Superdawg Drive-In

What is there to say that has not been said already? The Superdawg was my first Chicago-style hot dog and it was delicious!The drive-in ordering system was very cool! The women who took my order was incredibly friendly, super nice. In pretty much no time, maybe five minutes, she came out with a paper bag holding my meal and delivered my order to the car. I was able to pay with credit card, all very convenient!The Superdawg with all the trimmings, including the "memorable" hot pepper, underneath a bed of fries, was a delicious late-dinner meal!

We placed 2 Superdawgs with SuperVeggies (fried vegetables) and the order arrived in about less than 10 minutes. We parked the car at the drive up and the car hops deliver directly to your car. They no longer serve the food on the tray and are given everything in the paper bag. Overall the food was good but personally it was too salty. The pepper, relish, and pickles were too salty where it left the hot dog inedible. My husband was also sweating from salty food. Will I come back? Not really but it was a good one time experience.

This was my 1st visit to Super Dawg.I must say I cannot believe what I have been missing all these years.The Superdawg was big, I want to guess it is a 1/4lb dog.I opted not to get the fries, as others said the Onion Chips were better.The onion chips were great. Pieces of onion chunks, breaded and fried. Sat outside, nice breeze. Seems the indoor dining area is not open.The speed of service was just okay. They were busy though so I can't complain. I will be back sometime. The Wheeling location is closer to homeand I was told they have Car Shows on Wednesday nights. I will have to check if they do and bring my car out.

Fun place to have hot dogs. You can sit in the car and eat it after ordering it on the buzzer in your parking spaces. Also outdoor seating. Nothing indoors. You can order at the store or on the buzzer from your car. The hot dog is all beef they state, comes w options of onion, relish, mustard, ketchup for the basic hot dog deal and it come with crinkle cut fries that are lightly crispy on the outside. Great fast meal. My superdawg (the basic hotdog w toppings and fries) was $8.65 plus tax and came out in 2 min before I could even imagine it. It came out fresh and hot. But adding onions and relish to the dog makes the bun soggy so next time I will ask for the bun separately. One wish: I would have loved the dog to be grilled instead of steamed so it could have that smoked texture and smell. But super fast and super cute drive through concept and super fun and adorable bags and logo!

Feeling old school & nostalgic? Come here for a drive-in hotdog. Limited outdoor seating is also available. The food was good. I got the signature hotdog & it came with delicious fries. Also, I got the ice tea, no sugar. Would want to get ice cream next time. Food comes in a cute little box.Nice place to try for a change.

TL;DR: Superdawg was a fine first venture into the expansive world of Chicago-style hot dogs, but in my opinion, it's not worth the hype.After my friend picked me up from O'Hare, we immediately made a bee line to Superdawg. Before my flight, I had already pored over multiple lists of famous hotdog restaurants in Chicago and decided on this spot since it was on the way to his apartment. I knew I had to try the Superdawg with Superfries ($8.65). We arrived at around 4:00 PM on a Saturday, so it wasn't terribly busy, and there were plenty of open car spots. I believe you can order inside, but we parked the car in an open spot and ordered through the speaker system by pressing the button on the left and waiting until an employee greeted us. There's also a toggle switch on the right to notify an employee to pick up empty trays, but we didn't use this function because our food came in a takeout bag.My order was completed relatively fast, and the employee brought the food out to the car. The payment process was a little awkward since they held onto the credit card reader and instead asked if I wanted to tip, so I felt obligated to.There are about three or four blue tables outside if you want to feel the breeze on your face while you sit and feast. And this way, you can look up at the two quaint iconic hotdog statues overseeing the restaurant.Summarized from their website, the Superdawg comes in a cute blue box containing a pure beef hotdog on a poppy seed bun, topped with mustard, piccalilli (the neon artificial green relish), one kosher dill pickle spear, chopped onions, and some hot peppers. Although not mentioned on their website, the order also comes with a pickled green tomato segment nestled next to the hotdog and on top of their Superfries (crinkle-cut fries). Napkins and ketchup packets were included in the takeout bag; obviously, ketchup should only be used for the fries.Eating the Superdawg is definitely a messy experience due to all the trimmings, so make sure to have the napkins close at hand. But honestly, I don't get the hype around it, especially since it costs over $9 after tax and tip, and the amount of food you get makes it more of a snack rather than an actual meal. The hotdog wasn't anything special. I'm also not a fan of tomatoes, so the pickled tomato was a miss for me. The fries were just mediocre, and my friend agreed. So I'm left wondering if I could've gotten a similar experience for cheaper at another Chicago dog joint.

This is such a classic. You see the iconic dawgs on top of the building and you know you're in for a treat. I always order a hot dog, and I'm not really a hot dog girlie other than superdawg! My husband swears by the superdawg, my kiddos love the chicken midgies, and you cannot skip a side order of onion crispies. If we're going late at night (because it's open super late if you have a craving!), the pineapple shake is always a 10/10. I love that they do drive up if you want to have a car date, but that they also have plenty of picnic tables for a nice day! Service is quick and kind no matter which way you order. It's a staple in the neighborhood. There's no competing with it! :)

My favorite hot dog place in chicago! Ambience is perfect and I love the drive in vibes.Yes, it's expensive for a small box of food but it's a chicago classic. Service can sometimes take a while in car when there's a big line but nothing too crazy. Admittedly I don't go here often and usually head to portillos which tastes the same for half the price. But I do really love both establishments and consider them two must stops for a good chicago dog.The dancing hot dogs on top of the restaurant are worth a drive by on their own.

Such a fun twist on fast food with the family or a fast food date night with a nostalgic feel or blast from the past. We love driving up here every few months and it's nice to not have to get out of the car because we'll usually have our dog. Just pull up, take a look at the menu, call the button, and place your order. Friendly & fast service with the option of card or cash.I've been inside to the walk up service and they have a bar to stand and eat on the go. They also have a couple tables outdoors to park and eat if you'd like. We've take advantage of both options but the walk up delivery to our car is our favorite of course.I love their hot dogs - a perfect classic. They also have a great burger and their onion chips have been a favorite of ours these last few visits. Every meal is complemented with a shared root beer float of course! My not so favorite include their fish sandwich and tamales. The fish had an off taste from the oil and gave me too much of a frozen feel. I've been spoiled by Culver's fast food fish though which can't be beat. Their tamale is also an acquired taste and I've learned this is a Chicago style tamale.Side note: I absolutely love their pickled tomatoes and order a boat every time I go.

My daughter is leaving Chicago tomorrow afternoon and I insisted that she try a good Chicago hot dog or sausage before leaving. I found Superdawg and it looked like a great place that we needed to check out. I'm glad we did. We both had the Whoopskidawg, a char-broiled version of a Romanian, Hungarian, Polish sausage; BBQ sauce, and served on a Whoopskiroll™, with grilled onion and a pickle. It came with fries, which were average at best and the thing that prevented a five star review. The sausage was really tasty. I like that it cam sliced in half which made it really easy to eat. Well played Superdawg. All in all a good experience and if I find myself in the area again I would love to check out something like on the menu.
