Italian beef sandwiches, hot dogs, and ice cream treats
"This classic Hazel Park snack stand serves Matt and Mo’s Italian beef sandwiches alongside creamy chocolate and vanilla soft serve in cones, sundaes, cookie sandwiches, and Dougies — a cup of soft serve that’s swirled with your choice of candy bits. Check out the chalkboard out front for the soft serve flavor of the day, with exciting options like peanut butter or espresso and cream twist to name a few. There are even pup cups topped with milk bones available for dogs." - Will Reaume
"Super creamy soft-serve is made in-house, alongside chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream-filled cream puffs. There’s even an off-menu ice cream with a dog treat available for pups. Doug’s sources hard ice cream from local favorite Guernsey Dairy with special flavors like Grandpa’s Blueberry Way (blueberry ice cream infused with real blueberries and pomegranate seeds, and dark chocolate flakes). To eat, try Matt & Mo’s Italian Beef, made by an Italian from Chicago, situated inside the ice cream shop." - Courtney Burk
"Chef James Rigato and pastry chef Kristina Conger teamed up to revive this John R. Road snack shack. The seasonal neighborhood hangout serves fun, lowbrow foods with subtle upgrades. Think: hot dogs with housemade kimchi or sauerkraut and Guernsey ice cream smashed between fresh cookies and cream puffs." - Eater Staff
"Ice cream and snack stand Doug’s Delight was awakened from dormancy in 2018 by the team from Mabel Gray. The seasonal Hazel Park restaurant opens from late-spring through early fall (check hours before visiting) with a wide array of treats including cookie ice cream sandwiches, cream puffs, milkshakes, and several styles of hot dog. The Dearborn brand sausages here are dressed up with options like house kimchi and sauerkraut. There’s also a classic Chicago dog and, of course, a coney made with National Coney Island chili." - Brenna Houck
"Three and a half years after beloved Hazel Park snack shack Doug’s Delight closed its doors, the casual ice cream and hot dog spot is reopening to the public this month with a menu tailored by Mabel Gray chefs James Rigato and Kristina Conger. The restaurant, which began opening on weekends in early April, is poised to debut five days a week beginning Wednesday, April 25, with a lineup of sweets and lowbrow snacks that Rigato has lovingly described as “bowling alley chic” food." - Brenna Houck
