About

The thing that separates Byron's Hot Dogs from all the similar hot dog stand restaurants in Chicago is that their food is fantastic, 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 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. Sit outside on one of the picnic tables if it's not too chilly for the best experience at this Byron's Hot Dogs location.

  • Ordered a cheeseburger with fries, as well as a jumbo hot dog with fries, for takeout. Food was hot and delicious and made to order. Will be back when in the area.

  • As always the food was great. I just wish you offered a smaller option when it comes to french fries.

  • I'm very disappointed that they changed their daily special menu. Now there is little change in the daily offerings. It's all hot dog or hamburger specials. Gone is the Italian sausage and other more varied specials that once were offered.
