The Dog Stop

I'll make this quick:food was mediocre, even though I was starving. Typically, when I'm really hungry the food is more satisfying, but it was just ok: middle of the road. What it WAS though, was EXPENSIVE. Me and my wife were hungry, late, one night. Went through the drive thru, ordered, paid at the window, and waited for the food. When it was time for the food, I was handed a bad and 1 drink. I asked about the other drink and that's when they realize they gave me the incorrect order. That was no problem, mistakes happen. The problem was the extra time i had to wait and the adjustment in price. A mistake is a mistake but there are ways to make it right. We waited twice as long to get our food and then when it came they opened the window and told me there was an adjusted price (more than what I paid originally.) Overall, this place just wasn't worth the hassle. I'd skip it.

Bad first experience. We've lived around the area and always passed by the place and finally said, why not and try it out since it's close by.Ordered a small order. Waited 18 mins wondering what is taking so long. There was really no other customers inside or at the drive thru. We asked what's taking so long and they asked 'what did you order?' Like what... and they said no one started on our order. Then they said they had a big order being made for someone that's why there was a confusion. Would've been 1 star for bad first experience but understand there was a big order being made but come on...all those workers, 1 could've at least started on our order. Might come back to try again but not likely. Will update rating once we go again.

I went to get a haircut across the street & stopped in @ The Dog Stop. It's been years since I stopped by here. They have a decent Vienna hot dog w fries for $5.00. They have a large selection of fast food options. Good place to grab a quick inexpensive meal

Long day so decided to stop at The Dog Stop! I went there during my college days long ago. Since moved far away ... My sister got an egg pepper sandwich as did I plus a tamale ! She said the tamale was supper My daughter had a Maxwell and fries which she enjoyed They had two ways to make polish sausage sandwiches .,, the other was Chicago styleThe egg sandwich was a little bland but ok ... the cream of spinach soup was a bit salty but nice amount of spinach .., The menu has a wide variety of items to chose from ! Keep this business going it a nice stop I'll get a hot dog in the future many choices too!

The hot dog of the month-BLT is one of the best hot dogs I've had! I kept saying wow while eating it. The bacon jam on a brioche bun with lettuce and tomato was amazing. It's a must try while you can!The spicy crispy chicken sandwich is one of our absolute favorites to get! It's amazing!

Thank you for being the best vegetarian hot dog in the city! And WOW the fries on top of the hot dog are so perfectly salty - it's amazing that this place offers such a high quality vegetarian Chicago dog.Yelp states $0 delivery fee, however Grubhub charges a $2.99 delivery fee on all orders.

The dog stop is a great local hot dog joint that serves your typical hot dogs and beefs. I was craving both so I ordered one of each. My son ordered their chili cheese dog. The dog was great. They use a poppy seed bun, and then your regular fixings. The dog itself had a nice snap to it and they used fresh pickles and tomato wedges. You also get fries with your hot dog. Just regular frozen fries, nothing special. I ordered their beef dipped and with hot peppers. A decent sized sandwich and loaded with beef. The meat was seasoned well and it came with plenty of peppers. The bread didn't hold up and broke half way through but it was still a decent Italian beef. Not even close to the being the best in the city but it what is was supposed to.

The dog is nothing special - at least the one I had - but it wasn't bad, and the fries are definitely worth the visit. I ordered a dog and a large order of fries not realizing this place was old school and includes fries wrapped up in the wax paper with the dog, so it was a lot of food but a lot of good food. Haven't tried anything else on the menu. I'd imagine it's on par with the dogs.Good spot if you're in a bind, close by, and craving a hot dog

The more I visit here, the more I realize I think I was underrating this place in the past. Not sure why, but oddly I did. That all said, their dogs of the month usually can be pretty decent. Such as the one for January 2022. I forget the name of it, but it's one with pork, bacon, and onions in it. I didn't think it would be anywhere near as good as it was, but it really was! I'll actually be slightly sad when January ends and that one disappears from their menu, but I'm sure their next monthly dog will be good as well.To me this isn't my favorite ever hot dog stand in Chicago, but it isn't too bad if you ask me. And I like the fact that for this area(when few places are ever open late), that they do have late night hours. Which post-COVID is till 1am every day, though I miss when they used to close at 2am on certain days. Their tuna melt isn't too bad, either.I think if it wasn't for their monthly dogs being good, I'd only give 3 stars. And the place to me was kinda like a 3.5 star, in my book. Since in some ways I wish certain things were slightly better, such as their fries. That said they do have some surprisingly good monthly dogs at times here, so I'll round up to 4 stars. And the employees have always been pretty nice to me, too. I can see why this place is popular with cops to eat at, lol.

Personally I love the gyro the hot dog and fries the shrimp basket and the burger meal if I'm hungry it's the neighborhood spot I go to. I recommend it.
