Southtown Hot Dogs — Restaurant in Illinois

Great Chicago style American food. Been here twice now and havent been disappointed yet. Large helpings at really competitive prices for everything from Italian beefs, gyros, Chicago Dogs, Chili Cheese Dogs, Cheeseburgers, French fries, ice cream shakes, and sodas. Comparable to like a Portillos restaurant-type menu. Service and cook time is fast. Great for walking in and getting an order to go in under 15 minutes. Small but cozy place if you want to dine in. Sometimes it gets a little crowded with the to-go order people waiting on food. But the mid century decorations and outdoor patio are great atmosphere for dining in too. I recommend checking out the combo specials written in chalk on the wall for the best combo meal deals. Will...

I enjoy the food at Southtown and have been going there for years. They have very good hot dogs, fries, and malts and pretty good gyros and other items typical of fast food. One thing is that the service is never great and that they always screw up orders. It's never a big deal because it's usually putting the wrong ingredients on your hot dog or something and it's still good, but pretty annoying. Also, everyone seems to put ketchup on their hot dogs which is shameful at a Chicago dog...

Fast and great service but the food is nothing to write home about. The menus need to do a better job listing pricing. I thought I was reading Mandarin mixed with German.

The hot dogs have a very distinct texture! The fixings are cold and the bun is very soft. You’ll definitely enjoy the uniqueness of it but the dogs were too small. Just adding salt to the dogs and fries would probably make the meal a 8/10 instead...
