In Short
Hot dogs and pop music make an unlikely pairing in this one-room, cash-only storefront on Ashland, where a name like Justin Timberlake means a dog topped with cheese. When the mood strikes, late-night diners take turns at a stripper pole up front while they wait for their brats. The White Stripes stream into speakers, while photos of a shirtless Anthony Kedis, a mohawked Billy Idol and a docile-looking Courtney Love cover the walls.

The Vedder Dog is delicious, and a venerable tribute to one of the great voices of rock n roll. Keep the Zeppelin Dog, the Los Lobos, the Ramones, and the Tommy Lee( just because of the falic symbolism, not because his contribution to music is at all important. Get rid of the Kid Rock, Sting, and Manson dogs- these are fakes- like eating a steak this isn't 100 percent USDA prime meat. Nevada Dan chiming in.

I dig it. They are open late so that is accommodating to both late night workers and drinkers. Food was ok and i love getting little surprises with my boxed up so pretty food. They could cut the price and give you your food in a paper bag but thats just not as fun! May I suggest a special of the day at half price just to show a little gratitude and win over all the nay sayers.

From the minute you step into this hole in the wall, half the place is taken up by the stripper pole. Everything about Rockstar Dogs smacks of trying too hard. You can't simply order two hot dogs- they only sell them in meal deals so you have to get the fries and a soda for $7. Oooooh! But you get free stickers and they're named after rock bands! As though that makes up for being overpriced. Stick to Hot Doug's. At least there the gimmick is innovative meats.

The Extras:
Every order comes with fries, soda and a temporary tattoo of the 50's pin-up girl who is painted on the back wall.
Fun Fact:
All of the celebrity pics were taken by Chicago photographer Philin Phlash, whose work has been showcased at venues such as Around the Coyote and Steppenwolf Theatre.
Know Before You Go:
You might want to make that order to go since seating is limited to six stools. Foot traffic remains steady, regardless of the time of day.
