About

The thing that separates Byron's Hot Dogs from all the similar hot dog stand restaurants in Chicago is that their food is actually good, especially for the price. And, when you consider accolades such as being showcased on the White House lawn for a Chicago dog picnic (and articles in the Sun Times about their trip to the White House), being featured in an episode of "Chicago's Best", and being featured in GQ Magazine for "Best Fries" in America (February 2009), you know they're the best! With a huge selection of toppings for your dog, including a several types of peppers and original concoctions as well as the standards, Byron's can satisfy anyone with a taste for good short order food. The Byron's dog is a messy, five-napkin Vienna Beef frank that requires a two-handed pickup. But they do much more than just hot dogs; don't be afraid to try their Certified Angus Beef burgers or something else from their extensive menu like French fries or chili tamales. The scene at this Wrigley spot is Chicago dog-shack chic: bright yellow walls, a tiny counter, a grill and two beat-up, red picnic tables outside. There's no better place to enjoy a sausage than outside at the patio tables on a summer day.

  • Dogs were pure Chicago. A little sloppy eating the hot dog with everything on it. My granddaughter had no complaints; she enjoyed the experience.

  • Byron's is one of Chicago's classic hot dog stands. Service was fast, accurate and friendly. The guy taking my order pointed out a daily special, but I was intent on a Chicago-style hot dog, though burgers (the day's special), gyros, and other sandwich options looked good too. It's walkable to Wrigley Field (about a half-mile) and Red Line adjacent (if you'd prefer the elevated train to walking) offering a nice pre- or post-game option for baseball fans on game days, and unlike the ballpark, Byron's prices don't require a 30-year mortgage to pay for a family of four.

  • First time I tried Philly Cheesesteak it was outstanding and very filling. I always love this gem of a place. The new winter covering for the outdoor seating added to my enjoyment
