- Marco GSeptember 6, 2014Order in a tapas style if you go with a big group. Duck fat fries are a must however the Foie Gras isn't for everyone. The Dog and Bo Derek were my fav along with the special BBQ Dog
- BroidySeptember 13, 2013Went on Thursday at noon and only had a 5 minute wait. Get the foie gras duck sausage! The jalapeño one was great too. If eating in, no need to wait at the counter, they'll come around and find you.
- Serious EatsApril 26, 2013Hot Doug's might be the best sausage shop in America, so plan accordingly. Show up early, enjoy the wait, and look forward to chatting with Doug about your encased meat of choice.
- Don RJuli 29, 2013Quite possibly the most fun dining experience I've had in years. Fun atmosphere, service and the food is unbelievably tasty. The Chicago Hot Dog and the Fois Gras dog were both amazingly delicious!
- Men's Health MagJuli 10, 2012Order a foie gras and sauternes duck sausage with truffle aioli, foie gras mousse, and fleur de sel. The result is a meaty, creamy, rich blast of flavor that never disappoints. It's a cult classic.

- Sarah ChangSeptember 23, 2014Big fan of the Everything on the normal dogs. Celebrity special and foie gras also quite good. Come at 9:30 and save yourself 2 hours in the line
- Jennifer FNovember 2, 2012Absolutely worth waiting in line... Fantastic Service & Amazing Food! (Not sure what topping to add to your sausage? Ask Doug! He won't steer you wrong!) This is now my favorite place in Chicago.
- EaterJuli 9, 2013There's little doubt that Hot Doug's is the preeminent hot dog and "sausage superstore" in Chicago, perhaps even the country and world. [Eater 38 Member]
- Without a doubt, the best hot dog spot in Chicago =) my faves are the Anna Kendrick (fire dog, nice & spicy) & the Elvis (best polish sausage EVER) I promise you won't regret waiting if there's a line
- @ShawnyP23Februari 16, 2013Incomparable hot dog and sausage quality. Some of the best this country has to offer. Well worth the wait, experience it yourself!!! A+ 10/10
- Raksha RavikumarMei 17, 2014I spent 4 hrs of my life on Hot Doug's and regret nothing even though it was 37 degrees in May. L: grilled Paul Simonon w/Portuguese Linguiça toppings. R: fried/grilled Paul Simonon w/everything.
- Joseph MoneyJuli 21, 2014Fantastic hot dogs! But they close for good on October 3rd, so don't miss them. Get there well before they open, you can wait multiple hours to get seated if you wait until midday to arrive.
- Serious EatsSeptember 26, 2011Order Duck Fat Fries. They are only served on Fridays and Saturdays and people line up for hours to get them.The distinct flavor of the duck fat adds a dimension to the starch of the fresh potatoes. Baca selanjutnya
- Anamaria HernandezSeptember 21, 2014Tried 6 and I recommend the Foie Gras, the Alligator, and the Rattlesnake. 6 hot dogs cut in 2 worked well for 2 hungry girls.
- If you were ever to make a pilgrimage for encased meats & fries fried in rendered duck fat, this is the Mecca. Come hungry & definitely be ready to wait in line. Cash only, friends.
- David StrasserJuli 4, 2014Without a doubt one of Chicago's best and most unique restaurants. Wait in the line and order more than you think you need.
- Dianna HunterDesember 6, 2011BEST in the city. Great staff & unreal menur. Rattlesnake anyone? I've heard fabulous things about the duck-fat fries. My big thrill is that they have Tater-Tots! Doug, himself, is a great guy too!
- Kelli SullivanNovember 17, 2013The hype is real. Make sure you take advantage of the samples. Although there is most likely to be a line, it is worth the wait. A must-do for a Chicagoan.
- Foie gras dog. Try it at least once, so rich and decadent. Always get a corn dog on the side, at that price you can't beat it. If you go right as they open on a week day, no line!

