1431 N Milwaukee Ave

Cheap, fast (with online ordering available), and conveniently located. What else can you ask for? It's a fast food spot, so adjust your expectations, but if you crave a Chicago dog (and who doesn't every once in awhile?), this is a good spot to fill your fix. The dog is fresh, piled high with all the goods, and it tastes delicious. I find their fries to be too soggy and don't love the onion rings, but the chicken tenders are very good, too. Really, though, they have dawgs in the name, I would just stick to hot dogs in the future. Bonus points for the sweet neon sign.

My partner and I were visiting Chicago and would've been remiss to not try out the local delicacy of a classic chigagan red hot hotdog. We ended up going with Devil Dawgs since we were staying in Wicker Park, and we loved it so much, we had it twice during our trip! We loved EVERYTHING we tried over the weekend, which included a classic Chicago double dog, a chili cheese dog, a Maxwell Street special (a Polish sausage, like a kielbasa), the Elvis burger (PB bacon hot sauce), and onion rings. All were the perfect late night dinner option! We also tried a hot dog elsewhere and this was still much better. Service was incredibly quick (both with dining in as well as picking up to go) and the wicker Park location had such a fun vibe - with many retro memorabilia items as well as space for dinning in. We will definitely be back next time in Chicago!

Amazing dawgs. Must have this. Cheap too. I'll be back again no doubt. I'd recommend the Big Chicago

Great location in Wicker Park (next to Taco Bell and adjacent to Supreme), busy intersection but in the middle of all the action. There is not a million styles of burgers toppings to choose but they have the essentials. I got the single with plain jane toppings and a chili dog with no cheese. The entire meal was a tad bit over $10 but the flavors were solid. These burgers are not too wide but stacked with flavors. The interior is rustic but makes you feel like you are in a barn. Parking is metered and residential is all permit. Payment is cashless but plastic is excepted with no service charge added.

Omg I love this location! The staff is great and the food is always piping hot! I got the chilli cheese dog and omg it was great! Would recommend 2-3 dogs if you're really hungry since they're pretty normal in size. The ambiance is so comfortable! Very diner vibes!

Can't leave Chicago without trying one. We ordered online for pickup. Quick and organized service. I got the Big Chicago Dawg. Beef hot dog with mustard, onion, relish, sport peppers, pickle , tomato and celery salt. Juicy & big hot dog with generous amount of toppings. Delicious and perfect to bring on your flight.

If you want a classic Chicago dog, this is the place. Freaking love it would come back again.

Great spot to get a hot dog. I shared the Chicago dog and taco dog with my partner. The Chicago dog has all the standard toppings: celery salt, mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, sports peppers. Good structure integrity as it stands up on its own.The taco dog was really good too, it's a chili cheese dog with tortilla strips and pico de gallo. There's plenty of seating and water cups are free. Food comes out reasonably fast. The bag of fries was a pretty decent portion for the price.

First time In Chicago , Wanted to try Chicago style . The hot dogs was tasty but I felt like I had better hot dogs .

While in Chicago I obviously had to try a Chicago style dog so we stopped at Devil Dawgs before heading out of town. I got the Chicago style dog and fries. The price point was average. The fries were good but nothing special. The hotdog was pretty good - I got everything on it but sport peppers due to an allergy. Although the taste is a little different I did enjoy it. There wasn't anything bad about Devil Dawgs but there wasn't anything special. If I came back to Chicago I would probably try a Chicago style dog somewhere else to compare.

We got here kinda late so they were starting to prep to close but the staff were nice and took our order but you could tell they wanted us to be quick. The entire place is covered in graffiti but it fits with the restaurant name and menu theme. I had the taco dog and it was pretty good. It came out hot and had a unique combination of toppings which I enjoyed. As far as flavor, I thought the hotdog itself was generic and the toppings were mediocre but the uniqueness made it enjoyable. We also had the bacon cheddar dog which was pretty good. The cheese was hot and melty and the bacon was crisp. My favorite part was the "whiskey battered onion rings" I found these to be a good twist on the traditional beer batter and the whiskey imparted a subtle but pleasant addition that I enjoyed. All in all, I thought the food was good but the hot dogs were not anything mind blowing. The service was ok but was definitely influenced by our late arrival.

i got the it's not a hot dog and it was phenomenal! i would definitely go back and get that again. i got a vanilla bean shake and that was also so amazing. i like that the menu has pictures. it was pretty fast service as well! i would recommend to anyone in the area for a hot dog or shake, the fries weren't salty enough but they have potential.

