Mister J's - Chicago

I visited this restaurant as part of a foodie tour, and it has a delightful old-school fast food vibe. The Chicago dog is a must-try; it truly captures the essence of an iconic hot dog, loaded with everything you could want and executed perfectly! The menu is extensive, and I’m eager to sample more items from it. The staff is friendly and works efficiently. As for pricing, it’s exactly what you would expect.

Once the door opened, we were welcomed with friendly smiles and chose two classic Chicago dishes: the Polish and Italian sausages. The hot dogs were simply outstanding, and the prices were quite reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. If you find yourself in Chicago, don’t miss out on this small, locally owned establishment that has been serving delicious food for over 70 years!

I had my first Chicago-style hot dog, and it was delicious! This place has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall vibe, and it might actually be one, but the food definitely makes up for it. I visited on a late Saturday night during the summer and ordered two hot dogs, and they were fantastic!

These workers have their brains connected. I have never seen such efficient service from two workers, serving a non stop line with intoxicated individuals that don't speak clearly. There were two people, one was taking the orders and literally mumbling it to the other guy, and this first person was in charge of the fries and desserts. The other guy was cooking everything, making sandwiches, and dealing with the cash register. This was just an incredible real life simulation of a cooking game nothing was overcooked even though one worker spent some time at the register, and no order was made incorrectly. Stuff came out fast, too. Now, onto the food it's DELICIOUS! I loved the hoagie, but I saw some other people get fries or hot dogs I didn't get those, but I will try it next time. We forgot to take pictures of the sandwich though. If you want good fast food, come here! The ambience at night is great and they open late on Fridays and Saturdays. Great post party food!

I forgot how great is the food here since I haven’t been here since Covid I’ve been coming here for the past 25 years I’m a big fan of Italian beef and these guys nailed it I love there menu options and the portion of the food is just right as always Friendly staff who been there for the longest time and fast service Definitely recommend them and coming back to get my Philly steak
