Philly was horrible puke! Gyro was also puke , fries ... Same. Service was slow... Shall I continue? This place has way to many things on its menus to have anything near fresh... Maybe ther hotdogs... But I'm not gonna be the one to find out waste of my money...

If there was a 4.5 that's what I'd really vote. This place is fantastic! I recently moved into the area and had heard from friends how awesome this place is so I had to try it. After a long day of painting and unpacking I took my family here as a thank you. The service was suuuuuuper friendly, fast, and all around awesome! Everyoe loved the food and when I went to order more food for the bf's dinner they gave me a huge discount. We just tried the chili dogs tonight and are impressed. The bf says too much chili but with the crazy amount of fries they give you, I thought it was perfect! We'll def be there often.

This is a great trustworthy diner to stop at, though it does not have a typical diner counter. It's been around something like 35 years. Great, cheap fried food. Plenty of booths and tv also. Counter staff is always polite. Visit while you can before corporate America destroys it. Bosa Doughnuts next door went out of business thanks to Dunkin.

I grew up in Woodridge but moved away for about 5 years. When I came back to visit I literally went straight here from the airport. I have always loved this place. The people are friendly. The fries come in elementary school lunch bag sized portions. The hot dogs, burgers and, gyro's are all some of the best I've ever had. I have officially tried everything on this menu as of last week. I enjoyed every meal.
(5)Eric R.
Was ok food with normal diner food taste, it did not stand out to me beyond any other diner that serves gyro's, hotdogs, beef, and etc. The fries where good, and you can get RC coda only. You get a good size for the price on the food. And I would say the inside of the place rates as a 2, inside is not all that great.

After reading some of the other reviews for the place, I thought I would give it a try. One of my pet peeves about any restaurant is the temperature of the dining area. I know most lower the heat over night to save a buck, but at three in the afternoon, it should be at least warm. During my visit, it was so cold that my food got cold within minutes of getting it and that my backside was freezing. Now the bad things on the food. 1) $1.79 for a liter if RC, maybe Coke or Pepsi. 2) No poppy seed bun. 3) Run of the mill french fries. 4) Pickle way too big and too cold for the dog. 5) Too much liquid ingredients, bun got soggy. 6) No tray to bring food to table, had to make several trips to counter. 7) Way too much salt on the fries. 8) Order was wrong, had to get it corrected. Needless to say this will not make as one of my favorite places to get a good hot dog.
(1)Mike P.
The food looked amazing up front but the other week it gave me AND my girlfriend food poisoning! The place was just full of kids running the place...didn't look clean either. It took me 4 days to fully recover from that horrible meal. Stay away!

I've been here three times, and every time I've gotten the exact same thing: the gyros platter. The first time I went, I intended to order the gyros "plate," but the guy misheard me and I got the platter. It was a very happy mistake! For an extra 20 cents, the platter comes with Greek fries and two squares of concentrated deliciousness (which is to say, feta). I never even knew I liked feta! I've never been to a restaurant that just hands out hunks of the stuff, especially not for what amounts to less than 10 cents apiece! The portion size is AMAZING, given their quite-reasonable prices. I can eat off this $8 meal for an entire day. I keep going back with the intent to try something new, but visions of feta and more meat than even 2 pitas could possibly contain bring me back to the gyros platter every time. I like to hold a square of feta in one hand and take little bites as I eat the "overflow" strips of gyro meat, until the pita is light enough to actually be picked up and consumed (don't worry, I get it to-go so nobody else has to see this... trust me though, it's a lot of fun!) Maybe one day I'll get sick of the gyros and try something else. But don't count on it! Not anytime soon, at least. I'm about to go pick up platter #4. The only thing I didn't like about Doggie Diner was the smart-aleck sign about how ketchup isn't allowed. Well, I'm not a Chicago native. I wouldn't put ketchup on a Chicago dog, of course, but I still like ketchup on my fries. I can't remove a star for that, since I know most people would probably think it was cool. Still, little kids like ketchup on everything. I think it'd be nice if they kept a bottle around for the customers who want it.
(5)Steve L.
The best greasy spoon ever. Gyros are superb and fries come with every hot dog (like a shopping bag full)
(5)Andy H.
Any place that has green river I will try. Fortunately this place has amazing food. So amazing I've been going back for more for the past 20 years or so years. My suggestions: Try a good ol' Chicago hot dog. Or the gyro. They give you enough gyro meat for two gyro.
(5)Mona F.
After reading all the raves on yelp, we finally decided to check this place out. Their menu spans through all the diner faves: burgers, hot dogs, gyros, sandwiches, wraps... you name it! I was in the greasy burger mood, so I got a double cheeseburger. I am usually critical of burgers but for some reason since I was craving one all day, this seemed to hit the spot. It was greasy, cheesy, had good pickles... but then I realized, when I was down to the last couple bites... it tasted just like a Mickey D's double cheeseburger! Not a good sign. Because of lack of burger taste originality, 3 stars for you, Doggie Diner! But I did finish the burger =/ Like I said, it hit the spot. The thing is, I wouldn't choose McDonald's for my burger craving any other day. The fries on the other hand did show some tasty distinction although I couldn't quite hone in on the exact seasoning they used... but I couldn't stop eating them! Maybe it was MSG... jk.

