User Reviews for Gold Coast Dogs

I go to this place quite frequently, but will stop. I was overcharged sales tax. The polish and hot dogs are cold; plus you have to asked for ketchup for the fries which are cold as well. The service is not the greatest either.
Pros: Right across the street from work
Cons: Bad food at times, stay away from hamburgers

I used to love visiting Gold Coast Dogs, but things have changed. Today I was running an errand and saw a sign for a new (to me) Gold Coast Dogs at the train station. So I dropped by to order a char dog and an order of cheddar fries. They still call them cheddar fries, anyway, but they're not. Their fries might still be good, but instead of giving me the nice on-the-side cup of cheddar spread to dunk them in that I was expecting, they poured ladles of that horrid, crappy nacho faux-cheese sauce on them. So my fries were soggy and disgusting -- and they threw them into the bag on top of my hot dog. The wrapper and the napkins they'd put at the bottom of the bag wound up coated in faux-cheese, too. I ate my hot dog but had to pitch the fries, which were a waste of money.

God bless those of you who love char dogs, the only way to eat hotdogs. In all of the United States, the very best hotdogs are Ted's, only to be found in Buffalo, NY and Phoenix AZ ( baseball spring training thing) but those of you who love Gold Coast would love Ted's, would weep in fact. Gold Coast is undoubtedly the best char dog in Chgo ( I eat them at O'Hare and suffer on the plane); while they do a good job, they don't have the best product to "char". Fries are a little wimpy, it's true; kind of a cross between steamed and deep fried. But hey, if you can't get to Ted's, you gotta go with Gold Coast. Another really dog good place in North Chicago on the cross roads of Rockland and Waukegan. Don't remember the name but it's the only dog joint there. Stop by Pasquesi's garden store on your way back down Waukegan. Unbelievable.
Pros: Best chardog by Chgo standards
Cons: Not a Ted's caliber.

Worth your time. Char dogs are great. Note the fresh relish; different and quite tasty
Pros: char dogs, relish
Cons: none really

Come on, this place is a rip off. Again name recognition over food quality. I work downtown so, having a taste for a wiener I went to GC on the recommendation of a co worker. I got two Hot Dog's with fries and a large soda and paid $7.50. I figured that had to be wrong, it wasn't. Please visit any of the hundreds of the smaller non-chain hot dog stands in Chicago. They are much better and cheaper.

I love hot dogs, and the ones at Gold Coast Dogs have got to be the Best I've ever Had... It's almost like when I was 10 and I went to see the cubs with my dad. A must have for any dog lover.

I have eaten here quite a bit and always loved the charred hot dogs. Not many places in the city that I know of offer it. The fries are soggy but somehow, they pull it off. I wouldn't be surprised about poor service. You should never eat a cold hot dog.
Pros: char dogs
Cons: none
