Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery — Restaurant in Los Alamitos

Can Mustard's "cut the mustard"? Yes, they can!

I like hot dogs like I do my burgers - dragged through the garden. Give me all the onions, tomatoes, pickles & other accoutrement you can put on them. Mustard's has been bookmarked by me for a long while, and the occasion popped up where a visit was what was in order.

Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery has all the trappings of a donut shop (donuts, coffee drinks, smoothies, sandwiches). But, the main draw is their Chicago menu, complete with beer & wine. Knowing a Chicago dog was a must, I also ordered an Italian beef to make sure I didn't leave hungry.

Char-broiled Chicago dog- Made with a Vienna Beef dog inside a poppy seed bun, topped with pickle, tomatoes, onions, hot sport peppers, mustard, celery salt & neon green relish. Good dog! Never been to Chicago, but I believe Mustard's Chicago dog is a good facsimile, thereof.

Italian beef- The highlight for me, especially with the giardiniera (ask for it). Had a difficult time choosing this or their Philly cheesesteak, but happy with my decision. Mustard's Italian beef had some heft to it, and I enjoyed every bite of the sumptuous sandwich. Dipping into the au jus at first, I later doused the sandwich into the stuff, making sure to sop up any au jus left on the wax paper, just so nothing goes to waste. Delicious!

Service was good. The staff were friendly, and the wait was minimal. Ample seating inside, including tables which have a checkers board on them, for dining entertainment. The decor has Chicago memorabilia on the walls, and a TV to view the latest ball game. Parking is via a private lot, located in the Maderas Steakhouse plaza.

Fuhgeddaboutit! I'm looking forward to ordering the Philly Cheesesteak, next time. Mustard's Chicago Style Eatery appeased my appetite, and I enjoyed the characteristically unpretentious atmosphere. Gives character, in my opinion. Unlike a sterile franchise restaurant that has a rewards program w/ an app. The Chicago Dog & Italian beef warmed my tum-tum, and I'm salivating just thinking about a juicy Philly...

Husband and I have been coming here for years and we love that it is so close to home. (support your local business, especially during these times).

Please adhere to covid-19 guidelines. Masks are required. We need Mustard's and Mustard's need us.

Service is always awesome here so it is most definitely appreciated.

Anyway today we ordered the Chicago Works (hotdog with everything- onions, tomatoes, pickled green relish, pickle spear, sport peppers, mustard) Just like the ones in Chicago! So good! The only thing missing is a Cubs game at Wrigley's.

And we split another dog with sauerkraut and everything. And the fried zucchini pairs well with the dogs.

Donuts. don't forget to pick up a few donuts. We like the plain donuts and crumb. But they also have to fancy ones like red velvet donut and maple bacon bar. yum.

Order big and tip big. Help our local businesses survive. and remember...

The reason mustards has changed for the worst is because the new owners who bought the shop about 2 and 1/2 years ago or three years ago didn’t not respect the past and they put in lotto ticket machines and donuts. I get making it your own but when it so suppose to be about Chicago hot dogs and Sports and has built in customers and you do not Alienate them or the military which I would say there quite often And handful of times I haven’t seen them and one of the things that I miss because I have been going there for years is the previous lady who I believe was the owner was so much more welcoming to guests. I have went a few times over the past three years but there seems to be no passion from the owners and like a previous post said it looks more like a mini mart or 24 hour drive...