I stopped in Devil Dawgs for a quick bite while out walking and exploring Wicker Park. I selected the chili cheese dog, and it was very good. Everyone working there was friendly and nice. Great spot for a lunch if you're crunched for time or need to eat on the go.

chicken was aggressively mediocre in flavor, and look at the size of these strips... the service was good and the ranch was solid, but paying $11 for this + a sauce cup of coleslaw was a huge rip off given the lack of flavor. if i were to come here again... i wouldn't.

This was an overall great experience! I got the double Backyard Slider with fries and it was very flavorful and not too pricey.

This is my go to hotdog Spot! They have the best vegan Chicago style hotdogs in the city. And make sure Shoup go to this chain whenever I'm in the mood for a good vegetarian Chicago style hotdog!

I have been coming here for quite some time as their hotdogs are pretty consistent and I like them. They are a small place and move quite quickly with service so definitely be ready to order or look at the menu ahead of time. I usually get either the Chicago dog without hot peppers (bc im not too good with spice) or the chili dog which are both amazing and satisfying in different ways. I would 100% recommend this place!

Me and my girls stopped by before the Billie Eilish concert. I must say, i got the chicago dog and it was delicious and i felt satisfied after. We also got the vanilla bean milkshake and DAMN!! yum! yum! yum! Very good. Although... the fries were pretty mediocre could've definitely been seasoned better maybe some more salt or anything.

Another location of this place for hot dogs. Devil Dawgs has a few locations and this is the West Town one. It has a lot going on around here and it's full of commuters and tourists. Even if you don't want hot dogs you can still get something else. There's hamburgers, and they have a few vegan friendly styles. I got a vegan hot dog to go. It was lunch and it was pretty busy, so there was no room to dine inside. The menu is mostly hot dogs unsurprisingly. Many styles to choose from. There's of course the famous Chicago style, and many other kinds that are similar. It also has the choice to replace a hot dog sausage with a vegan one. This is good for avoiding all that nasty stuff they put into these. I had a Chi-Talian. It's about $6.50 for most hot dogs. That's kind of a lot. It at least is kind of big. There's also lots of good toppings. It's a variation of the Chicago style with a few important changes. This has cheddar, giardinera, mustard, and onions. It's vegan without any cheese. This is one of the more popular styles. Check out this location for a hot dog before going anywhere else. It has a couple other locations. The seating is pretty limited so most people get takeout.

Excellent Food! Extremely tasteful and great portions. The services was very well too. Very fast and helpful. The ambiance is good. Feels very cool, however, later In the evening things are being put away while it's still open. Overall it's a good place for a night out with friends or eating after coming from somewhere fun. I will say, the prices are a bit high for some items. A bag of fries with cheese is about $4.75 but for the portion it is a good deal. Meanwhile a plain, simple hot dog is $4.00. I don't see why a hot dog would be $4 when it taste exactly the same as any other hot dog.

First time trying their dogs and I gotta say not too shabby!! I ordered two of the Chicago dogs and I should have ordered 2 more!! The dog comes with mustard, pickle, tomato slices onions and sweet relish!! It works TRUST ME!!! Get you one or two Awh heck better make it 4, just to be safe ;)

My favorite burgers in Chicago. I wish it stayed open late like the old Lincoln park location. Perfect late night spot. 10/10

Pretty solid place. A bit expensive, but isn't everything nowadays? My husband and I ordered two dogs each, 2 fries and a shake (all very, very good by the way) and it was around $40. Still a cool place and definitely that "Portillo's quality" goodness when in the neighborhood. Service was fast and the decor was fun. LOVED the music too. Was surprised they were playing Madonna's new album - a mix of old hits and remixes.

First time here. Sliders were not good. Service was gruff and unfriendly. The whole place smelled like body odor.There was a kid working the register and eating/ talking w/ food in his mouth.

Speedy and delicious! Their tots look great so I'll be back to try them FYI They have a vegan "dawg" and a vegan patty.

