Easily one of the best places for a quick hotdog fix. The people are polite, and the food is good. Nothing truly special, but worth stopping by and tryin it out.

A great spot for a quick dog & fries. I've had better Chicago dogs.....but this place is very easy to get in & out of. A huge parking lot, convenient location, FAST service and good dogs.

Here's my review as promised: excellent! The menu is perfect for a quick selection, including dessert! Parking is ample, you can call ahead to pick up an order and they take credit cards. The staff is Uber friendly (seriously, they were cool.) The food was made quick, clean and delicious. I had the bacon and cheese fries and Chicago hot dog (previous reviewer was right, NO poppyseeds on the buns! SMH.) They lose a star for not having poppyseeds and for only having Pepsi products, yuck. Other than that, 4 star service and food, excellent little hole in the wall!

Good Chicago style hotdogs and good price, love the cheese sticks they taste fresh not over cooked. Italian beef is good if you like flavor thin sliced been not the shredded kind also bread was fresh not hard. Overall great stop for a quick eat

Great hot dog joint but the service isn't what you would call excellent. Tip: Try not to go on lunch hour during weekdays. Atleast 30 min wait.

I have been by this place dozens of times on the way home from the casino, so I thought I would take the dive and try it out. Should of have kept going! Walk into the place and found a seat at the counter and waiting for several minutes, I finally get waited on. The other girl yells out the cost and gives me a look. Now I have to get back up and dodge around several other customers to get to the register. She could have walked down just as easy. The two employees did not seem to be too friendly except for the people they knew. Ordered two dogs with everything. See her dumping frozen fries into the fryer, I was hoping for fresh cut. I get my order and was kind of taken back to what was on the dogs. Mustard, onions, and some strange pepper (tasted good however), looking at the prep table I see all the other normal hot dog toppings. I look at the menu board and see that there is a hot dog and then there is the Chicago hot dog, which included the rest of the toppings for a additional fifty cents. So I guess the addition of some relish, tomatoe, and pickle is worth fifty cents? Now if I asked for a plain hot dog, I would get it cheaper from the lack of ingredients? The bun was nicely steamed but no poppy seeds and the hot dog appeared not to be a natural casing dog. Like I said the pepper was tasty, but biting into it released a lot of liquid making the bun soggy. I should of known that this place was not going to be to good, when I seen the computer screen behind the counter for tracking orders. It is a hot dog stand and not McDonald's. Two dogs and a drink was $7.50, way too much for what I got. Most places run a special for $5.00 with a much better dog.

I have a crappy old car (hope it's not reading this right now, oh wait cars can't read) so I ended up taking U.S. 12 to the Indiana Dunes (to avoid sputter, sputter, freeway die). On the way we passed this little diner called Arnie's. My two hungry friends demanded I stop the car. I didn't. They got angrier to the point where on the way home, I wanted Arnie's. This place, if you don't miss it just past the Chicago city line, is absolutely brilliant. It's a little piece of small town Indiana right across the border (as is, realistically, Whiting itself). Walking in, be prepared to be bombarded by country music and hospitality - well, as much hospitality as you can get at a diner where short order cooks scramble frantically to prepare orders (even if there are no orders to be had as was the case when we went there). Short order cooks may be too much of a description, however. It's more just a whirling dervish of staff and deep fryers. But what they pull out of those fryers is magical. The best part of Arnie's is that there are picnic tables outside with which to eat. The only problem with these is that they are, apparently, meant for National Geographic photographers. On our visit, there were so many spiders, the place could be mistaken for the Amazon exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium. There are plenty of diners in this world but for pure "Little Pink Houses," Arnie's is worth the small road trip.

Very tasty Chicago dog. Tiny place and kind of slow but it was worth the trip. I will probably go back there.

