The Dog House

Must try.  New owner back to Vienna Beef dogs.  A great neighborhood joint.  Better hours.  Just try it. If you like hot dogs you will enjoy.  Chili is good and I get the chili dogs or the chili boat

Been a fan of this place for years and years. A Real Chicago hot dog joint in the best  way. Go get your self a Hot Dog and a Tamale and in heaven you will be. Hothing fancy limited menu but all the charm of a Chicago neighborhood treasure.

I don't claim to be a professor of hot dogs, but i have had quite a few in my day. Most people probably think all hot dogs, polish's, coneys  and such are the same where ever you go. Well they are dead wrong i have had many days ruined by a bad meal on a bun.

I have been past this tiny little shack of wiener wisdom many times before stopping in today for lunch. I had a  bad craving for a couple of Chicago style polish's and decided today i would give The Dog House there first chance. God damn am i glad i did.

I walked up on a rainy afternoon eyed the menu, and was already happy one side dogs and polish and the other side tamales. Keep it simple.

The two guys working inside the place just big enough to fit them and there tools of cased meats were not only a couple of true Chicago guys they shared a true love of there craft and pure customer service. The older of the two told me it would be four minutes since they cook each  one when ordered, and then talked a great hot dog talk while i waited.

Now finally the only thing that matters the product. What i got were two plump polish dogs with not only all the trimmings, but fresh veggies on it in all the right amounts. The younger guy even topped off my Coke since i had drank a bit of it while shooting shop talk.

Great job The Dog House!!!
