Wiener Take All

If I’m being honest, I think there are better places around. If I wanted to eat cheap, fast food, I’d go to mcdonalds. This place could be cleaner, and the food could be tastier. It’s really small inside, so I understand it’s meant to be a dive, but there are much better ones around.

So close to the taste of Gene and Jude’s… Yet so close to work! In an area where the is barely any local sit down affordable places to eat… The Wiener Circle is one of the few places and the only one I consistently go to… Great Hot Dogs, Fries, and a friendly staff… Perfect for lunch!

Amazing staff and amazing food!!! Wouldn’t suggest any other place to go for a hot dog and burger!!! Drew the owner is fantastic! It’s a must go place!!! I’ve been coming here since I was little and it hasn’t changed a bit which is a good thing!!! The same great people with the same great food!!!

The got dogs were awesome. I originally got the Tuesday special A jumbo got dog with fries and a drink for $ 6.98. They were so good I ended up buying 2 more hot dogs. Also their hand cut fries were amazing

This place is the best hot dog burger place in town! Drew is great! They catered for our business party and they were as professional as it gets. Great food, great people, great place. Check it out!

Excellent food. Service is always fast and extremely friendly! The owner is always there, working behind the counter and you only have to be in there one time and he’ll remember your name, your kids names and your order.

This place gets busy during lunch time because of the bang for your buck. Not to mention GREAT fries and friendliest owner I’ve ever met. Each time I’ve been here when I had to wait in line the owner has given free fries or drinks. They also serve Green River lime flavored soda here. Another plus 1 in my book. Other reviews have raved about the cheese fries but I’ll pass on them. Twice I’ve order the cheese sauce and twice it has been grainy. Maybe I’ve just had bad luck with the cheese sauce. I’ve had combos, gyros, burgers, hotdogs and pizza puffs here and it’s on par with typical burger joints. The owner always stacks your fries up no matter if you order a large or a small.
There’s a similar restaurant restaurant down the street but I would always go here just for the customer service.

Just ok. And pretty pricey for just a 2 hot dog special. Wouldn’t go back when there are so many other hot dog places around. Very hot in there.

These days it is rare to come across a small business that pushes through so many customers in such an efficient manner. Wiener Take All has an extremely competent staff that will not only memorize your order and those of 5 other people at the same time, but they will never get any part of the order wrong.
I came in today and ordered a chardog w/​fries. To my surprise the amount of fries in a small was more like a large. Already liking the food + service. The chardog reminded me of a hotdog straight outta U.S. Cellular Field and they have an amazing hotdog.
Overall I give them 5 stars and respect for the amount of traffic that comes through and leaves satisfied every time.

We decided on a whim and a half off coupon to dine at Weiner Take All. This place is a local favorite for those who live in Buffalo Grove or used to live there. The place has been here for at least I would say 30 years. I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. I have fond memories of coming here with my parents and grandparents when I was little.
When we entered, the place was filled with a kid’s baseball team. Holy loudness along with parents and kids blocking the entire ordering line. Luckily, they were on their way out the door, but what a mess at the tables! Drew the owner was not in today and none of the staff during my observation dining here went out to the tables to clean them. As an owner I would not be happy if I were Drew seeing my staff not cleaning the tables as more customers were arriving to dine in.
I ordered a chicken gyros sandwich and for some reason when I come here for this particular item it seems like they always skimp on it compared to their competitors. Today was no different. I kind of wish they would slice up more chicken for their chicken gyros. Their hot dogs are OUTSTANDING however I just wasn’t feeling like having one today. Back to my gyros, it was good along with their Tzatiki sauce and a fresh warm pita. The fries were fresh and hot. These fries are some of the best fries in the area in my opinion. My husband ordered fried mushrooms with ranch dressing to dip them in along with a cheeseburger. He was highly satisfied with his food.
Overall, food is still great, but Drew needs to work on having his employees be on top of their game when he is not in when it comes to the cleanliness of tables at this establishment. We’ll be coming back again though despite of this.

I was pleasantly surprised at how good this place is. I had a chardog, my wife had the chicken pita, and we both had some fries. Everything was really tasty, I think we’ll be coming back here a few more times.

Good cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and gyro sandwiches. Also, fries are great, and service tends to be fast. Just be careful you don’t get in the same time as a high school sports team. You’ll end up waiting a little longer than expected. Otherwise food is great.

Awesome dogs and fries. And if you are there on a day when the owner Drew is behind the counter, you are likely to get free stuff. He’s a gregarious, old school shopkeeper who makes a point to be friendly, kind and know his customers by name.

I’ve been here 3 times now in just a few weeks. I’ve been looking
for a good hotdog place. I always get the jumbo char dog, and my kids have gotten several different things. Always spot on. And yes the owner Drew is wonderful. Very friendly.
Their fries are incredible! Almost as good as Celli’s.
I will be back again and again and again.
It’s a bit out of my way. But at what point you deny yourself a hotdog and fries as good as here?

I’ve been going here since I was in Junior High School and I won’t stop coming. Nice guy, everything is great, typical greasy spoon but it gets the job done for those special cravings.

The night my husband and I bought our house, our realtor took us next-​door for a quick dinner — to Wiener Take All. I had her recommendation of a (teriyaki) marinated chicken on a pita… and I was HOOKED.
The owner’s name is Drew — and you couldn’t meet a nicer guy! He runs a quick and friendly crew, as well as an excellent shop. The food is fast, hot, and tasty. The fries are wonderful, the shakes-​YUM!, and each day has a couple of specials that combines for a full meal at a decent price.
I have worked with Drew on planning the food for charity events as well as special school lunch days. He is SO generous with his time and efforts. He gives back to the community, and we (the town) KNOW that he is a gem! Frequent the place a few times, and he’ll recognize and greet you warmly.
Whether you are looking for a Chicago-​style hot dog, a char-​grilled burger, gyros, salad, or that GREAT chicken on a pita… you will LOVE Wiener Take All! Tell Drew hi for me!

As a visitor to the area I got a wonderful introduction to a Chicago dog. The dog was fantastic and the fries great. The owner strives for quality, consistency and service.

Stopped by for my first visit and it was good. I ordered a regular hot dog with ketchup, a chili cheese dog and fries. The hot dog itself was good and tastes similar to Portillos. The chili cheese dog seemed like basic cheese with chili purée. I was not a fan of the cheese or chili. The fries were okay but nothing special. Service was fast and the help was very nice.

I was surprised that the char dog here was so tasty — and better in quality than at Portillo’s. I’m willing to bet money that the gyro and burgers here are also pretty good based on the fact that everyone was ordering them. Definitely skip the fries and corn dog. I ordered both and wasn’t pleased with either. The fries looked tastier than they actually were and my corn dog was overcooked.
My complaint about this restaurant lies in the fact that the guy who was making my order (using his bare hands) kept touching his face! This place is lucky I was generous with the two stars. A few days after my visit, I called the restaurant to inform the manager of the unsanitary food preparation practices and was told that they were very busy and to try calling back later…

Best Polish in Buffalo Grove. Great place to hangout, eat and watch some sports.
