The food here is good! Everything is A la carte, and a bit pricy, but you'll love the amount of freshly deep-fried fries. If you're out late, and in the area stop by, you'll be glad you did.

Melody LeggeJanuary 2, 2016Good Chicago style hot dog. Wish it had the classic neon green relish. Chili cheese fries are huge and tasty. Clean and fast.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Got a late-night hot dog craving? This local legend has been around since the '70s and is open until 3 a.m. nightly—and until 4 a.m. on weekends. Read more
- Rich EisnerOctober 7, 2019Best spot for a Chicago style hot dog!! Freshly made fries too!! Service is always friendly and fast!!!
Joanna FrigoJanuary 14, 2020The fries weren’t hot🙁. I should have said something. That being said fries need to be made fresh or if premade warmed in the fryer
Bob DeGraffAugust 12, 2014Get the Italian beef and wash it down with a shot at the adjacent Clark Street Bar.
Shannon JeropkeOctober 14, 2021The food is good, the drinks are fairly priced, the bar usually has the game on.
The pizza puffs and chili dogs are just what one needs to combat the alcohol from the bars!
Claire GAugust 21, 2014$10 minimum on credit cards, so you have to get at least three orders of fried macaroni bites. Not that that's a bad thing.
Mark MichalskiJune 27, 2012I miss The Clark Dog! I'll be back in Chicago in January at the latest, and it's a guarantee that I'll stop by a time or two.
Robert JenkinsApril 27, 2012Get the double cheeseburger and add bacon. Ask for it extra crispy followed by a wink. They like winks ;)
Good place for a Vienna Beef Hot Dog. The only negative is you have to repeat your order at least 3 times before you check out.

David ShefferJune 18, 2012Even though the "gyros" are plural on the menu they only serve you one... ooops ??
Angela AngelaFebruary 6Terrible food that was way overpriced. Do not recommend. Veggie dog was cod and bun was falling apart. Patrons were drunk inside mid week.
Don't forget the attached bar. What goes better with drunk food than more cheap drinks.
