I really like Chicago style dogs and eat them whenever they are offered. I was a visitor to Chicago and decided to try one in the land of their origin. U.B. Dogs did not disappoint. Service was fast and the dog was excellent. I even found a place to sit inside on a very warm and humid day! Will try to get back there whenever I am back in ChiTown.

This place is a jewel downtown area. We had the breakfast twice bacon egg and cheese phenomenal an didn't break my wallet. Since the breakfast was so good we decided to have lunch and the owner takes your order very friendly and the staff is just as amazing. So as a chef myself you can tell his food is very fast fresh an it's because when you are a great boss it shows through the staff and food so glad I found this great place.
Sincerely, Chef Chris Verbaker
How could someone write anything less than 5 stars for this place. Look, if you like hot dogs (and who doesn't) go to UB dogs and get the 2 dog special- It's a home run. Pro tip: Since the line is long and you can grab a menu along the way, have your order when to get to the counter. If you get there around lunch, you'll stand in line. Wanna know why? Because it's the real deal.
Food was amazing and the service was even better!!!! Absolutely a must try if you’re visiting Chicago!!!�
Great food, great service, great price! The only problem is that I'm not in town long enough to try everything on the menu. I had the Chicago dog and fries. Yum!
I can honestly say I was impressed! Walked from grant park to U.B.Dogs today. Had two Chicago's loaded up and fries.I'm from Houston, never had a Chicago style dog and used to polite and friendly but there's always this Texas ego....nothing like it found here....the young lady behind the counter immediately greeted me with a smile. I instantly felt welcome. Moved down to pay and was greeted by a possibly the coolest dude in the world..friendly and inviting. Grabbed a seat at the table/bar at the window to people watch and enjoyed the extremely delicious dogs but man those fries! Amazing....and I've had a lot of fries! Hand cut buy the dude working the fryer! Dude, who ever you are...keep doing exactly what the hell ever you're doing!! Seriously!
Meet Joey, the owner, it's like you have been friends, even family forever. Gotta have that Joey Dog!!!! Tell him JHo from city hall sent you!!!!
Great food. Even better customer service��which is hard to come by, especially during the lunch hour.
First Chicago dog I’ve had and it was amazing. I just moved here, and will definitely be coming back for more!
Great food, incredible fast service, super friendly personnel and the place is spotless
I love it i just loved it ! Amazing burgers and hot dos! Oh and lets not forget about the cheese fries! Yum pretty nice quick service!
Amazing people working there and the food awesome best in town
Best hotdog I've ever had and the owner is probably the nicest person I've ever met! Can't wait to go back when I visit Chicago again
Delicious, quick, great service!
Joey Dog and chilli cheese dog were spot on. I will be back!
After a long flight I needed some soul food and was looking for a spot to get lunch that was close to my hotel. I looked around on google and found this place and I’d never had a true Chicago style hot dog before, and the reviews were good.
Normally I am a simple man when it comes to hot dogs. A hot dog, a bun, and mustard. That’s it. However, I decided to change it up though as I wanted the “true Chicago experience”. I ordered their 2 Chicago Dog special and it was absolutely magnificent. The bun was soft and warm, every topping enhanced the flavor of the hot and juicy dog. And the fries were freshly made and crispy yet soft on the inside. It was perfect. And the hospitality was what you’d expect from a “mom and pop” shop. Overall an A+ experience and I will return someday.
This place is an institution! It's a wonderful lunch spot for a burger or hot dog, and french fries. Nothing fancy here, but it hits the spot every time! Small menu, but they do it all well!
Based on the name of the establishment, U.B. Dogs, I set my mind on stopping by to get a hot dog one day during lunch. The first time I came in here was rush hour so it was pretty busy and it just seemed like a lot to choose which hot dog I would prefer. Eventually, I wandered back and to my surprise was in AWE from the customer service to the quality of the food. One of the team members who stood alongside the cashier suggested I try an Italian Beef. So of course I took the recommendation and got one to my likings, dipped with hot peppers, alongside some fries. The food was amazing and I will most definitely be stopping here every so often on lunch breaks to refuel! This place is such a vibe!
Excellent taste of Chitown. Chicago For and fries. Folks here are really friendly. Fast service. Short line. Plenty of places to sit.
Hands down best burger I've ever had. The impossible patties are unreal and somehow what they did with them make them even more incredible than other places I've had them. Highly recommend. Will be back soon. Owners are awesome people, too!
Update 12/3/19: went to Vegas and visited the coveted Gordon Ramsey burger joint and had his impossible burger. Couldnt believe how it didn't come close to UB's burger. Shocking how Gordon stays in business or calls his burger world famous. Sorry Gordon, That's a Ub distinction.
Luckily, we got there at 11:30 am before the lunch crowd. No line but when we left, line out the door! Excellent variety of hot dogs and sides.
My first meal in Chicago and I wasn't dissapointed! The staff is INCREDIBLY friendly and the food is delicious! The best Chicago hot dog I will probably ever have.
Overall, an excellent place to pop in and enjoy your meal. I will be back!
The atmosphere here is fantastic! Cheap hot dogs, great menu selection, wonderfully energetic staff. I tried the Joey dog, and while I didn't care much for the garlic-wasabi aoili, I would definitely go back and try some other options. The fountain drink machine had some great cream soda as well.
Amazing Chicago Style Hot Dog. French Fries cooked fresh for each order. Amazing!
I loved the Chicago dog, and don’t be intimidated by a long line! I went to this place on a weekday for lunch and the line stretched outside the door (this is common for lunch downtown). I ordered and received my food in under 15 minutes.
