Hudson SutlerJuly 20, 2017Hot dogs, fries, burgers, you name it, they’ve got it. Famous for berating their customers, you’re sure to end your night with some quality entertainment; especially if you order the Chocolate Shake. Read more
Noah ManionOctober 14, 2014It's lame to watch a bunch of Lincoln Park yuppies drop n bombs at the staff here, but if you go outside of drinking hours, you can get the best cheese fries in the city.
Michael DonovanOctober 23, 2016Service with a smile. Most polite staff you'll ever meet. Great place to take your grandma for wieners.
Serious EatsMay 28, 2013Cheddar Fries: fresh-cut fries covered in glorious Merkt's cheddar. Even when the cheese gets cold, it's still good.
Krystal IrizarryMarch 1, 2014The people here are so nice. Just order clearly and quickly, then leave really great cash tip. Nicest staff ever. Service was quick and they called me sweetie. Awe yeah.
Food NetworkOctober 2, 2014Ted Allen praises The Wiener's Circle for serving up the best thing he ever ate: their famous dogs... served with a side of sass. Skip the hassle of hosting a backyard BBQ and head to the Windy City! Read more
Jeremy ThurberApril 14, 2015The girls have worked there for YEARS & probably make more $ than you.And they don't do that @#$% anymore UNLESS people want it. Great @ night before OR after a night out,open until 4-5a.m.Family=Day
Dr. ThaisJune 10, 2013You know ghetto places only take cash! Put the plastic back!!! Oh & here's the menu!!! Another Oh, the fries are large enough to share :-)
Jesse DitsonSeptember 24, 2018Perfect Chicago Dog. Pay attention, don’t customize, and keep that ketchup way the fuck away from the dog or you’ll get cussed out by the staff!
MaddieJuly 7, 2015The hot dogs!!! Hamburgers are delicious. Fries serve waay more than 2 people. 2 adults and three hungry kids were happily fed by the French fries.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Known for Chicago-style hot dogs served with a side of sass, this latenight hot dog joint was recently the subject of a TruTV reality show. Ask for ketchup at your own risk. Read more- Jany WangMay 2, 2013Oh babe ! U gonna love their chocolate milk shake ! Can't get the same anywhere else !!! Awesome !!!! Strongly recommended ! (Worthwhile $20!)
Come during the day, when the staff is too hungover to yell at you. And get it Chicago-style. Changed my world.
Thomas PatrickJanuary 2, 2013NOT for the weak heart. You WILL get your ear chewed off, insulted... All of the above! But it's great food and a great price. Very interesting.....
Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013Food is average but great for late-night. It's more about the experience but be prepared when you are about to order. Don't forget to ask for a chocolate shake!!- Chulses MacSSeptember 5, 2015Do not get cheddar on anything. The char choices are good and typical of Chicago dogs. Be ready to get insulted and the staff insists on tips. Don't make them mad.
Simon KFebruary 24, 2015While the staff give as good as they get, it's unfortunate that a lot of the visitors seem to think it's acceptable to use racial epithets in place of actual well thought out comedic 'sass'.
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014Get your Chicago red hot with the traditional fixings—mustard, onion, neon-green relish, pickle spear, tomato, celery salt and sport peppers Read more- Jeremy ThurberApril 14, 2015Hot dogs, soda, fries, maybe a milkshake"-", I love the burgers though, hands down best!
Ray LinJuly 23, 2014Get a wiener, obviously. If you go during the day, don't be afraid, they're actually nice!
Chicago TribuneJune 26, 2012This Lincoln Park fast-food joint specializing in Chicago-style hot dogs and cheese fries is a classic late-night, post-bar stop Read more
Jerry JosephJune 13, 2018Just a gimmick to visit once in your lifetime. Also, don’t order the chocolate shake please. Preserve women’s rights.
jake furstJune 19, 2011only go late at night while wasted, and be sure to ask for Poochie. the more smack you talk to her, the more memorable your night will be, and the better your Chicago-style dog will taste.
People don't understand this place so let me set you guys straight. It's welcomed to curse at the staff. It's kind of like their trademark.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 7, 2016Great hot dogs!! Take out of towners here and have them get a chocolate shake for $20. The look on their face will be priceless
Brettly KawaguchiMay 14, 2013Great Service, Great Hot Dogs, A drunk dude who wanted to light his nuts on fire, crack heads, trannys and more, all on a monday night at 1 am.....- Noah ManionOctober 3, 2015LOVE the cheddar fries and char dogs. HATE the thinly veiled racism from the Lincoln Park bros. Have heard the n word from way too many white people here
Justin RandAugust 11, 2014Get the cheddar fries, they look disgusting, but you're drunk and they taste awesome.
The burger that I had was one of the best. It literally melted in my mouth.
Colin YoungJanuary 15, 2015Come here if you enjoy racially-charged exploitation and abuse. The dogs are adequate, but the bad taste in your mouth will be from the customers.
Get wasted, tell other drunks you have an online pass to cut in line, order cheese fries, char dog, and a chocolate milkshake ($20, expensive but worth it.)
Jen HoffmanAugust 19, 2011Such a fun place that you have to try if you are in Lincoln Park and looking for some late night food!!!
Faith RyderAugust 6, 2011Get the chocolate shake. Its $20 but it's big enough for at least 4 AND it's the best shake you'll ever have!
Marvin RussellJanuary 6, 2010Best cheese fries in the world! Always remember to get them "for here". Yes, even if your leaving, otherwise the bag they give you becomes a cheesy uneatable mess!
The International Recipe SyndicateOctober 13, 2011In the mood for some late night grub? The Wiener's Circle is waiting. We recommend the cheese fries and the Chicago Dog.
Charles BSeptember 21, 2011wait until your are black-out drunk and visit Poochey and crew at the finest establishment in Chicagoland. Enjoy the antics. Get cheese fries.
Explore ChicagoJanuary 29, 2010Late nights on weekends, you’ll find the staff at Weiner’s Circle serving up some of their signature, borderline offensive but good-humored ribbing alongside their equally famous Chicago-style dogs. Read more
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014Graham Elliot, chef of Graham Elliot Bistro, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Hot dogs. Read more
Nina CebenkoFebruary 28, 2012Love this place but always have someone else order for me...particularly a good looking male who knows how to sweet-talk the sisters.
- They don’t do the abuse every night. Weekends are the times to go.