Good, cheap hot dogs, cool vibe, and fast service...but also unfriendly service? We asked for water cups as we were handed our food, and the guy scoffed, turned, slapped the counter, got our water cups, slammed them down on the counter, and turned around without saying a word. Two other people there and nobody said a thing. Just not the kind of service you want everywhere. Makes it feel like a hostile situation and like they don't want you to even be there.

This review is about everything BUT hot dogs... Right place if you looking for unhealthy fast comfort food of hot dogs, burger sliders, chicken and fries! Proportion of protein is pretty heavy here! Food: The classic (spicy) - 4.5/5 - higher rating because the lettuce provides some balance with the buttermilk fried chicken breast Rooster - 4/5 - quite heavy on protein with the chicken, bacon & egg ... and comes without any veggies Bacon me happy slider - 5/5 - bacon and BBQ are good together Morning slider - 5/5 - I love egg on any burger Backyard slider - 5/5 - classic style that can't go wrong Kick ass slider - 3/5 - didn't stand out Buttermilk fried tenders - 5/5 - loved the texture; try the house sauce and awesome sauce! Ambience: Design is typical of a comfort food joint Service: Fast, friendly and efficient

Chicago Dog Bag 'o' Fries + cheese Joe's Strawberry Lemonade solid hot dog nice selection of drinks (joe tea) overpriced tragically mediocre cheese fries impersonal service all orders served to go

The vegan dog was excellent...love that you can get it any style. Tater tots were great, but the bag is huge. Will definitely stop here again next time I'm in Chicago!

I bring anyone who visits me in Chicago here to get a taste of a Chicago dog. It beats Portillo's any day. The big dogs are a little pricier, but a hundred percent worth it. If you're hesitating and think you're not hungry enough, stop thinking and just get it, you'll love it.

Popeyes chicken sandwich is better. The Clucker used to be the best chicken sandwich in the city. Now, it is a thin, dry, shadow of its former incarnation. Also, it was $6.50 before the pandemic. Today, it is $9.75. Do better, Devil Dawgs.

Hotdog was unimpressive, but how can you screw up a hotdog.. No poppy seed bun which was ok. The fries were absolutely terrible. Very nice staff though.

Good food, with some creative takes on the usual Chicago style dog. Totally on the level. I had a Blue Demons Dawg, a classic Chicago dog and a cheddar cheese dogs, and all three were very good. They have their own sauce that's difficult to describe. I think they're going for it to taste spicy but not overpowering. I liked it. Cool vibe, with big tables and good music. The guy at the counter taking orders was kind of an impatient jerk, but I was clearly a nube and didn't know what to order, so it took me a few seconds to get my stuff together, and he didn't seem to want to be very patient. Fairly inexpensive as well, for what you're getting. My three dogs and the drink were right at $20. So with the quality of the food and the wide variety of stuff on the menu to try, this place is definitely worth stopping into.

Cool spot for solid Chicago staples like dogs and polishes. Milkshakes are also on point. Fast friendly service. Parking is difficult but worth a little effort.

This is my go-to spot for late night food. I usually get the Chicago style dog, a single cheese slider, and a bag of fries with a side of cheese sauce. It's hard to hate a classic dawg with everything on it, down to the sliced tomatoes, pickle, hot peppers and celery salt. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered this combo of comfort food. Their staff is always really nice. I call-in an order and then usually pick it up 20 minutes later. If you want more beef patties on your burger, you can get a double ($4) or a triple ($5). These aren't your little White Castle-sized sliders; I eat the single ($3) like it's own hefty burger. I've also had their "Clucker" fried chicken sandwich which was also delicious. They have a variety of different hotdogs and I probably won't be tasting them all because I've found my favorite items, but if you ever want a southern slaw dog, taco dog, or hot green chile cheddar dog, you'll find it here. The "Devil Dawgs" have their own section on the menu and are made with 1/4 pound of sausage. Items range from from "Seoul Dawg" to the "Wicker Dawg." I confess I haven't tried those, but they exist for the adventurous. Come here to find old-fashioned milk shakes, hand-cut fries, and unbelievably delicious hot dogs. Devil Dawgs came into existence in 2010 in Lincoln Park and served a lot do the Depaul campus. Since then, they've expanded to South Loop and luckily for me, to Wicker Park. I'll be back again and again.

