- Chris SnellingMärz 13, 2010Got the duck fat fries (pretty tasty) and the Salma Hayek (andouille sausage -- super tasty) and a regular dog. Stayed in line for an hour, but didn't seem that long. Foie gras next time. Delicious! Mehr erfahren

- EaterJanuar 11, 2011Duck fat fries and encased meats? Somewhat of a no brainer. That 30-minute-plus wait every time? Totally worth it. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren
- The Local TouristMärz 1, 20101. Bring cash.2. Bring friends. You will need them to talk to while waiting in line3. Share with these friends. Then you can try more.4. Don't tell any more friends. Those lines are long enough!

- Mark BJuni 27, 2010Cash only! Make sure to go during weekend to try the duck fat fries. To skip lines go during the week, as they can get really long. They also serve Green River soda!
- Look up the menu on your phone...they update it daily and I don't want to see you wavering with Doug in your sights.
- Jeff OrlickMärz 23, 2014Getting a regular dog is a rookie mistake. Get a haute dog and see what the place is all about.

- Joy ChenJuly 13, 2013Reward yourself after your hour long wait with the foie gras duck sausage. The artery blockage is worth it.

- venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011Family factor: Avoid the busy times, or you'll be waiting in line forever and you're kids will be very unhappy. Go at 10:30 or after 2. They close for almost every holiday so check hours.

- James MasonJanuar 27, 2012This place is the shit! I came in with $15 worth of gift certificates. My order came to 12.75. They rounded it to 10 and let me keep the last $5 certificate for my next visit.
- Kilian McMahonJanuar 27, 2013Order a rake of different ones. You'll have built up your appetite in the queue to necessitate more than one.

- Mark BrouchAugust 7, 2014Go on the weekend to get the duck fat fries. Be prepared to wait in line though.
- Caio FonsecsNovember 4, 2011Essa é pros brasileiros. Se vc é de São Paulo e já comeu um Dogão completo em SP não vai achar nada demais mas é bom! Se vc não gosta de pimenta fuja do The cheese Atomic.
- Joan MorrissyAugust 17, 2014Didn't love my gourmet dog: drove an hour, waited 2.5 hrs, drove 1.25 hours to get home. Got it off my bucket list, was fun - I wish I just ordered a regular old hot dog
- BravoJanuar 27, 2010You can’t be a hot dog lover and not try this "encased meat ." With over 20 types of different combinations, you’ll die from a heart attack, but you’ll die happy. The last time I was there, I ate 11

- John ThurmondMärz 22, 2013Can't ever go wrong with a Polish Maxwell Style (and, yes, *with* the hot peppers).
- Possibly the best hot dog spot in Chicago. Their Chicago style dog is so mouthwatering and delicous. The wait is definitely worth the wait.
- John LiottaSeptember 16, 2014There are no tricks to beating the lines anymore. Ever since Doug announced he is closing they have been insane. Be prepared to wait . . . a long time.
- Tony jordanDezember 16, 2011The sausage was amazing but the duck fat fries on friday or saturday make the trip worth eating here incredible
- Laura RussellMai 3, 2014We went later in the afternoon on a Friday and the wait was less than 30 minutes

- BravoJanuar 27, 2010Hot dogs and sausages, of course. Any style without ketchup. Fried and cooked in duck fat. Friday's and Saturday's a must. -Roy Yamaguchi, Top Chef
- I eat here 4 or more days a week. The sausages are that good and there's always something new to try.
- Yosh25July 12, 2009Go early to avoid the long lines. But it is worth it either way. Everything is amazing and the service is great. Fri/Sat. is fries fried in rendered duck fat. Do Not Miss!
- bella dichosoSeptember 21, 2013The only difference I found between the duck fat fries and reg fries is that duck fat fries were dry and over cooked. I don't understand. Dogs were awesome, though.. no doubt.
- Don't miss the 40-sausage chili. Each mouthful is wonderfully different. Noah's Ark in a bowl!
- Steven BorrelliAugust 9, 2011Dynamite! Totally worth the wait. But remember to BRING CASH. Highlight of my last Chicago trip.
- Sam OrcuttAugust 21, 2011The "Smoked Portuguese Linguica with Saffron Rouille and Olive Manchego Cheese" was fantastic.
