Fat Tommy's

This place is the beginning and end of the discussion on where to get the best hot dogs in the Chicago area. The dogs are delicious. I always get 2 grabbers which are dogs wrapped in bacon and covered with cheese. They have celery salt. This is the beginning of the discussion. The end: This restaurant has a great seating area that is clean. He has a stereo with CD player and turntable. The music is always eclectic and the sound quality excellent. After the order is placed you can sit and they will bring you the food. There are clean bathrooms. Why bother with places with no seating, Chicago attitude and no public restrooms.

Fat Tommy's on National Hot Dog day! No where else would do! The owner is one of the kindest people I've ever met and the workers are very friendly as well! They always have some good tunes playing as well!

Can't say I'm a big fan of Tommy's. They get three stars for their excellent customer service. The owner is a nice guy, very friendly and made conversation while we were waiting for my hot dog to be made. As far as their hot dog...not so great. This is the first time I've tried a Chicago dog with a cucumber instead of a pickle, and it didn't taste good at all. It may sound weird, but it tasted too fresh. It tasted too healthy for me. They also only give you one tomato wedge and no poppy seed on their hot dog bun. I know it's just a hot dog, but it's gotta be made just right to taste perfect. And unfortunately this hot dog was far from perfect. I won't be back.

Very pleasant experience for our first time in ! I ordered a Ditka Dog and hubby ordered a Slaw Dog. Food was absolutely delicious I will definitely be back to try something else! The owner was very welcoming and even asked for music preferences! 10/10 would recommend! Thanks Fat Tommy's !

When I want a solid hot dog on the south side that has consistency every time, I go to Fat Tommy's. Buyer beware that some don't agree that a cucumber should be on a hot dog but it's a nice refreshing change. Plus I'm not a pickle fan. I've been going here for years and the owner is super nice, knows me by name and always up for a chat if he isn't busy. You get to hang out and listen to some old vinyls while enjoying your meal. Shop local and small business. Keep up the good work guys! You have a life long fan!

Hot and fresh. All food is made to order. Enjoy several options with large selection of craft beer, sodas, tea, or domestic beer. Family owned so you get great customer service even when picking up a to go order. After a meal stick around to play some records on their free turntable. Or, if your a musician, Fat Tommy's has in-house guitars and a bass if you like to jam while having a beer or two!

Great dogs, made the way you want them, craft root beer, pork chops and ribs are great too! Owner is very cool.

Exceptional hot dog destination. Tried the Chicago style dog, fries and cheese burger. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Has a lay back atmosphere and friendly service.

Great food and even better service, love this place. Atmosphere is very enjoyable. We love the record collection always feel welcome to hang out.

I don't know if it is a home made barbecue sauce or a personal choice but the pulled pork tasted too much like celery salt.