Think Superman and Lex Luther. Batman and The Joker. Wolverine and Sabertooth. Doggie Diner's Fries and my dieting aspirations. Bitter arch enemies to the end, I'm afraid. I've been dipping into Doggie Diner for these oh-so-delicious fries ever since I was kid. A family friend lives within walking distance of this place, so whenever we'd visit her, it was fifteen minutes behind the church, over the creek, and into the diner's cute establishment. All the food is great here: I've had gyros, hot dogs, and burgers, but their deliciously greasy bag of fries is what keeps me coming back They're lightly seasoned with what tastes like garlic (not entirely sure) and there is always enough for sharing. If you're looking for a place with great American junk food, Doggie Diner is the place for you. The place is decorated in typical diner fare: neon signs and sports memorabilia. There are booths and a table or two, so you can round up a group of friends to hang out. The atmosphere is pretty laid back: the guys and gals behind the counter are the usual high school/ college crowd, so talking to them while the food is cooking is always fun.

Pros: Sadly, there are few family restaurants that aren't chains in Woodridge. Doggie Diner has been around for decades--and they even have more locations now! It's THE local place for cheap eats (especially if you're in a bind where you screw up cooking dinner), and it's pretty quick service considering how busy they can be. There's almost always a line, and they're always taking phone orders, and they even deliver! Cons: Grease. You want fries to go? Perhaps a gyros sandwich? Better apply Scotch Guard to your car's upholstry, because the bags will be soaked in grease. Anyone who's eaten here knows what I'm talking about. The dining room isn't much to boast about, either. The food's okay, but it's not great. But is that the point? I mean, c'mon - everyone's got a favorite here. It's not totally about the food but about enjoying the summer air with a hot dog, fries, and a shake. Get back to work on your diet in the morning.

Great dogs, awesome burgers, huge hook up on fries portion. This place is classic they have awesome food all the way around, and great staff.
(5)Junkyard D.
Just went to the new(er) one in Plainfield on Rt. 59 between 127th and 135th. Food was pretty terrible. The gyro was too salty and my son's hamburger was a nicely prepared leather pattie overcooked between 2 buns. Now, I love Gene & Jude's, Portillo's, Buona Beef. This place is equally priced but dreadfully lower grade. And my wife and I both paid the price the next day, if you know what I mean. Skip this place, grab Jewel's chicken wings (fantastic) or drive a little further to Portillo's if you crave a hot dog or combo. If you crave a gyro, try the mexican version of a gyro...Al Pastor tacos. Same concept of meat on a stick sliced and placed on a corn tortilla. Easier to find and usually better than most gyros.

