It says "Factory Store": It's a great little Vienna hot dog and sandwich stand! The Vienna Factory Store is a bright clean hot dog stand with 6 stools to sit indoors, at least 28 more spots at picnic red metal tables in an enclosed patio (Dec 2025), and for warm months, more seats at outdoor umbrellaed tables. It's decorated in bright red and yellow, and has a menu of various hot dogs, sausages, and sandwiches, plus fries and soft drinks. There's menus on the wall above the counter, and some specials on cards. We got the $12 two-dog special, which we got done-up as Chicago dogs. We sat at the far end across from the counter, on stools at a narrow window-facing bar-like shelf. Of course the Chicago dogs were delicious, with all the right ingredients including brightly-spicy sport peppers and fresh poppyseed buns. The dogs we got looked kind of small, but were quite filling with all the fixings. (They have a "jumbo" dog for $1 more.) The fries were perfect: piping hot, crispy outside, soft inside. Besides hot dogs, there's hot ready-to-eat Italian beef, Polish sausages, corned beef, pastrami, turkey-pastrami, brisket, and burgers! And there are fridges and freezers full of Vienna products from the factory across the street, plus a shelf full of Vienna merch. It had a steady flow of customers around 11am on a Monday, and the friendly efficient staff kept things moving along. It's easy to drive to, about a mile west of the Dan Ryan East Expressway at Pershing. It's a 20min hike from White Sox Comiskey Park (Rate Field). This place is a must-visit destination for any hotdog fan, especially those who want the perfect Chicago Dog! read more

Chicago staple. Manufacturing facility for Vienna. Beef hotdog is literally across the street. This is authentic as it gets.

The one on the North Side was basically a showplace before it closed so the store here is the real deal. The factory is right across the street so what you get here gets walked over. The bonus is that it's not only a factory store selling merchandise and goods but they have a stand as well where they have prepared items you can buy as well as a butcher counter. They also have a small section for merch, so basically it's a one stop shop for almost anything Chicago food related. I shopped, first for the grocery items, bought a shirt on impulse and then ordered the hot dog special while I cashed out the items in my shopping basket. I also snagged their last tamale in addition to the dogs I got. I dunno, the tamale was a little bland-maybe it had been steamed too long. Likewise, there was something a little missing about the dogs as well-I think there wasn't enough celery salt on it, which seems like a minor thing but it makes a huge difference. read more

The food is great. You can get a lot of things here that you won't find in a grocery store. Everything was done correctly. The only thing I wish they had done better is the inside seating. I will have to go back when it's warm outside because there are picnic tables outside. I had the hot pastrami sandwich and it was great. It's counter service. read more

Listen, I love this place. The girls in the back are a staple in there. Quick place get your order in and in 5-7 minutes foods ready to go. I've been coming here for the past 3 years now when I started a new job. With all of this positivity you might ask why 3 stars? Well since ive been coming here I noticed sometimes when I come in and get the hot dog special I get small hot dogs. Sometimes I get some medium hot dogs. Sometimes I get some jumbo dogs. All same special. Sometimes they'd give me 2 double dogs (2 dogs 1 bun). Maybe being friendly. What I've also noticed is in the last few months they've raised there prices on everything making there hot dog special 15$+ You'd think being the factory you'd have the best dog prices around. Places that sell Vienna dogs aren't even charging this much. Hot dog joints used to be a cheap goto for some fast food. I guess nothing is cheap anymore. Sad read more

I ordered 3 corned beef sandwiches the portions were too small for that price and it was a bad after taste it was like a chemical reaction from how it's being cooked,prep or something but whatever it was I will never return. read more

Vienna Beef Factory Store - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Vienna Beef Factory Store is one of those places you have to stop by, whether you're a Chicago native or a tourist. How can you pass up an opportunity to try out some great Chicago eats, directly from the source! Located right across from the actual Vienna meat distribution plant, you can order from their modest menu of Chicago-style hot dogs, jumbo dogs, chili dogs, Polish, Italian beef, corned beef sandwich, pastrami sandwich, brisket, and burgers. There are also Vienna Beef products that you can purchase, from frozen and fresh foods, condiments, and to apparel. I had their Chili Dog and their Spicy Polish, and, oh boy, these were sooo delicious! They came out piping out! The Chili Dog was loaded with chili, and the Spicy Polish had a kick. Both dogs were super juicy and had a great snap, and had that great, Vienna beefy flavor. The food was just sooo fresh and tasty! I also tried the Tom Tom Tamale, which is another Chicago favorite, but I personally was not a fan - it was just too grainy and had an off taste to it. Service was friendly, and the line moved along quickly. There isn't seating inside, but there are plenty of tables outside for an al fresco dining experience. Plenty of parking, too, in their private lot. +Chili Dog +outdoor seating available +plenty of parking in private lot read more

