Chicago's Dog House — Restaurant in Lake View Township

If you’re looking for a place to get hot dogs, not just any hot dogs, but a variety that goes beyond the ordinary, Chicago’s Dog House is the place to be. They have everything here, from the traditional Chicago-style to gourmet creations that will make any hot dog lover’s heart race. The menu is big, colorful, and full of tempting options. But since it was my first time here, I decided to keep it simple and order their specialty: the classic Chicago Dog. And let me tell you, it was perfect.

A true Chicago-style hot dog is a work of art, and Chicago’s Dog House does it justice. It all starts with a perfectly steamed poppy seed bun that’s soft yet sturdy enough to hold all the delicious toppings. Tucked inside is a juicy, all-beef hot dog with that signature snap when you take a bite, exactly as it should be.

The toppings are where the magic happens. Bright yellow mustard is drizzled just right, adding a tangy contrast to the richness of the hot dog. A vibrant green relish, sweet and slightly tart, brings in a touch of brightness. Freshly chopped onions add a sharp, crisp bite, while slices of ripe red tomato offer a juicy freshness. A crunchy pickle spear lays perfectly along the side, giving a briny punch that balances everything out. Then come the sport peppers, small but mighty, adding just the right amount of heat to wake up your taste buds. And finally, a dash of celery salt ties everything together, enhancing each ingredient’s flavor without overpowering them.

Every bite was a perfect balance of flavors and textures, It’s the kind of bite that makes you stop and appreciate why the Chicago Dog is such an iconic creation. Now I see why Chicago’s Dog House is a must-visit. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this spot delivers a top-notch hot dog experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their...

I've placed an online order for a pickup here and received a confirmation. 25 minutes later when I was already arriving at the place I got a call from their manager saying that they couldn't complete my order because of the supplies shortage, they didn't offer me to replace some positions in the order, just stated that they are going to cancel the order. I was upset that they only managed to call me after 25 minutes when I drove all the way to their place and my order should have been ready by that time. When I asked if I needed anything to do on my side to receive the refund for the canceled order, they assured me that they will cancel the transaction themselves and I shouldn't be worried about anything. 2 days later when I noticed that the transaction was processed and there was no return, I decided to call the merchant and ask about it. The guy who picked up the phone said that he had no clue about my situation and offered me to call his colleague who wasn't on-site due to sickness or something. He gave me another guy's phone number, I dialed it, and it was out of service. When I tried to call the restaurant once again, they simply wouldn't pick up the phone from my number and never called back. That's the kind of service you should expect from this place, and this is how they treat their clients! Simply awful! Avoid this place if you care about your time, money, and good...

Never spending money there again.

I have worked in the hospitality industry for almost 15 yrs and today was a first.

When customer orders food at a restaurant, they put their confidence in the staff to provide a meal worth the dollar amount paid ESPECIALLY DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. The common standard for any cook is to not serve anything you yourself wouldn't eat.

To be fair, I didnt walk in expecting michelin star type food but just a basic hotdog fast food standard. Well apparently the cook's standard is lower here.

One of the cooks said "eww" while cooking my food. Why would you, as a person who prepares food for a living, ever in your rightmind say "eww" in front of a paying customer? When I turned over to see, he looked me and started giggling and whispering to the cashier while in front of the grill.

I grabbed my food and left, only to realize three steps out the door that I was missing fries. When i returned to tell them that I ordered fries, they told me that they we in the bag, only for them to have put them in a separate bag and forgotten to hand them to me.

I don't know what happened to my sandwiches that caused him to say "ewww".

What I do know is that Im not going to eat something that can potentially make me sick even after I just wasted $35+ dollars to support small business.

Right...