Anyone who dissed this place is out of their mind. You go here with the right frame of mind and it hits the spot. Yeah, it is greasy. Yeah, it is unhealthy. But where else can you find RC Cola and Green River? Where else do they serve gyros piled so high that you have to eat them with a fork first? And the Tzatziki/cucumber sauce that goes with it is perfect. So many places screw up this ordinary gyro condiment. Chicken sandwiches here are so basic, but it is that combination of fried chicken pattie, the right amount of mayo, and chopped iceberg lettuce that fulfills some craving I like their chili, I eat their clam chowder, and I've tried lots of other stuff. This place never lets me down, ever.
(5)Beer H.
I work by this place, and it is my choice for cheap eats. This is your typical chicago style hot dog, burger, and gyro stand. We always do take out, and they are really fast for the amount of food we order. The people are really nice. I always ask for the fries to be extra crispy, and they always do it. Also, when you get fries to go you get one of those paper lunch bags of fries. It is an insane amount of fires! They do serve beer here. However, it is socially unacceptable to have lunch beers at my place of employment, so I go with some yummy Green River! Great little place, and it is the highlight of a day of work for me.
(4)John D.
I have been eating here since the 1980's. I've enjoyed gyros all over the area but you would be VERY hard pressed to beat Doggie Diner's. ALWAYS consistent as well. All the food on the menu is very good (the typical fair) but I challenge you to find a better gyros. The meat is always hot the sauce is always cold and the onion and tomato are always fresh. I've NEVER had a bad gyro (sandwich or plate) from here. If you're in the area and looking for a bite to eat, this is a perfect place to do so. On a scale of 1-5, for me it's easily a 7!!
(5)Andres D.
I have been a frequent of the diner for 23 years and counting. Growing up Woodridge everyone went to the diner after the saturday morning soccer games for hotdogs and burgers. Now that I am an adult I have enjoyed the Grilled Chicken on Pita with a side of honey mustard. Let's talk about fries people...you get a bag of it! I love it! I look forward to one day bringing my grandchildren here. This is a must whether you are from out of town or live in town...what are you waiting for.
(4)Callie B.
I have been going here since I was little, its always great. Best gyros & fries Ive ever had!
(5)Austria R.
The salad was decent enough but the delivery was shaky to say the least. The driver forgot to come with the credit card machine that was suppose to be with him per my conversation with the man that took my order. I then attempted to pay by phone by calling 10x and the line was busy so I called the driver. He contacted a co worker who said the phone was off the hook. All in all it took about 30-40 minutes to actually get my food and the place is only 6 minutes away. I was even more upset because no one apologized or even acknowledge the inconvenience. The lady that ended up taking my card information even had the nerve to ask was I adding a tip.
(3)Tracy V.
This place is by far one of the best "greasy spoon" type restaurants in the Lisle area however their customer service needs major improvement. I usually deal with the same guy when we place an order because I recognize his voice. He's rude and he's short as if we're taking up too much of his time. They also need improvement with their estimates on delivery time. We always get our food delivered and we're usually told it'll take at least 45 minutes but we've waited over an hour and a half several times. After giving the delivery guy ample time to deliver our food but it still hasn't arrived, we've had to call and ask where our food is and again we get stuck dealing with the rude guy who isn't even apologetic, he just makes us feel like we're bothering him. Because of their rude staff and poor estimates on delivery time I feel 3 stars is a fair review.
(3)Megan L.
I've ordered from this place over the past two years I've lived here, and I've found it to be very mixed. Some of the items on the menu I love; others disappointed me. BUT It's so cheap that a few less-than-stellar items can be forgiven. I suggest giving it at least a couple tries before you write it off. For instance, I really like the hot dogs and gyros, but really didn't like the buffalo chicken wrap. But, the menu is huge, so I think you can find something you like! It's cheap, easy and greasy, so I can definitely appreciate the place. They're busy sometimes when I go in there--seems to be a fairly popular little joint. Never have to wait long for food though. The workers aren't particularly friendly, but aren't rude either. They mostly just keep their head down and seem indifferent, which is fine. And holy CRAP they give you a lot of greasy, greasy fries. That part I love. :)
(3)Tom T.
Pretty damn good gyros here. Wife and I went here after searching for a mom/pop kinda place for gyros. We really liked their food. We got some taters and asked for some feta to crumple on top. Delicious!! Definitely will be back.
(3)Kevin K.
