I'm so glad they are back! Parky's has amazing French Fries! I go Italian combo or beef hot dog. If there is a crowd don't be afraid, they are fast. The crowd is just proof you are in the right place.

Went here for a quick bite. Ordered the Chili cheese dog with some fries and my husband ordered the chicago hot dog and chili dog. I liked the flavor of mine. Service was fast, staff was friendly and efficient. They have their own parking .

It's been a long time since I've been here. I had to come back and try it. They have one of the freshest & most authentic American styled burgers. Made fresh with all natural beef. You can tell it's real meat when you don't get bloated after you eat. The people running it are very nice. Kinda pricey came out $60 for 5 burgers with fries. But it's worth it. Super clean place. Everyone's wearing masks which says a lot about the establishment. Love it. I wish they had on the air condition on, it was pretty humid in there.

Was in the area and need my Parkys fix. Two Polish and fries, just what I needed. Parkys is the best, and I highly recommend!

The service is decent, food is fresh, and the prices are good. Come recommended! The only problem that I have is the prices of the food are not shown on the front menu.

I do love Parky's! This is a no-frills hot dog and burger place. But it's been around forever and for good reason. The food here is good, fast and cheap. Add to that, the staff is super friendly. If you need something customized, just ask.No indoor dining, at least not right now, but a few tables outside makes a nice place to sit in good weather. Give Parky's a try and I don't think you'll be unhappy. Just don't expect 3 Michelin Star dining.

Not cool...ordered 2 hot dogs. The way you always tell about a quality hot dog is the storage. If they store the hot dogs in water to keep them warm .What happens to a hotdog sitting in water for some time ? It turns gray and then to mush. Dont take my word for it. Order a hotdog. And watch the prep......

I love the cheddar, burger and fries even though the owner is a Sox fan and I'm a Cubs fan. She's great to me can't go along with the service or the ambience.

I've been coming to Parky's since childhood and I can confidently say that these are THE BEST hotdogs and fries in the Chicagoland area. Always worth the drive from the near north side of Chicago. My recent visit since their reopening (after having to close to repair damage from a car crashing into their lobby.) was nothing short of excellent! Their hotdogs themselves are a blend of pork and beef and taste better than what you typically find elsewhere. It's like they're steamed into the bun with just the right amount of fresh and flavorful toppings: mustard, relish, tomatoes and sport peppers. (I skip the onions but I know many love this addition as well). The fries are made from freshly cut potatoes and are equally as crave-able and satisfying. Parky's knows best! After all, they've been doing this since 1946! I love this gem of an eatery and I'm so happy that they haven't changed a bit since my very first visit.