- Chicago TribuneJuni 26, 2012With up to 18 choices offered on any given day, deciding can be daunting. Options include rabbit, boar, pheasant, duck and kangaroo -- as well as your basic char dog and polish. Add duck fat fries! Baca selanjutnya
- Jake SmithMei 6, 2013Trust me: You're not ready to order when you get to the door. You think you're ready, but then you see the 10 various specials of the day and you have to start thinking all over again.
- RCRD LBLJuni 29, 2011When we're in town for a show or festival, we always make sure to stop by this encased meat joint (try to be here on Friday or Saturday for the duck fat fries). Best dogs in the city.
- Dana JensenSeptember 29, 2014Last day. Ordered 8 different things with my lunch partner. Loved 5, liked 2, only 1 that I didn't enjoy. Those are some good odds. Glad we made the trek/wait before it closes at the end of the week.
- Andrea BelterSeptember 29, 2010AMAZING!! Got a classic Chicago dog and the lamb sausage, both were delicious! Duck fat fries are worth getting for sure. Also, they have green river and dog n suds pop. What more could you want?
- Fernando SosaOktober 14, 2013It ended up being more than an hour wait.. Worth every freakin minute.. Every hot dog was amazing #hotdougs #hotdogs #chicago #chicagocheers

- By far the best hot dog, sausage, corn dog and 3 hour line experience you'll ever have. Enjoy it while you still can.
- bunnieAgustus 28, 2013Gourmet hot dogs... foie gras + sauternes duck sausage with truffle aioli!! The smoked pork + beef knockwurst was also good.
- SJuli 7, 2013The normal hot dog was fine but get the specialty dogs. Also, I think the duck fat fries were not as great as the tips suggest. Get an extra specialty dog instead of the fries!
- Dan OJuli 4, 2011Serious sausage joint. Always changing daily specials. He uses meats that are rare, but taste awesome. Check out the website daily. They close @ 430 everyday and the line is down the block, but worth Baca selanjutnya
- Joe LunaOktober 16, 2012Can't go wrong with this place. As a New Yorker it's hard for me to admit it, but this is by far way better than Nathan's in Coney Island
- Michael FoehseOktober 16, 2012Just relax and let the sausage pick you. Amazing what these guys can do with encased meats. A Chi-Town must that is worth the wait!
- Stephen HackertSeptember 12, 2013Simply awesome hot dogs beware they will be closed 9/23/2013---10/08/2013 get your duck fat deep fried French fries before they go on vacation !!!
- Mark M.September 8, 2012The wait in the line is not bad with great weather... The foie gras hotdog is simply the best and the duck fried fries is just sensational!
- The FeastJuni 9, 2011Chicago is known for its hot dogs, but Hot Doug's is a cult classic known for its "encased meats." The only hot dog stand that generates lines year-round for delicious meats and duck fat fries.
- nicole cylkowskiJanuari 23, 2013Duck fat fries are amazing!! Love the Foie gras hot dog and The Atomic Bomb is not for those afraid of a little heat... love this place!
- Diego RufoMaret 29, 2011you've got to at least attempt some of the more adventurous menu items such as Foie Gras and Sauternes Duck Sausage with Truffle Aioli, or the duck fat fries on Fri. and Sat. Baca selanjutnya
- Travel ChannelDesember 7, 2010If you want a more “exotic” hot dog, come here for hot dogs made with rattlesnake or kangaroo. Try the "Mountain Man," a sausage made of antelope, elk, buffalo and reindeer meat.
- Polo TranAgustus 12, 2014Come here before they close for good! Cash only, their specialty dogs are AWESOME.
- Ricky SherrillSeptember 27, 2014The "Duck Fat" fries are a must. Can't go wrong with the special dog of the day.
- Duck sausage w/foie gras. Freaking yum. Best fountain pop: coke, cherry coke, root beer and pib! Ive had luck w/min-no line around 230-3 on weekdays. Don't forget cash!
- Ghostly InternationalAgustus 8, 2011More than just hot dogs. Rare wild game, intensely flavorful encased meats and toppings. Fridays and Saturdays for duck fat french fries, and get one of the specials. Awesome.

- GourmetLiveSeptember 2, 2011Food blogger Jessica Ashley says, “Whatever delicious hot dog or sausage you choose, be sure to get a side of duck–fat fries and say hello to Doug at the counter.”
- Michael SheehanFebruari 28, 2012We hit this place at noon on a Tuesday and zipped through. BTW, listen to the people at the counter. They know what's the best way to have your sausage.
- Suzanne BeckmanJuli 24, 2013Awesome hot dogs and sausages. Try a specialty one and either the char dog or Elvis. And, remember, cash only!!
- EpicuriousAgustus 24, 2010Sure, you could order a classic beef frank with relish, but with odd, intriguing menu items like goji-berry pheasant sausage with jerk mayonnaise & cheese-stuffed sweet peppers, how could you resist?
