One word, superdawg! RIP Morie and God bless. One of the few Chicago styles to use their own frank formula and pickled tomatoes . Great and the packaging is second to none.

Xavier

Perfect! All you will wish on a meal its coming in a sausage form!!! To put everything down a chocomilk with malt , Love it. In picture superdawg and whoopskidawg amazing!

Eater

The special Superdawg proprietary all-beef sausage is perfectly complimented by pickled tomatoes . This is a unique Chicago experience that will never be duplicated. Read more

Erik Rowley

A place of culinary legend, truly a vintage experience. In operation since 1948 and you can still dine in your car. The greatest hot dog on earth comes neatly wrapped in a box, fries and all.

Gloria Chin

drive-in that delivers !! super bugers , thick malt shakes , super sundaes . hot dogs come w/ crunchy crinkle-cut fries under the chicago-style hot dog which comes w/ a pickled green tomato (not red!)

Bill Peeler

Classic drive-in for a classic Chicago dog . Cheeseburgers are awesome as well . Also, apparently, John Hughes featured Superdawg in some way in each of his movies . This place really is an institution.

Paul Suwan

Do press the button on the left when you're ready to order, but don't flick the switch on the right. The lady inside probably won't be pleased.

Stacy Bo Bacy

The wait is long. The hot dogs lack the “good snap.” The homemade cheese sauce has too much flour. The drive-in is cute though and I enjoy the burger actually.

Absolute classic. Great place to bring the family. Kids love it!

Timothy Appnel

Everything is great -- Chicago-style hot dogs , super cheesies (burgers ), super (fried) veggies and shakes .

Lisa W

Some of the best fries in the city , and who doesn't love a perfect hot dog nestled into a special little box? Strawberry shake is amazing. Also the burgers are really solid. A Chicago classic.

Jake Smith

If you don't like hot dogs , this drive-in's burgers , fries , and shakes are also excellent. In my honest opinion, you're making a mistake if you don't order the onion chips .

Chicago Tribune

Besides the Superdawg and Whoopercheesie, specialties include shakes , malts , black cows, onion chips , and super veggies . The restaurant is walk in and take-out; a few picnic tables outside . Read more

Good food, great place I have been eating their since I was a kid... Its just gotten to $$$$ for a local joint

Nancy

Amazing! Get the dawg just the way they serve it on the menu. The pickle adds great crunch and flavor...but boy is it messy to eat. Malted milkshake fantastic too.

Katie L.

LEGENDARY! Best dogs in Chicago! Great burgers and milkshakes too.

Fran Allen

There's always argument about the best hotdogs in Chicago but super dog is one if not the best. It has a worldwide reputation

Evan[Bu]

Get a Superdawg with a Hi-C drink! And don't you even think about putting ketchup on that dog! It's apparently illegal within Chicago city limits!

Time Out Chicago Kids

Visit this retro drive-in for carhop service of Whoopskidawgs (sausage and grilled onions and a pickle ) to your window--both locations are open until 1am Sunday-Thursday and 2am Friday and Saturday.

Hudson Sutler

It’s a super casual and classic experience that’s hard to find anymore. Pull up, order, and eat this classic American food . Read more

David

Whoopsiedawg is tasty and different from a standard Chicago style dog. Fries are tasty too!

Soktheary Nak

SUPERDAWG with everything including hot peppers , and don't you dare put any ketchup ! You get your order super fast too!

MasterCard

You may be eating in, but order your food to “Go Cubs Go.” Fans that say “go Cubs go” get a free soft drink at SuperDawgs in May on the day of any Cubs win.

Melissa Kane

Classic hot dogs . Their milkshakes are the best!

Pam Miller

Very delicious. Old time signage. The vintage atmosphere is what makes this place stand out.

Christopher Floss

Amazing hot dogs and fries ! Truly a northwest side gem for american comfort food !

Mike Pietrusinski

Drive in with fantastic food that's been a part of the fabric of Chicago for many years

Abena Afriyie

Now you can save $2.50 if you buy a sandwich without the fries ! Yes, I like 2 superdawgs and one order of fries :-)!

Serious Eats

Classic drive-in, with beefy mammoth dog. Crinkle cut "superfries" come with every order.

DJ Mani Miglani

Suburban fam especially those in the know with Tha Werd and House of Godz, they run Wheeling too is it Maurie or Laurie? Either way 1948 true story!

Chicago dog in a box with fries , made fresh while you stand there. Family loved it!

Rob DaBoom

In operation since 1948, this is a must to visit while in Chicago. Try the classic chicago style hot dog !

ᴡ Bowman

You must try this place if you are in the area. Try a superdawg and a supercheesie so you have the best of both worlds.

Superdawg, which has been in business since 1948, sports two curiously dressed , 12-foot winking weenies on its roof (named Maurie and Flaurie after the owners), and provides car-hop service. Read more

Whoopskidog. (Tasty Polish w/"secret sauce," similar to BBQ .)

In for another treat at #Superdawg on #Chicago's northwest side. The best #hotdog in the area.

This beloved Chicago drive-in is like a blast from the past. The rooftop figures of ‘Superdawg’ (in a Tarzan suit) and his lady companion have been winking at patrons since the 1940s. Read more

This is in the book "1,000 places to see before you die." Waitresses deliver food to your car, 50s drive-in style. Very cute and the hot dog and fries are great.
