One word, superdawg! RIP Morie and God bless. One of the few Chicago styles to use their own frank formula and pickled tomatoes. Great and the packaging is second to none.

The special Superdawg proprietary all-beef sausage is perfectly complimented by pickled tomatoes. This is a unique Chicago experience that will never be duplicated. Read more

A place of culinary legend, truly a vintage experience. In operation since 1948 and you can still dine in your car. The greatest hot dog on earth comes neatly wrapped in a box, fries and all.

drive-in that delivers!! super bugers, thick malt shakes, super sundaes. hot dogs come w/ crunchy crinkle-cut fries under the chicago-style hot dog which comes w/ a pickled green tomato (not red!)

Do press the button on the left when you're ready to order, but don't flick the switch on the right. The lady inside probably won't be pleased.

The wait is long. The hot dogs lack the “good snap.” The homemade cheese sauce has too much flour. The drive-in is cute though and I enjoy the burger actually.

Good food, great place I have been eating their since I was a kid... Its just gotten to $$$$ for a local joint

Classic drive-in for a classic Chicago dog. Cheeseburgers are awesome as well. Also, apparently, John Hughes featured Superdawg in some way in each of his movies. This place really is an institution.

Some of the best fries in the city, and who doesn't love a perfect hot dog nestled into a special little box? Strawberry shake is amazing. Also the burgers are really solid. A Chicago classic.

Everything is great -- Chicago-style hot dogs, super cheesies (burgers), super (fried) veggies and shakes.
Jake SmithAugust 2, 2013
If you don't like hot dogs, this drive-in's burgers, fries, and shakes are also excellent. In my honest opinion, you're making a mistake if you don't order the onion chips.
Chicago TribuneJune 26, 2012
Besides the Superdawg and Whoopercheesie, specialties include shakes, malts, black cows, onion chips, and super veggies. The restaurant is walk in and take-out; a few picnic tables outside. Read more

Amazing! Get the dawg just the way they serve it on the menu. The pickle adds great crunch and flavor...but boy is it messy to eat. Malted milkshake fantastic too.

LEGENDARY! Best dogs in Chicago! Great burgers and milkshakes too.
Soktheary NakNovember 3, 2012
SUPERDAWG with everything including hot peppers, and don't you dare put any ketchup! You get your order super fast too!
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 13, 2012
Visit this retro drive-in for carhop service of Whoopskidawgs (sausage and grilled onions and a pickle) to your window--both locations are open until 1am Sunday-Thursday and 2am Friday and Saturday.
Fran AllenJune 10, 2019
There's always argument about the best hotdogs in Chicago but super dog is one if not the best. It has a worldwide reputation
DavidAugust 25, 2020
Whoopsiedawg is tasty and different from a standard Chicago style dog. Fries are tasty too!
Hudson SutlerJuly 20, 2017
It’s a super casual and classic experience that’s hard to find anymore. Pull up, order, and eat this classic American food. Read more

Very delicious. Old time signage. The vintage atmosphere is what makes this place stand out.
Evan[Bu]December 23, 2012
Get a Superdawg with a Hi-C drink! And don't you even think about putting ketchup on that dog! It's apparently illegal within Chicago city limits!

You may be eating in, but order your food to “Go Cubs Go.” Fans that say “go Cubs go” get a free soft drink at SuperDawgs in May on the day of any Cubs win.

Amazing hot dogs and fries! Truly a northwest side gem for american comfort food!

Superdawg, which has been in business since 1948, sports two curiously dressed, 12-foot winking weenies on its roof (named Maurie and Flaurie after the owners), and provides car-hop service. Read more

The whooperdawg is delicious, and best shakes of your life, no matter the flavor.

Now you can save $2.50 if you buy a sandwich without the fries! Yes, I like 2 superdawgs and one order of fries :-)!

Try the Whoopskidawg! A char-broiled version of a Romanian, Hungarian, Polish sausage; basted in our special sauce, and served on a Whoopskiroll, with grilled onion and a pickle. Mmm!!! Read more

This beloved Chicago drive-in is like a blast from the past. The rooftop figures of ‘Superdawg’ (in a Tarzan suit) and his lady companion have been winking at patrons since the 1940s. Read more

In for another treat at #Superdawg on #Chicago's northwest side. The best #hotdog in the area.
Mary GazzeMay 30, 2010
This is in the book "1,000 places to see before you die." Waitresses deliver food to your car, 50s drive-in style. Very cute and the hot dog and fries are great.
