I had a craving for a Chicago style hotdog and found this place on yelp. Staff was friendly. Hog dog was awesome. I will definitely be back.

I wasn't too hungry however I've driven by this place many times. It was just on a whim that I wanted to give it a try. The hotdog was very good, the poppy seed bun was warm and super soft, the hotdog itself is a Vienna style dog, it had a good bite to it and was flavorful. I figured I'd try one of the simplest hotdogs to see if they could get it right. Because let's face it, if you can't get a regular hotdog right why be in the hotdog business. I'm glad to say it was very good, I was a little skeptical about the poppy seed bun but was pleasantly surprised. The bun gave it a subtle twist to a regular bun. I will be back to try the Chicago dog and the San Antonio style dogs.

The ambiance has lots of decor from Chicago and a really cool mural on the wall. The atmosphere is very relaxed and family oriented. Everyone was very friendly and inviting. I talked with the staff and it felt like i was back home with my family. The food was excellent. I got the special with italian beef and italian sausage. The meat was delicious. The bread they use really brings it together. The french fries have a good crisp with a generous portion size.

First thing I noticed was the restaurant was clean! The second thing, I was greeted by the owner who was cordial and polite. The third and final thing is the food was delicious. I had a taste for an Italian beef and didn't want to drive to another establishment, so I for the first time coming here wasn't a bad decision. They could've dipped it a little longer but next time I'll let'm know. After I paid he asked if I wanted to be part of the rewards program but I declined, laughingly he said oh you want to make sure it's good, and I said of course. Well it's good enough for a second visit.

A FREE Chicago-style dog with a Yelp check-in? Count me in! The dog was everything you'd expect from a true Chicago joint. Loaded with all the classic fixings and bursting with flavor. The hot Italian beef sandwich? Solid. Juicy, savory, and hits the spot Overall, worth a stop if you're craving a no-frills, authentic Chi-town bite!"

Friendly staff, amazing food, and affordable prices! While visiting San Antonio, we stopped by for a few hot dogs and a pizza puff--an underrated gem. Thank you for being open on NYE, serving the community with such care and quality. Highly recommend!

Chicago Style Dog 8/10 Fries 8/10 I finally made it out and was not disappointed. The pickle was sour, it threw off the flavor but I was able to remove it. The fries were fresh and perfectly seasoned. I had been craving a chicago style dog and wanted to try a new place

First time here. I wanted to see if the chicago hot dog hit the spot & it did not disappoint. It was one of the best we've had in town. We also tried the chili cheese dog which i thought was ok. The chili was excellent but was not a fan of the cheese (it was just ok) but overall still decent. The fries were fresh & tastey. We also had the italian beef sandwich whoch was wet but excellent. We will definitely be back. The staff was friendly. They checked on us a few times. Great experience.

Tonight, hubby had dinner with the BSF men's group. Dad and I headed to @chicagohotdogsusa for dinner. This past Saturday, they celebrated their 3rd year anniversary with $3 hotdogs. Amado took my order, served us and check to make sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Monday Special, which was a Chicago hotdog, fries and drink. I got the Build Your Own hotdog for Dad since he prefers the American Dog with lots of relish. Dad and I shared the fries and there was plenty for both of us. Dad and I both had Lemonade. I also wanted to try the Italian Beef Sandwich. Meat was so tender from the few bites I had. The dipping sauce definitely adds flavor. Amado was explaining that making the Italian Beef is a 2-day process. First, it cooks for 4 hours the first day. The second day is when the chilled meat is sliced. I think this is the first time I've tried this. It's like Philly has its cheesesteak then Chicago has the Italian Beef. Chicago Hotdogs is part of the San Antonio Restaurant Gold Club. Check out the perks! The bonus when I got home is that Groupon+ informed me of the cash back I got from dinner tonight. Great dinner and cash back!
