Deliciousness, I love stopping by for a hearty bite from this wonderful gem. Today was the beef and sausage and au jus. The perfect amount and the staff doesn't disappoint, this is a must try!
I'm now craving chili cheese dogs and fries ????... This menu hits all my nostalgic cravings...
Will be back soon!
Keep up the fantastic job ????????
I initially tried this fast-casual restaurant on 24 Jun 2017 based on a recommendation from an old co-worker. I made a comment to him that I've tried a Chicago Hot Dog for the first time at Chicago O'Hare airport (ORD) and was looking for an authentic place to experience a Chicago Hot Dog in Las Vegas (because that ORD experience was just amazing). Based on this recommendation, I brought my family to experience this place with me and the results were astonishing - I walked away with a full stomach, a smile on my face, and the desire to want more whenever I got hungry again.
Fast forward in time, I've been talking nonstop about Chicago Hot Dogs for months. Also, due to a recent mix-up with our travels, I thought we were going to have a layover in ORD so I could get another Chicago Hot Dog (I was excited for this layover). After realizing that I wasn't going to have a layover in ORD, I was severely bummed-out because there's something to be said about eating one of those hot dogs when you're actually in Chicago. I know that Windy City Beef-N-Dogs is outstanding and can count on their quality, so my wife and I decided to eat here on 15 Feb 2024.
I ordered the Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich (dipped) with French Fries and of course, the Chicago Hot Dog. Everything was just as remarkable as it was during my first visit, if not even better (if that's even possible). If I didn't care about my overall health, I'd probably find myself eating at this place everyday or every other day because of its unique, bold, rich, succulent, and savory flavors, until I get tired of it, or my heart gives out (whichever comes first).
The price-to-quantity/quality ratio is reasonable. I especially respect how this restaurant supports the men and women in law enforcement. However, I was slightly concerned that this restaurant doesn't offer discounts to military members, both active and Veterans, (at least that's what I was told by the cashier). Regardless, the prices are great and well worth visiting to experience authentic, Chicago-style food. If you haven't been here before, then what are you waiting for? I highly recommend this place to all locals and visitors. Rest assured, my family and I, or at a minimum, just I, will be back in the near future and not wait almost 7 years again.
As a Chicago native I absolutely love the food. But their prices are outrageous and the staff, at least at the register as you don't really talk to the cooks, is as unfriendly as they come. Miss seeing the owners behind the counter. In addition to the outrageous prices, over $5 for a single hot dog, they charge a predatory 3% credit card fee. Even running debit cards as credit cards. All to try and guilt you into adding a tip because you have to fill out and sign the receipt since it was run as credit. The fee is extra profit as the vast majority of swipe fees are below 3%. Only American Express charges 3% or more and even then not in all cases. Average swipe fees for Visa, which backs literally every major bank debit card in the country, is only 1.5%. Love the food but can't justify the price or attitude.
I hadn’t had a Chicago Italian beef sandwich prior to my first visit here. My fiancé and I were inspired to try this place after binging the first season of The Bear.
The service and atmosphere were awesome, the woman who took our order was very friendly as was the young man who rang me up for a WunderBar after the fact.
The fries were cooked to my preferred cooking where they were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The Beef sandwich was a punch of flavor and, although I got it wet this time, I think next time I’ll have it dipped.
We will definitely be back.
My husband thinks I'm nuts because I always get the Gravy Bread, and I can never finish it because for $2.50 it's a huge dish, but I can't resist. It's delicious! I also devoured my Char Grilled Vienna Jumbo Dog (so good!), and hubby enjoyed his Chicago Style Italian Beef and Sausage Sandwich, although he said the Italian sausage had more fennel than he likes. (He usually gets the delicious Maxwell Street Polish and Fries or the equally delicious Foot Long Vienna Chili Cheese Dog and Fries).
Ordering at the counter was fast and efficient, and the smiling young man who delivered food to the tables was a delight.
Being a native Chicagoan Italian Beef and Maxwell street polishes are a big deal. The Italian beef is decent for a non Chicago spot, but the polish needs a little work. They give you like 2 strips of Burnt onion as opposed to a ton of sautéed moist flavorful onions in Chicago
A little slice of Chicago here in Vegas. If you're in the mood for some good hotdogs and fries, it is a choice spot. Unpretentious and not trying to be gourmet, just a good dog and burger joint.
I can't believe all this time I didn't know about this place ! I lived in Chicago back in 1995 and 1996 and I miss a good Italian Beef with the Hot Giardiniera . I use to go to a place a long time ago near the old drive in , but it is long gone . Other places I have tried over the years just couldn't get it right . Well , Windy City has got it goin' on ! I am so happy and will definitely be coming back and bringing the family .
You can get it Dry with the Au Jus on the side , Wet , or Dipped . I got it Dry with the Au Jus on the side and used about half of it and that was plenty . It was good and juicy and I went through 3 napkins , so perfect . Ha ha . The Hot Giardiniera was on point and made my left nostril start to run a little , so perfect again . So happy to find this place .
The service was great and friendly and the place was busy with lots of to go orders and almost full tables . The French Fries was plenty and good . The decor is typical of a real Chicago diner with lots and lots of memorabilia on the walls covering everything . Cubs , White Sox , Blackhawks , etc . I would highly recommend coming here . My son is ready to come here , he said he has been craving the Chicago Style Hot Dogs . See ya soon .
