- Marco GSeptiembre 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
- BroidySeptiembre 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 EatsAbril 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 RJulio 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 MagJulio 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 ChangSeptiembre 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 FNoviembre 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.
- EaterJulio 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
- @ShawnyP23Febrero 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 RavikumarMayo 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 MoneyJulio 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 EatsSeptiembre 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. Leer más
- Anamaria HernandezSeptiembre 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 StrasserJulio 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 HunterDiciembre 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 SullivanNoviembre 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 TribuneJunio 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! Leer más
- Jake SmithMayo 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 LBLJunio 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 JensenSeptiembre 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 BelterSeptiembre 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 SosaOctubre 14, 2013It ended up being more than an hour wait.. Worth every freakin minute.. Every hot dog was amazing #hotdougs #hotdogs #chicago #chicagocheers
- Time Out ChicagoSeptiembre 17, 2010Laden encased meats like foie gras and Sauternes duck sausage with truffle aioli, foie gras mousse and fleur de sel. For those, my friends, you still have to bide your time on the sidewalk. Leer más
- By far the best hot dog, sausage, corn dog and 3 hour line experience you'll ever have. Enjoy it while you still can.
- bunnieAgosto 28, 2013Gourmet hot dogs... foie gras + sauternes duck sausage with truffle aioli!! The smoked pork + beef knockwurst was also good.
- SJulio 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!
- Joe LunaOctubre 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 FoehseOctubre 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 HackertSeptiembre 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.Septiembre 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 FeastJunio 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 cylkowskiEnero 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 RufoMarzo 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. Leer más
- Travel ChannelDiciembre 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 TranAgosto 12, 2014Come here before they close for good! Cash only, their specialty dogs are AWESOME.
- Ricky SherrillSeptiembre 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 InternationalAgosto 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.
- Fernando SosaOctubre 14, 2013It ended up being more than an hour wait.. Worth every freakish minute.. Every hot dog was amazing #hotdougs #hotdogs #chicago #chicagocheers
- GourmetLiveSeptiembre 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 SheehanFebrero 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 BeckmanJulio 24, 2013Awesome hot dogs and sausages. Try a specialty one and either the char dog or Elvis. And, remember, cash only!!
- EpicuriousAgosto 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?
