Vienna Beef Factory Store & Cafe

Barely snuck in to peek into try planting a seed. It's my understanding that Vienna Beef was the first to certify with the United States of Agriculture as safe to manufacture foods!

First time here and my expectations exceeded to the fullest. Hot dogs are of great quality, taste, and the condiments are just right. This place is a one of kind restaurant! Will definitely return and try other items on the menu.

I've been to Chicago many times and can't believe I didn't try this place until now! Not only is it a great place to try a true "Chicago Dog" or "Polish Sausage" but it is also a deli that offer sandwiches such as corned beef and pastrami. They also have refrigerated packages of the dogs, sausages, emerald green relish etc. for sale. The location has a spacious area with tables when enjoying your meal onsite. I have also noticed during my Chicago travels that Vienna Beef supplies many many of other establishments with their quality dogs and sausages.

What an odd little hidden gem. This location is a mix of factory, deli, restaurant, merch store, and museum. There's a deli counter that sells all their sausages (including the ones they sell at Wrigley), meat sticks, lunch meat, and tamales, plus all the stuff you need to go with it like condiments and pickles and buns. They also have bulk freezers, in case you need a 5 gallon bucket of roast beef. There's a little display with tourist-y type merchandise like posters, t-shirts, and golf club covers. There's a history museum part somewhere, but we didn't check it out. Then there's a food counter which serves up all the sausages and sandwiches. It's a bit unorganized, as there's no signs telling you where to order. This results in the cashier yelling at you and pointing vaguely until you finally find the right person. Most unpleasant. But the hot dogs, dragged through the garden of course, were most pleasant.

Some parking available in front. Did not try any hotdogs. We were there to see the museum. We were told we need to reserve online before coming. Did not know about this and this information was not on the website when I looked. Don't see the point of driving all the way to just have hotdogs here as you can get the same all over Chicago.

Best hot dog I've had in Chicago. Friendly, fast service. Exactly what you would expect of a Chicago style dog. A must have anytime I'm in Chicago.

I had the 'Chicago Dog'. Yesss I'm from Chicago and truthful you CAN NOT have a 'Chicago dog' without Vienna. It's GREAT that they have a cafe. #IVisitTheFood #Chicago

Snappy, tasty dogs cooked to order from behind the counter. You can eat in, casual style or your can pick up large boxes of Vienna beef dogs and other treats to go.
