Chicago's Best Dog - Ten Thumbs Up

by mojopo

I used to favor another dog shack until Byron's moved into my neighborhood, in Forest Park. I visit Byron's Madison Ave. location at least once a month now, because they make a perfect Chi-Town dog and the service is outstanding. I've enjoyed jumbo dogs dragged through the garden and topped with celery salt, served by people who treat me extremely well - they pay attention to every customer. Best of all, I can go in there, tie on my feed bag and eat inexpensively. I'm not a fat person, but I could be if I tried hard. They even give away free balloons to little kids. Many dog shacks use Vienna hot dogs but without the best condiments of good quality, no one can be like Byron's. I LOVE the nuclear-green relish. Visually, it's a real kick, and the tomatoes and pickles are a-plenty. Don't miss a perfect dog, served up by mid-westerners who actually like people. Go there. Thank me later.

• Pros: Delicious, fresh food, generous sizes, excellent varierty on the menu
• Cons: I wish I could go there every day but I can't. That is the only downside.

Byron's is the Best!

by JamesOtis

I am a hotdog connoisseur! I have eaten at almost every hotdog stand in Chicago and the Burbs and the best hotdog is Chicago is Byron?s. The place is small and could best be described as a ?dumpy shack,? with a lot of character. Enough about the ambiance. The hotdog is loaded with every kind of condiment you can put on a Chicago dog. And I am not talking about heaps of chili, or slices of bacon, or gooey cheese, or any other crazy west coast nonsensical idea of good hotdog (Pinks). I am talking about a Chicago dog that is stretched to the max.with tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, relish, mustard, onions and sport peppers