This is probably my favorite place to get food anywhere. The place hasn't been updated in years, but the menu is expansive and everything I've ever tried has been amazing. This is one of those places that are ubiquitous in Chicago, but I think they do a much better job. You can get all the usual suspects here: hot dogs, hamburgers, beef sandwiches, gyros, but then they go above and beyond. They have about ten different types of potatoes: french fries, cajun fries, tator tots, etc. Try the feta cheese on the tator tots! Also, they have a wide variety of sandwiches and salads that you wont find at any other hot dog places. A couple of examples are fried fish and shrimp, wraps, cold sub sandwiches, bbq rib sandwich (this rib sandwich is there year round and I think better than the one at a certain fast food restaurant), cuban sandwich and monte cristos to name a few. The best part is that the food is reasonably priced and you're always surprised by how much you get. They also have specials every day.
(5)Stephanie B.
I just left from having lunch at this place with my family. I have been here once before and thought it was good so I suggested going to Doggie Diner today. HORRIBLE idea. Their menu is huge and seems appealing but the service at this place is completely unacceptable. The guy taking order, smaller bigger guy, was completely cold and disinterested. If you work in a customer service based field you should at least TRY to act like you care. This guy acted like I was wasting his precious time. Completely rude. We had 5 people so we ordered a fair amount and apparently that just irritated him more. After we ordered, he was exchanging looks with his cook counterpart, as to assume he was completely annoyed. How unprofessional. The gyro was decent, the chicken nuggets were just generic freezer, and the fries were bland and showed signs of dirty frying oil. I will never come to this place again and that's a shame considering we are residents of the area. I will most definitely stray others away from this place. Get your act together Doggie Diner, completely unacceptable service and subpar food.
(1)Jeremiah F.
The fish sandwiches looked nothing like what was pictured (pictured: freshly breaded, fried fillets of fish, actual: squares of fish, frozen then fried) but it was still tasty enough. The people eating with me enjoyed their food, even my daughter enjoyed her chicken nuggets. If I'm in the area again, I'll probably stop by for a sub (which my aunt got and it looked great) but I think I'll stay away from the fish. I was just a bit disappointed in that regard.
(3)Tony M.
Good service with a great variety of food! Lots of platters that come with fries, but I thought the Greek Fries that came with the Gyros Platter was just like steak fries with seasoning. The Gyros was good! The meatball sandwich was ok, not much flavor! The regular fries was salted too much! The tater tots was like regular tots nothing fancy with that. The dining area is small, so come with a few friends to eat, not many people unless you want to stand. It's a typical fast food place to get your gyros, hot dogs, and burgers. Not bad for the prices. I will come here again and try the Italian Sausage. They even have ice cream here! No complaints here!
(4)Timothy M.
I've been coming here for years. Great food and they are always very friendly. Everything I have ever had from here has been good so no matter what your in the mood for they certainly will not disappoint.
(4)Caleb Y.
This place rules. It's probably the closest you'll come to a Chicago hot dog dive in the area. The food is all made-to-order, they stack up generous portions of fries (if you're dining in, at least), and a large portion of the menu is dirt cheap. Yeah, the guys behind the counter always seem to be in a bad mood, but - to anyone who has ever been to a hot-dog-hole in Chicago - that's part of the place's charm. Oh, and the food rocks. Chili-cheese dogs are twice as messy as anything Portillo's serves (as they should be), and the gyros come off a spit, not a out of a box. Bottom line; anyone who goes to this place and doesn't know exactly what to expect should probably just stick to the place with the clown in the lobby. If a dingy dining-room, greasy made-to-order food, and a kind of surly staff doesn't appeal to you, stay away. Otherwise, check this place out. Oh, and bring cash. Yeah, they accept credit cards, but there's a minimum. Par for the course in a place like this, but some bitchy girl who "Just wanted a hot dog" was making a stink when I visited once. Cash is definitely easier here.
(4)Ray W.
This place is "just okay." Other than their red sauce, there's nothing I really dislike about it. Being the closest hot dog joint to home, I've been here so OFTEN and tried just about everything. Most everything is "good," but nothing is great. I just wish just one item would stand out. Like the Italian Beef at Teddy's, or the Italian Sausage at Johnnie's, hot dogs at D's, or the Polish at Mickey's... ANYTHING! They sponsor my kid's baseball team, so I'm here more often than I like. Kids chant "Doggie Diner, Doggie Diner..." in the car after a game. So "fine"... I'll drop them there, run to Papa's Pizza down the street for an Italian Sausage on Garlic Bread with Red Sauce on the side, and everybody's happy! But I do like their milkshakes. And if I'm really in the mood for a gyro, there's no "really nearby" alternatives, so that will hold me over to my next visit to Cedar Grill.
(3)Joe S.
At Least they got the name CORRECT, But I wouldn't serve this FOOD(?) to my dog! A sad excuse for a HD, dry bun, curiously colored dog, toppings, UGH! Fries, cheap, frozen, greasey-went in the garbage. Never again! Joe S

