Had lunch here today while walking to the aquarium. Great tasting Chicago dog although at over $7 each that felt too high. Just a basic small hotdog but with good bun and veggies. Someone else posted about getting a Costco dog and adding veggies on your own which I think would be a good recommendation and would cost max $2. Anyway enjoyed eating here and would likely get again if I'm walking through

What fun to enjoy a vegan hotdog on the museum campus! We each ordered the $11 combo for a vegan dog, a bag of potato chips, and a canned soft drink. Affordable and filling. Topped our dogs with mustard, relish, pickle, and celery salt (not the true Chicago-style this time). The dog was piping hot; the bun was fresh; and they added alot of grated cheese for just $1 more. Vendors have always been helpful and friendly in our experience. They also have a stand at the southwest corner of the Field Museum. Well worth $24!

We went down to the Shedd aquarium to spend the day there and had some time to kill before our tickets were available. I was hungry and noticed the hot dog stands and decided to just hit one of them. I walked over and nobody was about yet because it was still early in the day and took a look at what they were offering. They actually had some really good choices and I decided to go simply with a Chicago dog combo with chips and a drink. The person that waited on me was friendly and responsive. It just took a few moments for my food to be ready and I just had to grab my drink from their cooler. I ended up with a Chicago dog with no tomato, corn chips and water. That keeps my doctor's mostly happy. I walked over and sat on one of the benches to heat my dog and made sure to keep it close to me so the birds wouldn't try and steal things. They started gathering the moment I started on wrapping it. It was a perfect Chicago dog and I was very happy with the food. There are no tables near the two hot dogs stands but there were plenty of benches near the Shedd. The other location is by the corner near the Field Museum. As there were so many birds around I was unable to take any pictures. If you are down in the area and looking for a quick bite to eat I can definitely recommend these places.
