Highly recommended the gyros, they also have a a Gyro Cheeseburger. Today I decided to Order onion rings and they are some of the best rings I’ve had around the area. They take cash, card, and Apple Pay.

Its really doesnt get better than Dear Franks. Everyt8me we go, the tood is the exact same as before. Hands down the best polish sausage in the area. This is the only place thats ever asked me if id like my hot dog charred or not(couodnt reccomend charred more!). Its been the same staff for as long as i can remember and they are always fantastic! Extremely family oriented as well which i absolutely love! I really couldn’t reccomend this place more for an amazing hot dog and polish sausage!

I was super happy to discover that Dear Franks has a location near my job since I’ve been eating at their Niles location for years. It’s great to be able to get some good Chicago dogs in Lake County. The burgers with hot dog toppings are great too.

This is my first time trying this restaurant and I loved it. My favorite Sandwich is the Italian beef, and I always like to try new restaurants to see who makes the best. I ordered the Homemade Italian beef sandwich with Hot peppers, and I loved it in general. Here is my feedback to the owner:
1. Your beef and gravy are very delicious and well balanced in taste; they are nicely seasoned which is something not all restaurants can get right. they are enjoyable to eat. Good job on this.
Here are some suggestions to further elevate the Sandwich in my opinion:
1. The bread should be able to hold a very wet sandwich without breaking apart, I suggest looking for special kind of bread that can do so for customer who like their Sandwich Saggy like myself.
2. Depending on the temperature of the gravy, the beef may need to stay in it for few minutes (3 to 5) to keep maximum tenderness.
3. The Hot peppers are extremely spicy, and they can dominate the taste and hide the deliciousness of your wonderful product. I pushed most of them aside to enjoy the awesome taste of the beef. If there is a way to tune them down so they give a kick, then I think it will be great in my opinion.
Overall, lovely place, I recommend it!

Can’t go wrong with any of the classic hot dog joint menu items. Everything tastes very fresh, including the salads. A little pricey but worth it.

me and my friend went here on a hot day looking for something cold, we got ice cream and Boba to enjoy. We were $.30 short, but the worker was so nice and said He would pay it. The service is overall amazing and the worker was so very nice. It has a good atmosphere and everyone just acts so nice there.

I have been going to Dear Franks since 1984. It us always delicious. The super chicken sandwich is great. The Chicago style hot dogs are fantastic – can’t miss these if you are new to Chicago. My personal favorite thing to order are the cheese fries. I traveled in today for just a day in Deerfield and had to make sure I went to Dear Franks for some cheese fries.

Legit Chicago-style char dog, with cheese fries. And, that good merkts cheddar. The owner and his staff were very friendly and nice. You know it’s a gem when they know people on a first name basis. ❤

Philly cheese sandwich they forgot they had cooking so was half burnt, cheese sauce was like cheese whiz from a can. I gave the kids cheese burger a try, lifted the oversized butter bun to find a miserable burnt piece of meat. They had extra cooked burgers dying on the side of the flat top.Fries were stale, at 1230 pm during lunch. on top it was over forty bucks!!!!! i left it all in shock and just settled and went to somewhere else.
