Their Italian beef is great. It has the Dave's Red Hots taste to it, which makes it unique. I would like to come back here.

I worked there as a kid in grade school. My best friend Betty Steins father owned the place. Lived across street on Homan Avenue. Went to Lawson elementary and Marshall HS. Memories of great hot dogs and fries.

I grew up eating Dave's red hots, since I was a little boy and now that I'm a senior citizen I still enjoy that double hot dog, just as much as I loved it when I was a kid I recommend everyone trial Dave's Red hots, And those french fries are still famous better than McDonald's if you ask me

Good lord, this place is phenomenal. Deservedly famous, one of the very best hot dog joints in the city. Around since the 30s, 4th generation black female owned business, the line is long for good reason! Excellent dogs (recommend deep frying for 25c), and every dog is topped with a generous portion of fries, which are *perfect.* Mozzarella sticks are spectacular too, and under $5
