Hot dogs , fries , burgers , you name it, they’ve got it. Famous for berating their customers, you’re sure to end your night with some quality entertainment; especially if you order the Chocolate Shake . Read more

Noah Manion

It's lame to watch a bunch of Lincoln Park yuppies drop n bombs at the staff here, but if you go outside of drinking hours, you can get the best cheese fries in the city .

Michael Donovan

Service with a smile. Most polite staff you'll ever meet. Great place to take your grandma for wieners.

Food Network

Ted Allen praises The Wiener's Circle for serving up the best thing he ever ate: their famous dogs... served with a side of sass . Skip the hassle of hosting a backyard BBQ and head to the Windy City ! Read more

Dustin Haley

Great hotdogs and always quick service .

Serious Eats

Cheddar Fries : fresh-cut fries covered in glorious Merkt's cheddar . Even when the cheese gets cold, it's still good.

Jeremy Thurber

The girls have worked there for YEARS & probably make more $ than you.And they don't do that @#$% anymore UNLESS people want it. Great @ night before OR after a night out,open until 4-5a.m.Family=Day

Maddie

The hot dogs !!! Hamburgers are delicious. Fries serve waay more than 2 people. 2 adults and three hungry kids were happily fed by the French fries .

Krystal Irizarry

The people here are so nice. Just order clearly and quickly, then leave really great cash tip. Nicest staff ever. Service was quick and they called me sweetie. Awe yeah.

Dr. Thais

You know ghetto places only take cash! Put the plastic back!!! Oh & here's the menu!!! Another Oh, the fries are large enough to share :-)

Redeye Chicago

Known for Chicago-style hot dogs served with a side of sass , this latenight hot dog joint was recently the subject of a TruTV reality show. Ask for ketchup at your own risk. Read more

Allison Kaminski

Great hot dogs !! Take out of towners here and have them get a chocolate shake for $20. The look on their face will be priceless

Jesse Ditson

Perfect Chicago Dog . Pay attention, don’t customize, and keep that ketchup way the fuck away from the dog or you’ll get cussed out by the staff !

Time Out Chicago

Get your Chicago red hot with the traditional fixings—mustard, onion , neon-green relish , pickle spear, tomato , celery salt and sport peppers Read more

Noah Manion

LOVE the cheddar fries and char dogs . HATE the thinly veiled racism from the Lincoln Park bros. Have heard the n word from way too many white people here

Brettly Kawaguchi

Great Service, Great Hot Dogs , A drunk dude who wanted to light his nuts on fire, crack heads, trannys and more, all on a monday night at 1 am.....

Lucille Fisher

Excellent Chicago style hotdogs ! An institution!

Jany Wang

Oh babe ! U gonna love their chocolate milk shake ! Can't get the same anywhere else !!! Awesome !!!! Strongly recommended ! (Worthwhile $20!)

Thomas Patrick

NOT for the weak heart. You WILL get your ear chewed off, insulted... All of the above! But it's great food and a great price. Very interesting.....

Chulses MacS

Do not get cheddar on anything. The char choices are good and typical of Chicago dogs . Be ready to get insulted and the staff insists on tips. Don't make them mad.

Jake Smith

Come during the day, when the staff is too hungover to yell at you. And get it Chicago-style. Changed my world.

Social News Network

Food is average but great for late-night. It's more about the experience but be prepared when you are about to order. Don't forget to ask for a chocolate shake !!

Cheapism

This fast-food spot specializes in Chicago-style hot dogs and the best cheese fries in town . After a night of drinking, the banter is the perfect backdrop while you eat a dog. Read more

Jeremy Thurber

Hot dogs , soda , fries , maybe a milkshake"-", I love the burgers though, hands down best!

Simon K

While the staff give as good as they get, it's unfortunate that a lot of the visitors seem to think it's acceptable to use racial epithets in place of actual well thought out comedic 'sass'.

Ray Lin

Get a wiener, obviously. If you go during the day, don't be afraid, they're actually nice!

Danny Caccioppo

People don't understand this place so let me set you guys straight. It's welcomed to curse at the staff . It's kind of like their trademark.

They don’t do the abuse every night. Weekends are the times to go.

Jerry Joseph

Just a gimmick to visit once in your lifetime. Also, don’t order the chocolate shake please. Preserve women’s rights.

jake furst

only go late at night while wasted, and be sure to ask for Poochie. the more smack you talk to her, the more memorable your night will be, and the better your Chicago-style dog will taste.

Charles B

wait until your are black-out drunk and visit Poochey and crew at the finest establishment in Chicagoland. Enjoy the antics. Get cheese fries .

Emily Tolan

The burger that I had was one of the best. It literally melted in my mouth.

Jeremy Krantz

$20 chocolate "shake " will change your life. Do it.

tolu

tip, so the employees can get off welfare

Nina Cebenko

Love this place but always have someone else order for me...particularly a good looking male who knows how to sweet-talk the sisters.

Jen Hoffman

Such a fun place that you have to try if you are in Lincoln Park and looking for some late night food!!!

Late nights on weekends, you’ll find the staff at Weiner’s Circle serving up some of their signature, borderline offensive but good-humored ribbing alongside their equally famous Chicago-style dogs. Read more

Justin Rand

Get the cheddar fries , they look disgusting, but you're drunk and they taste awesome.

Faith Ryder

Get the chocolate shake . Its $20 but it's big enough for at least 4 AND it's the best shake you'll ever have!

Abbie W

I had a char dog and plain fries . Char dog was great, fries were not.

Robert H

The doorman @ B.L.U.E.S.2519 N. Halted is always hungry! Bring him a HALF order of fries and the Boss says he can let 2 people in... NO COVER CHARGE! This is not a joke!!!!! Monday...Thursday !

Brian S

Get wasted, tell other drunks you have an online pass to cut in line , order cheese fries , char dog , and a chocolate milkshake ($20, expensive but worth it.)

Colin Young

Come here if you enjoy racially-charged exploitation and abuse. The dogs are adequate, but the bad taste in your mouth will be from the customers.

Marvin Russell

Best cheese fries in the world! Always remember to get them "for here". Yes, even if your leaving, otherwise the bag they give you becomes a cheesy uneatable mess!
