What People Are Saying About Poochie's Hot Dogs

In Short – Located in the Poochie's Plaza, this dog stand wins fans of all ages. While a regular boiled Vienna Beef frank is available, the char dog stars, grilled and blackened, with a smoky flavor. A dog with everything includes relish, mustard, pickle, tomato, onions and celery salt; the staff actually refuses to put ketchup on a dog (it's un-Chicago). Fresh-cut skin-on french fries are the perfect accompaniment.

Double Char with Fries!

by jeff9d9

Best hot dog in the city - the double char is a classic. Its hard to find a good grilled dog these days. The other reviews are correct - the rest of the menu is solid too. I have had the burgers, chicken sandwich - its all good. The fries are great too. Nice and crispy, good flavor.

Pros: double char dog, the fries, the friendly service, lots of parking
Cons: its in Skokie! It can get loud here too...

Best in the North Suburbs

by bigalil51

I have been going to Poochies for many years. While most places use Scala's Italian beef, Poochies gets it's beef from a different source. The Vienna dogs as well as the burgers are prepared perfectly. The best accompaniment to any sandwich are the fantastic fresh cut french fries. With an ice cold drink, Poochies can't be beat!

Pros: good parking, plenty of seats, variety menu

The Best Dogs are in Skokie - Who knew?

by rigby113

Whoever rated Flukys on Western Ave. better than Poochies could not possibly be a native of this great hot dog city. Poochies has the best dogs around, and all orders are cooked individually, a rare luxury for a grease pit (yes thats right - there's no bin of luke warm cooked fries like at Flukys or McDonalds - they don't cook anything 'till someone orders it). I would recommend a char dog (don't ask for ketchup on it!) and the cheddar fries - pipin' hot rough cut fries with a heap of REAL cheddar cheese on them - the best!
