Authentic Chicago Dogs

45+ Years of Flavor
A Fort Lauderdale institution since 1979, now under new ownership with the same original recipes.

A Chicago Tradition, Perfected in Florida

We’re not fancy — we’re just faithful to what matters: quality ingredients, friendly service, and hot dogs that make your day.

Best Chicago dogs outside of Chicago! The hot dogs are authentic Vienna beef and the toppings are perfect. A must-visit when in Fort Lauderdale.

We're from Chicago and this place definitely hits the spot when we're missing home. The Italian beef sandwich is incredible too!
David W.
This place is a time capsule in the best way possible. Same great taste for over 40 years. The tamales are a hidden gem!
