If Maxwell's doesn't scream Chicago I don't know what does. I have never had cravings for a food like I have for their polishes. There's nothing like a late night ride to the city for a greasy ball of fries and a charred polish with the most flavorful grilled onions - IN THE WORLD...and no I'm not over exaggerating. I'm as serious as the heart attack you may encounter after downing some of the delectable items that grace the menu at Maxwell's. I wasn't even turned off when I went there to cure a late night craving and I found a bum with one bloody eye picking through the garbage and eating left overs. I can't even blame the guy...the food is that damn good. So next time your riding down 290 and you are wondering what is missing in your life...stop in at Maxwell's and you'll soon find out.
Review Source:I'm from California, but even I know wsup about inner-city Chicago DOGS
I was tempted to buy a hotdog from a food cart at Millenium park, but let's be real here.... you can't settle for less ESPECIALLY when you're from out of town. GOTTA GET IN if you want the GOOD STUFF NAM SAYING!?
My buddies and I drove 40 minutes into the city from the hotel we were staying at for the mofrigGIN MAXWELLS
Got there around 2AM... Soon as I get there, I see the hot dog man hollering at some female customer ordering from the window, and another drunken chick walking around barefoot. Stand in line for my dog, barefooted drunken chick moves in front of me and hollers at none other than... yes, me... Your friendly Californian Asian. HAHA
I let her order before me and another girl starts shouting "FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT!" as she receives her hotdog n fries. I yell "COME ON!" because I'm a pentecostal Christian like that and I know WSUP! Alla SUDDEN I GOT TWO ladies hollering at me and the hotdog man is IMPRESSED -- "IS THEY REALLY WITH YOU?" he asks. HAHAAH i TOSS MY HEAD BACK AND LAUGHHH
ASIAN MAN GOT GAME? PRAISE THE LAWWWDDDD
ANYWAYS
I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I PAID FOR IT BUT IT WAS LESS THAN $5. I GOT FRIES, A GREASY ASS POLISH DOG WITH GRILLED ONIONS N SPORT PEPPERS, AND A BIG O BOTTLE A WATER. FOR LESS THAN $5
MY BAD CHICAGO. MY FRIGGIN BAD.
What can you get for less than $5 these days? A car wash? A tooth brush? A blended drink from starbucks?
TO PUT IT SHORT, NOT MUCH!... LET ALONE A GREASY ASS HOT DOG WITH THE GOODS AT 2AM IN THE MORNING WITH LADIES HOLLERING AT YOU LEFT AND RIGHT (LITERALLY)
I LOVE YOU MAXWELLS
A CHICAGO-NATIVE WARNED ME ABOUT THE DIARRHEA IN THE MORNING. SHE WASNT WRONG
BUT THOSE 15 MINUTES IN THE BATHROOM WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY
EAT MAXWELLS.
YOLO! YOL--MOFRIGGIN--O!
UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IN THE FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT! HALLELUJAH!
GET ITTTTTT
