Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I was totally disappointed in the meal especially after reading some of the reviews. Ordered a Chicago dog and fries. The relish looked like something made in a lab and the whole thing was quite bland. The fries although plentiful were soggy and bland as...well. Not a good place to experience a real Chicago dog. 👎🏻More

What a disappointment! They reviews were great! Was looking for a real authentic Chicago hot dog but this can’t be it! no poppy seeds on the bun! Not worth the 35 min walk we took to get here! Not worth the hype the hot dog...wasn’t any better than a red hot at ball game for a buck! Don’t waste ur time or money!More

Great place for a quick bite! Onion rings with their sauce were great! I’d recommend for a lunch or snack when you want something quick.

Went here for lunch. Hot dog was delicious. French fries were great too. Place was packed, but they were still fast. Positive experience all around.

It was good but not the "real" thing. Dogs were not Vienna beef, but decent. Prices reasonable, counter eating only. Natural fries.

Perfect Chicago dogs. Our Uber driver recommended this place when we asked about the best place to get hot dogs. He suggested we also try the sausage with elote (can't remember what it's called on the menu) and the Blue Devil (?) and they were...ALL fantastic.More

We tried our first Chicago dogs here and they were delicious!! Fresh, tasty, and served up almost before we were done ordering. They ended up becoming one of the most memorable things we ate all trip. I could eat one of these every day.

Ate here twice while on vacation. Busy place featuring only hot dogs and burgers as entrees. Perhaps the best hotdogs I ever ate. Various styles (types) of dogs (different toppings). Fries and onion rings were quite good, too. Large selection of milk shakes which looked...very appealing. I went back on another occasion and got a chocolate / peanut butter milk shake which was EXCELLENT. (I had not had a milkshake in years. Glad I do not live nearby; too much temptation.) Great for lunch or a casual dinner. Very casual and with limited seating.More

Both the Chicago Dog and the bacon cheddar dog were great. The hand cut fries were the best though and the serving was large enough for three people to split.

This was my first visit to Chicago. Devil Dawgs did not disappoint! Great tasting beef dogs with a wide variety of styles on the menu. I of course ordered a Chicago Dog and it was amazing, easily the best hot dog I’ve ever had.