(Preface: This place is on my "Two-Week List," in which I list the top twenty restaurants and bars that I'd go to if some soothsayer came up to me and told me that I only had two weeks to live. Check out the full list on my profile!) If you live in Chicago, hop on 41 and come here. It's right over the state line. And I promise that it's worth it. You know that neighborhood place that you think about from small town 1950s middle America, where the cops go on their breaks, the kids go after their little league games, and you know the teenagers working there? That's this place. It is outstanding, and no other hot dog compares. (Not even the famous Crif Dogs in New York City.) The seating is minimal-- the only option on circular stools along the counter. But I like that-- it really transports you back in time! I grew up eating here, and after moving out east, I DREAM about these hot dogs and fries. And every time I go back, it's still just as satisfying. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And don't skip the fries -- why would you do that?!?!?

What's there to say about Arnie's Dog House? From its rinky-dink appearance to its rude staff, Arnie's really makes me think twice about eating their dogs. The first time I ordered, I was treated rudely and it seemed as though they couldn't get me out the door fast enough. So fast in fact, I was shorted 4 chili dogs that I had paid for. I thought to myself, "Alright, it was pretty busy, I can understand how they could feel and mistakes can be made with such a crowd." But the next time I ordered, post lunch rush, I was again treated like I was wasting their time. From the faces the staff made to how sloppily my food was assembled, I felt that I really should stop eating there. But hey, third times a charm, right? No, unfortunately the third time was not the charm. As the waitress took my order with such horrid attitude, I could feel the scorn emanate from her cohort behind the counter. This time, I was sure to check my order. It was done completely sloppily and also wrong. When I returned the food, the waitress claimed that it was exactly what I ordered, and after a few minutes of arguing, I finally got my correct order. So what's left to say? Despite such shoddy service, those jerks behind the counter can grill a pretty good dog. Will I return to Arnie's? Not anytime soon. Maybe if I'm really craving one of their dogs, I'll give them another shot and hopefully by then they'll have learned to respect their customers.

The hot dogs get 2 stars. The crazy-ass spiders, 4! Averages to a 3. Seriously. I don't think I'd drive that far for some greasy ass food. Superdawg has better food, and nicer atmosphere. But, MAN, there were like 500 spiders just outside, in their outdoor dining area. And not lazy ass, sleepy spiders, but bodies as big as dimes, running 4 feet in a few seconds. They were going up and down webs like in a cartoon, and tons of them. It was like a spider village, abuzz with gossip. So we ate our food away from the no-cost spider exhibit, on the one picnic table away from their reach. But they found us. A big spider came running across our table in an act of intimidation. We picked up our food and hurried to the car, drove to Chicago and never looked back. The spiders, they own that place.

A hot dog, is not just a hot dog when it comes from Arnie's. I travel all the way from Chicago just to have the best damn hot dogs....cause to be brutally honest no place in Chicago compares, and I've had lots of hot dogs from all over the city and they just don't match. if you're ever in Indiana for the cheap gas, cigarettes, or for the casinos definitely check this place out, its right near the boarder.

Steamed buns, awesome Chicago dogs, Fries included for a cheap price. We live within walking distance which is good and bad. The onion rings are my husbands favorite while I just go for the usual dog and fries. The staff changes frequently so it's hit or miss with our favorite ladies. The atmosphere is fun in the summer, always a line of local workers -which is out the door most of the time.

The top dogs I've had anywhere. The Polish are exceptional as well. The chili dogs are fantastic. Did I mention that you can't get finer French Fries anywhere? They just started serving Italian Beef too, I am sorry to say I have not tried them yet. Maybe someday. A friend told me they are good, but they do not match Portillo's excellence.

Let me just say that I consider myself quite the expert on hot dogs. I do enjoy Arnie's hot dogs but I would not travel very far for one when there are decent hot dogs all over Chicagoland. While Arnies serves one of the better hot dogs in Whiting, I never find myself making a special trip to go there. Usually I end up eating there when I happen to be passing by and am in the mood for a dog. Not everyone is a big hot dog lover believe it or not, so if you are eating with someone who would like greasy spoon but doesnt want a hot dog, I recommend Richway Gyros. They serve all beef hot dogs with the standard Chicago dog condiments and they serve up a good gyros, hamburger, cheese sticks, etc.
