Rudy’s Grill

As always giving businesses another chance and Rudy’s came through. Good food and service and a great price!

Not bad for a burger joint. Pretty typical. I love it! They are very accommodating to special orders.

In my ever exhausting search to review Chicago area hot dog stands a friend of mine tipped me off to one not too far from his home. On West 63^rd street in Summit sits Rudy’s Grill, a small little eatery with some old school charm. In driving up to it there is a small parking lot accessible from either 63^rd street or a side street.
I pulled up parked and then headed towards the building. When you walk inside there’s one long counter to eat at along with the the ordering counter on the other side. I went in, fairly quickly placed my order, paid and waited for my food. They have RC products here rather than Coke or Pepsi and a fairly large menu for such a small place. After a few minutes the food was ready and both my friend and I dug in.
We ordered the two hot dog special which included fries and a drink and split the hot dogs up one each. The hot dog here comes on a non-​poppy seed bun. There was a somewhat thick but not too sour pickle slice here. Some fresh tasting moist onions, nice relish, mustard on it as well. The hot dog did not come with tomato, celery salt or sport peppers. The sausage used here was skinless and appears to be a Red Hot Chicago brand frank. The overall taste of the combined ingredients was excellent and really worked well together.
The fries included here were long, somewhat bland fries. They were thick but had some pretty flavorless potato paste inside. They weren’t particularly salty or greasy, they were just kind of bland.
Overall I found this to be an excellent hot dog. This was well above average and despite the somewhat lousy fries I am going to give Rudy’s Grill four stars. If you’re nearby this neighborhood dive is definitely worth checking out.
