I have lived near this place for over a year and half and man have I been MISSING OUT. Burger with a pretzel bun??? Incredible. The fries? Ordered them extra crispy… exquisite. Chicago dog… amazing. Omg so thrilled I finally tried Flub A Dub Chub!!!
Went to Flub A Dub via the Red Line. Ordered a 1/4 lb Vienna grilled dog, Chicago style with fries. ONE OF THE BEST HOT DOGS IN CHICAGO! Hot dog had great snap, toppings were fresh, presentation was nice. Fries super crispy and seasoned well. Amazing place!
This 4-star rating is truly a misnomer, its a 4.3 on my scale. The italian beef was huge and dipped with sweet peppers. Definitely delicious, but I do have my favorite italian beef place and this was really good but not as good as my usual place. However, I actually came here for the Chicago dog and this was on point. This is a classic dog dragged through the garden which was fulfilling as well as filling. The tots and fries was crispy, hot, salty and delicious. I really liked the decor and campiness of this “below street level” spot. Definite hidden gem! The staff was also very friendly. Will visit again soon!
This place was an incredible delight. The owner walks around with his grandson greeting every single guest and making them feel like family. They have an area to color and you can submit your drawing to be hung up. The grandma is taking the orders and she is so sweet. They said they have been open there for 15 years. The burger I got was cooked a perfect medium, but could've used a bit more salt/seasoning. The fries were delicious, and very crunchy. This place is a bit small and has a louder noise if you go at a busy time, so it could be a bit easy to get overstimulated if you're not prepared. I knew it'd be busy so I didn't experience too much anxiety with this restaurant at all! I never felt worried about being annoying to them, as they made every person feel 100% welcome. Lovely place, will absolutely return.
I had the Chubby with tots and had to get a Flubby as well because it was so good. Great bun, great pickle and relish, crunchy and fresh onion, tomato and cucumber, just the right amount of peppers and celery salt. Possibly the best hotdog I’ve ever had in my life and the best thing I ate in Chicago this short trip.