Great catering service!!! Very reasonable & staff is extremely helpful and good always delicious!! Keep up the great job Billy!!

This place needs a makeover and is filthy. My food was stone cold. Where are the sanitation rules? Food has to be held at 140 degrees minimum! The staff had on dirty clothes and they all need a makeover and a shave! One of the workers was wearing his hat backwards and it was plain out filthy! People really look around you!
(1)B. S.
reminds me of "Cheers", lotsa regulars and staff is freindly. keep it up
(4)Brian H.
This is your run-of-the-mill Chicago hot dog place. And that can't be more of a compliment! They do pretty much everything right here, great hot dogs, great gyros; an order of fries is giant and covered in a delicious Cajun seasoning. It's all very affordable and the staff are always friendly and usually quick to serve. Have been and will be a customer for many years.
(4)juno g.
The Gyros are the "bomb dizzle", so are the fries.
(4)Alex S.
They have a lot of good stuff on the menu. Some of my favorites are the hot dogs, gyros, burgers, combo with cheese and polish sausage. And when you order fries, you get a bag full ! Not a lot of seating for busy times, but I just do carry out. Cheap prices and you get a lot of food. There is something for anyone on the menu ! Ive been going there since I moved to the area in 1980, and will keep going there till I move away. I have been there so many times that it has to be in the 1,000s ! Food is prepared quickly even in the lunch and dinner rush. I usually get a couple sandwiches so I have good leftovers to bring to work. Of all the times Ive been there I have NEVER had a single complaint. The workers aren't talkative, but that is because they are usually working hard. They all smile at you though. Ive known the owner for years of going there and he goes out of his way to help you and make sure you are satisfied ! All in all, an excellent fast food place with good food for very reasonable prices. I recommend it to anyone !!!!!
(5)Rosie M.
Had the Gyro platter. Greek fries were tasty. Price was good but I encourage a pick up instead of delivery for 3 dollars.
(3)LOIS B.
So, with the hubbie out of town, dining is MY CHOICE. This is exactly what you would expect. The menu covers one wall over the counter ~ how could you not possibly find something to stimulate those taste buds? Yes, with only the dog to share the bed, I selected the gyros. I had not had one in years. It was plenty for me to share with said dog and not have to worry about cooking anything for dinner. I mean, really, the bag still smelled like gyros an hour after I had been home. Can heartburn be far behind? And TOTALLY worth it :) Prices are outrageously reasonable for the amount of food you receive.
(4)Adam G.
Stopped here expecting a decent hot dog. I was not disappointed. Their Chicago Dog was pretty standard fare. The real winner was the Francheezie Dog with Bacon. It was a hot dog filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Definitely a must try if you're looking for a good dog. They also have plenty of other standard diner options. One of my friends enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak dog. Nothing to complain about.
(4)Debra S.
Love this place! the Gyro's are amazing, sauce is just right...they made a mistake on our order and delivered the correct item.
(5)Sarah R.
When I was a kid we lived just down the street and ate here A LOT! I can remember coming here when it was a tiny place before it expanded. Tons of memories. The hotdogs and gyros were the favorites! Then we moved out of state to place where Chicago style comes with ketchup and gyros is made up word that no one understands. Sigh..... Luckily we moved back and though we don't live as close anymore we live close enough to make the occasional special trip. And the food is still as excellent as it was!

Doggie Diner is a restaurant located just a little past 75th street on Janes Avenue in Woodridge. Upon walking in you'll notice there's two doors with a slight divide between them. The door on the right leads to the counter where the menu board is posted and you can place your order. The door on the left is there for patrons to leave and to confuse people who've never visited before. There are a handful of tables inside and a counter with stools right near the menu board where you order your food. When I arrived at Doggie Diner I was fairly hungry and decided to try a few different menu items. Let's first start with the hot dog. The hot dog came on a regular non-poppy seed bun. The bun tasted fresh and was soft with no signs of dryness. In ordering the hot dog I was told that celery salt and peppers are not included by default and that they're optional, I decided to go for both. It was once I received my hot dog that I discovered why this particular hot dog joint has these as optional items. The sport peppers used are of the very very hot variety and I'd recommend passing on them if you plan to eat a hot dog here. The celery salt was applied fairly liberally and almost entirely on the pickle. The pickle was perhaps the biggest downfall of this dog, it's wider than the hot dog and nearly as thick. On my first bite I tasted far more pickle than any other ingredient and this is quite an accomplishment considering how hot the sport peppers were. There seemed to be a bit too much mustard, but the onions and relish were applied well. I'd rate this a two star hot dog at best. Fortunately for Doggie Diner I also decided to try a cheeseburger and tater tots. The burger I received was a juicy well grilled delight. The cheese was an excellent compliment, strangely enough like the hot dog the pickles on the burger were too thick as well. Fortunately, this was the only negative thing I had to say about the burger. I also tried the tater tots, I was surprised by the amount they gave me as it was an entire basket of them, I only finished around a quarter of them while in the restaurant and got a bag to take the rest home. They were crispy on the outside with a nice inside. I'd recommend them. Overall Doggie Diner seems like a good enough place to pick up fast food, however I wouldn't recommend their hot dog. The pickle taste overpowered the rest of the dog. Based on the tater tots, quality burger and fact that they serve green river I'm giving the restaurant an overall 3 stars. I'd come back again, just not for the hot dog.

