Teddy's Red Hots

"Nothing special for downtown Chicago prcies. Beware the cashier offering upgrades like they're free. A slice of cheese is a buck alone. Adding fries to a cheese and bacon burger ends up costing $20 alone. Wonder if ketchup is locked up as they put none with the small $4 fries .fries are not made in house, will not make a drive without getting cold and have no flavor. Time is much slower than portillos and double the price apparently."

"Hot dog: 10/10. If you want a perfectly done hotdog, this place is the best. You can also add Sauerkraut! Italian Beef: 10/10. Home-made + Sweet Peppers were perfected done! They were actually sweet. Proper! Fries: 10/10. Crispy and Hot. Seems l Iike they perfectly time the fry. Onion Ring: 10/10 omg amazing!!! Sorry I don't have any pictures, will probably add as an update when I'm back. ++ Italian Ice Black Cherry: 20/10"

"I've been coming here for years. The food has been consistently great over the years. The black cherry Italian ice is always requested when there's a family gathering! You can't go wrong"

"came in and asked if I should get a beef or a burger. the friendly gentleman suggested the beef and it did not disappoint. I've been looking for a good homemade beef that could come close to my spot in Chicago and this right is on par. a darker,white thin sliced beef with good flavor is rough to find. happy I did. thank you teddy's"

"Beep; Boop Beep’s! OBC is from Downers Grove and for the better part of 15 years all I’ve heard about is Teddy’s Red Hots and their delicious fries. So within ~20 minutes of our flight landing we found ourselves here for her tastebuds to take a walk down memory lane. While I will admit, the fries and onion rings were pretty darn good, that wasn’t the jaw-dropping part of the experience. Many others have commented as to it and it gets a little more personal when you are the one forking over $19 for a side of fries, onion rings and fountain beverage. I suppose it’s all relative, the poor dude behind me (btw, he entered wealthy and exited poor) got shaken down for $55 for 3 burger and fries for his kids. I sensed he was surprised too, then they gave him the total he gasped “$55?! Holy $h!t!...” I’m not certain how much revenue Teddy lost during any sort of Covid shut down, but he’ll have made it all back in no time at this torrid pace. On the plus side, the staff was friendly, place was clean and the portions were “giant” as the menu stated; yet so were the prices. Heck, there was a steady stream of people so God bless ya, Teddy. Get it while you can, sir."
