"Murphy’s Red Hots, a 32-year-old hot dog stand that closed in August in Lakeview, is coming back, at least for the summer. Murphy’s hot dogs will pop-up at Schubas, just down the street from the former site of the restaurant." - Ashok Selvam

My favorite place to get hot dogs. The owner and the staff are awesome and always hand craft quality dogs. The place is decked out in Chicago memorabilia and you feel like you're in someone's home. If you get a chance to make it here to get a Red Hot or anything else from the menu, you must do it, you won't regret it.

This place has the best Chicago hot dogs! Made with Vienna beef, from Chicago, and the classic poppy seed bun. It doesn't get any better than that. The hot dog has a great snap to it when biting into it and the toppings, including tomato, cucumber, sport pepper, relish, mustard (absolutely no ketchup), and celery salt, make it hard to beat! Definitely worth the visit to this little shop of yumminess!

At least I had a charred footlong before Bill closes the doors 8/18/18 and retires. After 30 years they're calling it quits. They do put out a tasty char chili cheddar red hot. I have had them bookmarked since I saw them on Chicago's Best TV. Glad I made the pilgrimage to cross them off my must try list. Good luck Bill and crew.

Small bright Chicago hotdog or polish sausage place facing Belmont. Great staff and great food at an affordable price. Get there early because they close at 9!

This place has always been my go to for a solid chardog in chicago. The service was always great and Murphy would tease me for being a Sox fan but happily make my order eventhough I was in enemy territory. The Mexican guy who makes the hotdogs has remembered me since I first stopped in 6 years ago. Its gonna be sad seeing them gone.

Excellent food and great prices. Too bad they are closing so soon. I’m glad I got to try it while it’s still open.

Super friendly service, and a nice debate about the finer points of regional hot dog styles. The dog itself was my first Chicago hot dog experience. I got it char grilled and with everything. So good! We will defintely be back to to try other sausage options, and the Italian beef.
