Poochie’s - Skokie

I'm not a fan of hot dogs but I started to like them and now out of several times and places, I've tried them, the best one is charcoal, the complete one, with the perfect flavor! I highly recommend it.

Had the chicken breast sandwich, and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Keep up the good work!

Classic Chicago dog. I'd been a big fan of Poochies when I lived in the chicago area until the 1990s. I was delighted to see they still had a location on Dempster and gave it a try. It's hard to find a restaurant that hasn't changed in over 35 years. Still had a great flavored dog with a good snap, nice fries and friendly help. Definately a better dog than the chains.

Always a great experience. I’m there at least weekly.

First time in Chicago, so we wanted to try some Chicago style food for us and the teens. Someone suggested Portillo 's, but in looking that up, we came across Poochie 's, which had similar Chicago style menu options, and the name sounded fun, so we came here instead. So glad we did! The gal at the register was super helpful since this place was new to us. Most items came as a special, which meant it came with their hand cut fries and a 20 oz drink. One teen got the Chicago dog with ALL the toppings, and substituted onion rings for the fries; two others got the bacon cheeseburger specials; my son got the double cheeseburger special and substituted an oreo shake for the drink for an extra charge. My hubby went with the Italian beef sandwich, fries and a chocolate malt. I did the polish sausage special, Chicago style. The cool thing was, when your sandwich was ready, the grillmaster called you up to the counter to put on the toppings you wanted. It was kind of like Subway! Note: a serving of fries was huge you may want to share. The food was excellent, the service great. On our way out, we discovered that, unlike the Portillos chain, this was a single location eatery. We 're glad we stopped in!!
