Basilone’s

The Margie Dog is to Farrell what the Coney Dog is to NYC and the Chicago Style Hot Dog is to Illinois. What a truly delicious hot dog! Just the right amount of spice makes this great to have a beer with! I’ve put many of these away!

The food here is stellar ! After hearing from co-​workers for years about how good the Margie Dogs are, we decided to give this a shot after moving not too far away. Be warned that the food is spicy but I think that is what everyone loves about it. I personally LOVE spicy food and it is never hot enough for me but this was almost perfect. The menu posted in the establishment is kind of generic and obscure and from what I’m told is only the partial menu. We got Margie dogs, Margie fries and white pizza. It was all OUTSTANDING and we were stuffed after we ate. I’d recommend this place to anyone. The neighborhood isn’t the best but the staff was very friendly and the couple other people that were there on a Saturday afternoon were talkative, friendly and nice. Highly recommend. My usual complaints — No online menu and they don’t take credit cards… Oh well in this case. :)

Basilones is basically my second home. I love their menu. I am a sucker for the margie dogs and onion chips.
