Hey Hot Dog

"This place has the BEST Chicago style hot dog & their home made rootbeer is top tier! The owner is always kind and welcoming and the food never disappoints. A hidden gem for sure!"

"I had a taste for a hot dog and a quick Google search sent me to Hey Hot Dog. I was super excited to find that they have homemade root beer too. Having never been there before, I wasn't quite sure about ordering etiquette, but pull in, wait by the door and they will come out to you and take your order. I struck up a very nice conversation with the owner and ordered 2 chicago style dogs and a large rootbeer. I was crushed to find out that they don't take credit cards and as I was fully expecting to drive off empty handed, the owner told me to pay him back next time I was out that way. Mind you, this is a guy I knew for 5 minutes and didn't owe me a thing. I knew I was at agreat place and this kind act validated it. Root beer - my favorite root beer is Barq's root beer. It has that bite to it and doesn't have a vanilla profile. My least favorite is A&W because of the vanilla. The root beer is lightly carbonated and has a very strong, yet balanced taste of vanilla. Honestly, this is one of the very best root beers I have ever had. Hot dog - I ordered 2 chicago style Hot dogs and I really enjoyed them. They use Milano bakery buns, which if you're used to S. Rosen is a bit different but the buns are like soft pillows of goodness. The dog itself had a nice bite to it and the toppings were all excellent. I usually enjoy a pickle spear, but the pickles here are very thin sliced, which is ok because it actually made eating them a lot easier. Will I be back? Absolutely! I love supporting small family businesses and will try the Italian or Polish next time and maybe even a rootbeer float. Hey Hot Dog is not to be missed."

"Great chili dogs. Hard to beat the service. Drive up, they come to you and get your order. When they return you pay and they hand you the order. I visit regularly and have not been disappointed. Consistently high quality hot food. Friendly staff. I will be back."

"We stopped by Hey Hot Dog during a big road trip across the US. We got there just before closing and the staff were super welcoming and helpful. We had a Chicago, Chilli dog and of course their house rootbeer. The food was delicious and it was a great experience overall."
