Paradise Pup

Absolutely authentic. I cannot explain enough how genuinely amazing the char on the burger was. The hotdog was decorated with all of the right toppings. Side of mushrooms were crunchy and delicious. Banana milkshake was creamy and sweet you can taste the real difference, other places force fake artificial banana flavoring and Paradise truly sticks to a clean pureed banana milkshake. Was more than satisfied with my visit and look forward to more trips as the summer creeps closer. Nothing beats smelling food outside of an establishment with a nice breeze of char smoke. Thank you Paradise Pub crew amazing staff and great hospitality.

Paradise Pup was a great stop. The Vienna beef hot dogs were fantastic—definitely get them with everything. The burgers were delicious too. I ordered way too much food and none of it disappointed. A tasty spot that’s easy to recommend.

Paradise Pup in Des Plaines, Illinois absolutely lives up to the hype. The American Cheeseburger I had was phenomenal—the patty was huge, perfectly cooked, and dripping with melted cheese. Every bite reminded me why this place is a classic. Simple, old-school, and done right. If you’re anywhere nearby and craving a real burger, this is the spot.

Way better than it has any right to be, definitely worth the trip. Bring an appetite. Definitely go for cheese on your burger, there's something special about the cheddar they put on it. The burger and fries were 😘, the PB& Banana shake even better. There's only one other place in the US, I'd take over this, Page's Creamery in Pittsburgh, and they aren't open most of the year. Only place in the Chicago area I found comparable is Johnnie's beef

It's good. The burger was juicy and delicious. 3 layer fries are not my thing, but I like to try things I've never had. My husband enjoyed the Italian beef. We also shared a peanut butter banana shake. It hit the spot.
