You'll be scarred for life by the insults the staff slings at you (seriously, my friend remembers his first time at Weiner Circle when he was a child for less than glamorous reasons), but you'll be charmed for life when you taste one of their glorious hotdogs.

A classic late night spot in Lincoln Park -it's a party atmosphere after midnight.

If you come during the day for lunch or a regular-time dinner, you won't get yelled at as much. Just be sure NOT to order ketchup. And get the cheese fries.

Good Hot Dogs, horrible service.
I know that part of the charm of the place is the horrible service, but when they get abusive, that's not cool. The food isn't THAT good.
The food is OK, but its the experience that's fun. Just don't get it personally when the staff is rude!

Best Dog and Fries in the City. Husband and I tried this Clark St. stand, and keep going back when in the city. We've tried a few other hot dog stands, and always come back here. Their menu is very simple--not lots of confusing choices. The fresh-cut fries with cheddar on the side can't be beat, with the fries nicely browned. One order is plenty for two. The hot dogs are Vienna and perfect. I like mine charred with everything. Husband has had the burger, and reported it as very good. We've never had any problems with the staff, but as it gets later into the evening, language and manners get rough, so expect it and you'll be fine. Some inside seating on stools around the perimeter, and outside tables. The place looks quite dingy, but we've never minded. We go for the food.

probably more fun when your drunk at 4am. I've only gone here twice. It is ok. It is probably better drunk at 4am. I don't like being treated poorly so I don't say anything other than my order. They got the message and moved on to the next person. The drunks seemed to like it. If I was drunk in Wrigleyville I would stop in.