I am always leery of getting Italian beef from a suburban strip mall joint and Doggie Diner solidified my opinion, their beef was the same stuff I could buy frozen at the Jewels, the rib eye steak sandwich was like trying to eat an old shoe and everything else they serve is just mediocre at best.
(2)Matt P.
The gyros can feed two.. I am quite full after polishing off one . Good flavor.
(5)Finch M.
Love this place. Some of the best gyros and the combo sandwiches are huge and delicious. The fries are incredible here. Always leave here full and everything is tasty.

I just reamed my Dad for coming home with food from Doggie Diner... but it's not what you think. You can get out your dry erase marker and add another tally mark to the rockstar review count for Doggie Diner. Choo choo! This little lady is on board with the Doggie Diner train. So, ashamedly, today was my first (of many to come) Doggie Diner encounters. My Dad came home and asked if I was hungry, I said no and he said "that's too bad because I brought you home a pepper and egg sandwich from a place I'd never been before so you could yelp about it." He knows I love to yelp and the mere mention of trying something new is enough to titillate my hunger spidey sense so I asked where it was from. After he responded with "Doggie Diner" I cut him off with haste and excitement and almost cut a b*tch while yelling WHAT THE HELL!? You didn't get the tater tots with feta cheese!? Apparently, my Dad is the only person I hadn't expressed my longing for these tots to. It all started a few months ago when a fellow yelper (Andres D) posted a pic of the "Greek style tots" online and I went Lady Gaga over them. That's right, rah rah, (open wide) ah ah ah, this is one bad romance. So from that point a few months ago, I have logged on and looked at the posted pic of the Greek style tots AT LEAST once a week. One day, I will get me some damn Greek tots. For today, though I conquered the pepper and egg sammie and the bag of fries. Yup, the whole.entire.f*cking.bag. The fries aren't shoestring thin but they are a thinner cut fry than I'm used to liking but these were outstanding and I, like any good magician, made that bag disappear. The pepper and egg sandwich was the best I'd ever had. The bread was a soggy yet sort of firm (if that makes any sense) and the egg folded inside was beau ideal. It wasn't even like egg, it was like a thin crepe shell with a slight buttery egg flavor. Perfection! This place is Fried Food Supremacy.

Beef is great, chicken wraps are great, and for some reason I think I had cajun fries here? Whether they were cajun or not, their fries were awesome. People that work there are nice, menu is huge, and they even serve beer! Too bad I live far enough away that I can't be a regular, but will always make a point to stop here when I'm out in the Woodridge area.

I actually gave this a lot of thought before throwing my review on here. I know this place is a favorite for many fellow Yelpers, so I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But after trying other restaurants here I just find it too difficult to give this more than 2 stars. The food was really average at best. It's super greasy, which to some might be very appealing. But for some reason it just makes me squeamish. I have to say the meat was really tender and really good. I had the beef on garlic I think. I posted a picture of it, but whatever it was it wasn't that good. :( I really wanted to like it... oh well.

