spot to grab some gifts for the Chicago hot dog fans in your life. Overall, this spot is a definite winner for a weiner (sorry, I can't stop myself sometimes). read more

A classic drive in perfect of you're looking for a hot dog or burger with a shake. You can walk in and order to go or park in one of the stalls, order from there and dine in your car. Or if you're really on the go there's also a drive through. All the entrees come with fries so no need to order fries on the side. Everything comes packed in a little box perfect for carside eating. Prices are very reasonable and service is fairly fast. Food is delicious, I've never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend the Whoopskidawg, a polish with grilled onions, ugh drooling just thinking about it. And the crinkle cut fries are also just the perfect side. For a fun and cheap outing that will transport you back to the 50s this place is absolutely the best. read more

What a throwback- carhops, a tray that rests on your car window kind of an old-fashioned drive-in! Still, a well-regarded Chicago dog was on the menu since my nephew was in town! We drove in, felt the kitschy vibe with the building decor, and we all decided on the (highly overpriced) Superdawg (Chicago-style dog) - loved the service, the fact the tray came with salt, extra napkins, and ketchup (why do we also spell it as "catsup"? I'm confused!). Came in a little box (emphasis on the "little") - we each opened up the little box to find it stuffed with yummy French fries, and buried below was the aforementioned Chicago dog! Ok - the dog was good. The fries were better, unfortunately- but was it worth almost $9? I don't think so - the price is for the building design, I'm sure. In short- it's a great place to bring an out of towner - but now that we're in-towners? We probably won't come back until the next batch of visitors/ well - visits. read more
