get the bulgogi(bull-go-gee) sandwich and forget about this wretched world for the brief amount of time that it takes to eat the sandwich

Hot dog taste good! Small joint and steadily busy, will need to return to try burgers. Nice service!

Chicago style hot dog is great! Comes with fries for under $ 3. The pickle was disappointing. Friendly service. Counter seating inside and picnic tables outside. Will be back next time I’m in the neighborhood and craving dogs.

The food is awesome! I love the burgers, gyro, and polish. I wish the owner was nice to his customers because after all we are supporting you and your business. There’s a small parking lot but mostly street parking. It’s pretty affordable as well

J’s serves typical hot dog stand food, but it’s all nicely done. Friendly service, good prices and damn good fries. There’s even a small parking lot, if you need it.

My sister introduced me to this place years ago– I’m not sure of the caliber of taste, but I remember wanting to come here myself as I *liked* everything my sister brought home. But I wonder why I haven’t made it a regular since then? Fast forwarding a couple years later, found the owner(elder asian man) in front of the shack, during the evening rain, looking for things on the ground and a container on one hand– my ex says he was catching worms… Plausible. Though, I hope not for use in the kitchen ha ha. After reading the reviews, I might have to revisit this joint again– Chicago dogs and burgers duly noted.

Classic Chicsgo style hit dog stand. Fries are just«ok». Burger has that taste that makes you feel 12 again. The fried mushrooms are a little bland and comes w/ranch not marinara. But all-in-all I’m happy w/it.

Stopped for a bag of dogs. Chicago dogs desired and we got what we wanted here. Vienna Beef here and the price was right.

So-this place is absolutely amazing. I got two Chicago dogs, two orders of fries included for free PLUS21 regular sized not mini shrimp plus free frees(so in total 3 orders of fries) and a can of Mountain dew for $ 11.02. My two dogs were part of a special(2 dogs plus fries for $ 3.89) the dew(85 cents) the shrimp($ 5.35) plus say what 1.50-$ 2.00 for tax? I got home and died I shared it with my girlfriend and we were like hot damn this is such good food and the service was amazing. It’s not fancy and many people may not get it but I live around here and I always walked by this place but it was always filled with people and I was always in a rush so today I was like ok I’ll try it and now my girlfriend and I are like… damn we shouldn’t have eaten there because now I want to stop eating at places on our block and walk the extra two blocks just to come to this place. It’s such good food at diner prices and I love it. Yes there are no poppy seeds and no celery salt(the salt is on the counter) but this guy is old school and he wants to keep prices low and food good so so I could give a damn about the poppy seeds.

I have been coming here for over 5 years at least. PROS:Good hot dogs, great Philly steaks, good beefs. good fries. No lines, good prices, Nice people.(they are Korean) not chinese. CONS:you need to ask for more napkins all the time, drives me nuts. 10 cent extra for hot peppers. they keep switching from coke to Pepsi and vise verse.

I can get a hot dog, fries and a can of soda for $ 3 even here. Not many places where I can fill up and hydrate for $ 3 anymore. The people are nice and the food has been good every time I go… are they«real» Chicago hot dogs? No, but for the price they will so more then do.

Dear Vienna Beef, I was curious about the standards that need to be upheld in order to display the Vienna Beef logo at a restaurant. Surely it’s can’t just be selling the hot dogs. The reason I ask is that J’s Corner Hot Dogs is selling Vienna Beef hot dogs without a poppy seed bun nor celery salt, and charges 10 cents extra for hot peppers. Is nothing sacred anymore? These are NOT Chicago dogs and I ask that you intervene immediately on behalf of the Vienna Beef brand. Seriously, what’s up with all these great reviews of this place? The food was nothing special, it was too expensive, and they don’t sell PROPERCHICAGOHOTDOGS. That alone is enough to keep my review at less than three stars and will prevent me from ever going there again. Hot Doug’s burns down and this place is still open? Are you guys Chicagoan or not?

You drive by this place and based on the conditions on the outside you think that it is not for you, it must be horrible, it has gotta be a pit. Well, that didn’t stop me, I had to check it out. I drove in to park, the place is on a triangular lot just off of Elston and just a little south of Irving Park. Other than for the crew, it can hold maybe three or four customer cars comfortably. However, it seems most fans are locals that are within walking distance. The place is a stand or more accurately it has counters and stools. The ordering and dining experience is confined to a 8′ x 16′ area or you can take your order outside and sit at one of the unshaded rectangle picnic tables. You will find the inside to be stuck in the 70’s along with the goofy steel spiral pickets only in front of the register to supposedly prevent something. The menu is limited, but done the Chicago Way. The typical stuff like Vienna Dogs, burgers, beef, fried sides, … with shoestring fries included, whether you like it or not. Not bad fries even though they must be frozen. The food, get to the food, how was it? After a few visits, I’ve tried the dog, burger, beef and of course the fries. Mediocre, that is all I got to say. If you live in the neighborhood, they know enough to keep you coming back, but not very often. The quality and price matrix, three. Seriously, I didn’t like the burger and beef. The dog, close but no cigar. Add one for the fact that they are a mom and pop business and subtract a half for them not being very successfully in giving their customers a good deal. Being generous, I’m rounding up to four stars.

Chicago Hot Dog Checklist 1. Appropriate condiments — 4 Stars — Sport Peppers cost extra — Celery Salt not included, must shake on yourself 2. Bun — 3 Stars — Not Poppy Seed — Not Steamed enough 3. The Beef — 5 Stars — Perfectly steamed dog — Vienna Beef 4. Over all Satisfaction on consumption — 4.5 stars — A very decent dog, certainly not the best in Chicago, but better than most.

I cant complain a bit. For a little shack, this place really delivers. I payed less than 5 bucks for a good burger lunch. I am pretty picky about this sort of thing, and can also say that the quality was way above what i was expecting for a cheap burger joint.

I am so glad to see J’s getting some props. I live just a few doors away and, believe, me I could do much much worse for a corner hot dog joint. One would think that all Vienna Beef hot dogs joints are the same… and one would be wrong. I don’t know if it’s the preparation, or the bun, or the grill or an ancient Chinese secret but everything I’ve ever had off of that grill is tasty as all get out. Even during a lunch rush, the staff at J’s gets food out quickly. They are all very friendly and the«free fries with any sandwich» makes any menu choice a good deal. I must confess I haven’t tried the more processed foods here – pizza puffs, etc. I like to stick the devil that I know(ie. burgers, dogs and the occasional gyro.) The meat is tasty and the fries are as good as any I’ve ever had. Should you drive across town for this place? Probably not worth the time. However, if you are in this hood and looking for a decent, cheap and quick lunch, I highly recommend this over the other fast food options in the area. And as long as were divulging our own pet nicknames for this place(see Patrick’s & Julia’s reviews below,) I admit that sometime in the early 2000’s I started referring to this place as «J-Lo’s Hot Dogs.» There, I said it. My secret is out.

I grew up near this place. My dad always liked a deal, when I was a kid we went to «Chinese Dogs» all the time. Thats all we ever called it. I didn’t even know it was J’s Corner. The dogs are just good chicago hot dogs. The fries are fresh cut with one of those wall mounted fry cutters that churns away all day. Best has got to be the price. I think it’s about $ 1.50 now for a dog and fries. Most places with that type of price has junk fries and hotdogs made from shit. Never had anything else here, I guess the pop is fine…