As a veg, this place is awesome. So many different options and toppings. Particular to the elotes-style dog and the New York Street Style. And the shakes are the bomb.

Showed up to the location in wicker park. It was 6:41pm and the door was locked. A brown bag with handwritten "Store closed until 6:30pm" on it made things clear. Except that I'm seeing employees inside working and the store isn't open. So the guy waves to me saying "7pm" ok. I wait. Hang out. I want Devil Dawgs. 7:03pm I'm back and the same guy is there but is ignoring me at the door. I've known and liked this place for a long time. And the high prices have made it a special occasion for me, but now it's not worth it. I can live without devil dawgs and everything to do with it. This just ticked me off the wrong way. Not worth! Go to a different food spot! Much cheaper for better service

Got the Chicago devil dawg, was disappointed. Super poorly constructed. The bun was soggy, and not even a poppy seed one. The mustard was so unevenly distributed. The only good part was the meat itself, but you can get the same Vienna beef hotdogs anywhere in Chicago. Just go to Portillo's.

I should have known this place was gonna be bad. It has the Devil on it. I thought it would be good, because brick and mortars are expensive. I expected better quality than a stand on the street. The stand on the street I'm used to is Best Wurst in Austin, so maybe that sets the bar pretty high. The skin on the dog was too thick. The cheese was fake. I just didn't like it, and felt it didn't represent Chicago dogs. It actually killed my appetite for any kind of hot dog for awhile, so I never got a real Chicago hot dog. Contemplate the tragedy of my opportunity cost, and skip Devil Dawgs.

My orders were delivered by Uber Eats, as there was a deal, so this review is solely of the food and not the service or ambience. The location we ordered from was 1.6 miles away. The Chicago Dogs arrived alright and were wrapped properly and tasted just fine. Unfortunately, the fries arrived as a soggy mess but were revived by broiling them. I blame this on the fact that I ordered delivery fries so the second time we ordered tots and onion rings but they also arrived soggy even though the top of the bag was left open. The sliders were an unmitigated disaster and 100% inedible as a sandwich. Unlike Joey Chestnut, I do not prefer buns soaked in water and crumbling like wet single ply. We immediately asked for a refund. The only part of the slider that we even attempted to eat was the beef. Considering that we ordered the condiments on the side, we still find it inexplicable that the sliders arrived in this manner. Needless to say, if we were ever to order from Devil Dogs again, which we won't, it would only be on a deal for hot dogs or maybe a sausage.

Craving for fries? Stop in here for a bucket of fries. The fries are nice and crispy and taste a bit like hot dog (probably fried in the same oil). But will certainly satisfy the need for fries.

We came for take-out during the Friend of the Devil pop-up. I've had their original chicken sandwich at Roister previously, which I enjoyed. We ordered the regular chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken sandwich, fries and the bbq corn. The chicken sandwiches were good and I'm sure they would have been crunchier if we were able to eat them immediately. Unfortunately, the fries were soggy by the time we got home. I thought the bbq corn had a bit too much spice for my liking. Overall, the food was fine. It probably would have tasted much better if we were able to eat it right after it was freshly made. Damn you, COVID!

Greasy, messy, drunk food. Came in one day of lunch as wanted something quick. Got the Good Morning Slider and the BBQ Bacon slider, with a small fry. Burgers were greasy and messy and the fries were slightly under cooked. I think if I were hungover might have enjoyed it a little more. They have a fun atmosphere inside and the prices are great, that can't be denied.

Had a quick trip to the Windy and almost left WITHOUT 'doing the dog'. What a cataclysmic mistake that would've been. With the clock ticking on our flight from Midway, I prayed to the prince-of- darkness-franks, that we would miraculously receive our Devil Dogs quickly. Beyond impressed with the variety of wicked wieners Double D offered, I ordered three hellish options: Southern slaw dog (for my sinful Southern Bell) Coney Cheese Dog and old fashioned Chicago style. All three were ghoulishly wrapped in poppy seed buns and generously littered with copious toppings. My lovely temptress fiancé commented that her slaw dog was the best wiener she ever sank her fangs into. The other two dogs made me want to go to Hades and back!! Why in hell didn't I give DD 5 Stars you ask? The Fries...Dark fries usually mean old oil... Though not terrible, I had to deduct a star for this one. Even though there are a million heavenly choices for excellent frankfurters in this city, I recommend you try this fire and brimstone hole in the wall called Devil Dogs and the best part is that you won't have to sell your soul just to pay for lunch.

