I've been coming here for about 15-20 years. I used to alternate between here and Mr. Mort's until Mr. Mort died. Now I eat all my hot dogs here. Hildy is just the best. The dogs are authentic (and I am from Chicago). My health concious kids will only eat the turkey sandwiches which are not bad. I've had the Italian beef several times and it is excellent. The fries are cooked just right. My only criticism would be that the drinks are loaded with crushed ice. I think you can get free refills but I have always been too embarrassed to ask. The outdoor seating (3 tables) is dog friendly too!
