Dockside Dogs

We ALWAYS take our boat over to waukegan harbor to come get dogs and beef sandwichs. This place is excellent. They are always very very friendly and accomodating because we always bring a large group with us. I love their pickles especially.

I participated in the Chicago - Waukegan - Chicago regatta and by the time I was ready to eat, the grill at the Waukegan Yacht Club was closed.  My Yelp app told me the nearest eatery was Dockside Dogs, and I was pretty excited as I hadn't had a good dog this summer yet.

After taking the short walk I found the lil shack that is Dockside Dogs.  This flared my excitement even more, but as I waited in line my excitement subsided.

I realized they weren't actually cooking the food to order.  So I opted not to get a dog.  I got a cheesburger (which was reheated in the microwave) and a Frito Pie.

I was explained that a Frito Pie was a bag of Fritos with chili and nacho cheese.  That sounded pretty yummy to me; and it sure was.  That alone made the trip, but again, I was extremely let down.

Truly a dockside adventure on Lake Michigan.  I truly enjoyed my wisconson brat sitting outside watching the boats come in.  The one window service is quick and helpful.  CASH ONLY but the prices are really low so not a worry.

I would definitely take this adventure again.