Best fast-food, greasy-spoon place on the planet. It's a not thrills place with hands down the best gyros and Greek fries EVER. So what if it's in a generic strip mall next to the insurance guy...you probably should get insurance so you have an excuse to walk in here at least once a month (and then sign up for a gym membership down the street at Edwards). I grew up on Doggie Diner as a Woodridge/Downers Grove native and I rarely get to go back and visit the original Woodridge location, but it's pretty much exactly the same as I left it. There's some fresh paint, a small flat screen TV for Cubs' games, and some new menu offerings but everything's the same--I can still barely see over the counter since I'm short, the guy taking the order is the same dude (he hasn't even aged a bit, I swear) I talk about this place every time I'm have a gyro craving. Don't even get me started on their Greek Fries -- Ohhhhh MMMMM Geeee! I've had these at several places in the city and nothing, I mean nothing, compares! The Greek Fries at Doggie Diner have the perfect crunch and crispiness and they don't make it soggy by using red vinegar. Their tziki sauce is crazy good. Their gyro meat which I'm sure isn't unique to many places just tastes better for some reason. (And they gook their meat crispy mmmmm).

great little joint hang out place. It reminds me of that place on the show "Happy Days" they always go to that diner and chill. Well great food, not healthy but who said unhealthy wasn't delicious? The diner does need to be more clean....it may not seem inviting but this place is mostly a pick up/delivery.

I haven't had a gyro in years, and the craving suddenly came out of nowhere and backhanded me over the weekend. Crap! I'm in the suburbs. Fire up the yelp app. Snicker at the name. 10 minute drive, cool. There's a really good Filipino/Asian grocery store in that strip but that's for another review. Ordered the gyro platter, which had extra meat and Greek fries. Everything on the gyro. Everyone was friendly and didn't have to wait too long even though there were a few others waiting for orders in front of me. The other reviewers are not exaggerating when they say it's enough meat (and toppings) for two gyros. I was nearly full from just the fries and toppings before I was able to pick the thing up to eat it. Very delicious, meat wasn't too salty, tzatziki was tasty, then couple huge feta cheese blocks on top was a bonus. I had to sleep off the rest of the afternoon to recover, thanks!

Sorry guys... don't stone me! My experience with Doggie Diner was just meh... I lived in Woodridge for almost a year before trying this place due to the fact I thought they made fancy food for dogs. Seriously. The name threw me off. I think those places exist, right? Well the bf brought be home a hot dog and some feta fries from here one hangover Sunday afternoon. The tasteless hot dog was a shade of white I have never seen before and the fries were so soggy they were almost inedible even with a fork. They had a vinegary taste too. Yuck. I will eat almost anything greasy whilst hungover and I couldn't even finish them. I have had my share of great greasy diner food. i.e. Rosie's Diner, Wrigleyville Dog's. I am sorry to say Doggie Diner does not compare. I will probably stick to thinking they make food for our four legged friends.

As a Downers Grove native, I'm ashamed that I didn't eat here any sooner. I have heard about this place growing up, especially when my CCD teacher told me she owned the place, so I finally ventured out to doggie diner during a lunch at work. I love this place and the great selection of hot dogs, pizza puffs, and polish sausages, the list goes on and on. Although slightly more costly than Maxwell's or Jim's Original, I have to say it's up to par with many hot dog joints in the city. The restaurant is quite small in this location, but is well-decorated with Chicago sports memorabilia, so coming here with large groups are not recommended unless you plan on carrying out.

My girlfriend who is a Woodridge native has raved about this place for years. We finally drove from the city on a trip to Ikea and stopped at Doggie Dinner first. We order the Gyros Platter and all I have to say is "Bomb Diggity"-- Cubs fan-friendly atmosphere. I can't wait until the next time I go back.

I've been eating at Doggie Diner since I was like five years old. I mostly come here for the nostalgic feeling, although the food is still pretty good even though I am not really a big hot dog person anymore. The only place I can think of that has better hot dogs than Doggie Diner is Portillo's. I like that they serve RC Cola here. Even though I prefer Coke and Pepsi, I like to have RC every once in awhile, so I think its awesome that they have it here. Doggie Diner has very reasonable prices and they give you a lot of fries, so I still enjoy eating here from time to time.

Five star Gyro Sandwich! Best Gyro I ever had! I don't know what would make one Gyro different form another yet, for what ever reason, here they do it the best. When I get the craving, I will drive all the miles and miles it takes me to get here just to have one . Great hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, and those real thin shoe string style french fries.... Their prices are cheap. Doggie Diner has been around forever! I've never been to any of the other Doggie Diners out there, to me this location is the only one!