Called Devil Dawgs for a reason. Be prepared to shit your brains out thirty minutes after eating here. Think they need to double check that they're handling food in a sanitary way here. Pretty sure I got staph food poisoning. Otherwise, the dog itself and milkshake were and usually are pretty good.

Ordered 2 sliders and onion rings to-go. Was given 2 hotdogs and onion rings. Only realized when I got home so I walked back and asked for my 2 sliders. Wasn't given an explanation or apology, didn't even get to keep the 2 hotdogs. The sliders didn't have all the toppings I asked for, but I didn't feel like going back twice. As for food quality, it's pretty mediocre especially for the higher price point. Would prefer fast food to be honest.

I started to give this 5 stars before my order was up. This was a destination. Obviously, vegan wasn't anywhere near what an original would taste like, but it fit my dietary restrictions and I was very grateful for the option. Also loved the chicken sandwich. I will have to come back for the others. They all looked good

Damn. When someone shows who they are believe them! After leaving a not great review I decided to give them a another chance. Sigh. It's not longer 2020 but things are still off. I had to repeat my order a few times because the young lady at the register couldn't seem to grasp what I was saying. I ordered a HOT DOG at Devil DAWGS. It could be me but....should a hot dog crunch after biting into it?? I mean damn. The bun looked old and beat up. It was a crunchy ass hot dog and my slider was cold. I'm so done. I couldn't and wouldn't complain because of fear of getting something much worse. I just took a few bites of my food and chalked it up to a valuable lesson. Also for some reason they were playing Christmas music in February. I should've taken that as a omen because.....gat Damn.

DEVILS IN THE WHITE CITY ______________________ ‡‡ review #666 ‡‡ ______________________ (A fast food feast) + [the number of the beast] = {this Wicker Park hot dog spot} Don't even think for a second it's a coincidence that my 666th review happens to be for a business aptly named Devil Dawgs. Ain't no such thing as coincidences in life. I knew it was coming, planned on going somewhere suitably satanic, here we are. Deal with my Yelp OCD. I brought Nichole C here for some greasy deliciousness last night and the overall experience was better than I could've ever hoped. The bright neon sign outside on Milwaukee Ave guided us straight into the devil's den. Although initially overwhelmed by the menu (SO many choices), eventually we settled on a trio of hot dogs, a single slider, a bag of fries, bucket of onion rings, a drink and a shake. The guy at the register comped us the fountain drink, which wasn't necessary but super appreciated. Their stuff is made to order, so it took a little while until our gargantuan dinner was ready. Once I began to dig in, I knew I'd gone died and gone straight to heaven......or the other place??? I hope they have food like this in that fiery pit down below, because it was unbelievably good. I started off with the cheddar dawg ($5.25) which came with shredded cheddar and melted cheddar cheese, topped with hot green chilies. It had a kick to it along the lines of pepperoncini. Next up was the 'Jose Caliente' dawg ($5.25), a 1/4lb spicy grilled hot dog with devil sauce, spicy pico de gallo, and cucumber slices. Most excellent. Fries are the natural fresh-cut variety, which is my preferred style. O-rings were tasty and had a nice thin coating, unlike some places that throw 1" of breading on and forget the actual onion! Nichole's chicago-style dog was up to par, as was the sloppy joe burger. Their shake selection numbers in the dozens; I could get a new shake - or malt - every week of the year and it'd take me 6 months to cycle through them all. My butterscotch milkshake ($5.75) was huge, expensive, and muy delicioso. Next time I'll try their mint chocolate. As an added bonus, they've got some catchy signs posted around the restaurant including one by the water dispenser that's quite funny. Dudes behind the counter were pretty cool, especially the one who said "the drink's on me". Others have mentioned the 10% gratuity that's automatically added to the check, and that's a bit shady, I'll admit. Since my meal here was so enjoyable, I've no problem leaving a tip now or in the future. Sinful, yes indeed. But I doubt your soul will be condemed to hell for eating here......or will it?
