I know this place is called Chicago Hamburger Co but what really shines here is their Chicago Style Hot Dogs. Hot dogs are one of my food weaknesses, I absolutely love a good hot dog and this is my hot dog spot! To top it off, it's like a 5 minute drive from my house, awesome yet dangerous.
You can never go wrong with their basic Vienna Hot Dog or their Windy City Sliders. The best part is that all of their hot dogs come with french fries so you don't even have to ask. All under $6 I might add, it's a steal of a deal! If you like a little heat or spice like me, then I would suggest ordering the Fire Dog. It's a Polish dog with cayenne peppers in the sausage. It's not too spicy where your eyes are watering but it gives the sausage a nice kick.
They used to have a "Smokey Dog" as a special item to order that was a smoked sausage with grilled onions and cheese on it which was heavenly!! It was everything you want in a sausage. I went back recently and they no longer had the item because not enough people ordered it. So, if for some magical reason it reappears on the menu, be sure to order it!! Or even better, go in and ask for it anyway, the more people ask, the better chance they bring it back! I want my Smokey Dog!!
I've also tried the Philly Cheesesteak which comes piled with beef. It was a nice change-up from my usual order and it was on special that day. Each day of the week the have a different menu item on special. Their prices are incredibly reasonable and their staff is always friendly. The parking can get hectic when it's a busy time so be prepared for that. Now...can someone bring me a hot dog?!