Chicago Hot Dog/Beef Stand at its best!!! The Italian Beef is the best I've had. When you tell them wet, it's wet and cheesy and extremely flavorful. Oh and BIG!!! The hot dogs are perfect and two sides of fries fill a freakin brown lunch bag, greasy and salty and delicious! You can't go wrong with the gyro either, don't even bother with the gyro plate just get the sandwich since it's so big. The prices are great too. This is not a place for those on any sort of diet. Green River and RC are available, the last time I saw Green River in a restaurant was at the Cock Robin in Brookfield (moment of silence please for the Cock Robin----oh what a shame it closed)........................ Ok, I used to go to Doggie Diner all the time when I lived in Woodridge, now since I'm way out of the way I try and make a special trip when I'm at the doctors or have some time to kill. My sister now has a DD out by her in Oswego and she is thrilled to have tried it. She used to think Portillos beef was the best around and now she knows different.

ZERO ZERO ZERO GOOSE EGGS :( A co worker ordered & so I thought I would try it. I was horribly disappointed with the burnt gyro meat sent to me in my delivery. For my chili cheese fries I ordered I received no napkins or fork to eat it with. When I called back I got this rude guy on the phone. He said sorry we don't do that. He then hung up the phone called back and I asked for his name he said why? Then asked would you like to speak to the owner which was him. As he proudly bragged. Again said sorry we don't do that even for a delivery & hung up the phone. I will never never ever give them my hard earned money for an order to be delivered EVER again. Someone should secretly bust them for quality control. Oh and the shake does not compare to any shake my kids can make. Don't be fooled the banana shake is vanilla with vanilla flavor that settles to the top. No thanks! Maybe I should have told them I was with the board of health! Really I am! It wouldn't matter. Just have a cast iron stomach and be ready to eat with your fingers & lick them clean.

We love this place! I've been enjoying Doggie Diner since I was a young child. Nothing has changed since then (I think even the decor is the same). The food is made to order, the portions are generous, and the workers are friendly. True Chicago food. We make sure to visit every time we come back "home" to the area.

I love this place. Great Gyros, hotdogs, burgers, etc. Their fries are ok, BUT they have Tator Tots!! They have a lot of options...The best part is when me and my girlfriend went there for the first time, we were standing in line and were talking about how awesome tator tots were, and the guy who was working must have overheard us, because he gave us a bag even though we didn't order them. It was a nice surprise, and that kind of service has kept us coming back. When we need something greasy and terribly unhealthy and delicious, it's where we go. They also serve beer, and I've seen people hanging out there for drinks, but it's more of a grab your food and go kind of place.

Let's continue with the alliteration of the business name within this review. I've experienced Doggie Diner a couple times in a variety of forms as someone working and living in the area: Hole-in-the-wall happiness: Located within a suburban strip mall with not an entirely appetizing name, it's def more of a place the locals visit. Dining area is divey yet cozy with basic tables and chairs, sports memorabilia and TVs in the corners. Counter for placing orders is super high, but still allows customer to converse with cashier and cook. Short and sweet service: Quick and friendly with both delivery and carry-out. Even though I tend to have a lot of specifications (ie. dressings on the side, subbing out items, questions about specials for the day), employees are understanding and willing to accommodate. Greasy goodness - It's the kind of food to either have the morning after a late night-out or the kind of place to go for a quick bite. I've gotten a variety of items in the past such as the gyro, Greek salad and tots. Portions will always be ginormous. For instance, one time I thought was getting a small side for my tator tots + feta but it turned out to be a basket. And another time, my gyro was bursting with meat. However, size doesn't always matter ... when it comes to food, of course. Tater tots were crisp on the outside, soft on the inside - just like how I prefer my fries and tots. The feta was a unique salty/creamy complement, but the dish would be even better if there was a bit more seasoning to kick up the flavor component. I ended up dousing mine with tangy ketchup and sprinkling ground black pepper. As for the gyro meat, it isn't the most juicy/tender or flavorful that I've had. The Greek salad is actually one of my go-tos because of the surprisingly fresh ingredients - bright romaine instead of iceberg, which I truly appreciate, as well as crisp slices of cucumber, thinly sliced white onion, plump black olives and more chunks of feta. The vinaigrette is light and added the right acidity. Loyal on local - For fast food, I'd prefer Doggie Diner any day compared to the nearby national chains in the area so I will continue to patronize this joint when in a pinch or in need of some sustenance post-all-nighter.

By far the best place in the West Burbs for a hot dog or gyro. Best gyros around, by far.
