Always a great dog even at 6 AM. Combo is jumbo char dog fries and bottle of pop for 10.43 with tax. Remember ketchup is for the fries ONLY

Great fresh bagels to start off your morning travels. They offer plain, multigrain, everything, sesame, and cinnamon raisin, served with cream cheese or butter, all varieties under $3.

All the dogs are Good But Spicy Italian Beef Sandwich is bomb Yo and of course The Chicago Dog

Looking for an authentic Chicago hot dog? You just found it. Don't worry about the whole "no ketchup on a hot dog" rule, but know you may get a few harsh stares from some folks.

A suitable proxy for satisfying that Chicago style dog craving. Not quite as well executed as all the staples (Portillos, Doug's). Don't bother with the Italian Beef. Not worth anyone's time.

Gold Coast Dogs splits the ends of their hot dogs before char-grilling them to crispy perfection, giving a unique blooming flower-petal look to their otherwise classic Chicago style dog. Read more

Gold Coast does a decent char-dog (get it Chicago style) and a good Italian Beef. I'd like the bun dipped more. One of the better food options at Midway. They DO have the best Midway java.

Get the jumbo char dog deal - just make sure the fries are cooked. They tend to be in a hurry here. The dog was delicious.
Pat KocovskySeptember 4, 2018
These are not Chicago dogs, they are grilled. Huge disappointment. Additionally, the lady making the dogs hates her job. Not a pleasant person.
Mary GazzeMay 30, 2010
Chicago style hot dog comes with mustard, sliced tomato, relish, pickle, onions and hot spicy peppers. No ketchup. You have to specifically ask for no peppers if you don't like spicy
Michelle SSeptember 15, 2019
Hot dog was burnt - black and tasted like charcoal. Roll was mushy and disintegrated. There are better places to get a Chicago dog in this airport.

Chicago. Style combo is a great deal, polish sausage not too bad. Peppers are hot!!!!
Enrique Gutiérrez ArzateMarch 5, 2019
One of the only options early morning besides breakfast sandwiches everywhere
Boberto PatricioFebruary 24, 2013
Tasty, make sure you get a shake from Ben & Jerry's to polish it off

Chardog, fully loaded is the way to go.

Open 24 hours: decent Chicago-Style hotdogs
Crystal RenaudMay 29, 2013
Know what you want before you get to the counter. They don't mess around.

Good place to get Chicago style hot dog at Midway Airport.
Steve DOctober 15, 2011
Food is really good here. I always stop when I am passing through Chicago.

While a steam-simmered (not boiled) hot dog is preferred among connoisseurs of the Chicago-style dog, grilling is also an acceptable cooking method. Read more

Don't forget that they serve breakfast too. Their bagel sandwiches are really good, especially the Sausage, Egg and Cheese.
John NixonMay 15, 2013
Respectable bagel breakfast sandwich. Get an everything bagel.
Ryan the DethronerMarch 12, 2012
HUGE Italian beef. Decent flavor too!
Seth PayneNovember 28, 2011
The small lobster bisque is huge and delish!

Try the Italian Beef/Sausage Combo

If you're in between flights don't miss this hot dog.
Jeff BlickenstaffDecember 2, 2010
Double Italian sausage with mustard and peppers is amazing.
Collin VoldAugust 27, 2013
A good last minute Chicago style dog before you head home...
Eric MMarch 28, 2012
I wouldn't dare ask for ketchup, I don't care where you're from or how you like it
toluSeptember 15, 2019
I opted for something with sausage. It was not good
Om AmiJanuary 14, 2013
Jumbo char dog ftw!
John MorrisonNovember 23, 2011
Worst "Chicago Style" dogs in Chicago. If the only Chicago dog you had while in town is this one, you really cheated yourself.
Brittany RamosJuly 28, 2013
Not bad for airport food.
Shirley LiuJune 16, 2014
Wouldnt let me put ketchup on my dog. Blasphemy....had to turn away

Ew, the hot dogs were so bad we couldn't finish them and the people were so rude!
Dave fanDecember 3, 2012
Not the best hot dog...fries were bad as well
Christine SpoonerFebruary 27, 2014
Chicago hotdog was a disappointment.
Bill TurkingtonMay 24, 2011
Good char dog!
Euclides MarinJune 29, 2013
No ketchup!
Matt CMay 5, 2012
Overpriced....as expected for airport food court........and undercooked..