Vienna is a well known meat supplier and well known for their Chicago style hot dogs. This is a factory store with the warehouse across the street. Food is great, fast and has bench seating outside or a pull-up stools at the inside counter/window. Vienna definitely has a great hot dog and what better a place to get one but at the warehouse store. read more

The "factory store" prices are now higher than grocery store prices! What a rip-off. I used to buy a hundred dollars of salami and hot dogs every 3 - 4 weeks. Now, the same food costs more than $225. I stopped going here. The food is good tasting, but not at all worth the high price. read more

Highly recommended! Top quality. You could not find it any fresher than from across the street from the manufacturer. Wide range crowd, but always friendly. Pastrami on Rye is to die for. Back it up with a Chicago style Hot Dog. Natural Casing of course. read more

Vienna Beef is no doubt a Chicago staple, so I'm happy their factory store is close to my home. I've been to this location several times and the staff is friendly & efficient. There's always a line but never too long of a wait which is always nice. Their Chicago style hot dogs is king and delicious. I have yet to try their other menu items but I definitely will when I go back here. read more

What a deal! Less than eight dollars for a freshly made meal which includes two hotdogs with the works, french fries, and a soda or as Chicagoans love to say, "pop." Nothing fancy, just fresh, which made our meal so wonderfully good and a clean place with happy workers. What an anomaly in this "post" pandemic World. Parking is easy, ordering is easy, the good life when it comes to this fast food factory store. We at outside under a well-made canopy, nice. Also, buy uncooked fresh hotdogs for your parties and holiday BBQs. Oh, did I mention cream soda? read more

What can you say about this place only that it is Chicago through and through. I skipped my lunch and it was already 3 PM and I stopped in to grab a quick hotdog, I ordered a jumbo dog with extra sport peppers of course everything on it. I was starving Marvin, I bit into my dog and it was overcooked. Nine times out of 10 I just would've eaten my lunch and been on my way, but I decided to go back in and share my disappointment. I discreetly ask for the manager and mentioned to him that my dog was overcooked, it didn't have the snap that you expect from a Chicago Vienna beef hotdog. I mentioned to him that I worked in various of hot dog joints around the city so I know what "over cooked" looks and tastes like. He winked at me and Angie ushered to get me my meal hot and fresh including an order of french fries that I did not order previously. It was then that I realized I didn't have anything ready for dinner, so I picked up an Italian beef kit With some Vienna beef rolls. Turn to be a Great visit. Come check them out! Oh by the way, Angie gave me a swag bag to take my dinner home in. Giddyup! read more

I'll start by saying I went there to pick up items for a party,not eat. Boy was I surprised, I assumed "factory store" ment discounted prices on basic items. I was actually shocked! All the items I had planned on purchasing were at least $3 more per item there than they are at Jewel. I think they need to re name their store... So sad, really miss the old place on Damen.. Save yourself a trip shop you closest local store.. read more

Great place to grab a quick lunch and not break the bank, not very pricey like other places

Smallish hot dog stand adjacent to the plant on the corner of Pershing & Morgan... it's always busy! Straight forward menu of hot dogs, jumbos, burgers & sausages/brats. They have a grill if you want your grub char grilled! Dogs are served traditional "Chicago Style" with quality ingredients and are encased, very good. The Polish Sausages are also exceptional and cooked on the grill. They have a daily special and service is quick! Must try if in area... an actual legit hot dog joint in a disappearing era. Talk later read more

Compared to others on the list their corned beef is tough and chewy and dry. MAnny's I soooo much better.

Love coming here to buy a pack of hotdogs for my cookouts. Hot dogs are great!!! I bought the polish dogs for $12.95 . The service was great. I needed help choosing the dogs, and the cashier helped me pick and explained the difference between polish and regular hotdogs. Interior was clean. I will go back! read more

I visited the new location in Bridgeport, and I was expecting it to just sell hot dogs. Little did I know that Vienna Beef sells a myriad of other items. They serve up sandwiches too! When I went, it was a busy lunch crowd, and I ordered a brisket sandwich. Service was fast, but prices are a tad high compared to similar joints like Johnny O's and 35th Street Red Hots. Sandwiches were approximately $7.99 and up. My brisket sandwich was delicious. The server was nice enough to ask, if I wanted BBQ sauce on it or on the side. If you're looking for Vienna Beef products for your next BBQ, this is the place to go. They have bread, the meats, and even refrigerated bags all for sale, so stock up! read more

A good spot for a Chicago style hot dog and across the street from Vienna Beef's factory. Service is quick and limited dine in seating is available. They have a small parking lot shared with the BP gas station next door. Make sure to order a Chicago Style hot dog, but don't add ketchup because it is a crime within city limits. Their Chili dog is rather plain and their spicy Polish dog is not made as it should be which were disappointing. A Polish dog is not supposed to be smothered by tomatoes. Memo's in Pilsen has much tastier Chili and Polish hot dogs, and is still my favorite for best hot dogs in town. read more
