Midway Dogs

I was really craving a hotdog and my google search lead me here to Midway Dogs. I have to say it's not easy to find. In the same area as spicy boys but hidden by the volleyball court(had no idea that was there) on some grovel land. It was one of 2 trucks there and I got the Chicago hotdog with some tots.Firstly the tots are amazing I would come back just for that alone! The hotdog was really good as well, my only issue is the bun itself. It's not thick or sturdy enough to hold everything so once I held it in my hands it immediately started to break apart. With a better bun this would be amazing. Nevertheless I will be back because the service was amazing and I enjoyed my meal!

I've had Midway Dogs on the "try" list for a while now. First time I visited it was bad timing on my part-the day they moved from Moontower to The Yard-and of course they were closed. I visited today though and they were fully operational. The proprietor is very friendly and helpful, and the menu has more than just Chicago hot dogs including Italian beef, Polish dogs, pizza puffs, chili dogs, and other selections.We ordered Chicago hot dogs and Italian beef. The hot dogs came with brown beach-style mustard, which is a non-starter for me-tradition dictates yellow mustard. The other requisite ingredients (dill spear, tomato slices, green relish, onions, sport peppers) were all present however. The Vienna wiener appeared to be grilled rather than boiled. The flavor overall wasn't bad but just not a Chicago dog.The Italian beef had a generous portion of roast beef lightly cooked in their flavorful au jus. The au jus is the key to this sandwich with the Italian spices permeating the juice. It came on a roll that was very close to a Turano style topped with hot giardiniera. However, sweet peppers were not available which is a bummer. They are also traditional and not hard to make-sliced green bell peppers briefly simmered in the au jus to soften them and soak up more flavor.Another annoyance here is that there were no fries. They are on the online menu but at the truck we could only order tater tots-it may be a recent change, not sure if it's permanent. You gotta have fries with dogs or Italian beef. These criticisms all may sound like nitpicks but if you're going to represent Chicago, it has to be done right. The food is tasty, but just misses the mark for me though.

Bonita is the REAL DEAL! growing up in Chicago Chicago, the most glorious thing 1 could eat, is an Italian beef sandwich, followed closely by a proper Chicago dog. Was thrilled to find a food truck in the Saint Elmo district offering authentic versions of both. The beef is a generous portion, and perfectly seasoned. The giardiniera condiment is key. The chicago dog was on point though I do miss the poppyseed bun. Super friendly Service. I can't wait to come back and try the pizza puffs.

Perfect hotdogs, across from all the St. Elmo's bars by the volleyball courts.vegan options which is sooo much appreciated!

Get the big daddy, it's the jumbo dog, HUGE! They do it up right with the celery salt, tomatoes, onions, sport peppers and pickle.

The Polish Dog - Chicago style was Glorious!! I have high expectations in general when it comes to my Hot Dogs...plus I had never had a Chicago style before and this particular one did not disappoint!! In my opinion it was better than the regular dog. I'd definitely get the Polish Dog any day of the week!The Chili Cheese Dog on the other hand was a Huge Let Down...it Sucked!!! The chili itself was like eating Nothing. No flavor. It was brown...that's about all I can say about it. Perhaps others like but I'll never recommend it to anyone.

This review is solely based on price. $20+tip for 2 chili cheese dogs that have nothing fancy about them. It's the cheapest ingredients they could buy from Walmart. Of course it tastes decent, but it's not 'restaurant quality' that $9 per hot dog would get you. $9!!! Crazy

The polish dog Chicago style was delicious, brought people from Chicago here and it got their sign of approval too. The service was wonderful and so kind and I also loved the jalapeño ranch as it had a nice kick to it. Highly recommend

I'll call this review "How do I compare thee" lol...Originally I hale from East Los Angeles "Boyle Heights" and recently moved to Texas near the Austin area. And I'm trying to compare the TexMex style with the traditional ELA food, it's not easy. However, today we came to this Gem of a spot that has 7-8 food trucks and a Hair salon trailer yup you read right a hair salon on wheels. Now back to my food lol, I ate 2 chili dogs that damn near close to " Chronis Hotdog" in you guessed it ELA.. The chili dog was on point actually both of them on point lol. And the chili cheese fries were just as good nothing to complain about. If I did have a complaint again if I did it'll be the dogs didn't snap when you bite into them but on my scale 1-10 I'll give these dogs a solid 8. For bringing me back to ELA through these chili dogs I'll give them a solid 10, as we all know things taste better when your at the spot.. I sent this picture to my family and haha my youngest daughter asked to bring her one home. Well guess what we'll be back tomorrow we'll for her, as I saw a tamale truck that grab my attention. Guess there's another review coming mañana. I'll be that regular that keeps coming back, see you soon...

This is a great hot dog! We got the Chicago dog amd the Polish dog and both were perfect. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly cooked as were the pickle chips. We are very happy they are just down the street from us. Located at Moontower. The owners were friendly. We will be back!
