The Hot Rod Grill

A truly authentic Chicago hot dog stand with great prices and way above-average fries. I placed a complex delivery order via Grub-Hub, and they got all the picky details on various condiments 100% correct. The weekly special Italian beef was sopping wet with deliciousness, and a crazy great value at $3.99 with fries. Driver was 1/2 hour early, I am done eating and writing this review; the delivery time promised just arrived. Dogs, chili and gyros are all good, standard Chi-fare. Haven't tried the burgers or Mexican options. . . yet. Not trendy, per se, I think they chose an appropriate name; Hot Rod is a timeless classic.

Great fries, crazy paintings, Super Pac-Man, and outdoor seating. I give five stars because this place is a notch above all the other standard hot dog stands in Chicago.

One of my fav eat and go joints in West Ridge. I be in the neighborhood alot so this is one of my go to spots. The pizza is not gourmet by any means, but they definitely have their own style of pie. Its very good btw. The fries are probably the best in the area. Wayy better than Five Guys fries. Lovely atmosphere and the owner is hella cool. Go there and try it out. Peace out!
