Happy Dog West Chicago - Hot dog stand in West Chicago - 140 W Roosevelt Rd, USA

UPDATED March 10,2023 A hidden gem in West Chicago. Carlos & Rick are friendly, serve fresh hot good food! I've had hot dogs with fries here many times and they are a favorite. Today I had the cheeseburger for the 1st time. Excellent and fresh meat, double patties!, fresh condiments and the bun holds up which is a deal maker for me :-) Prices are reasonable. Option #1 feeds 2 people, each getting a hot dog with fries. Just go and try their food. When the weather is warmer, the picnic tables are a nice touch. I pass this place a few times a month and I finally stopped and I am glad I did. Cute from the inside and busy inside with a counter to order and pay then you step outside choose a picnic table or wait near your car they call your name on a loudspeaker and you go in and get your order All in all the wait was about 5 minutes, pretty steady customer flow too. A # 1 consists of two Vienna Chicago beef hot dogs with the works and french fries and one soda. Two of us ordered this and we were pleasantly surprised that the hot dogs were individually wrapped each with fries. So it was very easy to split between my husband and I. He ordered the barqs root beer and it was delicious some places just don't have the fountains right but this place does!! The menu has burgers different wraps salads even gyros. We will definitely be back; a nice easy place to stop in get quick service and good food. I might add their hot dog is not nearly as skinny as some of the bigger chains which has been very disappointing. I love that I found this little place nearby and can't wait to go back. Definitely give it a try :-)

I have been going to The Happy House My Entire Life!!! I moved an Hr away I don’t get to Visit as often as I’d like to. I made the Trip with My Family this weekend to carry on a 3rd Generation Tradition!!! There is Not a thing on the Menu that you would not enjoy!!! Large portions, reasonable prices!!! As Always Great Service!!! Great Food!!! Thanks Again!!! #ricks2cents

Hey this is the best burger you'll ever have !!! Hands down! Wow the meat is so tender and bread is soft, fresh fresh fresh! Absolutely my new lunch joint! Thank you West Chicago! Hot dog is top notch too! And the guys running it have a great time which counts for a lot especially these days! Awesome find!

One thing I love about Chicago are the places like this, small, 2 seats inside, order at the counter, and all of the Chicago favorite’s. The hotdog with everything and fries was a must and I can never say no to a pizza puff. Everything was delicious and hot, friendly service and very fast.

Myself and a business partner ate lunch here today. Food quality and taste was good. We both ordered a combo from the menu with similar prices. My friend got a fairly large bag of fries which made the cost fairly reasonable. When they handed me my bag of food I looked in it and found no fries. When I questioned the guy behind the counter he said my fries were in the bag. After leaving and opening my food bag no bag of fries. When I opened my hot dog I found about a dozen fries dumped on top the dog. I got less than half the amount of food the other order received. If you order here just keep them honest.

I've been here several times since I moved out to this neck of the woods. Everyone working here is super friendly and the food is amazing. The cheese curds are delicious and they have Italian beef egg rolls on the menu too! I think I've been about once every 2-3 weeks for the past 5 months....the beefs!

Great people and excellent food all the way around. Being a first timer, these guys allowed me to try a sample of entrees I was curious about and even threw in a free order of fries for me to try! Top class customer service and the BEST meal I’ve had of American (Chicago) cuisine thus far. Cheese curds are the best around and the burger is a 10 also! Just wonderful experience overall. Will become a regular moving forward.

If your looking for quality Chicago style food, old school Chicago red hots style and classic Chicago vibes this is the perfect spot! The BBQ beef sandwich is by far my favorite the bbq sauce is made in house and I promise you it’s the best sweet tangy sauce you will ever have. The hot dogs are amazing classic Chicago dogs served with fries on top. The fries are great and they don’t skimp you on the fries they hook it up nice and crispy perfectly seasoned. I also recommend the Italian beef egg rolls they’re so good! If you like milkshakes the old fashioned root beer milk shake is phonomenal!! I get them all the time. The 2 guys who run the place Carlos and Rick are the coolest guys classic Chicago guys who always remember you when you come in. Prices are fair too anything on the menu you order will hot and exactly what you hope it will taste like. Go check it out!!
