text: PrefacenOK to start off I am a hot dog snob Growing up in Northwest Indiana I made it up to Chicago quite a few times and many of those times I got a hot dog The Wiener CircleCharDogs is by far my fav Also I am a HUGE White Castle fan and cannot stand living off the frozen sliders I have to buy in SoCal I even attempted to make my own homemade White Castle sliders and failednnThe FoodnAs my parents live right down the street I drove by this place and had to try the authentic chicago style dog So one night my gf and buddy drove down and placed a to go order for ourselves and parents at home My parents had steamed hot dogs I ordered a char cheese dog and cheese fries my gf had the polish and my buddy had the italian beef We also ordered of Bobs Sliders which he references to White Castle on the menunnThe dogs and polish were all awesome They had that real vienna beef taste and snap They also used the steamed buns with the black seeds on them which made it The cheese sauce on my dog was plentiful and tasty Altho not as bomb as CharDogs in ChiTown it was pretty damn tasty I ordered my dog Charred you can also order it steamed but I do not think it was charred although it would be hard to tell with all the cheese The cheese fries were also good homemade fries a little darker than your usual fry and covered in cheese I could have asked for just a bit more cheese sauce and a little crispier fries these were a little soggy with the cheese sauce but I also took them to go so I do not know if they would be crispier in store The slider was good for a burger It was tasty however it was NO WHITE CASTLE No resemblance at all except for a smaller bun Oh ya and when you order a soft drink do not expect Pepsi or Coke Bob has RC cola streamin herennServicenI assume the guy that took my order was Bob and the owner Real nice guy obviously from Chicago I ordered ketchup on my dads dog and he was offended and joking with me He was all over the shop talkin to the other couple that was eating there Really nice guy He took the order but did not make the food there was another guy doin the cookin I think he was new because this is why my review gets a rather than a As we walked in the other couple ordered fried chicken which looked awesome They ended up takin it back to be cooked longer I saw it did not look pink or anything but they wanted it more cooked I guess As for our order we placed an order for cheese sliders and jalapeno cheese sliders We ended up getting all jalapeno cheese sliders Not too big of a deal Also as mentioned above I Am pretty sure my dog was no charred but steamed opposite of what I ordered It was still good The one thing that my roommate would not shut up about he never got his peppers with his italian beef We did not check before we left but he said that the peppers really make the sandwich so he was a little pissed about thatnnConclusionnOverall everyone liked the food Next time I go I will prob order cheese char dogs and maybe fries but the dogs are where its at I would probably eat there and double check the order I Am sure the cook was new as is the restaurant and everything tasted bomb The decor is fun and chicagoy and the owner is genuine and nice Id def recommend eatin here
