Second to last stop on the glizzy tour The charred Chicago dog was the bomb, and it had the poppy seed bun the fries were the best we had all trip. Ask for it with hot peppers this place also has the best seating and restrooms. Definitely coming back. Thank you

This is a lot of fun especially at night. The Chicago dogs are some of my personal favorite dogs. Watched the review of the wiener Circle on YouTube from the Coney bros and I knew I had to go get myself a dog from here. Service is a tad different but makes it the experience it is.

This iconic hot dog joint delivers not only delicious food but also a memorable, interactive experience. The hot dogs at The Wiener’s Circle are undeniably delicious, and they offer a variety of toppings to choose from. I enjoyed the classic Chicago-style dog, which was perfectly seasoned and topped with all the traditional fixings. The food is a bit on the greasy side, but that’s part of the charm. What sets The Wiener’s Circle apart is its lively and entertaining staff. They engage with customers in a playful banter that’s all in good fun. The humorous and sometimes irreverent interactions added an element of entertainment to the meal. It’s not your typical fast-food experience, and it’s not for the faint of heart. If you’re up for some light-hearted banter and want a bit of Chicago’s famously bold attitude, this is the place to go. The outdoor seating area was clean and well-maintained, and the service was quick and efficient. The prices are reasonable, making it an affordable option in the heart of the city. While the hot dogs are unquestionably tasty, the experience is what makes The Wiener’s Circle unique. If you’re looking for a fun and unapologetically Chicago-style dining adventure, you should give it a try. Just be prepared for a bit of sass along with your meal. The Wiener’s Circle is a must-visit for anyone looking for a tasty hot dog and a milkshake with a side of Chicago humor. It’s not a dining establishment, but it offers a distinct experience that’s worth trying at least once. Just remember to bring a sense of humor with you! and please DO NOT PUT KETCHUP on the Hot dogs!!

I got a char dog here while visiting Chicago for a day trip. The hot dog was very tasty and the rest of the ingredients were good. The fries here were awesome! DO NOT SKIP THE FRIES!
The women working here doled out some sassy banter, as expected based on other reviews. Made you feel like a local, long-time customer. They’re open until 4 or 5 a.m. so you don’t have to worry about getting there too late.

My Chicago Dog was ok, service not so great. My order wasn’t correct, I ordered 1 Chicago Dog and 1 regular hotdog with mustard only. I ended up with 2 Chicago dogs. The worker taking my order I wasn’t sure if she was talking to me or the person on her phone. My Chicago dog didn’t taste any different from a hotdog at a cookout. So I’m good on my Chicago Dog experience, won’t need to have another.

First time ever with a chicago style hotdog. This place was highly recommended to me and was conveniently on the way to Wrigley. Consider me converted to the one true style of hotdog! I had 2 other chicago style dogs at different places but this was by far the best one. Amazing experience, one that won’t be forgotten.

I understand that they are intending to be mean with service! But still, took over 10 min for a single dog which is $6. Overall I’m not impressed with the service or the dog. It was about average.

Their new back patio is great. It makes Weiner Circle somewhere that you can hangout with friends and drink, in addition to get a superb char dog or burger. Highly recommend, even in the winter, because they have heaters and wind screens.

We were in town visiting friends, and decided on some local flavor.
Grilled or steamed red hots (Vienna beef) is always good, but their cheeseburger today won!! Oh, and cheese fries.

This was definitely the best hotdog we had while visiting Chicago, just looking at this picture makes makes me want to hop on a plane and go back. The staff was a bit rude but I’m sure you get a more full rude experience when you go later in the evening and it’s more crowded!
P.s. The staff being rude is the attractive novelty of this place and it’s super fun! Even the little bit we experienced!
