Gene & Jude's

There isnt anything I can add about this iconic hotdog joint that hasnt already been said but I just wanted to memorialize it since Ive been visiting this place for over 2 decades, and its consistency is uncanny. My favorite is the double dog (no relish) and these are some of the best fries. The fries was fresh out the frier and nearly burned my mouth (in a good way). I like that they cut these russet potatoes in the cook line!! A definite must stop whenever near this area!

Great place to have a simple hot dog. Service was good and pretty fast to get my food out. The atmosphere is just like a mom and pop restaurant. The hot dog was great it just had a little too much mustard for my liking. Other than that I loved the fresh fries and hotdog. I would definitely recommend and go back to eat when I’m I the area again. Gene and Jude’s definitely lives up to its reputation.

First bite was moist but smoky.The Original Chicago dog is smoke free flavor and beef only with a poppy seed bun and sweet relish. The experience was missed on me. Although in sight were large boxes of potatoes and another post show video of live potatoes cutting today we were served low quality fries .Pictures shown on other reviews are not representative of today’s personal experience. Fries lacked genuine flavor and texture. Is time for a makeover here: the building, the lack of outdoor tables, the trash can without cover, the dirty counters .. for such a prestigious place it was a general let down.The price is good at $ 10 for double hot dog on one bun and a large drink. I would suggest a collaboration with local Chicago bakery Turano for an elevated bun experience and beef tallow f

Its a like a shiny bright yellow neon abject in the middle of nowhere. They only have four choices and I went with the double dog & fries. Staff is great and welcoming. My first time here and I'll be back in the future.

If you come to Chicagoland. You better stop here and get it all both orange and grape drinks. They place is a staple. My grand parents lived 7 mins away and we visited every weekend and ether we would get Gen and Jude’s or Jake’s pizza. But the fires from this place you must come.
