The best Char Burger! I highly recommend the Char Cheddar Burger. The cheese is almost like a spread which is very pleasant. The fries are very good too. I think Superdawg has better dogs though. The service was very sweet too. Server with the Blue Hair was very sweet. I’d definitely return for another burger.

Nasty had the monster burger tasted like Aldi’s cheap premade burger no naste plain no taste to the paddies then the cheddar cheese fries tasted like caned cheese spent over 20 bucks for two items best part of the meal was the root beer soda won’t be going back they need to use real burger not premade patties and season ur burger plz

Best Chicago style hot dog restaurant in the whole world. Ok I haven’t been all over the world , but trust me when I say it’s the best. Hand cut fries is definitely one reason this is my go to hotdog place. No frozen “French” fries here.

Man oh man do I love their char-dogs. My friend who passed away was from Chicago and we had last went there 12 years ago which was 2 1/2 years before he died. We had planned to go back to Chicago and make our first stop at Poochies so this time I went with my family in his memory. I had two char-dogs and made the excuse that one was for him. In reality I could have 5in one sitting. Great friendly staff and an awesome place to check out. You can’t go to Chicago without making a stop at Poochies. I also tried a char-burger lettuce wrapped…mmm mmm good!

Great family friendly restaurant. Traditional comfort food. We had the hot dog, bacon cheeseburger, and handcutted fries. It was fresh delicious. The fries were little oily and dark for me. The price is typical for the food. A great neighborhood place to have.
