Joe's Hot Dogs

"It’s a bit out of our way … but you won’t find a better tasting chili dog here on the planet! And their shoe-string fries are simply amazing! There’s a few tables outside if it’s warm out, otherwise you’ll wind up eating in your car. All part of the fun!"

"Joe's HotDog been there since 1953. For good reason. Best hotdogs, fries and onions in Illinois. Plus it's family owned and I prefer to support ma and pa restaurants. Keep up the great work"

"I’ve gone here many times over the years but I wanted my boyfriend from Chicago to give it a try. We got 8 hot dogs 2 large fries and some drinks. When we ordered the cheese dogs I assumed it was the nacho cheese like you get for the fries, but no it’s just a slice of cheese not even melted. Embarrassing. We peeled the cheese off and ate the dog but come on! Why use a slice of cheese when you have cheese sauce and could just pour some on top! Also I got chili cheese fries and was hoping it would be all together but it was on the side so we weren’t able to use the chili really considering we went to a park to eat and didn’t have anything to put the fries and sides together. Place has gone downhill in recent years. Idk if I will be back."

"Read a lot of good reviews about this spot and decided to make the trek from Chicago to check it out. Turned out to be a good move. I ended up ordering two hot dogs and one would've did me. The fries came in a small brown bag and that reminded me of a spot I used to go to for lunch back in high school. The hot dog was put together pretty good, the fries were nice, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Two hots dogs, small fry, and a Coke hit my pocket for 9 bucks and some change. Looks like is a pretty popular spot too, and one I'll hit up the next time I'm in the area."
