Good Hot Dogs, horrible service

by JonSoleymani

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!

• Pros: Good dogs, Great late night food
• Cons: Horrible service

Funny

by NatalieL

I have never actually eaten the food from here, but I love going. Going there after a fun night at the bar is the best. I would recommend this to new comer in the city!

• Pros: Atmosphere

Best Dog and Fries in the City

by mjpirtle

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.

• Pros: Food, food, food
• Cons: Ambience

probably more fun when your drunk at 4am

by patrickhayes

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.

• Pros: if your drunk what do you care anyway?
• Cons: being treated poorly. but for somethat is a pro.

THIS IS THEE "FAMOUS" WEINER'S CIRCLE??? WHAT A DUMP!!!

by vegitoboi

There must be some mistake. How can a place like this be rated 5 stars?!?! IT'S A DUMP!!! I expected this nice CLEAN fast food place with ample seating for everyone, but NO!!! I expected THEE BEST hot dogs in Chicago with fries that were nice long "finger sized" and not overgreasy, but NO!! I expected a friendly staff, BUT NOOOOO!! The place barely fits 20 people with BROKEN STOOLS AND COUNTERTOPS and the area behind the counter looks BROKEN DOWN and barely fits 5. As for the food itself, it was LOUSY!!! First, the menu board is falling apart with missing letters and off the nails it hangs on. There are flys EVERYWHERE and the garbage "baskets" look like they haven't been washed out or changed since the place opened. The food itself was NOT FILLING AT ALL!!! It's a NORMAL hot dog either boiled or charred with the ususal Chicago style toppings, NOTHING SPECIAL!!! You'll need at least 2 double dogs to fill you up (of course that means more $). The fries are SUPER OILY and looked more like CRUMBS than actual full length fries, hense why they overfill your fry basket. As for the burgers, again NOTHING SPECIAL! Just your typical 4 oz cheddar burger (a double is available too). So...WHAT'S SO IMPRESSIVE ABOUT THIS PLACE? Out of all the hot dog places in Chicago, this was THEE WORST (BOTH IN APPEARANCE AND TASTE). I don't know how celebrities like George Clooney or anyone else can actually say they love this place. They must've been paid off to say such a thing, especially when Clooney was on Leno praising the place. Seriously, it looks like the place is about to be bulldozed to the ground. It literally looks like a shack in the parking lot between 2 buildings. And THERE IS NO BATHROOM!!! What are you supposed to do when you throwup the HORRIBLE TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH, let alone have to go; do it in the parking lot? I'm taking my business to Superdawg or Portillo's, at least their weiners are more filling.

• Pros: None
• Cons: EVERYTHING POSITIVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS PLACE IS A LIE, UNCLEAN FACILITY, RIPOFF PRICE for UNFILLING FOOD, NO BATHROOM, BUMS AND INSECTS ALL AROUND, GARBAGE OVERFLOWING, BROKEN FURNITURE

AVOID Wiener Circle

by iamhbic

The wiener's circle is a typical example of what chicago has become. If you grew up in the city you went there a few times in high school and soon realized it was a tourist trap and filled with 20 somethings who party in the city. That's all it is for. Tourists and drunks who think its cool. It was cool when I was 14. Now its just stupid.

• Pros: food tastes like everyother chicago hot dog spot
• Cons: horrible crowd, tourist trap
