Dave's Red Hots

Food is excellent. Their fries are freshly cut, not frozen. Cost was reasonable and service was fast. They even had diet 7-up. Hole in the wall place but the food is beyond excellent. Scale of 1 to 10, i give them a 15. I was going to Dave when I was young at the age of 5 and I am 70. This is a winner.

The food and service were absolutely phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back again.

If you like an good ole' hot dogs and fries this is an old hole in the wall restaurant that the community has been going to for ages. I like Jimmy's better, but Dave's is pretty popular.

I trekked all the way out to Dave's Red Hots for my first of many Chicago dogs and it was worth the trip. I got cash specifically for DRH, but I noticed they do take card now (with a minimum and a small fee). I was tempted to get a combo, or try the Italian beef as well, but I hadn't worked up enough of an appetite yet. I came just before noon, and am glad I did because it was fresh and thereafter was a steady stream of people. For $4.80 I got a red hot with everything on it, and more hand-cut fries than I could eat. It was a little tricky to get to the hot dog under all the french fries rolled up in the same paper with it, but I didn't drop a thing. The hot dog itself was perfect, snappy, and satisfying. I chatted with another lady outside who seemed surprised to see me, and wondered how I heard about and decided to come to Dave's Red Hots. She told me she's been eating it since she was a kid, and couldn't recommend another spot because she wouldn't go anywhere else. She also told me that yes, it has been owned for a long time, but the history is it was originally across the street under Jewish ownership, until it was bought and sold to the current family. They still use the same great hot dogs though, and haven't messed with a classic.

It's a staple of good food, at a very fair price, they are quick, prompt, accurate and efficient, and generous with the portions, i do hope that they stay in business for a very long time, they are good to the community

Daves is a West side Staple. The Hot dogs are legendary and the fries are always Piping hot. It is definitely the place to go for a great hot dog. P.S It may look a lil ran down but trust, you're in for a treat!

This place was fantastic! I ordered two hot dogs with mustard and onion, plus a diet 7-up. The dogs were hot and fries were perfect. The behind the counter service were 2 nice ladies and kept the line moving. The dark wood paneled interior was like a time warp to 1983; and these places are a great find in Chicago. When in the area next time, I'll definitely visit again.

No red hotdogs compare to Dave's at all... GREAT FOOD AND GREAT PEOPLE!!!!! On top of that the customer service is GREAT!

I have been a fan of Dave's for years ,those sliced cucumbers &home cut fries, always good,I usually get a Vienna polish with easy everything, always taste the same, Great....

I drove all the way from Elk Grove Village to sample the hot links at Dave's and they did not disappoint! Just the fact that they have survived for over 80 years without changing the menu, is slightly short of amazing. I was only able to eat the hot dogs this time, but will try more of the menu at a later date. I could make a meal out of the fries alone - Excellent. They keep the prices very reasonable, also. Where can you get a combo meal for under $6.00 these days? Some of the booths are from the original restaurant. Five generations have worked at Dave's. Four generations are working there, currently. Very nice women. Hopefully, they will continue for many years and generations to come......" Ketchup is for hamburgers, mustard is for hot links".......
